  1. cloud -ish print on foamboard

    I’d check your head height if this is the same file used for the other processes. At first glance it looks like a poorly edited image.
  2. Rush Fees

    Simple answer for me. Yes! We have our projects scheduled and when someone needs a “rush” we now have to interrupt our work flow. I love the ones that are a “rush”, you charge the fee and they still don’t pick it up for a week! ‍♂️
  3. Overlaminate attracting dirt and grime

    Have you had this problem in the past? If not, check your environment…
  4. calculating press time cost

    Check the specs of your machine. Each print mode prints xx sq.ft. per hour. From there you should be able to figure out your time and costs .
  5. Install sign off or approval processes?

    100% agree here. 1. Looks very armature. Why did you not do this as cut vinyl an apply that? Aren’t you the professional? If this was my client I’d guide them in the correct direction. 2. Fire the sub. If they can’t do this they should not be in the business. Period.
  6. Pricing cut vinyl

    Not to offend but this is almost like hearing “I need a sign” from a client. There are things that we take into consideration for projects like this. Material/vinyl used (we only use cast, period) Complexity (ie production time. The more complex the more time to cut and weed) Travel time...
  7. Trimming Vinyl off edges of substrate

    Simple…… Do what works best for the person to get done right, quickly and cleanly. No right or wrong way.
  8. Odd question for time & material

    Since I have nothing to go from except your description of the project… Let’s say it takes 3 hours total. This is you setting the board up for removal, letting the chemical(s) set, cleanup and reletter. Of that 3 hours you only physically touch it for 1 hour. Assuming you ship rate to be...
  9. HP 800W users…what are your thoughts?

    HP 800W users/owners… What are your thoughts on the machine? Pros… Cons… I’m looking for real world info. I have a 570 and looking to go to the 800W. Thanks in advance for your info.
  10. HP 570 media jam - release or manual movement of media

    If you have a media jam on the HP 570 is the a way to release the media or manually advance or back up the media? We just had a jam and a saw my employee pulling with all his might to get the media out of the machine.
  11. How would you make this safety/privacy divider?

    We’d print on etched glass vinyl. Apply to acrylic and cut to final shape. Of course you have to figure out your mounting.
  12. Found an Incredible Squeegee - Cheap Wrap Tools

    Just 1 squeegee type? IMO you need different types. Different sizes, stiffness, shape You can’t use a philips head screw driver to get out all the screws you might come across can you? Each squeegee has its purpose and use. I’ve been wrapping for 20+ years and use a variety of tools to...
  13. Need Help How do I remove this adhesive

    Looks like it was VHB tape. If you can…… Spray adhesive remover on it. Let it sit for 5 or so minutes. Scrape off what you can with a PLASTIC scraper (metal if the surface it is on can get scratched). Repeat until it is all off. The other and maybe more cost effective way is to make a...
  14. What is this material?

    From what I can tell from the images, it looks styrofoam (construction grade) with a digital print applied. Cheap……
  15. Textured wall wrap tools

    Having used all the items mentioned above the best IMO is the 3M TSA tool(s). They take the heat the best, give you the best results. There is a reason why you can only go so fast with rough wall installs. You also have to use the correct material!
  16. JFX200 - media strike error, nothing hitting

    A few things to check clean table? No ink on table… check/clean the “crash bars”. You can get ink build up on them
  17. Opinions about World Wide Sign Systems...

    I’ve used them for years on many projects. No problems here. However, I am using the Wisconsin location.....

  19. CG-160FXII Plotter - Fine Cut 9 - Why no Intermediate Marks?

    As SolventInk says.... I purchased a Summa T-Series. Love it load a roll and with the barcode reading capability we cut job after job after job. Unattended. just come and grab the sheets as they are cut off when done
