As far as the pot thing goes, I don't partake anymore, but the wife has MS and uses it. That disease is mainly "treating symptoms", and it helps with some of the stuff that conventional meds don't work for, and there's a lot of meds she can't take anymore because they were taking their toll on...

From the limited experience I've had with latex, temp and/ or cure time. Try running more passes, it'll print slower, but give the heat more time to cure it. Make sure your temps are high enough, but don't go overboard or you'll create other issues with messing up the adhesive and warping media...

Never heard of it either. First thing that would scare me off is there's nothing about expected life or vinyl type on Amazon, looked up V2's website, nothing there either. Is it a one year vinyl, a 5 year, 7 year, a craft vinyl they're passing off as automotive grade? Is it cast, calendared, or...

Plus one for the RGI products Todd Jelle recommended. https://realgoldinc.myshopify.com/

I'm with Burton, if it's interior, talk em' into a monitor or tv, you can use a USB stick for whatever you want on the screen to make them fully self contained. They'll do so much more than rigging up lights and a controller, and you can change or edit whatever you send to the screen, any time...

Just request what they're providing up front for new customers, or those you have had issues with. Bigger jobs are less problematic, more flexible, it's the little jobs for small businesses, individuals, etc, that usually don't understand what's needed for printing, who designed it in some off...

You only need 3 or 4 more descriptive words, and it could be a product description on Amazon :toasting:

You can't always get what you need up front when they're just shopping around, but they usually want some sort of pricing to make sure it's within their budget. On a big project, a little design time is a negligible difference, on smaller projects, having to up-charge because artwork isn't...

We must be finally catching up to the rest of the world. Amazon building a distro ctr a few miles from the shop, they're so anxious to get it operating that as soon as some of the land is prepped they said they'll be setting up massive tents to operate out of till the building is constructed...

Asking for artwork before even giving a quote is the best approach, something we always push for. That way you know what you have to work with, determine if they even have artwork that's usable, or not, quote accordingly for any design time, and give an accurate price. Requesting it right up...

OK, so I did this (upper) in just a few minutes, so it's rough. Just draw one candy cane, keep duplicating it, and fit the pattern & how they're stacked. When you have all the candy canes laid, group them and apply an outer glow in red to the group. Add the text, and yer' golden. The canes are...

Agree... I'll use Vvivid's architectural films, textured leather, woodgrains, etc, the stuff few companies offer. And it's cheaper than Ni-Doc for the more budget jobs. It's great for small/ oddball jobs or accents, but they'd never be my go-to for anything large or full wraps.

Just get a scarier looking dog than mine....

Solvent and Ecosol inks use a glycol base, so they shouldn't freeze, but the TrueVis inks eliminate a lot of harmful chemicals, so I don't know if they will, or if it'll cause them to become unusable. However, inks can crystalize when frozen, and be subject to condensation forming in the bags...

True, but all I did was a quick search and grabbed the first one I found, I'm sure there are many options cheaper. I got squirreled because I liked the holder rather than a decal, I distract easily...

You could go with media holders like these. Easier to change out than decals. I know there's all kinds of these on the market, this was just a quick search/ first thing that popped up. Used to use something similar back when I was doing displays, but they were black acrylic...

Here the shop is separated, but there's just a partial wall between the reception area and the graphics area & offices. We get very little off the street business, but when people show up, there's no receptionist, so they usually just wander into the graphics area, unless the dogs greet them at...

You got lucky in the past, not allowing paint to fully cure is just asking for issues. With the way paints are getting formulated for easy clean-ability, vinyls are having a harder time sticking to them even when fully cured. A std non-PVC calendared like 48C will shrink more, and quicker than...

They probably came back in desperation because every other shop they contacted told them the same thing you did, or passed on it for the same reasons. As set in their ways as they seem, it's a no-brainer to figure out why the development is such a permit nightmare.

Besides fence boards not being very solid, looking at the gaps between the boards on the fence, the private lot behind it is gonna get a lot of streaks of light shining through using halo's. Don't know if that'll be an issue, but something else to consider. Putting another structure in front of...
