Take some interest in her, and see what she's doing. I "Freelance" also.. I purchased my own printer after I started at this company. No no compete or nothing... I was hesitant to let the owners/managers know because I was afraid they'd feel like you do, and I'd eventually get fired. Then our...

Line up a couple chinese printers, book a flight out there and go take a look at them. You'll likelly spend $6-700 on a ticket, couple hundred for a few days... But we'd never buy a printer without seeing it in action, so the same goes for a chinese printer. Check out the quality of it... see...

I personally don't care if someone wants to do their own in house printing. There is enough business to go around for everyone. Everyday a new shop opens, and a new shop closes... This wouldn't be any different. I still think it's a bad idea - Just because of the logistics of it. OP's 7-8000 is...

Just to echo what others are saying... Yes, you don't need to be a brain surgeon to understand how to print. But there is a lot of stuff you need to learn. It's not like a desktop printer where all the colors are good / close... unless you do your own profiling, out of the box all your reds will...

The$1499 was for a small 12" one. I'd be more weary on dropping 10k on one. Don't get me wrong, Chinese products can be great... But there is so many times people have got burnt. Another guy bought a rolls roller type machine, that one became a 20k paper weight. The problem is quality...

Another thing to consider is the ink. UV ink isn't all created equally - a lot of people complain about their UV Signs failing within a month of being in the sun... And most of the issues is because of the ink. Our hps ink lasts years outside. We've never had a problem with a sign Failing...

Have a website? upload it there and send a link. Barring that... Make a new Gmail account for your company. you get 15 GB of free space to use... should be more than adequate in just sending customers direct links of stuff.

I thought it was just me... When I load 180 automatically, it does peel back and get caught. I resorted to manually loading also - A bit of a pain, but still. I also start the media past the feeders. I tried to start it where the printer wants to, and if it's a big job that usually works... but...

Hmm, I'll give that a try later! I like some ways Flexi handles Print/Cut better than Onyx, but there are some things I miss. It's probably just a matter of getting used to it over anything else. In Onyx You can do CutContour(Anything), I had CutContourPerf, and CutContourKiss setup in all of...

Well... Another stupid question I can't seem the find the answer to! I usually print a job with 4-6 inches of space in the front so it doesn't cause a media jam. Once the job is done, I cut really close to the Cutter marks to save on material. Only a couple inches, so if it can't be done it's...

His website doesn't work anymore... so I guess it didn't work out for him :( Getting a clientele is hard. Even when you know the business. I don't usually advocate outsourcing until you can afford your own printer... But this is one of the cases I think it would be good. I suggest getting a...

We had a customer who just moved into a new location, and wanted his metal baydoor wrapped. We design... Print, cut everything... setup a date to install it, get there and it wont stick at all. Normally it sticks at least a little... But we couldn't even get the transfer tape off. We told the...

And to add... just read some of there descriptions. This is from the same seller, same auction... * Waterproof Eco-solvent ink * We are the only seller who print your Artwork on UV Machine to improve the durability and Avoid fading of color's. So... what is it, UV, eco-solvent?

You can buy 650 sqft of banner for under $100 on E-bay. Even cheaper if buying multiples... that's 15 cents a sqft. These places use cheap bulk ink. They sacrifice quality for quantity... You can't compete. Let your customers buy from them, then when they get a shitty looking banner that's...

The adhesiveness doesn't change, technically. Cast is made by pouring vinyl into a sheet (very simple explanation). Calanderes is made by stretching/rolling the vinyl flat. So calendered tends to shrink... It's also thicker, and not as stretchy. So removing it causes it to break more easily...

Yes, ink savings is another thing. Our ecosolvent has a 4 liter jug that gets emptied/full every 2-3 months. 4 liters of ink on this machine is $700 - It does have other consumables mixed in, so lets say around $5-600 of wasted ink every 2-3 months. Even more if you're printing less. And the...

I prefer loading compared to our eco-solvent. I heard the newest generation has better loading than the older gen, so maybe you're using an older one? The small scraps is true though. Latex does do sheet feed... I just used a 12" x 30" piece of material to print an 8 x 24 condo sign...it...

Howe small are you talking? I print at 8P, and the small text looks much more sharper than our Ecosolvent does. Small text will always look bad compared to using a inkjet, just because of the technology. Wide format isnt really meant for small text... But if you use uni-direction, small text...

Yup.. we use bubbleX for these. It's really strong, still light and thin... and being smooth prints look way better on it.

Grimco has always been great for us. We usually get stuff same, or next day. There is always times when a certain ink is out of stock... But that's why you order ink before you need it, not the moment you need it. We try to order ink when we have 20% left - Sometimes that 20% will last us a day...
