    you can perf cut with some plotters, we perf cut on our graphtec. I believe summa has a perf cut feature also
  2. Can you use a flatbed without A/C or heat

    Our CET hates any climate change, we have gotten to the point that our print room is heated/ AC and humidity controlled to try and keep it printing halfway decent day in and day out... Seems like most others don't seem to have a problem with the flatbeds they have, so maybe just don't buy CET
  3. Is this possible???

    I would print it on 3m IJ180mC-114, Clear printable wrap material and print a white base under the image and use a halftone to fade to the trailers paint color. Plenty of wholesale printers who can print white ink could handle the printing for you and you could give your client what they are...

  6. Random Next Day Bubbles

    If you mounted the print to a board the air channels were "crushed" as they do when applied to get even adhesion to the board so it makes sense that the air release isn't working anymore.

  10. Printer recommendation. Not VG540

    The small company. I feel like turn over on staff would be less so you will most likely be dealing with the same people all the time. They will know you more personally and know your past issues better. my $.02
  11. Printer recommendation. Not VG540

    Depends what you consider "A lot". People say you need to load it to the take up to start and thats simply not true, we run the lead edge just past the heater and go, its maybe 12" of lead edge waste. If your vacuum settings are good head strikes aren't an issues... its when people have the vac...

  17. How to return Roland Printer

    We had a similar issue with the same company. We bought a refurbished printer as a secondary unit just to run banners and yard signs on and it was terrible. They couldn't get it "up and running" and after months of back and forth they said "Nothing we can do". we fought and fought until the...

    We charge by the hour at the same as our install rate. Typically we call the client after an hour or so when we have a better idea how it is going and give them a more accurate estimate, they can decide at that point if they want us to keep going or not.
