  1. S40600 ink drop

    I've found 99% of drips are caused by something like a hair stuck to the print head that is acting like a wick, have you taken a flashlight to look around the head? Try that and clean it with a swab and cleaning fluid.
  2. Anyone using a Colex and Onyx?

    While it's great that Onyx has identified the issue, it still sucks that onyx will not retroactively fix this for older versions of their software, even for the last 1-2 versions would be good. Instead, they identify that they had an issue, then want $2500 to upgrade to fix it. I sometimes...
  3. Bezos Flight

    I saw this, it was literally a di*k measuring contest amongst people with far too much money at their disposal. If you can afford to build your own rocket and fly into space, you shouldn't be able to loophole your way out of paying your personal and corporate income taxes.
  4. Question Upgrade for Epson S80600

    Look into the s60600 it is dual cmyk (no orange, red or light colours) but it's lightning fast and can produce the output you are looking for.
  5. Opportunity for new business...need advice please

    What have your experience been of the race cars you do letter or have in the past? Is it profitable for you? I know personally my experience has been less than ideal, race car drivers are usually looking for you to sponsor them in lieu of payment (think of all the exposure!!) It's also very...
  6. Attaching PVC Cut letters to Brick

    I've used VHB tape on 0.5" thick PVC letters to attach to painted drywall many times, never had an issue, should I be laying awake at night?
  7. Static cling removal

    Save this picture and show it to potential clients when they tell you they can buy it online for less. Vista print won't do anything as they didn't install it, looks like the customer is on the hook for a new glass insert for their front door, but at least they saved $50 on the cling!
  8. Laminates for Orajet 3651?

    The arlon 3420 is a great laminate, you won't have any issues mixing it with the 3651. The rule of thumb is you can mix calendered lam with calendered vinyl, and cast with cast, I always check to make sure both products are a similar lifespan, there are some low cost calendered laminates that...
  9. Epson Edge Dashboard & Deleting/Moving a Media Setting to a different number?

    I've wondered this myself for years, if anyone knows I'm all ears!
  10. Advise on horrible customer

    I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if 1 client without a contract made up 50% of my revenue! Be firm but fair with him, lay out what your expectations are from him, and what he can expect from you, explain what they can do to speed up production (set up files for you properly, approvals...
  11. Yard signs

    I would love more info on this! Our F1612 runs GoProduce 2.0 and I can;t figure out how to do this
  12. UPS vs. FedEx?

    I normally use UPS or Canpar, I've had issues with both, but you can't expect a courier not to mess something up from time to time. I have found if you spend a couple extra dollars on the insurance your chances of the package arriving on time without damage is 10x higher, they don't want to pay...
  13. Need Help Where can I find Satin Cold Laminate?

    Some manufacturers call it satin, others call it lustre, all the vinyl manufacturers have it, 3M, oracal, Avery etc.
  14. Yard signs

    Summa has a plug-in for illustrator and Corel draw that adds crop marks to your file so the rip doesn't need to add them, By default it puts the marks pretty far outside the print area, but you can manually move them. I've asked summa about adding an option to place the crop marks inside the...
  15. Yard signs

    That customer would have a fit at home depot when he measured his 2x4....
  16. Contour Cutting

    I've never heard of that brand, but considering the whole unit costs less than the optical eye assembly on my graphtec I wouldn't expect much from this machine.
  17. Installation rate vs man hours

    We charge our standard rate for the first installer, then a bit less for each additional installer, in your case with2 installers you would charge $60/hr for yourself plus $45/hr for your helper. Also have you sat down and figured out your true shop rate yet? Unless you are working out of your...
  18. Window breakage perforated

    I have heard of solid black vinyl causing windows to crack in extremely hot climates, but it is usually because either a crack or stress already existed in the glass and the heat from the vinyl sped up the issue. I can't see it happening with perf as the window is only 50-70% covered and you...
  19. Constitutional Carry in TX

    Similar to when cannabis became legal up here, some people thought you would start seeing people stoned all over the place, impared driving would go through the roof etc. Turns out nothing changed, people that used to smoke still.do, those that didn't still don't and the government makes a ton...
  20. Need Help Vinyl Failure Detectives needed!

    What role did you play in the original job? you didn't install it, and I assume you didn't print it since you don't know if it was laminated or not.
