  9. Question Graphtec FC 8600 what is the maximum length I can cut? Can I run a job at 123"?

    Agree. Would not even waste the time running that back through a plotter. Grab a xacto knife and be done with it in ten minutes. You do not have to worry about a contour cut being off and ruining your print as well.
  10. Need Help micro sprint wrap

    Racers will always spend whatever it takes to make a car go fast but they usually will not pay good money for the most important part of the car, and that is advertising for their sponsors. $550 for a wrap on a midget isn't bad. Around us full bodied late models are printed and laminated for...
  11. File Management

    Has anyone else had any trouble with files getting corrupted from working remotely? We have had it happen a few times.
  12. Are you noticing vendors going direct?

    It is coming. You can buy a Goodman house furnace direct. Hanging heaters don't really count but you can buy those anywhere and everyone runs there own gas line and venting which is usually not done correctly.
  13. How do you structure your pricing for vehicle magnets?

    Close graphix45, 25 years ago it was $150- $175.00 to hand lettered 2 doors using a couple colors with $1.50 worth of paint and materials. If we broke out the airbrush... "boom" it went to $250.00. These days we have more costs with less profit. Gotta love the sign business!!!
  14. Car magnets falling off when cold?

    The metal is just too thin and recycled now days which makes it difficult for magnets to stay on. We haven't sold magnetics for years. Talk your customer into just doing graphics on the trucks or tell them they can just buy more everytime they fall off. If it was a 1985 van you would not see...
  15. Issues with 3m 180mc

    So straight up.... how does the 1105 with laminate actually hold up? The warranty is not impressive, however I am thinking Avery is at least being honest. I know they had trouble a while back with material but they did admit there was an issue. Does it tunnel back around rivets? Does it stay...
  16. Issues with 3m 180mc

    Said it before and I will say it again. Throw it all away and get 175Cv3 if you want to continue to use 3M. 3M changed something and will not admit to it at all. Been down the banding road with roll after roll of 180 from all different vendors. You should have seen the look on the 3M Reps...
  17. Been using this for a long long time...........................

    Near as I can figure the discoloration is caused by the heat generated by the wheel. This happens very often on white and other light colors. We do not use a Zapper on white at all anymore. We do it the hard way to avoid damaging the paint. Had a customer once who did not listen to us. He...
  18. Need Help Contour Cut with singlab 10

    One way to do it that is pretty quick. Take your photo. With the shape tool draw a shape over the area you want to Contour Cut. (I usually draw a quick square). Select the square and Click Arrange-Convert to Polygon. Double click and edit the nodes to the exact shape you want cut out. After...
  19. Need Help SEMI truck 53 feet- How much should i charge it?

    Exactly. This makes a big difference in installation time which is important when you are in a competitive market. Also, please clarify what you are saying about a "full semi wrap" being $15000. Are you doing the semi truck also? If so that would make more sense but if you are talking about just...
