Years ago I did about 800k with me, my wife and my mother, BUT we all worked like owners easily doing the work of 6-7 regular people. Now I'm up to 8-9 employees total but the 3 of our family members are probably doing 75% of the work, but we also take 90% of the profit :). All inhouse at very...

This is why it was important to resist masks and other mandates from day 1. I'm glad that everyone I interact with in real life didn't go along with this bs from day 1

Thanks, I wonder if there are any USA options

I need some roll holders that hold the rolls in a box, I need something low profile similar to the one that phototex comes with and not ones with a thicker base like orafol products come with. I need a constant supply to use in shipping printed stuff rolled on cores to customers, this type...

What makes you think it's a scam?

I have a basic CWT that gets 8 hrs per day non stop use and love it, applying to substrates, small run lamination, apply tranfer tape. Takes a bit of practice but way easier than any other method for those tasks. I went with cwt over other brands as I'm in TX and so is their USA warehouse

I do them on cheap calendered vinyl, no lamination but with tranfer tape. Do a ton that way and have a few test ones on my car that look new 5 years later. Roland printer/inks. Only downside is full bleed if a very dark color needs a small white border or laminate

Instead of individual squares in your design file, design it with longer intersecting vertical/horizontal lines

I'm using roland SG2's and print quality is great, no grain, would fit into your budget. Epson 40600 would be the #1 recommendation from most people here. Don't worry about the "solvent" part and running it in your basement, latex isn't odor free either

What are you going to print with the printer? if you are printing "pictures and posters" then a latex or ecosolvent is not the best tool

I'm happy with it taking 5min to roll up/pack considering the cost of those things

How long does it take you? I do lots of murals and 5 panels of 28" x 10ft takes like 2 minutes to roll up on a core. Lay everything flat on a long table and roll the core over the panel to roll up. I doubt there is an automated solution that would do it faster unless you go all out with the...

I print lots of phototex opas on roland printers. I just use the generic vinyl profile and it looks great. Have you tried printing with your favorite profile? The print quality looks great on just about any profile I've tried

Ok going with this combo

Ok I'm waiting for them to provide a file so I can see how much I'll have to do to get it print ready, also figured out the material they are currently using is Avery 1105EZ with Avery DOL1360Z lam so I'll go with that

Ok I'm going with the following, since it is about the only thing in stock Avery 1105EZ vinyl with either 3M 8518 or Avery DOL1360Z lam. Any problem with this? Also is $600 to print and laminate (not counting material) 75ft x 54" too low or about the going wholesale-ish rate?

I only make indoor graphics, murals/decals and was approached by a neighboring car wrapping business asking if I can print car wraps for them. They wrap expensive cars ie rolls royce, Bentley etc and "pop trunk" type cars mostly with color change vinyl but are looking to do more regular cars...

Have you tried different materials, profiles etc. You're just going to have to play around with materials and profiles until it looks good. I have a VS300 (I think one generation ahead of your printer ) and it is more grainy compared to my new SG2 where all colors look like colored vinyl with 0...

maybe upload a picture of what is getting printed out and a pic of whats in the file?
