For stickers I usually goto the cheaper online sticker sites for a base price- Oval stickers They charge $118 for 200 - 3" x 2" Ovals. On crappy material, with no quality control. We'd likely do it for around 75 cents to $1 each if we're slow. Decals that small... We'd likely try to fit them...

We use a different machine than you, so maybe your pinch rollers are different... ours is a hard plastic. And yes, our pinch rollers stay down 24/7. If they were a rubber material I might think twice, but being a hard plastic it's not going to get any flat spots - We've had our printer for 7...

Where on "Earth" are you located? As in... What will the temperature be in your shop? We have a 2 week holiday on X-mas also. I login everyday and print a foot or so worth of material. We dont leave our heat on... But it's usually just below freezing here. If you're in a very cold climate...

Put it this way. He does everything from quoting / invoicing, to artwork / production, right? Lets say he knows you make $10,000 per month. And you pay him $2000 per month. He can easily figure out material costs $1000, rent / utilities costs $1000, and thats $6000 profit for you, when you...

How textured is the wall? What kind of wall? Grab some vinyl and make sure it'll adhere good to the wall first. Depending on the texture / paint, it may not even stick. If it does... it all depends on the type of texture. Is it REALLY textured? Then 480 is a good choice. If it's just slightly...

Looks like the Alumaite. Alumalite Squeegee with Felt Edge, Aluminum Vinyl Application Squeegee I've been considering getting one... I always felt they were expensive too. How often do you need to change the felt on the bill collector / How much is it? I like the idea of the Felt one better...

We do direct print with UV - Never tried on painted aluminum... Mostly we do it on ACM, Coro, Occasionally wood, and plastics. We printed a little punisher Dibond skull to test a print and cut when we first got our cutter - We used a bonding agent and everything, It was mounted indoors... and it...

I dont think reflective vinyl lasts longer than regular. If you're using a cast vinyl, it should last the same. It also adds quite a bit to your price. And no, you don't need to laminate it.

You'll likely get longer printing on the cheapest vinyl and screen printing then you would printing direct to aluminum. You could use a cheap material like 3m ij-35, and print to it - you'll typically get 5-7 years out of it screen printing. We print directly to Avery and 3m sign vinyl. 30"...

Summa perf cuts right over the strip. It does chew it up, but from what I heard it doesn't chew it up so much that it's a problem, though I only have a graphtec so I can't comment on it. I just did 22,000 decals, all various sizes perf cut on the graphtec. Everything cut perfectly... Took a...

The thickness of them are all the same. The thing you want to look for is how many mm wide it is, and how long it needs to be. Our local supplier sells it by the ft - I think all graphtec models are the same width/thickness, it's just summas and Roland's that differ. But if you want to be...

We used to get typos all the time. We always fixed it - Whether we thought the blame was more on the customer, or on us depended on how we fixed it. If the customer spelled their name wrong, or website wrong... Theres nothing we could do to know its wrong. They signed off on the proof, so we...

Ah. I'll have to try again and see - I did notice it scratches off pretty easily. Too bad... a good 1/3 of our prints are on 3290, I think it'll be a deal breaker for them, and I'll be stuck with another crappy solvent machine. We actually had a Roland tech come in and try to sell us a...

Why can't 3290 run with Latex? I've printed a few signs on my home latex (110) using 3290. I did notice it wasnt too abbrasive resistant... but Laminate fixed that. Our shop is looking to buy a latex printer... And we do a lot of reflective, So I'm hoping I don't have to tell them Latex is a bad...

When I first started printing on my latex I noticed a greasy residue. Or some spots that weren't quite dry while the rest was. Latex won't dry if it's not completely dry - it's not exactly wet, but it leaves a oily substance. How do the prints feel on the locations the vinyl is coming off? Is...

I've done hundreds of wraps, maybe 20-30 on cars. I still want to pull my hair out on cars - every make of car has a new problem. Wrapping isn't easy, I still consider myself a newbie. You can probably do anything flat ok enough - but anything with indents, or curves... I'd say you'll be...

Our belt flatbed sucks at double sided.. at least for perfect registration. We have cut stuff then used printed vinyl - we do a few double sided 10mil coroplasts, or aluminum - we just print the design, applly it and then trim away the excess. That's fine for a few signs though, but if...

Not every router can do it - the cheaper models can't... The router needs a camera. Likely if you didn't know your router could do it, it unfortunately probably doesn't.

Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with banning Gino. I just wanted to comment on your comment.. ;) Isn't trump the one who wants to bury anyone who goes against him / what he says and thinks is right?

I always see people say not to use heat on glass. We always do.. a lot of window tint places do it also. Obviously don't use high heat when it's -20 outside. The point is to heat the vinyl up, not the window... A quick 1 second over each spot before you pulled it is enough. Weve used heat on...
