  1. Customer wet applied wrap material

    Add the cost of what you are doing to her next job. That is only fair. Your are not responsible for her wrap mistake. Where did she get the Rapid Tac? I too have had clients claim I did not tell them something, when I most certainly did, and then demanded free replacements for their mistakes...
  2. What's Your Experience with Large Vehicle Magnets?

    If they think that they will be able to use the magnetic on their next vehicle tell them that the size and configuration of the space on the new van will likely be different, thus they will need a new magnetic. If the magnetic is going on an older van check for paint oxidation. Magnetics, like...
  3. Suggestions Next Step up from Coroplast?

    This is where you have to sell the client on what is best for them. You did not say if these signs were permanent or promotional. If these signs are going to hang you need some weight that none of the foam boards will provide. If these are in a warehouse the air currents will make them wave...
  4. Versaworks Error "The printer and ink type detected differ" Roland SP-540V

    Several questions. a. Are you using Roland brand inks? b. Have you tried other files? Could the file have some sort of spot color that confuses the RIP? c. Are you using Flexi? Try sending something through the Flexi RIP. d. Tedious, but have you checked the setting of the p[rinter on the...
  5. Milk Truck Lettering

    My Fellers rep came in day before yesterday and showed me a sample of 3M - IJ180-10SLS which is designed for application to stainless steel. Serendipity like this has got to be investigated.
  6. Help me get organized!

    TRELLO - Questions for those who use it. I too have used it but deciding on what categories to have has been difficult. What categories do you have/use? What information do you keep on the cards? Are there particular add-ins you found effective and have put on your Trello? What about...
  7. Discussion Police car graphics gone bad

    How many vehicles are affected like this? Do they all look similar? Why isn't the department going back to the original shop under a warranty? Police usually want reflective. Why not here? Is the other shop new? How long have they been around? If they have definitely lost the business, go...
  8. 3M IJ-175 We're Lovin It!

    What is the different between IJ180 and IJ175, other than the color of the adhesive?
  9. Emails continually get bounced back from one customer

    Put "Nigerian Princess Needs Your Help" in the subject line. Those emails always get through

  11. Which X-Rite i1 Models Are Compatible With VersaWorks?

    Getting the eye-one calibrated would probably cost more than a new device. I have tried the printing the chart at 110% - - didn't work. I am to the point where i am considering purchasing a new device. Most of the devices shown in the device list of Versaworks are EXPENSIVE. Is there an...
  12. Which X-Rite i1 Models Are Compatible With VersaWorks?

    I have an older Eye-One device. The software is from 2005 to give you an idea. of its age. I am trying to make media profiles through VersaWorks and VersaWorks Dual but have been unsuccessful. I get through printing the colors chips and even calibrating the device but when it comes to...
  13. SignCraft Pricing Guide...Accurate?

    so the prices in the "official guide" are high. you quote a lower price and when the clients say... wait for it..."give me a discount" you can pull out the guide and say "see, here is what i should be charging.. i have already given you a discount." and the sale is made
  14. Paying to Play

    We has a client that tried to implement this "vendor pays" system a few years ago. The management of their AP was overseas. Ultimately most of the client vendors flagged out of the pay for play system because the AP management company wanted a large flat fee regardless of how much business you...
