    Completion pics were at an extreme angle. We did get artwork proof approval before printing.
  2. Flatbed cutter users - how do you estimate time?

    I think I muddied this post my adding the example image from my other thread. On this thread I’m trying to figure out best practices for estimating cut contour jobs without having to run a file through prepress or create a cut file for a job that we may not get. I posted the crooked install...
  3. Install sign off or approval processes?

    We agree that this is on the installer. I have on occasion sent an extra print, but I'd be curious how others handle that. We printed out client supplied artwork, pushed back about the blank space but they insisted. Plain and simple the error was easily avoided and we learned some lessons with...
  4. Flatbed cutter users - how do you estimate time?

    Most times we don’t have the cut file ahead of time. See the image below for example. I’ll receive this in email and say we need 112 cut contour from foam core at roughly 10x12”. There’s no cut file provided so what is my plan to help estimating get a price quickly? Or in this example they want...
  5. Install sign off or approval processes?

    BTW, the extra unprinted vinyl was contested by me, but the client dictated the size. The reprint will be trimmed appropriately.
  6. Install sign off or approval processes?

    This is the result. Not awful, but less than I'd expect. We were told all was well, until it wasn't.
  7. Install sign off or approval processes?

    We're trying to hire now and unless you're handing out NFL-style salary packages, the pickings are slim. I have a post on this forum looking for talent to for production help. Business is picking up, and we need more talented hands.
  8. Install sign off or approval processes?

    Thanks fro the feedback. Sorry, I'm not being clear enough. I'm not wanting to get out of responsibility, I'm trying to ensure we're not leaving behind poor quality work without accountability. Did -someone- verify that the job was done to satisfaction before leaving the site? Did we please the...

  10. Install sign off or approval processes?

    We have had a couple recent installs for a client come back on us for one issue or another. So far we sub out 100% of our installs. Most recently, we subbed out the installation of a wall graphic, 10'wide x 3.5' tall in a retail location. A day later, according to our client contact the...
  11. Wide format production help needed - Dallas, TX

    We are growing in the wide format department of our print business. We need to add a second shift operator to expand our capacity. Training is available. We operate a HP Latex R1000, HP Latex 570, Colex Sharpcut flatbed cutter/router, and Seal 62 Pro D laminator. We are located near downtown...

  13. Cutter marks out of Onyx for tiled graphics?

    Did you have the Onyx license for your cutter? Seems we may need to add that.
  14. Flatbed cutting latex ink and PVC, weird edges?

    Sorry that I'm just seeing this post. We usually cut print side up. This material was 6mm thick, so one pass. Curious about what type of lubricant you use on the bit. I'd say our bits are clean when swapped in. I need to experiment with using a knife first to score the latex ink, followed up by...

  18. Question V Grooving bit to make french cleats?

    Hi Sam, we just finished a batch of French cleats using our table saw and it wasn't very messy. I'll check to see what type of blade our Facilities Manager used. Like you, I would definitely prefer to use our Colex rather than rely on him making time to assist my wide format guy with this type...
