Looking good! :thumb: Please keep us posted on your progress.

I for one don't like it. If a vendor wants to be my supplier they can't be my competition, as in sell the same products and services I offer. There is a clear conflict of interests there and I don't know how anybody would tolerate it. I know companies like Fellers tread close by selling to...

Sorry I didn't see this thread till this morning. Yes, everything you described pointed towards a clogged drain lines. I can't stress enough that with these ValueJet printers keeping the drain lines clean and clear and making sure there is a good seal around the head and cap is the key to a...

Yeah, in the end I think I could have knocked them out in about 2 hours without too much stress. I "was" going to say something to him, but I think after hearing everyone's opinion I'll decide to gently prod him along next time, but won't be a d*ck about it. :Big Laugh

OK, so it took him 3.5 hrs - grommet press - which I thought seemed excessive, but apparently not if you all feel 3-4 hours is the norm. So maybe I'm expecting too much and the problem is me? :rolleyes: Lol, thanks guys.

OK, so new guy does great work but he seems (to me) very slow. I gave him a roll of 15 banners, 3' x 3' that needed cut down/trimmed from a 38" roll so he's only trimming top and bottom, and then 4 sided tape hem and grommets placed in each of 4 corners, then roll up and tape each one when...

I was in a similar situation when I got started and didn't have the money to buy a laminator immediately after purchasing my printer. For smaller jobs I had a 32" BS and I also invested in a 54" BS for larger stuff. The 32" was/is very easy to handle and makes quick work of small stuff...

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised someone else isn't getting back to you from Oracal. I had a problem recently with a roll of their 3751 wrap vinyl and it was apparent there was an issue with the roll because colors wouldn't lay down consistently, blotchy streaks, etc. I did get credit for the...

I call B.S., and if not they need to put a disclaimer on all their regular vinyls as well if lamination is a requirement. I've never laminated any non-printed vinyl including Oracal 5600 which I haven't ever had any issues with. In fact, I have a fleet of plumbing vans rolling around with...

Just a few things I will touch on... There are a wide variety of prices of laminates because each is used/rated/spec'd for certain applications. Also, thicker material has nothing to do with quality or durability - strangely enough, most often it's the other way around. (Put some cheap...

Welcome from Columbus!

Had some similar weird communication issues years ago, maybe this will give you some ideas; http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?55516-Losing-connection-between-PC-amp-Valuejet Double check that your cables are good and I would triple check on the IP addresses. I would suggest doing...

Are both copies of Wasatch different builds/serial #'s, and are the computers on the same network? *BTW - Why are you running 2 printers from 2 different copies of Wasatch? (Wasatch handles up to 4 devices with only 1 copy - 1 que for each device.)

I have no idea what your concept is, but being an entrepreneur is all about taking risks. If you have a unique idea that you are afraid someone will copy, I would first spend time getting a patent or trademark to try and protect it if possible. Afterwards, it would be a matter of finding a...

Yup, and also check that there is no lint/fuzz/smudge/debris on the bottom of the eye.

It's harder to find, but it's out there. I know Fellers stocks 36" rolls of IJ-180 and matching laminates, but as for other materials it probably will be hit and miss. Remember, that many suppliers can cut rolls down for you as well.

Absolutely, and I apologize if I didn't make that clear. We always use a cast laminate with IJ-40 for long term projects. If you use a standard calendared laminate it will shrink faster than the IJ40 and will cause lifting on the edges.

Played trombone for over 8 years and was 1st chair in our HS jazz ensemble. That kid on the 'bone is good! Yeah, sax player is pretty decent too. :Big Laugh

As with anything, your mileage may vary. If you are trying to give your customer a warranty, I won't do 5 years on anything, even on 3M 180 - just too many variables involved on how they will be used, where they are stored, etc. We warranty materials like IJ-40 and 180 for a year and I tell my...

Yes, for instance, before we even had our first printer I had Merritt print about 10 pair of 3' x 14' prints using IJ-40 and a cast laminate. (I had initially wanted to use IJ-180, but Mike at Merritt told me because these were flat panels he would opt for the IJ-40 because he thought the IJ-180...
