    HUGE HELP NEEDED!!!!!!!

    Awwwwwww c'mon now, we were all once young and a total prick, why the hate LOL!!!! For every seeder there is always 99 leechers thats just the way it is. We can bitch about it and scare off potential new members or just keep doing what we do and hope to eventually attract the good ones. No way to control it, just play the odds brother.

    Nice work! In the meantime before you get clear app tape, get a roll of clear packing tape and use it to mask just over the registration points and use your regular paper tape over the graphic, yer just gonna cut off the reg points anyway so it wont matter.

    Printing on vinyl with inkjet printer

    The 3635 Sihl vinyl I got does not smudge and comes out completely dry from the printer, but like I said the app tape pulled some of the black off, and I sprayed some water on it and rubbed it with a sponge and it started to mess up the decal. As the others have said the laminate over it solves all these problems.

    Cograts!!!! Looks great! Weeding sucks regardless. Yer gonna learn to hate it with a passion. I picked up a set of teflon coated tweezers from Michaels that have razor sharp points on them and are reversed, so you squeeze them to open them and release them to close for like 10 bucks and they are by far the best weeding tool I have used so far. They have a bent tip so they are easier to hold.
  13. I think i finally got somewhere with the new Epson 2200 and the contour cutting on the roland. Here is my first printed, laminated (with the big squeegee) and contour cut motocross plate for my buddies kid.

    Finding jobs

    You need someone that is on your city council or some inside jobber to get the info on city tenders & stuff like that. In my experience its WHO ya know not WHAT ya know when it comes to stuff like that.

    Printing on vinyl with inkjet printer

    Got my printer & the contour cutting issues solved, printed & cut some decals last night & they were completely dry the moment they came out of the printer. no smudging no bleed. The only issue im having is the app tape seems to pull some of the black outlining off the print when removing it. The guy I got the printer from said he was running matte black cartridges in it (photographer), im wondering if that has anything to do with it??

    Dude it looks like AARDVARKS!!! You put it up for people to critique, you need to take the good with the bad when asking peoples opinions, why the need for the namecalling?

    Got it figured out, for some reason the cutter was set with the x & Y axis switched, put it back to factory default and away she goes!!!!!!!!

    Question about reflective vinyl

    Its possible, its expensive as hell, and its really thick so adjust your blade and pressure as necessary. a 60 degree blade will help.
