  1. 2019 Lincoln MKC vehicle template?

    Anyone know where to find one? My PVO software doesn't list one - any other options?
  2. Discussion what's everyone's hurry????

    Oh yes indeed, and I blame it all on our society... 30-35 years ago, most stores were closed on Sunday and holidays and many closed early on Saturday. 20 years ago it wasn't a huge deal if you called and left a message for someone and didn't get a call back until the next day. You understood...
  3. Looking to buy a new printer - MM's please view

    I would message Bigfish he is an HP Latex dealer.
  4. Artwork/design pricing and deposit procedures

    If it's a new customer that we haven't worked with before, we charge an artwork deposit based on an estimate of time we think it will take to come up with 2-3 concepts. If they use that up, (rarely happens) we simply tell them and they can pay more to get more designs/tweaks done. If it's an...
  5. Ink Issue ! Switched to STS

    Being a 2013 model, it's doubtful its a DX7, should be a DX5 or possibly a DX6 - but regardless pretty much same build other than performance... You should be able to pull off the damper and attach a syringe with cleaning fluid directly to the magenta channels -- BUT, I would strongly advise...
  6. Ink Issue ! Switched to STS

    You were a happy Jetbest user, you said a magenta cartridge exploded and made a mess and Jetbest wouldn't replace the cartridge, so you decided to switch to STS because of that? I can only imagine a cartridge would explode if exposed to a rapid change in temperature, or perhaps it was sitting...
  7. Mutoh ValueJet Greys not Grey

    The 1204 uses the older profiles, so make sure you aren't using a profile for a newer Mutoh like the 1324 or 1624...You should still be able to download older profiles from many places. I would look for 3M's calendared 720 profile, General Formulations has a good one as well. The Oracal 3651...
  8. Mutoh ValueJet Greys not Grey

    Grays are always tricky, but in my experience, color always boils down to profiles. What RIP are you using, what model printer and what profile?
  9. Suggestions Was just wondering what others might be doing..........................

    FWIW - seems a little high to me. We'd be around $150-$175/set (frame/rider/sign panel) based on a QTY of 10 and depending on the client. (Also, not sure what you sell your frames for, we only get 50% markup on them as they are basically a commodity item that can be ordered anywhere.)
  10. One for me...

    Very Nice!
  11. Found an Incredible Squeegee - Cheap Wrap Tools

    Just ordered a dozen to try out, looking forward to getting them.
  12. Suggestions mid range flatbed printer

    First, I'm not a flatbed expert at all - I'm sure others will chime in with more info. In regards to your question, you need to ask yourself what will you be printing? Large quantities of coroplast and foam boards, or high quality stuff like glass and acrylics? You also have to determine if...
  13. Give credit where credit is due Signs365

    Yup, we use them only for certain things as we have 3 printers in-house, but that said 99% of the time what they do is done right and on the rare occasion a problem occurs they are always prompt and fair in getting it taken care of.
  14. Best way to deal with companies wanting to be listed on your Insurance?

    Yes, I was mistaken - they don't charge for a COI, but additional insured, my bad. But still, just one of those headache things where I think "Hey, job is done, pay me!" Lol.
  15. What percent do you markup off the shelf parts & retail items on average?

    Specifically, I am wondering if everyone uses a flat percentage across the board or does it vary based on the item? Common items used in conjunction with signs that we aren't making - such as realtor frames, fence posts, yard sign stakes, bags of concrete, etc...
  16. Best way to deal with companies wanting to be listed on your Insurance?

    So, we get requests to do installs frequently throughout the year from shops outside our area and from other states. An issue we are running into (and one I am dealing with at the moment) is that we get request to do the work, we make a bid, company accepts bid, we do work and then send invoice...
  17. Wasatch - Asking for registration codes all of a sudden.

    Check you dongle, often times that is the culprit. Make sure the light is lit and/or take it out and plug it back in. Also, make sure something hasn't happened to that USB port, sometimes they go bad. Worst case scenario call Wasatch, even though you might not have a current service plan...
  18. Paving dump truck printed vinyl failing

    For our issue we tested using a silicone/rubberized sheet as an insulator - 1/4" thick which was adhered to the bedside and then we wrapped the sheet. (Similar to the stuff they make pot holders and cooking sheets out of) My customer direct ordered this stuff and it was their responsibility to...
  19. Ink Fill??

    If there is air above the damper then it's most likely leaking somewhere around the damper. Either the fitting to the damper (make sure O-rings aren't crushed or twisted) or there could be a bad fit from the damper to the manifold, OR possibly a cracked manifold at the black.
  20. Ink Fill??

    If you have attached a syringe to the bottom of the cap top and are pulling air then you have a leak somewhere. (Typically the fittings that go to the dampers are to blame, but make sure that the dampers are snapped in place on top of the manifold as well.)
