  1. Gerber Label Stock 2 mil alternatives

    Does anyone have a product that compares to Gerber Label Stock in a matte silver finish? I have a client looking for some decals that were previously screen printed on a thin metal type decal material, It look like Gerber Label Stock will work for this application, but it's out of stock at our...
  2. One of the hardest things we've ever wrapped!

    I remember when I took the Wrap class with Justin Pate, he told us a story, the city where he lives in Holland uses pickup trucks that are blue and yellow, they used to get them painted blue and yellow and then apply vinyl graphics to them, however when they went to sell the truck, they had a...
  3. Cutting Business Cards on Roland?

    Do whatever you want, but for the price of the blank card stock you posted, you could buy 1000 cards from 4over, throw 800 of them in the garbage and still be $5 ahead of the game...
  4. Cutting Business Cards on Roland?

    Or order them from a wholesaler like 4over and pay less than you can imagine for 1000 full colour cards on actual card stock. To me nothing screams " I don't take this job seriously" like cards with perforated edges and @gmail email addresses.
  5. A mini vent

    This is some of the best advice you will ever get. In my area, houses pretty much sell themselves. It's very uncommon for a house that is priced properly to be on the market for more than a week. The only thing an agent has to do around here is put a sign on the lawn and take some photos for...
  6. Site Surveys and Estimates getting out of control

    I would stop putting so much detail into your quotes, honestly the only thing a client looks at is the number at the bottom. Most clients don't know or care enough about what the sign is made from to waste your time. Our standard quote will say something to the effect of 4'x6' translucent...
  7. suppliers are still charging a fuel surcharge?

    Nah, i'll pass thanks.....
  8. suppliers are still charging a fuel surcharge?

    not here, i pay $23 shipping if the order is less than $200, if it's more it goes to $10.00 shipping, if it's over $1000 it's free shipping. no fuel surcharges here
  9. The gall of some customers.

    seriously do this, I would love to know what they say!!
  10. suppliers are still charging a fuel surcharge?

    who is this? I know ND charges $5 no matter what, you could place a $10,000 order and they will still ding ya
  11. Installations in the City...Union?

    We do installs all the time in hospitals & Universities where the staff are unionized, never had an issue, I think they classify us as "specialized labour" so the union is ok with it since they don't have a "sign installer" on staff.
  12. 651/751 Mint - Source Needed

    Good luck! I find it easier to get ahold of Avery colours around here, do any of the other manufacturers make a colour that will work? worse case scenario, order in 10 yards of 651 and bill your client for it, it's not very expensive.
  13. Clear coat on brass

    I know when I order flatbed printed brass from Gemini, they spray laquer coat it, it's not done on the printer
  14. Seal 54 EL issues

    Yeah we don't do a ton of laminating, so I didn't have a need for a high end machine, but I figured I would be better off with a entry level seal machine vs. a higher end no-name machine, turns out that is not the case. The machine has never really tracked well since day 1, but we always wrote...
  15. Seal 54 EL issues

    We have a 2 year old Seal 54EL laminator that has a problem with vinyl drifting when laminating. I called seal tech support and they are not much help, I was told to adjust the 2 bolts that provide tension on the spring, but the problem is still there. The problem is the vinyl will skew to the...
  16. Plastic 3 Way Sign Blanks

    Ahhh that makes sense. We have bought them from accuform before. I think I also made some out of Dibond using our fletcher stand up cutter with the v-groove bit
  17. Plastic 3 Way Sign Blanks

    Not sure what a 3 way sign is, but it sounds dirty...
  18. Stickers needed for little boy**Help **

    I'm mailing some Happy Birthday Bubby decals to him. anyone close o Graham WA? I bet this kid would love to see a "sticker factory"!
  19. Factory Produced Graphics... What brand?

    I'm pretty sure not all car brands use the same vinyl.....
  20. Secondary backup drive in case of hard drive failure

    So if you had a fire, flood etc at your shop, you could potentially loose 1 month of data? that is too much of a risk for me.
