  2. Blended Gross Profit Margins

    I agree with this. We run much closer to 10% net profit as a wholesale printer though. I like to have my accountant give us reports assuming that all our equipment will depreciate evenly month to month for 5 years (regardless of how we actually paid for it). Pretty rare that a piece of...
  3. Rigid roll vinyl recommendation

    We generally run snap frame inserts on styrene. You might be able to find 020 or 015 styrene on a roll. Problem is, it's not really intended for more than a few months in the sun. If you want us to help with this, here: https://www.firesprint.com/polystyrene/products/ You could also probably...
  4. This job scares me...

    Are you basing this all off of gossip? Full payment up front and make some money.
  5. Installing full bleed digital print on die cut magnetic shapes - Registration Suggestions

    I am having trouble following the text as well, but here's what popped into my head (Aside from just subbing these out to us) Can you try something like this? 1.) Precut a perfect rectangle of magnetic on your cutter. Say you have a 48" roll of magnetic, cut a 42"x42" square right out of the...
  6. glossy paper printing - keep glossiness intact

    In order for UV ink to achieve gloss there are 2 ways as far as I know. 1.) Put a UV gloss coating over the top. Either a clear varnish or a UV coat. 2.) Allow the ink to "Flatten out" which will smooth the texture in order to achieve gloss. If you think of each ink droplet like a little...

    Man it's hard to post a new thread using mobile. Anyone having trouble? I couldn't see the title box, I just had to guess at what I was typing. Using Chrome on an samsung/android.
  9. Fully Vaccinated? Drop the mask!

    They don't have the right as you say, but I like following the recommendations of the docs. My wife is a Nurse Practitioner (DNP) and a Professor of Nursing at Creighton here in Omaha. I follow her advice mostly. :-)
  10. Fully Vaccinated? Drop the mask!

    CDC Says "Fully Vaccinated" people can get back to normal! Basically, no restrictions. Man I thought this day would never come! Fully vaccinated means 14 days after your last required dose. Here's the link: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html#vaccinated
  11. What percentage of your work is outsourced?

    I think if you compare a busy, high volume shop that runs their own production, and are good at it, they will make more money when there's work to be had. The shop that outsources a larger percentage of work will make less money during these times for sure. The real advantage to the shop that...
  12. Need Help https://www.calmstrips.net/

    Geneva Olson So I got a set of these today. They are very nicely packaged. To me, I would run a white removable vinyl with a General Formulations 109 overlaminate. http://www.generalformulations.com/getattachment/4fe0a5d7-f8fe-4b46-a748-28a6255320c8/GF-109-Traffic-Graffic.aspx
  13. New Shrink Wrap Setup

    We have been testing that one and it seems to work pretty well. I'll be honest, our target is to help our resellers compete with the online guys like the S, Mule. That's how they do it. We have been kiss cutting and leaving the stickers on a rectangular liner, but we're just about ready to...
  14. What percentage of your work is outsourced?

    So true! There really isn't just one kind of sign shop! We have multi-million dollar shops we work with that have almost no equipment, shops that have tons of equipment, and everything in between. Some do signs of all kinds, some do signs as a side hustle, some only do very specific types of...
  15. New Shrink Wrap Setup

    We purchased a shrink wrap setup from Uline. Not gonna lie, I have been looking all over the office for stuff to shrink wrap. I think it takes small packages of signs, magnets and decals and takes it to the next level.
  16. Boxes...

    Our screen ink and flatbed ink come in really nice double wall boxes. We save those up anytime someone is about to move. In the past, I have also asked fast food places to save their boxes for a day or two. They usually oblige and I go pick them up.
  17. US: Large Format Digital Print Partner REQUIRED

    PM Sent. This is a tall order, but we would love to discuss the requirements.
  18. Masking tape

    With tape that tears easily, I'm pretty sure that's just old tape. Never had that problem with a new roll. Have you guys seen the microwave tip? I have never tested it, but the video seems convincing: ]
  19. Looking For A New Laminator

    We really like our GFP 563TH. On the lower end of the price bracket too. We're about to get another one. We run ours all day long.
