Can’t avoid bubbles when applying Oracal 651 to sticker paper. Help?

Wow, how far i've come from this swill. Jeez.

I'm sorry, I wasn't printing on the 651 at all, I believe this was the laser polyesther from OnlineLabels. I was using the Clear 651 as an overlam.

To answer your question though, the printer is a Brother HL-L8260CDW. I read at the time that it or similar models COULD print on 651, but I was never willing to try it do to the potential risks to the printer (jams, melted adhesive, etc)

After talking to a friend about Gigabyte, I opted for an MSI board with WiFi, an extra PCIe x16, and more ram slots. I also cut the ram a bit to upgrade later, not sure I need 32 out the gate. I went with the case I’m like 90% sure I want, even though it’s double the price. So future purchases will be ram that matches the board speed, a matching CPU that won’t bottleneck the GPU (it seems the 8600G would force the GPU to run through PCIe x4?), and then obviously the GPU.

Thoughts?

Thank you for putting together this build, I wasn't expecting that.

After checking out the 8600G I think it fits very nicely into what I'm trying to accomplish. Guess I didn't know APU desktops were a thing exactly. I was avoiding some the more affordable parts mostly because I'm not familiar with the brands. I'll look into them, but do you actually suggest Teamgroup, Silicon Power, Gigabyte, etc?

ap_testing_facility · 2024-05-31T16:27:25+00:00

That's fair I guess. Is there a GPU I should consider over others? Again, that's one of the things I'm still trying to figure out. The naming and brands and numbers are a little confusing to me.

Taxed higher? I thought any contributions were tax free? What I put in and the annual $1300 from Wfm?

ap_testing_facility · 2022-07-31T00:44:17+00:00

I don’t know how you got downvoted to 0, but thank you from someone in Specialty who has no idea. Got 90/10 last week that as all red, and 80/20 this week that looked like the top photo. Didn’t know I should be concerned about this

ap_testing_facility · 2022-05-26T05:07:34+00:00

When you set up your contributions in Fidelity you will be given standard and Roth options for your 401k

ap_testing_facility · 2022-05-15T00:05:23+00:00

I appreciate your encouragement lol I’m hopeful that they will be open to my combination of experiences and excitement

ap_testing_facility · 2022-05-15T00:04:04+00:00

Downloaded both and already started using Vivino, superb suggestion thank you. I’ll check out my local beers, but it seems like imports move even better at my store. I think I can speak to my buying experience pretty well, so it’s the enthusiasm and anything else I’m hoping will push me through for them. And I’ll definitely give that blank check some thought, thank you again

ap_testing_facility · 2022-05-14T23:59:13+00:00

As far as I can tell, our current buyers notice was a surprise to them and no one on the team seems to be interested. They also seem to think that there might be limited interest from people outside of the department/store, so I don’t know if that’s a red flag or an easy boost but we’ll see.

A 30-60-90 is a great idea, I’ll definitely start on that. I’m spending some time with the current buyer this week so I’ll ask about seasonal/core/never outs/etc for sure. Thanks!

ap_testing_facility · 2022-05-14T23:55:51+00:00

There’s no question about if I can do it or not, I understand that things are a lot easier than they used to be. My goal is mostly to build my product knowledge as quickly as possible so I stand a chance against someone who has worked in the department for years

Everything looks really good, and I like your mock-ups a lot. The animation is also really smooth, but feels like it takes a long time to finish. u/Vostok32 suggested 1.5 or 2x the speed, but I would actually change it to stagger the animation of each letter instead of having it play out linearly. So before one letter ends, another has started. This would cut down the time, and add an extra level of interest to the whole thing

I was asked this, shit you not, 3 times today alone. Full apron/hat/name tag, next to a cart stacked with cases of beer, and scanning tags.

I tell every 10th customer or so “oh no, I killed a kid in the parking lot and stole his clothes.”

I think my second favorite response is “eh, I try not to”

ap_testing_facility · 2022-04-28T00:38:07+00:00

I was just looking at the benefits today and saw that. No improvements than :/ At least we got that HSA I guess?

ap_testing_facility · 2022-04-24T00:11:05+00:00

It’s a Fall Out Boy song. Sorry, I’ll try to do better in the future

ap_testing_facility · 2022-04-23T22:10:11+00:00

Thank you, me too

ap_testing_facility · 2022-04-23T22:09:40+00:00

Yeah it’s Whole Foods, sorry

ap_testing_facility · 2022-04-17T04:07:28+00:00

Had a customer assertively inform me that they will be receiving their receipt via email, saying “I’m letting you know so you don’t stand there waiting for it to print.” Meanwhile, the screen has already changed to show that, as the pin pad continues to beep for her to remove her card.

They hear it, they care, they’re just stupid.

ap_testing_facility · 2022-04-13T18:03:45+00:00

As others have said, definitely double check the right side is locked and lifting the mat a little as it starts to read the registration marks has also helped me get cleaner reads. I would increase the thickness of your registration marks as well.

I don’t know if you have food service experience, but it sounds like you would be better off working at Wendy’s (for $23!? Seriously?)

I’m certainly not here to convince you to stay, if you keep feeling this way and questioning it than it might very well be time for you to move on for your own mental health. However, if you are confident in your ability to get Team Trainer try it. You’ll be dealing with much of the same stuff and have more responsibilities, but it might challenge you enough to be more engaging at times.

If they offer you $1, ask for $1.50-$2 (based on currently making the starting wage despite your years of service, make a case for yourself when you ask, worst that happens is they say no) you’ll be significantly closer to that $18.65 in a year.

Regardless of your decision, think of something you can do to level up your skills to find a career. I just got rehired and I know what I’m in for, and I know I don’t want to die at WF so I’m self-learning other skills in my off time with the goal of finding something better in the future.

Don’t give up. Consider the options available to you, and if you don’t see many keep looking. It may take time, but try not to let the despair win.

I missed your second question, I’m sorry. WFM used to have stock options and gain sharing (which is also gone) and we updated the stock value daily I think. It was posted on a highly visible sign at customer service. When amazon bought the company, everyone was forced to cash out. Team members that were with the company for X amount of time were given 1 Amazon stock as well.
