  4. Discussion Just how frickin' stupid can people really be........... ??

    Maybe they didn't admit to the sign owner they hit the sign, or asked him to hold off calling his insurance so he could have the opportunity to pay for it himself and is just shopping around and scared you'll report him to an insurance company or something...?

  7. What's up with DIGIprint Supplies

    Have ordered several times in the past for parts for our Mutoh Valuejets. Never had an issue, always supplied tracking and parts arrived as expected. In fact, we plan on ordering a new maintenance station from them in the next week or so for our oldest 1624 - they have great prices.
  8. Master Laminator wrinkling

    A tip I can share about the Master/Worf brand laminators is to never use any add'l pressure when laminating. The problem you are describing sounds exactly what would be the outcome if you tightened the screws beyond going slack. The weight of the roller should be more than sufficient to...
  9. Suggestions Possible Scam or am I losing it?

    Got exactly the same inquiry just a few weeks ago, but they said they had 2 mercedes sprinters. Design was very generic, no company name or info, phone# or anything you would typically see on a wrap. I cut the cord when he said he had a medical issue and would have a delivery company drop off...
  10. Insurance is a P I T A

    Our insurance is through Erie - great company, rates are very reasonable, we have excellent coverage and our agent was very helpful in hearing our needs and getting us what we need and didn't try to oversell us on extra crap.
  11. What is a good 60" laminator for $2,000

    Overall I am please with the laminator itself. Very well built, good quality components, laminates very nice and smooth and all the adjustments and tension knobs work very well and allow you to tweak things on the fly. Really digging the heated roller this time of year for calendared...

  13. Need Help Master MVT-500 Laminator - bubbles everywhere

    FYI - you should always run all materials in the center of the rollers, no matter what the width. The main reason is that those rollers are usually crowned, and running it off to 1 side or the other can produce some weirdness at times. (At least in my experience.) What are the temps like in...
  14. Need help pricing

    FWIW - I've seen prices on trailers from national companies as low as $4.00/sf installed and I've seen others who charge $10-$12/sf or more, so it's really all over the board. If you're new to wrapping, you have to understand that your price and what you have to charge has nothing to do with...
  15. Question Do you use dedicated rip computer?

    We simply use 2 different networks. Our design stations, my computer and my office managers computer with quickbooks all are on a network with internet access. Our RIP computer which runs Wasatch and Summa Cutter control is on a totally different network and doesn't get access to the internet...
  16. Question Do you use dedicated rip computer?

    Yes, we run a dedicated RIP and we run Wasatch Softrip which allows us to control up to 4 devices (Printers/cutters) with just the 1 copy. Wouldn't do it any other way.

    Closed on Saturdays, not worth it.
  18. 3M Price Increase

    Yup, was just discussing this with my Fellers rep yesterday. Oracal has some big price increases on their standard 651 and 751 vinyls. For instance, last year a roll of 751 in 24" x 50yd black was $210.50 (book price) and this year has jumped to $243.50. (About a 15% increase...)
  19. Question Im gonna Wrapping a 53 foot trialer with rivets and horizontal ribs. Does anyone have any suggestion

    We wrapped a couple corrugated trailers a few years ago, hated it - PITA. If another corrugated trailer comes through our shop I will do my best to try to steer the customer towards a banner frame system instead of a wrap . Cost should be about the same and the bonus is that once the frame is...
