A 10 second Google search for " how to make a decal" brings up thousands of videos and how to's that show exactly what you are looking for, hence my comparison. These types of decals really are the most basic style of decal you can do, heck you can go to Walmart and buy a machine to make these...

This is the equivalent of someone coming on a woodworking forum and asking if there is a product you can apply to 2 pieces of wood to make them stick together. This type of decal is the absolute most basic item we as a trade make.

If the manufacturer can't supply you with parts on a new machine, I would say they owe you a new machine. Spend $100 to have your lawyer write the dealer and the manufacturer a letter stating such. If they don't supply you with a working cutter they are in breach of contract to you.

for removable, the only product that works everytime is Phototex. For permanant, just use a good quality vinyl, either IJ180, or if cost is a concern IJ40c.

If you are masking the decals, mask doesn't like to stick to air release liners, so that's something to consider.

What is the market for these machines? I just got a customer looking for 1000 posters on paper 22"x32", I could buy the posters from an online wholesaler for 50% of my cost for the paper alone, when is it profitable to run an entire roll of posters? Am I missing something?

For that kind of money, have you considered a flatbed cutter like the Summa F1612 or Colex? We just got a 1612 and I'm blown away with how much time we save trimming prints, and how accurate it is!

We have some customers who have $25 invoices on terms, the people picking up the order don't always have a credit card they can use. I don't mind if they want me to bill them for $5, as long as they pay in the time they are given (net 15, net 30) I'm happy. If you do business with pretty much...

if you did not install the banner you don;t need to provide any proof of insurance. Sounds like they are trying to wear you out in hopes you give up and they don't need to pay you. Unless it's a construction company, they want proof of everything before they pay you, regardless of if you...

I just looked in our print room and IJ180 and IJ40c both have identical backer paper, it has dark blue writing and says Controltac. what you have there is 3M Ij35c, which is a super cheap calendared vinyl. I find it impressive that you managed to get it to wrap on a vehicle! but also...

Do a search on this forum, this topic comes up at least once a day. In short, the new Rolands are nowhere near the machines they once were.

table saw works well, but leaves little staticly charged chips that you will find around the shop for the next 3-4 years

That's awesome, I'm going to borrow this quote sometime.

Here are a few things you can try that will hopefully help eliminate or narrow down a few things. 1) use winplot to create the cut file, not your rip program, run the job again and cut from winplot, does this fix it? We had an issue when we installed our summa flatbed where the cuts were very...

This is the same issue we've run into, we find someone who does a great job, shows up on time etc. Then word gets out about how good they are and they start double booking themselves, missing installs, rushing things and we are back to square one again.

I had a sign installer come in a few years ago to drop off a card , he asked if we do logo design and gave us a brief overview of what he wanted. Our designer did a rough concept, I called him to come in and review it. He came in and asked if I could print it out so he could show his wife. Me...

Have you noticed inconsistencies in the finish after printing? I've brought some in a few years ago and the final product looked mottled.

Lol, we used to use the same installer apparently, his truck was broken more than it was working.

Something like this possibly?
