  3. Full Coverage on Storefront Windows A No-No?

    A customer wants a quote for a digital print installed across two window sections on their storefront. The official word from Orafol Canada is that it's not a good idea given that glass expands with heat and could crack. They recommend a 1-inch gap between aluminum window columns. This is in...

    Older Roland Cammjet C60. Has always worked fine for me. I noticed some of my cuts were getting a little "grabby" during weeding, so I figured it was time to change up the blade.
