yikes! Yeah we may just be lucky. in our town he's fast and way too cheap. But our stitching jobs are always small and easy so that helps. Even 30 ft banner is like 10 mins of work for them
Does anyone have any experience with the new Roland Flatbed? I am considering upgrading our HP700 to a Roland with white ink and gloss finish.
I'm particularly interested in printing directly to ACM without laminating.
I say design is $45 per half hour at the beginning of the job. If the proofs and back and forths start adding up I note the design time that we're at so far in the job. That usually pushes them to get things a little more organized.
I don't really charge it or mention it to larger clients, but...
Steel Composite panel with flatbed printing is how we do it. Simple enough to test if it works with vinyl/lam on the steel. I think it will.
The SCM comes with a dry erase side which is why we often flatbed currently.
I'd say either pin mount individual pieces of white acrylic on there, or use a full piece of clear acrylic with vinyl in front cut to shape. I don't think this one is as hard as the lit one
Stay strong out there Hulk. Honestly threads like this are good for the forum. Getting a 50,000-100,000 lemon with nobody to fix it is a big deal.
Hope they get back to you.
I'm surprised, i feel like I end up doing 1-2 rushes per day. We do lots of $100-$500 coroplast and ACP signs that end up making money, but it is a pain for the staff.
What timelines do you guys give for your average non-install project? 3-days?
Do you charge them?
I just had a problem go away when i said we had a $50 rush fee for someone's 'urgent' 12" x 18" sign. It has me thinking i should do more of them. Do people here charge them? and just to annoying customers or even to your good clients?
I'd say just try and do your own installs if possible. I don't know many small shops that succeed without installers. I'm sure there are people on this forum that disagree!
