  1. Branding companies....just dont!

    There's a thing called "Trade Credit Insurance" Where you're insured for customers not paying their accounts.
  2. Question How do you make a transmissive profile for a clear film when it has permanent adhesive and an opaque backer?

    That would be fine for most applications. You’ll never get accuracy in transmissive profiles / clear stocks for general applications as mentioned earlier. We’ve never really found a customer demanding accurate colour matching for clear graphics. Impossible.
  3. Declining jobs based on moral/ethical grounds

    Work is work. If you don't take it, someone else will. Religious or personal beliefs are just that... beliefs... How about all the greenpeace people getting signs printed on corrugated plastic? Ethically, cardboard and hand paint will suffice. Printing is not very eco friendly if you don't do...
  4. Window Clings

    We print these quite often. Clear or white clings.
  5. Summa F1612 Wallpaper

    I cannot speak for flexa, but have heard good stuff about the Miura. We run a fotoba XLD170HS. It cuts very accurate. If you simply put outlines around the print (done in the RIP) or even crop or registration marks. You line up the slitters with the lines + your bleed (2-3mm is all you...
  6. Summa F1612 Wallpaper

    Depends how many you do a week/day. If it's volume, the Fotoba will win hands down.
  7. Question How do you make a transmissive profile for a clear film when it has permanent adhesive and an opaque backer?

    You may think it's fine, but i can guarantee you, if it's done in transmissive mode, it's a huge difference. I know this as i've tried before.
  8. UV Curing

    Don't use flush. Use paint thinners or Gunwash. It's far cheaper and will remove it from the glass. Put it in a container and soak it.
  9. UV Curing

    You could remove it, but not recommended. If the clouding is on the outside (from the ink) Soak it with isopropyl. scrub it with steel wool.
  10. Question How do you make a transmissive profile for a clear film when it has permanent adhesive and an opaque backer?

    It depends what the final intentions are with the stock. The profile needs to be made the way the stock will be viewed. So if it'll be stuck on a glass window, lightbox etc. Then you need to make a transmissive profile. For that, stick it to a clear film. If it'll be stuck to a white wall...

  13. Software Help Onyx vs Printfactory

    Onyx. But, do yourself a favour. Get a trial of both. Onyx has a 30day free trial. Get in touch with printfactory and see what they have to offer. FYI as people get confused: Trial - full software for a limited time (you could use it as a production software for a limited time as it's...
  14. New monitor, Any Recommendations?

    It actually doesn't. Using a higher resolution monitor is all about the pixel density and sharpness of the display. Not how small the text is. Look at the old iPhone 4. Then look at the new iphone 13's. Everything, the text, icons are similar sizes, but the screen resolution is far smaller...
  15. New monitor, Any Recommendations?

    There's a scaling function built into windows 10 for that reason. (Right click - Display settings) and change the scaling.
  16. Quickbooks 2022?

    Like i said, Most accountants know their way around all the popular big name accounting software. Why? because not all accounting software works for all businesses. I didn't use freshbooks or quickbooks because it didn't have integration with my MIS platform. So because my accountant only...
  17. Quickbooks 2022?

    Most accountants should be familiar with all the big names.
  18. Quickbooks 2022?

    Oh i've seen that app! it's quite neat. Only thing with choosing an accounting platform is if it works with your industry, your workflow and other software and yes, your accountant.
  19. Quickbooks 2022?

    Subscription base is so much better. We use Xero though. But having a subscription makes a lot of things easier. Especially things like accessing on multiple computers, phones and tablets. Not only that, but makes API integrations a lot easier. For example My Xero is connected to my...
