  7. Masking tape...

    What brand of masking tape do you guys prefer. Sometimes it is the little 2 dollar items that really move me when I am trying to get stuff done. Almost all my 2" rolls of 3M masking tape do not pull evenly they almost always tear a few inches at a time. Last week I tossed about 5 new rolls...

    We did a sign for a client 5'x20' (2 '5x10' panels connected). He liked it when he picked it up but after hanging it he is wondering if we can go bigger to make it easier to read from a distance.

    I have a large decal run to do for a construction company. They are 34" wide decals they have requested air release for easy installation. They are going to need a few rolls of material just for this run so instead of wasting 18" on 54" roll of 35c was wondering if anyone sales a 36"...
  14. Gs6000 manual head align?

    I am getting some minor banding (more noticeable in my darker colors). My head alignment setting is normally set on 4 for all 3 settings. But #1 actually is the best to where the lines are connected (not perfect but better than #4). I still continue to get banding so my question is could it...
