Wow, I don't do wraps and I'm not even in the same country, but this does seem like a conflict of interest for sure.

Never used a summa, but we do quite a bit of perf cutting on our graphtec fc8600 and it works well. Use a 60 degree blade for the perf, we bought a second blade holder to do perf cutting with, makes it nice and quick. Keep in mind that perf cutting is about 1/3 the speed of normal cutting, so...

Can you post up an example of the type of shapes you are trying to cut? the complexity of the cut would dictate the method used.

Try running the job as a print/cut job with crop marks, as if you were going to laminate, but don't remove the material from the machine, but have it read the marks before cutting, is there any change? How about if you do remove it from the machine and reload? All of these processes use...

All the vinyl I've seen for carpets has been for very low pile commercial carpet, I can't see any vinyl working for high pile carpet, not because of the adhesive, but because of the movement when someone steps on it causing it to rip. General Formulations sells a product specifically for...

Glad it worked for you. I just got an email that all graphics supplies has been bought out by Spicer's, not sure what the implications are but might want to call and find out if they will carry this moving forward.

I've never used it as I don't have a latex or UV printer, but I remember my sales rep talking about it

Have you tried the synthetic paper from all graphics? It seems to tick all your boxes. https://www.allgraphicsupplies.com/latex-printable-specialty-media/rite-media-synthetic-paper-10mil-54in-x-200ft-rm-sp10-54200

the printed and stand are separate, if they won't fit through assembled, then you will need to take them apart. The machine is a beast, heavy and long.

We've had great luck with general formulations 6.mil semi-rigid vinyl, it prints and weeds great, and is thick enough to not go soft even with full ink coverage.

We had an issue with the 1 and only roll of 480 we used, after applying the vinyl to a sprinter, we found that the laminate comes off the printed vinyl extremely easily, taking 99% of the ink with it. 3M took samples and after chasing them for an answer were told it was "most likely a bad...

The chinese machines all have horrible reviews, like i said earlier, these machines all need lots of maintenance, if you are set on getting into this, get a machine with some local service techs you can call.

I look into buying one of these every few years and I always decide against it, my research has taught me that these machines need to either be running all the time, or the maintenance gets expensive. also the logo jet machines don't have the best track record with reliability. The Roland...

For a small banner like you discribed where I needed to do layout work, yes I would. Now, I might not get the job, but I wouldn't care because that is the price I need to make money. Banners are pretty much the cheapest type of sign you can make, and there is a race to the bottom with sign...

Your charges are about half of what they should be.

We do a ton of Gemini plaques, we usually mark them up by the suggested 40%, then add the shipping cost. On a separate line item we charge for any design or installation work.

Since we all get the same comments when we are doing installs in the field, I would go with: " Yes it's level No I didn't spell it wrong Keep walking"

I get awesome blacks just using RGB black in Corel draw, as for reds, we use the red inks in our s80 with no issues. I printed an orange and red swatch almost 2 years ago and stuck them on our south facing back door, the fading is almost non existent when compared to the originals I've kept...

I didn't know anyone ever bought more than 1 roll of kraft paper ever, by the time you get through a 500' roll of kraft paper you have 500' of release liner saved up...

Epson says 6 hours, I've gone as little as 1 when needed with no issues at all
