Tell them take it or leave it...In the (almost) words of the former Governor of California, "They'll be back."

I think keeping a bit of slack between a heavy roll and the platen is a good idea.

Our experience printing with vinyl cling material was not good. We tried it once when we had an SP300 and found the material would not lay flat, resulting in head strikes, smudges, etc. It is possible you can print this material on a machine that allows you to raise the head (our SP300 wouldn't...

Texts !!!! Arg. E-mails are fine. Customers who text, but won't e-mail and are unavailable by phone drive me crazy !

Engine Hoist Pro Tip: Rent an engine hoist to set it up. Use nylon straps, available at Harbor Freight or the rental center, to secure the machine. Makes for an easy one or two person job. No stress or strain.

Same Problem with 54" Might as well chime it. I stared a post a couple weeks ago when I found our laminator was generating silvering and sometimes bubbling with 54" wide materials only. 30" and 36" worked fine. My guess is that we re-shaped the rollers for the narrower materials as we had been...

A child is God's greatest gift. Next to horses. (I think your customer likes his horses more than his children !)

Get a Piece on Every Leg "Get a Piece on Every Leg" So this is a professionally drawn logo for bubblegum flavored chicken ?

Mess Around With It Don't see why you can't play with the kerning and tracking to bring it across the hood. If you interfere with the vent, just print the letter in that place on wrap material and cut out the vent area. It will still be readable. (Ok, my attachment is a bit ugly, but it shows...

Solutions We don't leave the rollers down (or not to my best recollection...I check at the end of the day, but my memory might not be perfect.), but apparently running 36" material regularly caused the rollers to take the wrong set set. I called UStech and they answered right away (should...

We have a USTech, 54" laminator and for the past two years, it has been great. We laminate everything from 30" to 54" on it, but for the past couple of months or so, have been using it for 30" and (mostly) 36" cast materials. Yesterday, immediately after laminating a 36 inch sheet of cast...

Fair Use Generally speaking Fair Use allows you to use an image because the public has a right to know and/or to speak out to power. For example, you can often (but not always) in a news publication, publish someone else's photo of a disaster or a photo of a politician in a funny hat (like...

Video Seems to Include an Arlon Clip They offer a great price and we are going to have to try it... Interestingly, the section of the video where someone is smooshing bubbles with their fingers looks just like a clip from an Arlon video. This stuff, according to the specs, is thinner than...

Design Program / RIP / Profile Just a thought. The printer might be perfect, but the design program / RIP and or profile might be the source of your problems. You can print a really bad image with a really good printer if you don't have your settings adjusted correctly. It seems that your...

Use an Engine Hoist I recommend renting an engine hoist (10 or 20 bucks) to set up a laminator. Works a treat and saves your back ! Also, it becomes a one man job.

Sign Lasts Too Long Sometimes a sign lasts too long. Other times, not long enough. I had a thoroughly disagreeable customer about 10 years ago when I got into the business. Lied about having a finished design, the price I quoted (not in writing)...delivered a dirty truck for a wrap and was...

Great Job Wasn't slow to load on my computer. Great job! I just started messing around with WordPress. Very Powerful! Haven't reached your level yet, but working on it !

Have the Seller Demo the Machine Regarding buying a used machines, my advice would be the make sure the seller demos the machine for you. We've owned a couple of Rolands (SP300 and VS540) and have been very happy with them, but I'm sure other printers do a great job too. When we sold the...

The Silverdome only cost a half million No judgement on the crowd sourcing here. But a bit of background: The Silverdome was purchased a few years ago for a $500,000 ! Last year, the company that owns the dome (not sure if it is the same that bought it for $500,000) sold the "stuff" that was...
