I have a lot more cards to make, but this will be part of my daily continuous imp...

      @stevethegraphicsguy 18 дней назад

      Thanks Matt! I don’t believe that it does. I could leave it on, but still need to shut the valves in case the power did go out. We haven’t really had power issues in the past but I don’t want to deal with the aftermath if it does lose the pressure. I think something happens where the ink back flows into the pressure tubes and creates a mess!

    I live in an old house with single pane old school windows. Not ready to replace them, yet, but I am anxious to explore the application of optically clear window film directly to both sides of the panes (like car window tinting only clear). Winter's coming and I need whatever insulation properties may be afforded. There are countless people like me with similar windows and a DIY video with product suggestions just might get some attention. There are plenty of videos about applying clear plastic material around the window frames, not pressesd onto the actual glass. I want to apply the film to the glass, itself, semi-permanently, both sides. I might do the more peripheral window application, in addition, but after. Why there is this blind spot in DIY window upgrade is beyond me.

    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. 😊
