RTFM. "Read That Fine Manual" It is clearly recommended and from many years in the electronics industry I also strongly recommend it. You would be amazed at how "dirty" AC mains power is in most parts of the country. Surges, Sags and Spikes occur constantly. We don't think much about it...

Smart move on the surge protector. We did the same.

We use Google Apps for Business. It costs $50.00 per email account per year. We use our own domain name for email. I.e. unknown.user@hicalibersigns.com. Nothing unprofessional looking about it. In fact there is no way for a recipient to know that it is gmail. I tried hosted Exchnge, and it...

Wish I had 1/4 that talent. Nice.

I have used a mix of Microsoft Office through the latest and greatest along with Open Office for several years. The only real compatibility issues I have experienced have been with Power Point. Not even kind of compatible with Open Offices version. Probably not an issue for most sign making...

Being one that also enjoys a dram now and again I can't tell you how much I would love to receive something like that! Very Cool!

Avery 1005 is all we use. Set up with HP's media finder like Coloradosigns. Haven't had any issues.

We have had ours for 7 months. Grimco rep was by a few days ago and lowered all of the max temps on our profiles by 10%. Said they found that they were all set slightly too high. We have not noticed any adverse affects. Turn it down a bit.

Pretty difficult to say without seeing the image. We just did one for a customer where we took an image of the same size (11" x17") at 256 dpi and enlarged it to ~45'. I don't remember the other dimension, because we cropped it to 12 feet since that was the height of the wall. Up close it was...

I think it is best to make a fair increase and do it infrequently. Everyone knows everything goes up, but it leaves a bad taste in peoples mouths when it seems that you have gone up every time they make a purchase from you. We apply a standard mark up to materials, so it somewhat takes care of...

Take it All Off

I DID get the HP. No regrets whatsoever.

Great advice. On today's cars you are likely to lose paint. Be sure the customer knows you are not responsible. I will also add that the only way we do this in our shop (we have several fleet customers, so it is just part of the gig) is on a time and materials basis unless it was our wrap in...

Just a suggestion. Grimco told us that no surge suppression was necessary, but if you RTFM (read that fine manual) that comes with the machine they say you do need it. So, having a background in electrical engineering I opted to have surge suppressed outlets installed for ours. It cost a...

Same here. Everything we have done is ready to roll right off the printer.

We got ours in April. We have done a number of wraps using Avery 1005 including a racing Bike. No problems. We have picked up a couple of fleet jobs and are working those now. No issues so far. Yep. User replaceable. We had one go out, the printer display panel told us it was under...

Very interesting. We are relatively new to this. We have been laminating perf for vehicles. Fading here in Texas is definitely an issue. I see so many vehicles that have been wrapped that look pretty good except for the unlaminated perf. It is so faded that it is hard to tell that it was...
