  2. Exhaust Fan Question

    Thats the fan I was looking at, but in 8", I can't enlarge the 6" pipe that goes out the wall, so would a 10" fan going into a 6" pipe cause issues?
  3. Exhaust Fan Question

    the current print room is about 15'x20' with 8 foot ceilings. the current fan just helps to get the ink smell out on long print runs.

  5. Window perf with lamination

    It's the anti graffiti laminate, I had the same thing happen, it's not a vinyl based product so it doesn't behave like vinyl. I ended up having to redo the job and store and transport the panels flat.

  9. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    One of my favorite Canadian finance youtubers just put out a very good video explaining why these 200-300% tariff figures that are being thrown around online right now are not only disingenuous but also completely incorrect, it's worth the 15 minutes to watch, he cites all of his sources and...
  10. US Tariffs, Sigh!

  13. Convincing a customer that their file is low resolution

    It really does! The number of vector canvas files I've gotten recently that don't behave like any vector I've ever seen is alarming. Got one this week and I went to change the background colour to match the closest cut vinyl and instead of showing a deep yellow, it showed grey, but the swatch...

    Here's the way I look at it, I can usually tell fairly early on in the initial conversation if this person is likely to know what a vector file is. If I get the feeling that they don't, I add a small charge to the quote to cover sending their file off to get vectorized. On the off chance that...

  18. Summa F-Series blade for cutting paper?

    Actually I use the kiss cutting to to cut a lot materials, thin polystyrene works well, you can dial it in to almost cut through, and then just pop the pieces out, styrene is horrible to cut with the big knives because it always lifts and gets caught.
  19. Summa F-Series blade for cutting paper?

    I use the kiss cutting tool, it works great on paper because the pressure of the spring holds the paper flat and stops it from lifting and tearing
