Kari's HOT!

For scrim we use Superprint Plus. It's like .03 a sf more and prints WAY better. I agree with the unacceptable banding in the beginning of prints. This only happens when you load a new roll, and only for about two feet, and only sometimes. Just cancel & reprint and it's all good.

nice

This was *almost* a giant oops. A customer who owns a bus company talked to Jason (my brother) about installing a graphics package like they have on the rest of their buses on 10 buses they were ordering (brought in a layout). He built a quote and sent it off.. about $17k. Bus owner came...

I am a mother ******.. lol

We've been using mostly canned media profiles. Also running x10. On ours (it's an lx800) it takes about 2' for the media advance sensor to kick in. Every once-in-awhile you can see very slight feed calibration banding for a couple feet, then the machine corrects it. We run 13oz...

I understand exactly what you're saying about truth not being determined by belief. However, it's a fact that my shop can't design as well as Dan's, and Dan's can't install vinyl as well as mine. Therefore, we are different.

The only problem I have with this (and maybe you are VERY clear and really explain this to all of your customers) is that the majority of customers will glance right over the part where you say you're "training" and only hear the part where you're $500 less than the last shop they talked to...

What issues are you having? Ours was pretty much load & hit print.

Dude, should'a had us print those for ya!

Bob, I usually agree with a lot of what you say, but I have to respectfully disagree here. Maybe in your neck of the woods all of the shops are on par with each other. Around here, that's simply not the case, and you don't have to be in the industry or have a magnifying glass to see the...

This is exactly what we tell newbies NOT to do on a consistent basis here. Just because you're new, you have lower overhead, or are used to making a hundred bucks a day, doesn't mean you should lower your price. Learn your trade before you start selling it!

We had a pulley go out on our FB950 one time.. Pulley that moves the carriage was slipping on the shaft. Waited on HP for five days and FINALLY heard that the part was on backorder, with no sign of when it would be in stock. I told them they needed to find a demo unit, pull it out, and send...

KW and Circleville hit the nail on the head. If you don't know how to wrap, go learn. Learn in a shop where people who know what they're doing can teach you, not by owning a shop selling crap to your customers. As for personal attacks, not sure if you're referring to me or not.. but, I'm...

Uhh... wha? You sir, are just as bad as addie. Addie makes excuse after excuse as to why he does things wrong. You say it's okay to do things wrong cause you're still "practicing".. Then you say it's okay to put things on as long as they "look" straight. Keep practicing, buddy. That...

Damn Marlene, I literally laughed out loud at this one.

But what do the different types of glass have to do with vinyl application to it? Anybody with any experience knows to only use stainless.. I've used stainless on countless pieces of glass with never a problem. There were a couple times when windows were tinted and I didn't realize, but never...

Damn BJ! At least you know you don't have to worry about getting sued.. (not that you had ANY liability at all). Advertising on a vehicle, as long as it's done safely (ie, don't cover the windshield) can't be regulated as was being done by a few officers who were incorrectly interpretting...

Ken does some REALLY cool stuff with tint.

+1 Gino. Stucko.. you seem to be a little too easy on new guys. Learning is for school, not running a business. He doesn't even understand pricing and he's out there doing work. Great business model.
