You're welcome! Happy to help. I've always been a bit obsessed with these things and implementing systems and I hope it helps you guys and gals with working towards what you're looking for. Also wanted to share our editable PDF order docket - see attached. I'll usually save a jpg of the job...

Good post. Always a good idea to keep the end goal in mind, it's easy to get carried away and have too much detail. I've noticed there are always fields that get ignored when we/I fill out these forms - this will usually be an indication that it needs to be revised or that we should omit some...

That Time article was an interesting (shocking) read. Thanks.

I haven't, but if it's easier to work with than IJ180cv3 I might have to give it a shot. Is the price point lower? The 3M site mentions it is stretchable to 130% - but doesn't mention anywhere what IJ180cv3 can stretch. Do they compromise some of the conformability/stretch to achieve the...

Welcome from Canada!

Yes, this is normal for 8518. No, I don't like it or think it's acceptable for how much 3M charges for this "premium" product. It used to only show up in 8519 for us. Returned every other roll and 3M claimed they had never seen it before. So we dropped 8519 a couple years ago, now it's...

We've had a number of different versions of this over the years, and I'm constantly updating our quote sheets to include more/less information. I've attached a couple of versions we've used. I would still like to improve it further but for now we're using the "current" file. Feel free to...

I don't believe there is an offset setting but if it's going right on the edge, then it's doing what it's being asked to do. One way to get around this would be to add a bleed / bleed limit when exporting your print files. Another thing you could try would be to add margin marks with a small...

Will that design permanently stay on his arms................? :eek:

We use a custom 300x900 profile that mostly puts down decent solid colors, so I don't think that claim that you have to print 600x600 and up to print solid colors is accurate. Sounds like your dealer is making excuses for selling you a lemon.

Hehe, good answers here so far. All jokes aside....to answer your question, in order of frequency: 1. Laminating prints (who knew?) 2. Mounting prints, mostly to ACM 3. Applying premask/application tape 4. As a roll holder when weeding long runs of decals We have a 12 year old GBC Titan that...

Haven't tried printing canvas on our UCJV, but I regardless of the brand I would be concerned about the ink cracking/chipping when wrapping the edges. That ink is THICK.

Welcome from the frosty great white north, eh.

Definitely some good points there. I need to get to a point where the schedule is done the day before so when I/we get it in, you don't have to worry about what you need to start with/what the expectations are etc. I find having to do all that in morning definitely stresses me out and eats up...

This looks like a different issue - could be feed calibration is off or possibly ink starvation. What does your dealer say about that? I would get them back to fix it if you just bought the unit, even if it is a demo.

He's cheap but he'll drop six figures to buy a bride? I would question that line of thinking........

Sorry, what? ;)

Ever heard of or read Emyth? The "Entrepreneurial Myth" is basically just what you described - Technicians that are good at what they do and think starting their own business is easy and they can "be the man". Then obviously reality sets in and you realize just doing the work is only one small...
