This is common. It's likely because they stock exactly 4x8 sheets. When you need something that's full bleed 24" wide, they have to cut it a little short in order to fit it on the 48" wide sheet. You mention they did this with vinyl, which that baffles me why they would do that. We do...

I'm going to go check out Fabtech myself for the first time. Just to see something a little different. That's in September in Chicago. As far as industry shows go, I had a virtual assistant on Fiverr compile a list for us. Here's what she came up with: LINK: 74 Sign, Print, Promo and Apparel...

A couple of ideas: Is the Magenta head covered in wet ink after the banding starts? This could be a issue with negative pressure. In other words, the ink in the magenta head is allowed to drip, causing a buildup of pooled/wet ink that can be jetted through. Try improving your negative pressure...

We really like Briteline Shield (Grimco) overlam for this. We keep a roll by the printer for this purpose.

Do you have a target price you need to be? Might be something we can work out with you? james at firesprint dot com if you want to discuss it.

Thanks for the kind words Cristian! Here's that hourly rate worksheet I was talking about. Had to find the link: https://www.signcraft.com/libraries/docs/SPG_Hourly_rate_for_Web.pdf

It's clear someone put in alot of time and money in setting up such a detailed price guide, but in the end it blows me away that anyone would use it. They do have a good article on calculating your shops hourly rate though. I found that useful. Tex, I do kinda feel like you have a chip on your...

LINK: https://www.signquotepro.com/webapp/ If you do, do you find the pricing useful at all? What types of things do you quote on it? Using the calculator, I figured the "Wholesale" price on there was about 10x what we charge at FireSprint.com on several substrates.

Not sure where in Canada you are, but these domains are all available: When I am thinking of a new business name, I always start with Godaddy to make sure the clear and precise dot com domain name is available. Last thing I want to do is to try to get my name after we blow up in business...

I think there are two issues at play here. Not sure if it's 50/50 or 90/10. 1.) The owner doesn't communicate in a way resonates with you. Maybe they are an asshole, maybe they have the wrong expectation, maybe they are just frustrated. 2.) You are not communicating in a way that resonates with...

Sounds like you have a great opportunity here. It also sounds like you like the racecar business more than the apparel business. As far as buying a used printer, remember that they lose their value pretty fast from new. 50% the first year and 50% of that each year after. I'm not saying don't...

Welcome!

You might try Kolorcure Metal and Glass Primer. There are alot out there. Troy Lesher will jump on here shortly I'll bet. Send them some samples of your material and see if their ink sticks. I'm confident they will test it for you. In terms of adhesion, digitech has some of the best ink I have...

It certainly pushes 3m products but the testing method is valid if you want to do some simple tests. Also, I can't tell you how many times I have seen someone complain about adhesive failure, yet they don't take the time to do a simple surface prep. I hear you about the secret sauce, but in...
