don't have time to read through but I use an orafol product from fellers. It's the red roll. It's the best stuff I've ever used. They have a 1" and a 1.5". I tend to use the 1.5" only because it's easier to fold over consistently. A little more money but saves production time which tends to...

I have found that using a bill collector instead of a squeegee has helped to avoid that. If you press too hard with a squeegee, you tend to get that "wet look". If you don't have one yet, make sure to get the bill collector. I have about 10 of them at my shop and in the few months I've had...

I can't speak for latex but I just made the switch to onyx from roland versaworks and I couldn't be happier. It's a little more detailed and bit of a learning curve but my prints look a lot better. Richer colors, better rip speeds, immediate printing, etc. My only complaint is that Avery...

We use managepayroll.com for 6 employees now but we started with 2 on payroll. It's cheap ($25 a month) and integrates perfect with quickbooks. Our accountant recommended it and we've been very happy. I also like how you can set your direct deposit to multiple accounts. I have part of my...

Not sure about the lam you chose but make sure it is optically clear. I use Avery 1360z. If it's not optically clear, I can assure you the client will not pay.

I've had this issue with PDF's in Versaworks. I do a lot of box truck wraps and they're usually about 300" wide. Now if I have a PDF, I bring into photoshop and flatten the file and save as a TIF. Shouldn't have an issue after that. I think the problem is that the PDF actually holds a lot...

I've had a ton of issues lately with versaworks and just updated to Dual. I haven't printed much with it but I haven't noticed any better rip speeds as promised by Roland Tech support. BTW, I have a i7 processor with 16gb of ram. The last straw was on Monday when I missed seeing my daughter...

I second that. Jim Miller is the way to go. He is a fleet killer.

I try to shy away form labor only projects but when I do take them, these are the terms. I don't warrantee it because I don't know if that material was printed with the right profile, gassed properly or printed 12 months ago. Vehicles must be street clean. I usually have them go to the car...

When we started out about 2 years ago, we bought a GFP 255c. It was about 4 grand and very easy to use. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles I would like but we've probably put about 100,000 square feet through it and never had an issue. I use a lot of different laminations and it takes...

I've ran into that issue before with client supplied files from corel and xara. I import to photoshop and flatten and that always solves the problem.
