We try to combine multiple prints for contour cut or multiple banners on the same print. Otherwise... It waste a bit of space and you have to wait for the dry time. We have printed plenty of full banner rolls as one print. That way the last print is the only "Dry Time" needed. They like any...

We recently purchased a new latex 365 from BigFish here on Signs101. I've waited a few years due to some horror stories about the latex and I understood that it was new tech that could take time to build a great printer. My friend Justin has a signshop and he uses all HP equipment for this...

We also have a Vutek QS series. Vuteks are built like a tank and the heavy smoothing allows us to print at high speeds. We have had some issues more recently after a power surge and power outage with heads dropping out on long solid color fills. Just need time to service and troubleshoot it...

I was getting ready to buy a latex printer for wall murals, vehicle wraps, decals, and banners. Now after reading about the L360 and L560 series here having the same issues for wall murals it confirms my concerns from the past couple of years. I just have a couple questions for latex owners if...

I would look into purchasing a used Vutek. You can purchase them for about a 10% of the original price ($450k+). They are built to last for years and they can produce the monthly payment within an hour of printing on coroplast. Global Garage has the best options that I have seen for a used...

Facebook is an excellent tool for bringing in new clients. That being said... 78 B. How the world has changed. We have apps being sold for more than most of the sign companies on this site combined. The future is not going to be good to printers and that makes me sad.

We have been using the glass adhere a lot more after we got samples out. We now print using uv inks and love the results. We do not laminate the media... Much better than static clings and great for window wraps. Use the wet install method. Yes, it's a bit more expensive, but the...

No, I have not purchased the printer as of now. I was waiting to here back from a few more current/past users.

Great work. Fast turnaround. Great prices. Love Vector Doctor...

Tricky job... They can pay off or be the pain that you would pay to go away. I'm not sure what type of vinyl is being removed and that plays a large role in what it will take to get it ready for new graphics. There would be ghosting in areas that has no new vinyl coverage and some older spots...

Hello All, We are looking at purchasing a 2012 HP Latex 850. It has about 470k square feet printed on it. It looks to be in great condition and the seller had it decommissioned and ready to ship by HP techs. It's always a risk purchasing used equipment. We were lucky with our last purchase...

When we have issues with a panel we cut a test piece off and hang it from the mirror. If it stretches or curls real bad then we think it's because of too much saturation from our Eco-solvent inks in terms of coverage. We will try to reprint the panels if needed or time allows it. It makes it...

I have lost a few bids at $8 per square foot for semi-trailers. Few years back the money was much better on 53' trailers. Now the market is down in cost to win the bid. We have a local company that is based inside of Utility Trailers. They do great work and sell the wrap before it even...

You should sell me your GS series when you update or any used routers..lol. We have QS series and it's a tank that produces great looking images. I hear the quality was a big jump in the GS series and that's hard to understand as we never use anything over the production mode with heavy...

I've used Signs2Trade for a few years. They do good work and their prices are competitive. I was aware about the other company they own doing retail projects. Not a fan of competing with their prices, but they are trying to be competitive with the other online stores. We have two wholesale...

I would suggest to subout the prints. Use the time you would have spent producing the prints, laying the vinyl, and trimming the coro on other aspects of your company. Perhaps use that time to help generate new sales leads or working on more profitable jobs, when possible. The wholesale...

I pay $3 per square foot for certified installers and some of them are considered to be the best at what they do. One person wrapping a dodge sprinter with the roof in one day or a 34 foot box truck in one day. When you have wrap install only companies charging $3 per sqft that is the market...

I see 3 aspects of importance... Each will vary based on the client ranging from a small self owned business with nitpicking to the large franchise that is more concerned about color ranges and deadlines while viewing an industry standard install. Design Print Install The design quality is...

We have used phototex and found that it is the wall based media. It can be large sheets for murals or small cutout graphics. The only drawback with cutout is that I do not know of a transfer tape to help with the process of the install. So it takes a bit longer to install one section at a...
