  1. Workers' comp insurance costs

    I'm not sure what the laws are on that and if you can opt out, but maybe you're classified incorrectly. I know that some jobs or bids require you to have it if that makes a difference.

    You can reach out to local distributors or the go to the manufactures website.
  3. Need Help Am I crazy, or can this not be printed as is?

  4. Car Wrapping Question

    So removing most handles aren't that bad. On many vehicles there is a torque head set screw in the door. On some vehicles you need to watch out for the ones with electronic sensor in the handles. I find that it usually best to try to find a YouTube video first to see if it's even worth the...
  5. Does anybody use flat pricing for their vehicle wraps?

    Most wraps up here start around $4000.
  6. Car Wrapping Question

    I have actually. The biggest think to remember is to go around the edge of the first layer with some heat. If you don't that edge where there's a little bit of tenting will fail. A co-worker did one with a base layer of carbon fiber and than matte black on top. He used a heat gun and rolly...
  7. Does anybody use flat pricing for their vehicle wraps?

    Your incorrect in where I'm coming from. I believe that relationships with the customer makes all the difference, and it's these relationships that will keep them coming back even if someone can do it a little cheaper. So no I'm not coming from a numbers perspective. Again I think that you...
  8. Car Wrapping Question

    So if your going to print onto black you need have a printer that prints white. If you don't have that ability than you print it on white and apply a matte overlam this will most likely be the best option. You could wrap in matte black and than apply printed/cut stuff over the top but I'm no...
  9. 2'x17' vinyl install

    So the 3551RA is air release correct that what the RA stands for? You should be fine if you middle hinge it. If you can use two ladders and plank you can to it by yourself easier but if you had the option of a second person to help you out for few minutes that would be best. Also look to see...
  10. overlapping view thru vinyl?

    What 2CT said. Just butt seem it. The overlap will look bad.
  11. Need Help Am I crazy, or can this not be printed as is?

    I wouldn't consider those neon colors. Do you have the vector files? Can you not just replace them with spot colors and be done with it? If you don't have the vector but the image you have is high enough resolution that particular artwork you could easily trace in Illustrator and assign it...
  12. Does anybody use flat pricing for their vehicle wraps?

    We use flat pricing in the way that material cost this much, design time cost this much, and that our install time is this much. You can come up with basic estimates for material and time for full wrap, half wrap and partial wrap and have it on display for the customs on the most popular...
  13. Rant acting before thinking

    That thread is bullshit. She did $80,000 in sales in a year and now wants to sell it, cause life got to hard. I think that she did the numbers with her accountant (that's probably a friend) and found out that she was only making $20,000 off that $80,000 decided it wasn't worth it and now wants...
  14. Need Help New Shop, New Equipment thoughts

    That sucks but you should keep you options open and also look at latex. Do some research on all 3 printers, go to a dealer and see them print, ask questions, look at support network, cost of repair for common issues, consumables, etc.... you might be surprised when you get down to some of the...
  15. Vehicle Graphics in the wild North Slope of Alaska

    That sucks, all I have to deal with are bears, moose, and mosquitoes.
  16. Vehicle Graphics in the wild North Slope of Alaska

    Nope not hazard pay, but if we had to apply on site it would have been expensive. This is an area in Alaska called the 'North Slope' it's where they drill for oil at. Not much up there either, fun fact the mosquito are the primary insects up there. They pollinate plants since there are no bees.
  17. Blurred printing

    Do you maybe have too much tension on the take-up reel? Maybe the pinch rollers aren't functioning properly.
  18. Vehicle Graphics in the wild North Slope of Alaska

    The rolling hills are nice and all, I would just miss the mountains.
  19. Program suggestions

    So 3M IJ180? Your're printing and cutting this with no lam? The mark scan error can happen for several reasons. You could not have enough space on the sides. I usually have at least 1"-1.5" inset form the sides. How big and what margin are you giving yourself for the registration marks? It...
