  1. Getting some business cards printed, What to put on them? Show me yours!

    I completely disagree with not having owner on the card. When I want to hand out my card to someone I want them to know they are dealing directly with the owner not just an employee. On my designers card it says graphic designer, on my installers it says installer/manager. I think titles are...
  2. Rebates for customers?

    I understand what you mean by hey why not just take $5 off of it. I'm giving you the best price already though is the way I look at it but because you spent XXX amount here is a free $5 for anything in store you'd like. Granted we do a lot of businesses compared to walk in retail but alot of...
  3. Rebates for customers?

    I wanted everyones opinion on rebates for customers. My local Ace Hardware gives $5 for every $250 someone spends and honesty its about the only reason I come back is because I figure I have $5 worth for free why not spend it. Now business is good at my shop but I was just thinking my shop...

  6. Kia Soul Partial Wrap

    Something we did over the weekend. Turned out well though I would have chosen a little but of a different layout but its what the customer wanted and we all know the customers always right. Either way had fun and it only took a little over 2 hours for install
  7. Quick question on Fellers banner tape

    Tuff & Tak-it are both about the same. I order a boatload from Fellers normally but have been ordering the banner tape from Grimco because it is the same price and instead of 36 yards you get 50 and it seems to be as good as any I've bought. But I would not order Orabond it feels to thin and...
  8. Ultra Flex Super Smooth 15 oz review...

    I recently ordered some UltraFlex Super Smooth 15 oz banner for a customer because it had to be a recycled material and I thought it was just great. I didn't know if anyone else has used this but I was wondering how it will hold up outside? It is only going up short term for a county fair so...
  9. My first credit card charge back! Woo hoo!

    Also a similar story here. A customer came in we did a layout for a simple trailor lettering and he paid the $400 in full down. We had him sign the proof with the date project was due on it and that was that. Well it was a special order material and it took about 3 days to get in granted we...
  10. Avery MPI 3300 review

    Just wondering if anyone on here has used this and if so how is the shrinkage and how does it last. We do a lot of short term stickers, coroplast signs and different things like that and I have used a ton of Orajet 3164 because for what we use it for it works well but I'm just looking at trying...
  11. Using some calendered material

    I agree cast is always the way to go but we do a bunch of stuff on calendered with the correct laminate and it will last plenty longer then that. I don't know why people are always down on things like 3164 or 3651. If it is laminated correctly and used on the correct surfaces there isn't any...
  12. Too much black ink while printing

    Hey guys im running a Mimaki JV3 130 SPII with flexi 8.1 and am getting way to much black ink. I have tried changing profiles and ink limits as well as linerzation and gotten nowhere. For example I was printing a 2' x 8' sign with lots of black and it is so much the ink feels raised. I...
  13. Looking to have Custom ICC Profiles made

    Flexi comes loaded with the different company profiles built in and I even delete them here and there and reload from manufacturers site to make sure they haven't been updated but it just isnt as good as I'd like on some color scales is all. The canned profiles work decent just would like it a...

    Hey there everyone I am looking for someone to possibly make custom ICC profiles for my Mimaki JV3 130 SPII. I am looking for a reliable company that you can send proofs to and then have them make them off of that. I was told there were companies that do that. I only need a couple basic...
  15. Never pat your lawyers butt in court...

    Maybe a little jailtime will stop him from slapping around a couple of women and thinking lots of money will get him out of anything. Though I'm pretty sure if it were a male judge he would off been off the hook.
  16. Anyone having trouble with GotPrint.com today?

    Haven't had problems with them today but I order from them 2-3 times a week for various business cards and postcards and have noticed that there shipping is very inconsistant. Business cards normally take 5 bus days and its been taking 7 -10 now, sometimes even up to 12. Then I just ordered...
  17. Installing prints on windows

    Have not tried installing wet. I never install wet since we laminate everything and it normally very easy. I worry that it could possibly cause me to scratch up prints to bad pushing water out since it is unlaminated?
  18. Installing prints on windows

    This may be a dumb question but we are doing some larger prints (12 to be exact) roughly 48" x 53" almost a rectangular shape and installing them on windows. The problem is we normally laminate them which makes it easy to install but because they are only up for a couple weeks the customer...
