Looking to see if you could do 9-12k postcards for me a month for my real estate business, what’s the best way to get in touch with you. I’ve called the number on your website but I’ve missed you a couple times

Hahah try cutting cards with color borders can be quite challenging. Best of luck with that! In my experience, Uchida handles glossy materials much better, especially with their suction mechanism.

Great work man! Curious question...after this video, did you happen to install in-line filters or a flow regulator? Thank you so much! Working on getting the compressor situated for the new shop we're building, but this part has been the most confusing to me.

I thought plastic (Coro) can’t be cut with laser
@smalltownink Ай бұрын
I used to think that as well. Very important not to cut PVC, but coroplast is fine.

Shop cat is getting big now. As always, thanks for the sharing the day to day of the shop. Looks like you got that coroplast cut out workflow on point now with the laser.

I have a 130w and cut at 40mm/s and 45% power.

I’d love to know how you prep your windows for perf install? We are having lots of issues with perf peeling from the bottom corners.
@smalltownink Ай бұрын
So I didn’t get a chance to explain it in this video, but we are actually testing torching the window with a blow torch to remove anti fog properties which helps with adhesion. Also, it if very important to remove direct with alcohol from the window but also at the base of the window as static from the laminate tends to attract dust and once a little dust gets in there, it will surely peel.
@leonardo29098 Ай бұрын
For perf on windows I would suggest 6mm permanent double sided tape on cheap materials. Or buy a expensive per and outgass for 24 hours minimum. Also use only cast lamination. Arlon, avery , 3m or orafol. Just make sure it's cast lam. I found that if the ac is inside you need the double sided tape to help. If not tape then a high quality silicone. Tape and silicone prep
@smalltownink Ай бұрын
@@matthewphillips263 also, when you laminate, don’t use heat! It causes bad curling.

I don't know if there's any cheat sheet for flexi alignments, but you are able to change a lot of the hotkeys yourself so that might be why. I've got it all set on the defaults and just about memorized them all by now, but a cheat sheet would be sweet!

Always love seeing the shop in motion, John. I would recommend on a sign like the "Mike Alicia" one, to trim out the background white a bit more so you don't waste so much ink. Looks like the artboard was a square instead of the shape of the sign. Awesome work all week, as always.
@smalltownink Ай бұрын
Absolutely good point! Normally what I do is I select an option for "valid pixel only" instead of "entire print area", but I forgot on this instance. The good news is my White ink usually expires before I use it all!
