Loved this tour Gene, thanks for sharing. Pretty cool seeing the combination of serious firepower and simple systems & improvements in action. Are you guys looking at misters for your humidity control? I remember seeing that in a big local screenprint shop and always thought it was a pretty...

I actually thought the same thing about setting up a Canadian version of Firesprint, but honestly don't think I could ever come close to filling Gene's shoes. I don't know how you have the energy to do everything that you do but I definitely admire it. I aspire to run my company as smoothly...

Correct.

Extending expiration dates sure would be nice. I've thrown out more ink on this machine than any other printer I've owned. Guess I should get on it and keep that thing busy(er), but still not fun throwing money out throughout the year.

Nothing else here, that's the only thing we use it for.

We use 13oz GB PET...ultraflex and most manufacturers make some sort of version of it. Nice and smooth, blockout, doesn't curl and doesn't fray because it's PET and not PVC/scrim.

This. For new requests, find a good/better/best option and stock a couple of those, keep templates saved somewhere handy to send to customers. (They still won't use them, or understand bleed/safe area/leader on the bottom) For replacements, we tell customers to drop them off then base...

Yeah, I know. I dug around a bit after my post and was actually pretty impressed by the library of files and how well it's documented. Guess they chose function over form.

You mean you can't see the site that I could've designed in my elementary computer class...?

We've always gone with the 6+ color options in the past, but recently added a 4 color Epson S60600. The increased print speed far outweighs the increased color gamut as far as I'm concerned. I don't think we'll go back to anything more than a 4 color unless it's a configuration that isn't...

It's also a good idea to keep an eye out for the spambots that seem to infiltrate this forum on an hourly basis. How long have you been in the "sign business" exactly?

We have a winner! This made me laugh, thanks. Sad but true sometimes.

Fuck off, spambot.

Agreed on all fronts. Slapping it up and not actually getting measurements (and documenting them) is just sloppy workmanship. I don't care how good your "eye" is. Yes, I can paste up graphics by eye-balling it and probably be 90% there, but I sure as hell aren't just calling that good enough...

Really??? What kind of magnets do you like to use on new Ford trucks....? Smartass comments aside, I get what you're saying but having some kind of reference that can be duplicated on the other side/other vehicles is pretty important, IMHO.

It's definitely a frustrating machine when things aren't working.....(which happens more than I think they should anyways) When things are dialed in and humming along it's a great machine. Currently battling with GoProduce always insisting on defaulting to ACM as the material whenever it...

Similar request the other day, not much in terms of suggestions though: https://www.signs101.com/threads/16ft-wide-dyesub-printed-fabric-vendor.178338/

Will have to try this. There is ammonia in RapidTac 2 isn't there? I wonder if that is the magic ingredient.
