I'm in the same situation. I started on the floor... now I'm the onlyone who runs the flatbed, laminator, roll to roll, cutter... etc. No one knows how to color match, operate the specto... do any profiling, etc. Theres about 20 things in my daily activities that no one else in the building can...

We charge for decal removal, but usually we bake the cleaning into the quote. If they bring in a vehicle drenched in mud... we charge them extra. We actually prefer they dont wash it themselves though... 9 times out of 10 they will goto an automatic wash and have it spray wax and everything on...

We always cut/scrape directly on glass... usually car windows, etc. Now you have me worried... We do have a ton of plastic scrapers that we use for car decal removals, but the metal scrapers are always easiest on glass...

Are you doing it on an account that sees ads? It is most likely a rogue ad. The fact it happens when people are visiting signs101, and not just randomly means its not likely an app thats doing it. Rather one of the ads in your ad network is causing this - Your ad network probably shows...

Oracal makes some of the strongest high tac I've ever used.. if it doesn't work, nothing will. Lots of plastics are oiled so they don't crack, or have lubricant in the molding process. he to ship them easier. We always use a blow torch for a few seconds on any plastic surface we know won't melt...

Most of our customers ask for removable vinyl when they want a wrap, or vehicle graphics. We cater to police cars, city vehicles, company vehicles, and not so much the end customer... So they're always pretty educated in what materials should be specced at. If we put on something that left a...

I have a 110 and just noticed it. It;s only on reflective, 680 for me - Everything I've printed has been fine... then I got some police cars to do... printed them, brought them into work to laminate them, put them through the cutter...and I noticed it peels off really easy. I'm hoping it doesn't...

"Lesser removal capabilities when compared to film IJ180Cv3 and IJ180mC-10 and may leave more than 30% adhesive residue" This scares me about the 175C. Leaves more than 30% reside of glue... thats a lot. A big selling point for 180 for us is it's removable... so if a customer wants a re-fresh...

If you have a good relationship with the wholesaler, I'd call and let them know. I wouldn't even call it tattling. Companies have policies like this for a reason. It may just be what they need to realize they have a loop hole, and get them off their butts to fix it. I'd love to call up Coke...

When I wanted to buy my own printer/cutter/laminator I wanted to see the prices of all the vinyls and materials, see if it was worth it to me. It took me 5 minutes of filling out forms, and I was a member able to see pricing from the 3 main vinyl suppliers in Canada. Only one called me to make...

Hate to say it, but thats why you stay away from refurbs :( You should have (Still can!) Buy a latex printer... Can get a 110 for around 10K. Probably cheaper than two refurbs that are giving you grief. Or buy a floor model from a reputable place! Grimco, Ndgraphics, Allgraphicssupplies all...

I can load a roll to roll, hit print, then spend the next 7.5 hours doing other work. Takes maybe 20-30 minutes to laminate/trim it down to 4 x 8s....Then it takes maybe 2-5 minutes to mount each one, depending on how heavy the source material is. If it's coro...we dont even bother laminating...

As mentioned... Both have their uses . All our real estate is direct print - we usually screen print the signs... Then direct print the name/variable information later .Saves a ton on printer ink... And your not wasting vinyl. Can print on a 48 x 96 piece of Coro in 5-10 minutes on a UV. On a...

I don't see it as any different than Safeway walking into Albertsons, checking their prices and lowering it. A price isn't exactly confidential... Most of our real estate prices are on our ordering forms. Long time Customers get a bit of a discount... but our prices are for everyone to see...

Agreed! Its affected his work quality also .We outsource some things to him... And let's say the quality is less than great. We had tons of bubbles in the print, crooked panels... Etc. When you only make 10-15% proffit on a job... If you mess one job up and have to reprint, that kills any...

The company I work for mainly focussed on traffic signs. Then a new guy purchased a small warehouse, and purchased a durst while everyone else was screen printing. They were able to underbid every single job because they had less overhead, and a digital traffic sign printer. I'm not talking a...

What are you sending from? Onyx, or cutting master? I've had this happen a few times. usually when I see it cutting off... I hit pause, or lift the rollers up.... then hit cancel. If you lower the rollers, or click ready again.. it'll do that. What happens is Onyx still continues to send the...

I think it's more of them passing the buck onto you. They had to get their file from somewhere... Likely from a client, and it's all they had. They don't possess the skills needed to get it to look good... So they hire out to someone who they think should have the skills. They might not care...

3m just released some outdoor dinoc. You lose some of the texture, and it's not available in as many patterns, but it's rated for outdoor. I'd email your local 3m rep and ask about it. A lot of people don't take advantage of their reps... But they're there to answer any question you might have...

Curious, since I'm in Canada... Do you guys get special pricing from uscutter, or just list price on their website? Some of their prices are good... Some stuff seems pretty over priced.compared to grimco (Canada's grimco, at least)
