Any decent shop should be able to reproduce something the exact same as the first time. For the customers that need it done, we print a small enough sample to see all the details and attach it into our "Sample" book, along with the profiles, any color changes, print mode, exact machine we...

I'm going to go against the group here and advise against getting your own printer. Your main issue here seems to be colors / saturation. This is the hardest thing to do properly in our business, and likely why most of your cheap vendors keep sending you stuff you're not happy with. You need a...

7125 is on a white paper liner. 7725 is the exact same as 7725, just on a plastic liner... It's superior for cutting small text, and good if you're trying to align multiple colors since it's a see through backer... But that's about it, both are cast and use the same adhesive. Not worth the...

Ask questions, lots of questions. Most have probably been asked on this forum..So searching is your friend. Learning the basics is easy. Mastering iana whole different ball game. Learning printing, screen printing, and doing design work all at once is tough and you're going to spread yourself...

I'm very close. But filling out customs forms and going in and paying duties isn't worth the hassle! Theres not many trade partners out here, and its understandable. Why open up shop somewhere that has 1/10 the customer base,and charges 5x the price for shipping... doesnt make sense...

You should open a trade shop in Canada! Or start shipping to canada for cheap :)

We got rid of one of our 560s and gota 360 just to get the stupid traffic certification. It's annoying that 3M Hasn't approved the 560, even though its the exact same print wise... but before I go on an off topic rant. I HATE the old machines. Having to use a loading bar, the take up reel is a...

Latex :p What's changed for you with the latex? I love hp printers still. Their flatbeds starting to annoy me with their shitty quality control on ink. I've seen a dozen posts about bad black and magenta inks... I've had two of my inks crap out at 50%, our tech told us bad ink for hp is...

How heavy duty of a guillotine do you have? Cut into 20"x30" sheets until you.have a big stack... Cut that stack into 10"x30.... Then cut those stacks into 5x30. Rather than doing 1000 cuts you'd be doing a fraction of that depending on how good your cutter is. We use a sheer and do...

:););)This is a forum, not Reddit. Dislikes or likes don't mean nothing - forums add it in because it gives people a sense that what they think matters, so they get more invested in the forum and stick around. So long as your posts don't get hidden due to dislikes... No big deal! I never...

Thanks for the clarification! I can see a phone being strapped to the spindle being the cause of most of the stuff I pointed out... Cell phone cameras hate being shaked. It's good to see more competition for this kind of stuff. Ill keep an eye out for future videos, it'll be interested to see...

Downsides - You don't know what vinyl was used before hand. If it's a cheap 5 year vinyl, and the wrap is 7 years old... It could.fsil at anytime taking your wrap with it. Vinyl gets brittle in the cold and cracks - old vinyl especially so. Once that vinyl beneath starts cracking... It'll...

There's a ton of graphtec videos online... I'd watch those, it's how I learned. What issues are you having with it in particular? Is the cutting off... Or is it just a pain to get it to read the marks? It could be an easy fix. The new graphtec has a nice barcode system... It'll read the...

Buy a stand alone printer and a stand alone cutter. If you're buying multiple printers... you obviously have high volume, why buy a 2 in one that will slow you down? You cant cut and print at the same time.... The 2 in 1's are great for people with little space... but I can bet you 3...

Why are you upgrading, are you looking for more accurateness or is your 8600 broken? We've been using an 8000 for 8-10 years and it's still cutting perfectly fine. Are you using a latex printer? if you have heat up too high the media will distort and cause problems with the cutting. If you're...

Look at the way he has it setup for the Y - It's not a full cutout, it's just a half/3quarter engraving with pin holes. Then watch the video again from 1 - as the camera pans around, you see the rest of the letters are hollow... and somehow get filmed in black. I thought it was because he had...

Watch the video from 1:00 - It shakes so much... you can see the rough edges due to all the chatter when its cutting some of the pieces. You wont be able to get anything accurate from it. It might be a good little toy to learn with as others said, but thats all. The best part of the video is...

Problem is the guys supplying all the materials. The only cost is ink and machine time. We don't compete with wholesalers. But wholesalers will print on their material, hem, grommet, and ship it out within 48 hours for the most part, for less than this guy wants to charge a "sister company". I...

His material... Artworks all setup.. I presume he's going to hem.and grommet.. Good working relationship, and you guys would charge more than signs365 would charge for banner, print, hemming and grommeting?! If it's a guy you regularly work with, tell him to bring a pack of beers over when he...
