  2. Branding companies....just dont!

    Thanks for that info on trade credit insurance. But I don't want another insurance payment, that when you make a claim they find ways to not pay. : )
  3. Discussion Does anyone have any experience with "THE BIG SQUEEGEE" Manual film laminator

    I've had these squeegee's since 08' They are taped, broken and sorry looking. But we used them everyday. I also have an aluminum squeegie that we don't use, cause our table SUCKS! Was flat for the first 6 months. But this building was a bar for 50 years and the moisture in the air is crazy.

    I have 2 clients that are 60 day or more. Hospital & a Non profit. They are both with us 12 years. We stopped all other accounts. Payments are in full, 50% down or on pick up. The one thing I learned implementing this process, was knowing that I have money in the bank. I'm more than happy...
  5. Changed out maintenance station for Mutoh 1624, no waste ink pumping.

    Thanks again Frank. So frustrated Saturday I closed early. But I left the head soaking all weekend. What I believe, my dumb A** did was, the night before I turned off machine and let the head dry. This morning did a head test. Perfect! Just finished running 3 posters and to my delight...

  8. Question Sign face down due to high wind advisory

    I totally agree with the "Act of God" <---Lost my canopy to a storm and insurance used this term on us. I've had a situation where red failed on a banner. Told the customer, sorry but after three years colors are going to fade. SMH how clients believe that we should mind their businesses...
  9. Window perf lifting in corners... solutions?

    We had an account B4 Covid where we changed out graphics, every three months. The only time removal was a pain was when the temperature dropped. We always carried a heat gun to help with the removal.
  10. Media Quality Issues Since COVID

    We been having issues with blotching on Durabanner (New media). We had 14 banners to print & like yours, you can't see the imperfections till after you print. Of course shows more with a solid background. WE thought maybe it's our machine, but used another roll and printed clean. I'm...

    12 pm today w are having a full blown meeting. I've been hospitalized recently I came back to see a fiasco. We do very well, but, can't seem to stop putting out fires. So we are implementing a new system that is an old system I learned 30 years ago. I feel like if I am out, nothing should...
  13. Advise on horrible customer

    In my business, I have fired 5 accounts in the last 10 years. One was an easy 45K a year and the impression I've made to my employees have more than paid off. I've worked very hard to get this place to where it's at. When you fire one you just replace them with another account. Hopefully...
  14. ROLL-X or CWT questions

    I was inquiring about using the App table for cutting. But I received a response that made sense. Sure can use it for cutting but replacement of plastic layer is costly in the long run. You didn't understand about table or Johnny 5?
  15. ROLL-X or CWT questions

    We are in desperate need of an application table. BUt it will require the 6' x 10' we have now to be {Johnny 5) disassembled. Cn we still use the App table for all function? weeding & cutting?
