  1. Not sure how to go about this................................ ??

    Welcome to dealing with canada, where everything needs french, and no one speaks it. We deal with this all the time... Customers "need" the french and ask us to translate it. We usually just send it to a paid translator and make them eat the cost. We have 6 people in our office who speak...
  2. News Two-step verification

    I'm the complete opposite. I have every credit card / debit card on my phone that accepts it. If someone steals your number and charges stuff... You call in, spend 5 mins on the phone with their security team, they overnight you a new card and void all the charges. Everything is legally...
  3. laminate or not

    Most shops online are selling cheap, crappy chinese vinyl that peels off and doesnt last longer than a few months to a year. You'll notice most shops selling these things are new - Because they keep shutting down and starting over, or just outright going out of business. You can make a quick...

    What material do you plan on printing these on?
  5. canon colorado 1650 ink consumption

    I mean, he said he's "thinking of purchasing", so My guess is he wants to compare ink consumption of a 1650 VS what hes paying for his current machine.... I wouldnt trust a random colorado rep to tell me accurate pricing either :roflmao:

    Late to the party! But 2FA is the best. I enable it everywhere - Everyone at work needs it to login to E-mails. It only triggers if you log out - So people at work get hit by it once a month, during a forced log out. one of our sales reps put her password into a phising site... which she...
  7. Mimaki UV vs HP Latex

    hows thr white on the UV printer? I saw some samples when we bought our latex, and it was very see through and slightly yellowish - We dont print white much, so it didnt bother us, but a lot of people say how much better latex white is over any other white... and seeing those examples I could...
  8. New drying/offgassing box

    https://www.arlon.com/eu_en/support/tips-and-tricks/34-outgassing-and-installing-arlon-print-media-eu-en It still amazes me that every single vinyl manufacturer spreads myths about offgassing. You'd think one would be smart, sell their product as "no offgassing required" and rake in the...
  9. LOOKING FOR MULTICAM WORKER.

    why not a woman?!
  10. What would you pay? What employees are worth.

    It goes both ways too. We have a manager who insists on screen printing everything. 20 real estate name decals? Screen print.... So we have to print film, burn a screen, print 20 decals, wash the screen, recost the screen ... With roll to roll printers by the time the film is printed, all...
  11. What would you pay? What employees are worth.

    One of the best workers I've ever had is a 57 year old guy who used to be a manager, but came to work for us as our print operator. He never takes a break, works his ass off... Runs 3 printers and a flatbed and roll laminator all at once by himself. He probably outputs twice as much as any...
  12. hp 700 vs epson r5070 yearly expenses and recommendations

    Yes. It prints on anything a latex can. It's not certified because it's a long process and their first gen of resin, but I've never had an issue printing on anything we print on with our latexs.
  13. Old flatbed

    Nope, the q5 is dual channel heads. I just replaced ours last week - super simple, 3 screws, swap over the hoses and that's it. Took 15 mins for the first.... 2 mins for the second afterni knew I wasn't going to break it. Then alignment which took an hourish to get perfect.

  15. What would you pay? What employees are worth.

    As everyone can see, labor rates vary by state... Let alone country :roflmao: There's way too many variables, including that of the employee. We start employees at a fair / market rate. Then the good employees move on up fast, while the useless ones get cost of living raises and nothing...
  16. Old flatbed

    We have a CET Q5 (Paid 20K For it, in good working condition... We looked it up and the next closest in price was 45-50k, so it was a steal) - It started with 4 heads, 2 werent that great...ran it for a few years, all on original heads - finally we decided to upgrade, bought 2 heads and just...
  17. Fellers ordering anxiety

    In canada they do by the yard for most of their common colors, but not everything - No idea about the US... US Grimco and Canadian Grimco are vastly different
  18. Old flatbed

    You only need 2 heads. With 2 heads you can print a 4x8 in 12 mins... Not the fastest but pretty good. Heads are 3.5k each, and easily user replaceable. If all that's wrong with the machine is heads... You could buy heads for 7k, out then in yourself and sell it for 15-20k easily... A lot...
  19. Fellers ordering anxiety

    Grimco is the best in Canada. Accurate online Inventory, delivery dates for everything .. so if the local warehouse doesn't have it, you'll know how long it takes. No kissing up tomorrow for better deals - doesn't matter if you're a million dollar a year or a $500 a year account... It's all...
  20. Anybody use 3m HIP 100yd rolls?

    A 100 yard roll will fit, but it's going to be really heavy and I wouldn't want to do it! I'd rather pay a premium and buy it non direct from a.thirdnparty supplier then handle one of those. :roflmao: Curious what you guys pay for 3m direct - if anyone wants to swap numbers in pm, shoot me a...
