  2. Opinions on backlit signs with printers that print white

    We have been doing it for years with our HP FB500. Works great but the final product will never last as long as cut translucent vinyl. The other thing I like about the white on the FB500 is we can control the opacity of the white. We usually set it for 50% when graphics are lit with Florescent...

  4. Avery 1105/1360z + HP360 Latex ink = FAIL!

    Researching if anyone else is using the new Avery 1105 wrap film with the recommended 1360Z laminate and HP 360 latex ink. We are getting really bad adhesion of the laminate to the ink causing failures. We use a Seal Base 60 laminator with heat assist at a relatively slow speed of 2. Here's the...

  6. Business valuation

    Sorry to hear about the problems. This is a great topic for all of us as regardless of health all of our businesses will be sold or liquidated at some point in time. Most of us don't spend enough time planning for our exit strategy. This link will take you to a series of videos that I think...
  7. Making any money working for someone?

    Whether you're an owner or employee neither one is going to make much unless you have a great team. As a sole proprietor you may make more but as stated above more head ache and more risk. But then you're really just building a job. If you want to build a successful company it's going to take...

    It's pretty dry here so we installed a steam injection system to our HVAC to help keep the humidity up. We also run the HVAC fan continuously so we are always pulling air through the filters. Weekly janitorial service. and we use these high tac rollers as we laminate to pick up the dust...
  9. What's a wrap going for these days?

    We do a lot of wraps but mine always went to the bottom of the list because I'm not a paying customer (cobblers kids shoes). So some of the guys came in over the weekend last a couple of months ago and got it done. We used Avery Giovanni Edition Satin Pearl Cielo Blu with 3M carbon fiber and...
  10. What's a wrap going for these days?

    Ford Transit Wrap Last month we did a couple of 2015 transits at $3,500 each. You said you were doing a passenger van so if there is Perforated window film involved it would obviously be more expensive. We in general are in the $8.00/sf $11.00/sf installed. A fleet of Semi Trailers with FRP...

  13. HP 9000s Life Expectancy of Parts

    Our 9000 is 6 years old now. For the first few years I was really confused because nothing ever broke. I started getting worried and called HP and asked if there was anything I was supposed to do in addition to the daily maint. "Has the machine asked you to do something?" No I said. " it will...
