  3. Software for running Summa cutter

    Hi all. We just got a Summa S2 T140 and it looks like a nice machine. But the summa cutting software is a piece of crap. Do you have any suggestions on software to run it? We have both Mac and Windows. We have two graphtecs and we run it with Cutting Master 3 plug in. Our favorite was...
  4. Need help with Roland!!

    Hi. We have VG2 for 1.5 year and we have no issues with our machine. I agree the contour cutting is not as accurate as cutters like graphtec but not anything like you are experiencing. I am very sorry to hear that and I’m curious to see if you found the culprit. please keep us posted
  5. Generic take up?

    We bought and used Chinese generic take up for 3 years and it did job pretty well. We had to bolted it to the table which our laminator was sitting. I am not sure how you attach it to S40. We had the same printer too. It was impossible to get the tech come out to our shop and it broke down...

    Hi, this is 3-part question. Do you think you need color management skills like profiling with xrite and stuff? if yes, have you taken a class on it? Or are you going to? if yes, which class? thanks for all your feedback!
  7. Primer for canvas to make it printable with Eco Sol

    I guess you don't really read carefully. I know you can buy printable canvas as I posted on the OP.
  8. Primer for canvas to make it printable with Eco Sol

    Hi All. I want to prime canvas to make it printable with our Eco Sol. Any idea what primer we need to use?? We used 1.2.3 Paint primer and it worked sub-par. Printed Image was only ghost. I know there is printable canvas outthere. I am not looking for recommendations for printable...
  9. What's your recipe for Application Fluid?

    We are pretty comfortable with dry installation as long as it's printed graphic. We had a few jobs with tint film in past months. You just CAN NOT install them without fluid. The maker of the tint film told me that Rapid Tac dries too fast for the film and advised us to make our own soap fluid.
  10. What's your recipe for Application Fluid?

    We used to use Rapid Tac but making our own these days. We use 10 droplets of Dawn each 32oz of water. It works fine but the fluid seems to go "bad" fast. Like moldy or whatever. It smells bad too. Do you all people mind sharing your recipe? FP
  11. Need installers for a job in Tacoma WA.

    Ah too bad. I knew some in the past. None of them are in the biz anymore. Pretty sad.
  12. Need installers for a job in Tacoma WA.

    Hi all. A client of mine, auto dealership, is looking for an installer for their wall mural. This is an independent job. Not an employment. 2 pcs, 29' x 12' and 27' x 16' Self-Adhesive Wall Mural media (possibly Phototex or similar). Date: TBD. in two weeks. Please reply or DM if you are...
  13. Question vinyl won't stick

    If that's the entire wall covering, like wall mural, I would let the paint air-out for a few weeks (if you have the luxury). If not, I would paint it with the sealer. I am sure you know and have been told that the paint needs to be air-out at least a few weeks, longer in winter months...
  14. REAL Fluorescent vinyl / print for Black Light

    Hello Sign101 peep. Do you guys know any fluorescent products that glow under black light?? The fluorescent vinyl from 3M didn't glow. I wonder if there is anything like that available? Thanks! FP
  15. Have I mentioned lately that Graphtec Cutting Master 4 SUCKS?

    I feel like CM2 was the best of all. But we have been using CM3 for as long as it’s been available. Downloaded CM4 and used only a few times. Don’t remember what exactly the issue was but we didn’t like it.
  16. Question Customer refuses to pay, can I take his graphics down?

    As previously posted. We hired a collection agency called Veri Corp. They were extremely fast and reliable. Their fee is 25% of the debt. I only had invoices and nothing else and they worked from there. No cost unless they collect money. Then they send us a bill for 25% of whatever the...
  17. Question Customer refuses to pay, can I take his graphics down?

    We had a job with a hipster cafe with 2 entitle Restaurateurs who kept ignoring us. Went on for 9 months them kept telling "I was away, I will pay you when I come back in town". I got fed up and hired a collection agency 2 weeks ago. They paid up like a chump right away, but I am now stuck...

    Sorry but could you explain what the biscuits are? Maybe I have seen them but did't now what it is....
  19. 18' x 8' large graphic hanging from high ceiling

    Hi. A client wants us to make 18 x 8 ft printed dibond hanging from a high ceiling. I told them it's not going to be a good look since you have to put 5 sheets of dibond together with some kind of frame strong enough to hold the weight. Then hang it from the high ceiling? It means you can...
