Youve always seemed pretty knowledgable in ICC profiles. Did you learn from any resources, or just experimenting? I've read most of the onyx ICC pages, but I didn't find much to do with curves / ink limiting besides the default stuff. I'd love.to learn to profile better, but I don't have much...

You can cut vinyl with the flexi thats included. But if your cutting HTV, just know youll likelly need a heat press... A good one can cost close to $500! You'll want a decently built one, since lots of new hands will be touching it. The HP Latex print and cut is perfect. You probably wouldnt be...

How's the color management different? Even after profiling with spot Color replacement on, some stuff is way off... Like 123 yellow is so light it's not usable. I haven't done a lot of custom profiling or advanced profiling beyond making a good grey profile. So I'm sure it's likely us not...

Hospitals are limiting the amount of ecosolvent allowed in their buildings because eco-solvent inks been found to cause problems in developing children. Its something crazy stupid like a few ft. Now does that mean you can't do it and your kid would be fine? I doubt it'd really harm your...

Is it really hard not to read someone's post? Its the same as threads... If I see something that doesn't interest me, I just pass over it. Same with threads... If I go into a thread about something I want to read and see someone going off on a rant, or about something different... I just skim...

It all depends on how the heat is. If it's right above the stove... everything will warp. Bubblex is kind of like coro, but it's more of "bubbles" in the center than flutes... which makes it much sturdier. It's also a smooth surface... which makes the prints look nice. It is a plastic...so...

I had a real estate company want a vertical sign made. Its for Macdonald, so it has to be a certain layout... Not much white space to work with on them. Realtor #1, realtor #2, phone #1, phone #2, email #1, email #2, website, and a photo of each. I stared at the tiny space for ten minutes...

Bubblex Coro, aluminum... 30 x 38 isn't that big, lots of materials should be doable without warping. We usually replace restaurant signs every 1-2 years due to prices changing. Customer can buy some decals to cover it up for a few bucks... Or a quick edit to the file and reprint on bubblex...

They have special window film that blocks heat... We just quoted a job doing a whole warehouse in it .it's kind of a white, not quite see through vinyl. It still let's lightning but blocks all/ most uv/heat. Its also available in other translucent colors. I can't check the brand name right...

We do lots.of vehicle striping. You'll waste a little bit of material this way... But it's the easiest and saves us time. We cut in whatever length we want... Say 7ft. Then we add the space prespaced, and about a quarter inch of the next strip into the cut. Do the same setup for the other...

We print on it all the time with our UV printer... Comes out crisp and perfect.

I love to do vehicle wraps. Some people hate bumpers and figuring out the best way to inset in places too deep to wrap, but I enjoy it. I've done a total of zero full wraps for the company I work for. I've done plenty of bumpers, hoods, mirrors... Pretty much every piece individually, but our...

In America your allowed to talk about wages. I think the supreme Court said so or something... I remember google employees were passing aawage list around and google could do nothing about it. In Canada... We don't have that right. So while all employees frown upon it, they can fire you for...

Careful. Talking about wages in Canada can get you fired, it's not like the us. That's why I'm kind of cryptic and give a ballpark figure when I mention mine. The average pay in Vancouver for an installer is $15-20 an hour. Doing car color changes I've seen some adds for $30 from one...

Heat gun them If you can. It warms up the adhesive and liquids it for a better stick - it can also evaporate the water a little bit. So long as it's sticking, it should be fine. We had to install in the rain once... Wasn't fun. The vinyl didn't want to stick at all.. once you lay it and heat it...

Our company does proffit sharing. We don't see a chart though. They are open to how much they make - we get to see all the invoices as we handle orders, etc. They don't directly say we made xx profit this year... But they're open enough to tell you how much they make on every job, etc. I'm sure...

Depends! Most companies are like that. But there are a few that aren't. Some owners realize whether they make a million a year, or 100 million a year, they'll live comfortably. So they pass it onto their employees, so their employees do good work, stay happy which means increased production /...

I know how big of a deal it was - I know he could have not only lost the business, but also his house and only.source of income. It was before my time, so I don't have all the facts .. just what was passed on to me. I do know he has no wife, and 3 kids who also work at the business. So maybe...

Every year pretty much, business is up. Look at this thread, people claiming their business has doubled in the last two years... Look at the other thread on how business is doing, people have claimed it's doubled since last year also. The owner doesn't make a static xx per hour like an...

Every post I've made is how it's not about the money. You could offer me double my pay, and based on your comments just in this thread I'd never work for you... Even if you wanted to offer a 10+ year contract to ensure my employment. Anyways, I don't feel the need to defend our business...
