  1. Safety Speed Helios Substrate Cutter

    I was going to say it looks like an import homage to a folding Javelin cutter, but their website talks about a Minnesota factory. If they've also taken inspiration from KeenCut's customer service, then I'd certainly consider it, if I was on your side of the pond.
  2. What UK supplier do you recommend for correx sheets

    I've had our SteelTrak for over a decade, and just shifted it for a third time to a new site. Took les thsan an hour to rebuild, install and make true. Cuts PVC, DiBond, Kapa, acrylic, and glass; would chomp through correx. Struggles with aluminium over 1mm. I've also got a Javelin bench for...
  3. They're takin our JOBs!

    I saw that when the video first came out. My thought was the companies who wrap fleets of vans as they leave the factory could utilise a one sided version of this to apply all the graphics - squeegie or gloved silicon finger in to all the recesses, heated, post heated, dead perfect pressure in...
  4. Nix Color Spectrometer

    I thought that external rips can access the data from Epson Edge?
  5. The next generation of adobe users now work among us

    Pantone buys Canva, and only licences it to their new aquisition, and their fledgling rip software
  6. Wanted Canon IPF8300 Supplies

    Try Inkjet Mall - not shortdated, but a good manufacturer of 3rd party ink
  7. How many one man shops are there? How many things do you do?

    My feminine side says I'll take the south London franchise. Do I have to alter to get the weird front tooth?
  8. I read all these ways 'to' and 'not to' do things in signland......................................................

    Some things don't need to get reinvented, when experience, or research helps you find an answer (S101). New and original solutions can be developed, but often times, wiser heads have got there, and made it standard, or even regulation. Got reported today by a safety elf, because I didn't have...
  9. I read all these ways 'to' and 'not to' do things in signland......................................................

    “what about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project.” “Ah,” said the marketing girl, “well, we’re having a little difficulty there.” “Difficulty?” exclaimed Ford. “Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It’s the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!” The...
  10. How many one man shops are there? How many things do you do?

    I'm currently a one man shop in a larger (still small) organisation. I send quotes, using a home brewed FileMaker solution. For the last year, I've been trying to find time to update the system, so that I can take the quote>active>complete>invoice>payment>accounting software to an automated one...
  11. Question Everything I've learned about perf cut/die cut stickers

    If your supplier of smart knives is Harry, I hope you were sitting down, and had a fresh pot of coffee to hand. It would be quick enough to apply the app tape on the laminator, but could be a pig to remove the individual stickers from it. Could use low tack app tape, and then run the premask...
  12. Decal needs to be 50' long

    Long day?
  13. Need Help Greys Printing Blue

    I spend 3% of my working life helping folks printing in colour darkrooms. Jumping from RGB to CMY thought processes - reminds me of a day, decades ago while doing C&G747 in the darkroom printing both colour negs *and* transparencies. Easy to slip into the wrong correction.
  14. Tipping Question

    That was my secondary (mid ?) school musical, and Sandy was a peach.
  15. Tipping Question

    Now, if he'd stolen my mojito...
  16. Decal needs to be 50' long

    My bad - I haven't actually had to do this, but as said sounds (un)fun.
  17. Tipping Question

    (Late) Client was old enough to be my grandmother (and I'm the wrong side of 50), but a lovely lady who enjoyed the finer things in life (of which I'm certainly not one).
  18. Decal needs to be 50' long

    Sounds fun to install.
  19. How do you pack extra large decals?

    Them cores, boxes, and plastic sleeves and roll holders are worth hoarding (a moderate percentage of).
  20. Decal needs to be 50' long

    Tile it as above, but if they want it in one string, calculate the cost based on 36"x50', and quote accordingly
