nekoosa 775 (formerly know as perfect tear plus), I never mess up by hand, flatbed occasionally wrinkles backing on areas without vinyl on certain patterns such as 10ft long 4 inch wide trees spaced a inch apart

yea i'm having doubts that I would be able to run a whole role off weeded vinyl without issues, the flatbed gives problems on certain weeded patterns but on some stuff it is great although slower than doing it by hand

Finding the right people would solve the problem for sure but I still need to explore other methods. I'm glad I got a flat bed applicator, while it wasn't a total problem solver it is good to have (I had an unexpected rush order for 10 non printed banners and wow was it easy applying the vinyl...

The issue I'm having I guess is scaling with non-family workers. I currently have 5-6 family members working, we're all good but outside help is shockingly below my expectations. I decided to take the next step and expand a bit, we've been close to 7 figures in revenue for the last 6-7 years but...

I'm liking the idea of trying roll to roll for the bulk stuff we do and then continue looking for a person to do the transfer tape manually on the small stuff. To use you hole digging example, there is far less to mess up on when digging a hole compared to handling a 10 ft section of vinyl...

Yes that is how we do it now, problem is, the manual method is hard physically and I need to free my self up for other stuff. Finding labor to do it fast enough has been challenging so I have to find a way to get this more automated. going through 3-4 rolls of transfer tape manually per day will...

Does any one have experience with the 3M Hand Squeeze Roll Applicator (HSRA-48), this seems like a hybrid manual/automated way This seems like it might have the speed with manual but even faster since the roller pressed the tape down instead of a manual squeegee...

I'm open to doing full rolls, I do have high volume designs that I can do full rolls on. What would be the best way to roll the vinyl up after cutting on graptec fc9000? are there any roll to roll set up that attach to tables for weeding?

Ok that makes sense

Well when you offer 60+ colors, have 250+ designs with each requiring 4-5 colors of vinyl, doing full rolls is not an option. We do 300+ yards of vinyl this way per day. Cut, weed, apply transfer tape, trim, roll up and ship. We do it manually now with some application being done on the...

Or lets say if the print appears reddish turn down the magenta in color adjustments, or turn the blue up, it'll take some dialing in

I've had decent results with making sure the file is set to grayscale in photoshop and then in versaworks "color adjustments" set all colors except for black to -5. I get pretty good black and white prints on my vs300 this way

I could keep everything rolled up, need to figure out how I would do it though with a graphtec fc9000 and then how to weed and roll up again? The decals are mostly Oracal 631 with perfect tear (nekoosa) 775, not printed on a roll to roll. I saw another shop post a time lapse video and they are...

I should also probably add - budget is not an issue, I need something that will be reliable and can handle ideally 300+ yards per day for years, 5-10k range

A little background: In business 10 years making wall decals (sayings, trees, animals etc) Business is going good and I'm expanding but we have a major bottleneck in production --- applying transfer tape. I currently have 2-3 station set up with WEBERmade Tape Tool and while it is good and...
