  5. How much to charge for a rush job?

    I do not think $$$ s/f is wholesale pricing.... If he was selling for $$$$ s/f that would be a different story. As far as taking on a job like that with not having the proper production machines in place is not wise. Yes at $$$ s/f there is a ton of profit in the job if you are set up to do...

  7. Anyone have pic's of failed or faded wraps? 12 trailer saga!

    here are some photos of job we took a couple of years ago... These photos are no joke they are actually what the client got.. even better they subbed it to a very large wrap company prior to us to handle production and logistics. I think the installs were done by a shop in Sacramento Ca but I...
  8. Glow-Lit Wrap Graphics...

    Actually my superiors are the VP of Operations and the President/CEO of the company. I can assure you that they would love to go back in time when you could get $15.00 s/f for wraps. Granted volume was not as robust but more money was being made.. Damn they still even call wraps "Scotchprint" if...
  9. Pricing 12 Semi Trailer Wraps

    57.5" panels is exactly 10 per side on 60" material. On 2 XL1500 - 126" printers we would run 2 rolls up (4 rolls at a time) To get very nice quality we would run six color @ 750 s/f an hour up to 950 s/f an hour depending on graphic. Thats 8 hours of print on 2 machines. Finishing would be...
  10. Pricing 12 Semi Trailer Wraps

    sorry but the going rate for this kind of volume is $4.75 printed and installed. your talking 12,000 s/f of print for this job.. even at that price there are many shops who will do that kind of volume even cheaper. if you think it is to low this kind of work is not in your arena.... nor will...
  11. Pricing 12 Semi Trailer Wraps

    you should be around $4,750.00 print and install per unit to be competitive. that is about national market value for that kind of volume... removals are hard to price without a complete survey. usually around $650 a unit....
  12. GRRRRR I hate banner vinyl...

    Key, Ultra flex Jetflex and all the other knock off banner is made in the same Korean factory. The MFG in Korea is Starflex..... If you want 13 oz banner in the same price range it all comes from Starflex no matter what name it is imported under...
  13. Roland ECO ink not so ECO ???

    very clear on how solvents work. Just was curious on how the little Rolands and Mutohs are so bad with Omitting VOC's VS a real production solvent printer. again the machines need to be set up in a proper print area.With proper venting and air return. All ink spec sheets will let you know...
  14. Roland ECO ink not so ECO ???

    No solvent inks contain any heavy metals as indicated above. the VOC's are the gas that is released by the print process. Not sure how the little machines omit the VOC's. Out gassing in printing is as old as the first screen print. No matter what vents you have you will still smell and omit...
  15. Old vs. New

    Lose the dozen angles for every job... I know you are trying to show perfection but it is very boring.... Great work non the less...
  16. Cheaper Banner Vinyl??

    If you are in fact paying $.14 s/f you are doing pretty good on pricing. unless you want to commit to a container $.14 is a great price is it 1000x1000 denier or 500x500? that will greatly influence the price. all these "new banner suppliers" (key, arlon, sihl etc) all come from the same...
  17. Glow-Lit Wrap Graphics...

    I sure wish the wrap industry would fade. Let the little one offs go away and let the shops who really do wraps do them... This recent boom has been only about 4 years now and getting out of hand with all the new jacks and self proclaimed experts... The wrap market is over played and...
  18. digital printing

    We print UV on two Jeti 3150s and roll to roll on a 3200r. Never get dot pattern as indicated above. However on an older grand format machine that prints 100dpi the dot gain is very apparent almost "grainy looking"
  19. digital printing

    Its dot gain from the printer.. Old school grand format printers that print at a lower resolution are the cause. First and Second generation Nurs and Vuteks printed that way many of these machines are still printing the same garbage right now...
