  1. Printing on vinyl for coroplast signs

    I think name calling has no place on a professional forum and direct attacks on others such as in this thread should not be allowed. Answer someone's question, don't, tell them there's no way something will work, whatever, but name calling is not acceptable, IMO. And a merchant member that does...
  2. Print Shop Window layout

    If the blinds are always closed anyway, I'd use full vinyl print instead of perf. I have both on my windows to show the difference.
  3. Window Perf

    First perf job I did I bought out from a vendor and it showed up with no lam. I scratched the print with a felt squeegee during installation. Can't imagine what a no lam print would look like after a few times through the local car wash so now I have to wash the truck myself. No I lam all my...
  4. Our new toy!

    Very nice! I'll have to make a trip down and check it out.
  5. Help opening a .cdr file

    I get a "File Format Not Supported" when I try. Running X3 and very recently (3 weeks ago) updated Flexi.
  6. Do you Print / Laminate / Cut from home?

    I have the SW package, plus a 2' x 8' table to load materials in a 12.5' x 12.5' room at my commercial location. It is very tight. The layout table is in another room. Took two guys just to get the laminator over the threshold, going down stairs, sounds like a challenge. :) I'd build a ramp and...
  7. Here's a "What would you do?" for you...

    Cheaper to re-print. Shirts on the other hand, I wouldn't sweat that one if I was the customer, nobody will utilize it off there anyway. Magnets, sounds like you have that covered.
  8. Eco Sol on uncoated paper?

    I need to print on an uncoated, bond like paper with my Mutoh. Is there such a thing? I've been using Intelicoat glossy photo paper and the customer wants their prints on cheaper paper like we do their "blueprints" on. I'm not worried about the cost, I'm covered even with the glossy photo paper...
  9. Mutoh setup help

    Thanks all for the input, it is greatly appreciated. I assumed that too as I spent a great deal of time with my supplier getting what I wanted and didn't even bother to check the actual measurement, but I just measured the roll and it is the wrong width. Grrrr. There was supposed to be a...
  10. Mutoh setup help

    Just got our VJ-1204 from Signwarehouse in. Actually got it setup, on the network, and even sent our first print to it. Not too bad. Do have a few questions for anyone that might have the answers as the manuals leave a lot to be desired. 1. Media width: Trying to load on a 48" roll and it...
  11. Wholesale Card Printing Vendor Needed

    4over.com. Their greeting cards are 7x10" and include scoring. Then trim them to 5½ x 8½
  12. Mousepad from shop materials?

    Get a better mouse? My desktop for the last couple years is diamond plate vinyl. Pretty worn out where the mouse moves around and it still optically reads and works fine, except for the scroll wheel. Gave out a few months back. Logitech.
  13. Where can we purchase printed vinyl for wraps?

    www.azprosigns.com is a merchant member here. Mention signs101 and ask for Chris.
  14. Does anyone do regular printing as well?

    I have briarpress bookmarked. I also have a Miehle Letterpress, but haven't had the time to go through it to make it production ready. Easier to send out the few die-cutting jobs I get and I have another numbering/scoring press, so it just sits in a corner. I wish I had a C&P, much easier and...
  15. It's called ingenuity

    I built one very much like it. Still have jackets I made 13 years ago. I used heli-coil thread inserts through the lumber and nylon bolts for the micro adjustments. Sometimes I wish I still had it.
  16. What To Do If A Competing Business Undercuts You In Price

    Great link. Thanks! At the bottom of that article was another good one on How To Command Premium Prices For Your Small Business: http://mywifequitherjob.com/how-to-command-premium-prices-for-your-small-business/
  17. Any problems with this wrap?

    Exactly my thoughts. I think it's perfect as is. Better be a very effective message. Classic.
  18. Beer Brand Design

    Is that what you call those.. ;) What's wrong with sleezy?!?! Very nice sir!
  19. I will be unavailable from.....

    Blue Hole diving is a bit too advanced for new divers. Try snorkeling Shark-Ray Alley out near Ambergis Caye. Docile nurse sharks and rays to pet and feed. Wife could sit a few feet away in the boat and watch. Great stuff.
  20. How do you deal with vistaprint customers?

    Vista is what it is. What recently pissed me off was a stylist at a hair salon wanting the artwork file we designed for them so she could order her own cards from them. _____ off..
