Cool!!! So create a folder. Put some reference artwork in there. Then send him the invoice and wait for the balance to keep going forward :thumb:

Bump :thumb:

Customers do not dictate my policies... This is the price we agreed upon before starting the job. That is the price indicated on my invoice. Pay me now please!!!:rock-n-roll:

Digitally print cast vinyl and use cast UV overlaminate. Mount on aluminum/pvc boards and your signs will last a good 8-10 years. For graffiti. Either lam again with anti graffiti lam or install a 1/8" clear acrylic overtop. With no experience with anti-graffiti lam my concern would be...

Hi from Gatineau. So it took you just over a year to introduce yourself from the time you registered... Better late than never :-P :thumb:

Bienvenue de Gatineau :toasting:

Hi Guys. Got an old Roland SC-500 that i would like to get rid of. Condition is not the greatest since it has not printed much in the last two years. I have been pumping it daily but it has been sitting idle for the last month and now print tests are not that good. Heads have two years of...

Make it part of your services. Tell customers that you can accept their photo images but if a vector conversion is needed there will be an additional charge. (i go from 65.0$ to 85.00$ depending on complexity). You can add value to that charge by informing the customer that you will give...

You could have done a hack job and just take off the letters and leave the left over glue on the door :thumb:

I would like to add... Are you optimizing your files as well? For what you are producing .. Do you need everything at 300 DPI? So many times i receive files that are over 1 gigabyte in size and all i am printing is a 24"x48" sign. (I am exaggerating but you get my gist).

You can get that polished finish by user a laser system with a gas hook up. Can't remember which gas it is but it does produce a flame finish on acrylic edges.

That's what i do also. And my offsite backup is a dual mirrored drive so i actually have two copies off site!! I also backup the Windows image file. I do that whenever i update or upgrade my software. You can never have enough backups!!

Edge media clamps should solve your issues with banding at the edges. For the center tunneling. That is very common at the start of printing on media. Just advance your vinyl another 4-5 inches or so and the tunnel should go away.

That's hilarious!!! :ROFLMAO:

In my best Schwarzenegger voice ... IT'S NOT A BORDER ! In all honesty, reducing the thickness by 25% would make it much better. It still would have presence without overpowering everything else.

Scrap vinyl goes in the trash. The miles and miles of 54" backing paper coming from the laminator we use to cover our table tops with, wrap packages, put on the floor underneath the printers when we are cutting stuff (to lazy to sweep so we just put a paper lenght down ... lol)

I always use Oracal 3651 and 210 laminate. Prints great, lasts a long time.

Try Beacon Lite in Ottawa. Also, i believe one of the guys is a member on this site.

The 3M stuff from Home Depot is crap i agree !
