  3. Need Help 3M 680 Reflective Bubbling

    Question for the OP. Is the material bubbling on one or both sides of the vehicle. While the car could be new it could have been lot damaged then fixed. Which would mean fresh paint on one side. Or if the lot runner was really "talented" both sides.

  5. Free estimates...friend or foe?

    Estimates are free and just that, estimates. I'll go on site if it's within my circle of viability. If it's out of range I tell them my trip charge, and I get paid before I leave. I've found it weeds out the tire kickers or those looking for the deal of the century. Not lifting a finger to...
  6. Fabric recommendations for HP L360?

    Contact BigFish he can help.
  7. Customer Pulled Over

    The law is odd and subject to interpretation. What about a service van that has solid rear doors? All they have are driver/passenger windows, a windshield and side view mirrors. Can't impair rearward vision more than that yet are still allowed on the street. I used to tint windows years...

  10. I am buying a large format printer this week, only question is which one?

    Get the one that doesn't break in the middle of a big job. I'm not kidding. They all break and at the worst possible time. My advice is buy local even if you have to spend more. You may save a buck ordering online, but try and get service. When your rig is down you want a tech on site in...

    If an Ai file how big is the artboard? Some RIP's use the artboard to determine overall size.
  12. Need Help Mimaki JV3-130 SPII Print is skewed?

    VanderJ to the rescue He helped me a lot getting my printer back in shape. My Roland was skewing prints also. First thing I did was make sure the encoder strip was clean and the encoder sensor was lined up. That wasn't it. Prints started to mess up really bad so I replaced all the ribbon...
  13. Question Are you a bitter, cranky old sign guy?

    Yes, I'm cranky ol....what was the question? Recently earned my right to the 84 cent coffee at McDonalds. Not sure how to feel about that...
  14. Rant Are you open on Saturday?

    Saturday if its a big pay day. Sunday too. Learned that from my dad. He always said to make money while its there to be made. Never know where your next check is coming from.

  17. Suggestions royal sovereign 54

    Watch your speed. I use 3220 lam on an RS laminator, and run it as slow as it will go. Very little if any silvering. What is there goes away in a short time.
  18. 3M Price Increase

    Haven't used 3M for years, switched to Arlon wrap kits years ago. The $300 bump to use 3M didn't make my installs go any easier or my clients any happier. YMMV
  19. What would you guys charge for a 3x6 color vinyl print with laminate?

    Depends how much additional labor to get their "perfect" file ready to print. No warranty either with customer supplied materials.
