In terms of which machine makes us the most money, I would have to say our 2 laser engravers, they run pretty much non stop every day. the machine that has made our lives easier, the rolls roller without a doubt.

Yup, you are not alone Just had a guy in yesterday wanting some work done, I could tell in the first minute that something didn't sit right with me about him, wanted some engraving done, a few red flags popped up 1) he was getting the work done somewhere else for about 1/4 of what I quoted...

Have you considered using phototex for the "temporary" top layer, it sticks to pretty much anything and removes perfectly clean Make sure you order the opaque version as the regular version is a it see through when applied overtop of other graphics.

Once again you provide no real proof for your argument, let me spell it out for you, If I choose to sell Gemini products on the web to the end user (my clients) that is an entire universe apart from Gemini selling their products directly to the end user. As I said earlier, they allow and...

If you don't believe me, call Gemini and ask if you can use the images/videos/ text from their website on your own, see what they say. When I asked they even told me if I don't see something to email them and they will take a look as they have a ton of photos that are not on their website that...

I didn't want to post that, in the interest of not airing pricing in public.

it's not a better deal, I compared pricing with my retail Gemini catalogue, it's about 10% higher than the suggested retail price from Gemini, so while their profits are not huge, if they are online only (which it seems they are) and their website is set up to allow for minimal human involvement...

That website is not affiliated with Gemini, they are just reselling Gemini's products. Gemini allows any of their clients to use any photos and text from their website in their own, I am in process of setting up a website showcasing a product we buy from gemini, When I called them they said...

Do you have any proof to back this up, or are you just rambling again?

they sell do architects, contractors, sign professionals and designers I believe they always verify that you are indeed a legit company before they sell to you, so your client can't just order directly from them, unless they are one of the above professions.

Ummmm judging by their website, they just resell Gemini's products, they use the same photos for colours and finishes as Gemini does...

Ahh, I did not know that

This product bulletin from 3M states 3 year http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/503906O/ij35-sell-sheet.pdf

IJ35 is a 3 year film FYI, you mentioned a 5 year film earlier. We stock IJ40 here, we use it for medium and long term flat applications. For medium term we laminate it with the signmax lam, for long term, we laminate with a 2 mil cast laminate, I found it saves us from stocking too many vinyls

it is rated as a 3 year, but oraguard 210 is only a 4 year film. I've used it and i'm very happy with it, but i've only been using if for less than a year, but so far no issues.

The signmax gloss laminate is amazing!! it's by far the glossiest 3 mil laminate i've ever seen, it looks like 2 mil wrap lam when it's on. nice thick backer paper as well. We've switched over to it for our intermediate laminate, no regrets

At the end of the day do whatever you want, but your OP asked people how they would handle it, people chimed in and you got defensive when some people didn't agree with you. If this was me, I would do as I stated above, offer a CREDIT on the 60" lamps, it makes you look caring and sympathetic...

And as an added bonus, the adhesive smells like bubble gum!

I would take back the 60" tubes, and offer him a credit (not cash)for the value of them, use them in another project, win/win

Also, try cleaning the vinyl with isopropyl alcohol 99% before you print it, I've found that sometimes this will fix issues like this. Alternatively, you can try printing on clear vinyl, and laminating that to the chrome, then contour cutting, it's extra time and material but depending on...
