Yes, we have some that have been around for about 10 years and still holding up. What kind of primer and paint do you like to use? We have used a Kilz exterior brand that works pretty well.
We have been using 1/2" MDO for years on site signs and it works well for those applications. For long term use, I know they recommend using trim cap, which for a square or rectangle sign is fine but a custom cut one not so much. The manufacturer offers a warranty for up to 66 months on the...
Here we have our HP 330 Latex printer for sale. It's been a workhorse of a machine. Still prints nice and is a good machine overall. I've attached the usage report as well. Changed out the take up basket recently and retrofitted the cheap plastic stuff to make it a little stronger. We are...
Yes, we do a full cut through, single pass, just deep enough that the vinyl still holds on the sheet without falling out. Runs through the machine super quick. We also do stickers that have barcodes and hangers so do a kiss cut, hole cut(for pegs)and then full cut through. They are sold in a...
We do thousands of die-cut stickers on our Graphtec FC8600. And I mean hundreds of thousands a year of stickers for retail stores and t-shirt shops all over the country. We run our Graphtec all day everyday and yes, we have a tried and true method to doing the die-cuts so that they are barely...
We have wrapped quite a few tankers over the years. This one was probably the most challenging. It's a caterpillar tanker and those ribs stick out 5" or 6". When we wrapped the ribs, we actually had to lower that piece of the vinyl down several inches and view it from the ground for each rib...
Yes, we literally print on the white 651 rolls. Doing that today for a large exhibition. It prints beautifully. No need to use colored cut vinyl when we can color match everything to PMS colors for wall vinyl. We of course still use the colored cut vinyl for glass, etc but most the time we don't...
We use 651 in art galleries 10-12 times year, very small intricate text, paragraphs and titles, and apply it to the walls. We print right on the 651 for custom PMS colors, no lamination since it's indoors, and it give it a satin look when printed on our HP Latex printer. 651 is incredibly easy...
Yes, I will ask for their customer list and contact someone. I trust people on here though more than a salesman giving me someones contact info, hence me repeating myself.
They do have tech support, and phone support, their machines are built here(parts are sourced globally I was told, not just...
Yes, I have talked to them on the phone, watched their demo videos on You-tube and researched them. Now, I would just like to talk to an actual end user of the machine. Anyone out there??
Good to know, you guys have done some work for me in the past and always happy with the results. I've run a router at another sign company I worked for years ago and it had a camera, definitely a convenience having it. I've heard of Colex but don't know much about them. Thanks for the info.
We are looking into purchasing a router, the brand is Industrial CNC and they have a big presence in the sign industry. They are featured in Signcraft, sign of the times, Sign & Digital Graphics and have lots of good reviews. Does anyone here use one and how do you rate it overall? I'd much...
Hey, can you post the info about the XY cutter? I'm interested in this, so can you die-cut vinyl or is it just kiss cut? We have a Graphtec that we die-cut with but looking for an additional machine.
This was not pre-pasted. My guys do install about 25-30 wall paper jobs a year, not a ton as most people want vinyl. The old wall paper has already been thrown away so no chance of saving it.
Perhaps you are trying to be a jerk behind your computer because that's what weak people do. We are removing all of the wall paper and patching the wall. I'm refunding them as well.
We use customer supplied material all the time. Never have had issues like this. We did get payment for the first time around. The other times we went back no, we did not. I try to be fair with everyone I do business with and I understand it was our fault for going over the existing material. So...
