Great vid Steve! I always enjoy seeing other peoples workflow / equipment / techniques! Thanks for sharing with us! Also, I believe there's nothing wrong with your heat gun, it just doesn't run at the same time as the lever element.
Great setup and very organised. When it comes to laminating we used to do the same thing for a couple of years and put a box at the base to run the media through the laminator. We ended up and put two brackets off the laminator, just off the shelf ones and a metal pole cut to the same width. Then slide the pole through the roll and the media would roll smoothly off the pole and through the.laminator. Worked really well we would run a 30m roll through at a time and trim off as needed after it slid in the table. 😊
Hey Steve, the heat gun stops when you are sealing since the heat gun is a passthrough plug on the sealer itself. It's a circuit overload thing. Love watching your process - incredible work and work ethic.
Nice! That's all the extra stuff I don't use as often (my mostly used stuff is on a nice wall rack) but there is absolutely a roll of Suede in there. I've started to use Dreamscape Mystical and really like it a lot. I'll have it featured on a upcoming video of an office I am branding!
Great Video, nice touch at the end with the Thank You note, coasters and pens. I love your whole setup. One question, can you tell me what ruler you used to cut the laminate sheet? Thank you very much.
Love the video! I’m curious, why use step and repeat opposed to the quantity option within the RIP screen? I always setup one item, then select it and RIP. You can then configure the quantity you need and adjust how wide, the spacing between and so on!
Hey Matt, Sometimes I cut strips on the summa after kiss cut so I always setup a full file and rip that. I think I just did it this way out of habit but your way would have worked in this case and would have been easier!
Excellent video! Only suggestion I would have made... Cut down the box. :D Get yourself a box resizer. You'll save yourself the cost in dim weight alone.
Hey Anthony! These are used in a partially exterior application and the client likes the film so they requested it for these! I wasn’t comfortable recommending 35C for these.
Can you share what profile you’re using with the HP? I have a new HP 365 and I can’t get rid of the “grain” look on colors. Black comes out perfectly. Any thoughts?
Every material should have its own profile as each one is different. Most can be downloaded from either the manufacturer or some of the suppliers have them on their websites as well! I would start there.
@@stevethegraphicsguy thanks for your response. I’ve already upload the appropriate profile, just have some graininess in some of the colors. I’ll keep messing around, hopefully I can get it a little more dialed in. Thanks again
Hello Steve, I am a retired builder ( general contractor ) from Australia, I make stuff to fill in time TH-cam put this video in my suggestions, you explained the process really well and in a very understandable way, I think the comment about die cutting was meant for metal dies that are made in the shape of the sticker and used in a press, I'm not sure what you would call this type but to me it is a normal progression of technology. Dies were the only way years ago - and may still be used, but you wouldn't make a die for 200 stickers. Anyway, I've subscribed, Best regards.
Thanks for watching! Yes traditional due-cutting was certainly done that way and still used today, just not in my shop. This is todays standard of a printed die-cut decal meaning that it’s cut to the outside shape through the backing.
@@stevethegraphicsguy What it can cut through is fantastic. I can recall cutting many projects by hand while working in a print shop. By the way, is it a vacuum that keeps the project from moving around?
You should do a video on the take up reel for your printer, I'm nervous about using ours.
Just added it to my list. I'll try to do a short this week!
Very cool you showing your operation.
Glad you liked it!
Steve is the man !!! I have been working with Steve for many years and learned a lot from him . Great video Steve hope for many more 👍
Couldn't agree more! haha thanks Paul!
Thanks for sharing. Nice seeing how the process works from start to finish.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Oh, that totally makes sense I didn't even think of that!
Excellent video! We just got a Summa F1612 a few weeks ago and will be getting trained on it soon. Looking forward to your content!
That’s super exciting! You will absolutely love it. Let me know if you have any questions after training!

Ahh yeah, that makes sense. Thanks!
Thank you Steve! This is a great video, I learned a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
cool stuff ..that summa is a great machine ..
Thanks for watching!
Nice work! Your roll setup looks just like my setup with one roll of Dreamscape. I would guess its a Suede. LOL

Now you're making me look bad, I guess I need to upgrade to a nice roll rack. LOL @@stevethegraphicsguy

Thanks! I use the Keen Cut 54” - a.co/d/9wRK1ca

Been watching most of your videos and great job. What is brand of packing tape and the machine your using, I really like the setup.
Hi Steve, im Olcay from Austria (Europe). I see that you like youre job very much. Details are very important.
Hey, thanks!
Excellent video! Only suggestion I would have made... Cut down the box. :D Get yourself a box resizer. You'll save yourself the cost in dim weight alone.
Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that the tool existed so I will definitely be purchasing one!
Hi Steve! Thank you for your content!! Can I ask you something, What printer did you have when you first started your business?
Believe it or not I’ve had the HP Latex 360 since the start 9 years ago! Probably due for an upgrade soon!
Baller IJ180 for some stickers !?
I would try IJ35C all the good properties only $200 a roll

Where do get your printed package tape?

Sorry, Question, where do you get your packaging company brand box packaging tape from?
Do you have a web site?
I do but it is for my day to day business - precisiongraphix.net
Nicely detailed process - but this is not die cutting as the title implies.
What would you call it?

Nowsaday, the term die cut is using whether the process using die or not. It's an easy term for customers between die cut and kiss cut.
The program looks familiar. Looks like Flexi sign.
You got it!
Do you call that cutter a plotter? Never seen a cutter look like that. Wow. Looks like high-dollar equipment.
It has many names. Flatbed cutter is the most common.
