    Really? Have you gone through Lowen, 3M, Oracal, or any of the other cert programs? Just curious.
  2. Vehicle installation pricing

    LOL "own kid's educations, community improvements." Some people educate their own offspring and the vast majority of local taxes that "improve community" are sucked up by government employees and unions inefficiently handling projects. I'm not too concerned about government getting it's "fair...

  8. Avery Failures Return

    Ok, I pointed out that this was a discussion about Cast Wrap Vinyl in this "Wrap" forum and you made a blanket statement that Avery now topcoats their products and you can't laminate them. That statement is FALSE if it only applies to ONE product that isn't even applicable to this Forum or...
  9. Avery Failures Return

    You can make it right by going into your statement and "Edit" it and add the corrections so we all know what you are talking about.
  10. Avery Failures Return

    Dude, here's the problem, Your statement was....Quote: "Just remember that Avery is now top coating their materials and you cannot laminate them anymore." • You didn't specify what film it was, you just said "their materials" plural. • You stated you "cannot laminate them anymore" referring to...
  11. Avery Failures Return

    Whoa! I didn't accuse you of anything. I asked "Are you sure" of your claims...and was giving you a heads up on the power of your claims and what could happen if they weren't true. Especially since this forum is crawling with reps and very active customer bases of the very products under...
  12. Avery Failures Return

    Even if I didn't like a product, I wouldn't make fact statements about their production unless it was true. Are you sure it is a fact that: A) they are topcoating and B) you can't laminate anymore? Those are 2 claims I'd be nervous about making, especially if people can state online in...

    If she's on your property using your computers (also your property) you can search them for files that aren't your clients'. You can do this either when she's not there if you want. There is no expectation of privacy when she's using your computers on your time.

  16. Lam Separated From Vinyl, Again

    I think if you wanna be technical...sure however I think one includes the other. When you increase the ink saturation, you need more passes, thus more passes is similar to saying more ink. You got my drift though.
  17. Looking to purchase new setup

    As a contracted installer...you probably are getting a majority of your prints from a few sources. Over an inch or two off on registration is probably because it was calendered vinyl. Think about the backer...it it shrunk that much in the curing process of the latex printer, did the backer...
  18. Starting my own Business, Would like help naming.

    In this day and age, you need to focus on the Name being VERY search engine friendly. Short and easy to remember with a lot of relevance to your industry. A good rule of thumb, since you'll be a local service provider, include the city or region in the name as well as what you do (graphics...
  19. Lam Separated From Vinyl, Again

    Increase in passes lays down more ink, thus having more of the liquid that is causing the problem. I don't think the dwell time is the issue, but the ink levels may be. If it were as simple as changing a heat setting, HP would send out new profiles or advise on different heat settings. . . I...
  20. Lam Separated From Vinyl, Again

    This is a known issue. I just posted a thread on this same issue happening with Avery. Thread below Lam Separated From Vinyl, Again The problem lies in the scratch resistance fluid that rises to the top of the latex ink during curing that creates a barrier preventing full adhesion. It's across...
