Irish III replied to Diane Hook's discussion Working with Registration Marks"I tested blade force until I got a clean cut-started at 60 and ended up at 175 for the same Oracal 3165RA and the Oracal (can't remember #) laminate.

Roland R. Irish III replied to Greg Peckham's discussion Moving SP300V"Thanks, Irv and Butch...luckily we only have to move it about 1/2 a mile if that far. Could almost roll it up the sidewalk except the sidewalks are crap around here. He has an old VW pickup truck we can put it in and tie it down. Probably be…"
Roland R. Irish III replied to Greg Peckham's discussion Moving SP300V"I wish a tech had jumped in with more info about moving-I have to move ours in the next couple days just up the street-and figured I would only have to put the original 'cap' on the excess ink bottle, lock down the heads with the blue…"

Roland R. Irish III replied to Stephanie's discussion Coroplast Sign Material"There are several good suppliers in New England-don't know where you are. I get 'discount' rates on orders of 10 full sheets or more, and delivery on their own trucks is an additional $10 per order. You can buy a coroplast…"

Irish III commented on Kevin Gibson's blog post Magnetic items on the versacamm"I don't print magnetic material on my SP300V...because I won't use anything less than the .030 material and I don't want to have to lift the print head up.

- Thanks Steve...I already have posted a comment and also a question about printing on cloth.
Saw the article about printing on canvas and using stretcher boards to create art-already a project I am working on with my nature photography. Should have found this site years ago!
I will have to pass it on to the roland group on yahoo, but don't know how to do that without you getting invaded by the crapspam that has hit the group there.
