  1. Roll to Roll Label printer/cutter

    If you only have a few clients that require it, I would outsource the roll labels to somewhere like Stouse, while you continue to market to other clients, once you get to the point where its economically feasible, look into getting a roll label printer. I looked into this about a year ago...
  2. Marking, scratching on printed vinyl.

    Laminate it.
  3. NOW HIRING ISSUE

    Are you suggesting that people should only make enough to cover their base expenses? What about saving for retirement, home ownership etc? I'm not sure what it's like where you are, but here wages haven't kept up with inflation for at least the last 10 years. If you don't currently own a...
  4. Painting Alumalite

    It would take less time to flood the background with a good 2 mil cast vinyl then it would to drive the sheet over to the paint shop.
  5. Work burnout

    Good call on rasing prices, and make sure if they are coming to see you they don't expect you to stop and chat with them for 2 hours, we used to get a few of those, came in to order a $20 engraved plate for their annual fishing trophy, ended up talking my ear off for an hour on drop-off, and...
  6. Roll to Roll Label printer/cutter

    what is your anticipated quantity?
  7. Shopping for new printer

    All eco solvent and UV printers require maintenance to keep them running properly, the newer ones are more self-maintaining though. Our Epson S80600 only needs a manual cleaning about once a month at most. latex printers have the advantage of not needing to be cleaned and they can sit unused...
  8. Need Help Epson UltraChrome

    I bought some from TG graphics in Toronto, but that was 2 weeks ago, but it might be worth calling them. I'm surprised there are no 3rd party inks for this machine. I would switch over now that we are out of warranty.
  9. Suggestions Wrapping Flat Trailers & Box trucks

    I price both and explain the difference to the client and let them choose, they usually choose the less expensive option.
  10. Work burnout

    start letting clients know that moving forward your standard lead time for this type of project is xx number of days, anything that is needed before that time will either be refused or charged a rush fee. It's amazing how many clients who are adamant that their project needs to be completed by...
  11. Online bid sites

    Hey Pat, I've not heard of Merx before, but it sounds similar to the ones I've seen. I just recently had a private company we do a tiny amount of work for ( about $150 a year) send us a notice that they have switched to a service for processing invoices and we would now need to pay an annual...
  12. Online bid sites

    That has been my experience as well.
  13. Die cutting on FC9000

    This is true! We've had ours for almost a year now and I can't tell you the last time I picked up one of my big purple rulers! My cutting tables are now nothing more than a flat surface to dump cr@p on when I don't know where else to put it!
  14. Problem with paint and letters...

    I would let the past dry then sand it down to the original paint and try again. Usually spray paint has a warning on the can that you need to recoat within 1 hour or after 24 hours for this reason.
  15. Online bid sites

    I wanted to gauge everyone's thoughts on companies and government bodies switching their bids and tenders to a third party service that charges an annual fee to access/bid on them. We've noticed more and more recently that clients are switching to these sites and now require a paid membership...
  16. Problem with paint and letters...

    Did you scuff the letters before you painted them?
  17. long lasting print on coroplast

    The 10mm thick coroplast with a full coverage vinyl print will get you close to where you need to be.
  18. Canon Colorado 1650 Question

    Would a strategically placed piece of foam tape solve this?
  19. Applying Vinyl Graphics to vehicles w/Ceramic Coating on Paint

    People pay thousands of dollars to have that stuff put on their cars, I would kick it back to the client to look after it or you could be on the hook for redoing it if something goes wrong.
  20. The Vaccine - you going to take it or no?

    Where are the stories of all the tens of thousands of people involved in the clinical trials for the vaccines dropping dead? They've been vaccinated for about 8 months now, I'm sure if thousands of them started dropping dead there would be some mention of that somewhere no? Or is it all a MSM...
