I hired a 3M certified installer one time... They stole my customer. I have never had any luck subbing any work out. That being said, I do quite a bit of install work for larger shops that aren't in my area and I think they do a lot of cold calling to find the shops willing to work. Once...

I would sell as is. If you put new heads and dampers in it, you likely wouldn't be able to recoup that cost alone. Trade schools around here have nicer stuff than most businesses so I wouldn't bother with that route either.

Hey everybody, I am looking for some input for an upcoming job that I have. I building some signs that will sit on a pedestal at a 45 degree angle (exterior) and was wondering what the longest lasting digital prints are. These signs are full color with a lot of info on them like what you would...

I try to let my work speak for itself, and try to be a pleasant person to deal with (which is a struggle for me) My good customers tend to get extras when they order stuff, and I have even done complete jobs for free. (rare) I'm either doing something very wrong or very right because I'm so...

I agree, I have been going 1-2 dollars an hour/per year. I obviously can't keep this up forever, but for now it is working.

Looks good considering. It really needs that bottom white to be red though.

I usually print gray, but is there a gray translucent/transparent option you could use for an overlay like a street sign?

Did you tell your accountant they are a wholesale company and not a subcontractor? You don't need to send them anything.

My old SP was never accurate enough for multiple passes. A 60 degree blade should be getting you there. A tech told me that the downforce would eventually weaken, but he didn't talk like it would be sudden.

More than likely you have something corrupt in your file itself. Try exporting something incredibly basic and see if it works.

Most of you guys are incredibly lucky that you have anyone deliver to you. I'm in a dead zone where Tubelite, Grimco, Glantz, etc all deliver within 50 miles of me but won't come to me, and truck freight is usually cost prohibitive for certain items. I have a local supplier that comes once a...

Make sure you are printing with a reflective profile. The profile will lay down less ink than your normal profiles. Also, blue is a tough reflective color in general. I also agree with the others, its probably fine.

I haven't taken one apart, but since the take up works independent of the printer with a limit switch, it should be as easy as putting power to it and making sure that switch is still intact. I'd love to have some extra parts for my XR, but I don't even know what they would be. My machine has...

I used Quality Logo Products for some Koozie brand koozies one time nearly a decade ago, and they turned out great. I didn't want el cheapo huggers, and it went well. That's not a normal product I offer, but I did it as a one time deal for a good customer. There are probably better places or...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone recognized this sign system? I would normally fab one up myself, but since there may be several, I was looking for a vendor. I found some similar, but not this one. Thanks in advance.
