It will be outdoors from what I know so I'll have to order materials for this since I don't do these kinds of jobs. I'd rather use a wholesaler to order the cut vinyl from and then just apply the application tape myself rather than ordering all materials for one order. I was going to go with...

Still working on the design and details of this thing but I want to do it as correctly as possible the first time around. Would it be wise to break these up into multiple pieces for ease of applying to the window? I was going to do the top text and logo together and then the bottom piece as a...

I'd say if you're looking for reliability, look to into an Epson machine, although I don't know much about their resin printers, their solvent printers are incredibly reliable and excellent print quality.

Customer asked for a couple of door decals (logo, phone number, etc.) However since I've never done this kind of work before and I want to do it as good as I can the first time. These will be exposed to the elements, at least one will be I know that. What are some decent (relatively lower cost)...

This was my thought after hearing a couple of people on this machine. My local Roland dealer won't even call me when I expressed interest into these. Another place had an early release machine and within a month the whole machine had to be replaced. I don't think Roland's layering feature is...

I think keeping moving physically is a good thing. You don't have to be a super athlete or do anything crazy. Some good strength work and mobility work, which is why yoga is really good. Never had any serious printing injuries other than some sliced finger tips form using a light table to cut...

I didn't intend to make it banner size for him. Just example to how it can clean up some images. Also I wouldn't use it for any text and would set the text again that way it's crisp.

Gigapixel might be worth an investment if you continually have this sort of thing. I get similar issues with people pulling graphics or their "logo designer" only supplying a PNG or JPEG for artwork instead of vector or something saved as for web purposes. Ran that image you had linked through...

So it really looks like there are 2 options. A Mimaki UCJV 300/330 (330 isn't available yet) or Roland LG model which is just coming out. What are people's experience with service in general from either company? I've just read a lot of gripes or complaints about Roland and how they've changed...

Yeah that's one why I'm considering a 54" my existing setup I run all 54" so I wouldn't have to buy different sized material. I'm just in a pretty small space is why I was considering the 30".

So I've been thinking about adding a UV printer so I can do spot gloss effects on stickers or short run label work I do. I have room for a 54" but it would make things rather cramped with it being next to my S40600. So I've been looking at the Mimaki UCJV300 series because I can get the 75...

2018. Definitely has helped me with a lot of wide format and vinyl questions.

Yes, unfortunately it is. Just trying to get this finished and to them. They have all their products ready and waiting for the labels. *bangs head on desk* Probably going to end up costing me a a lot of money with no profit on this one at this point.

Does anyone know a wholesale/trade print company that does roll labels and can do spot gloss and dull effects? I'm in need of a serious rush order for a waiting customer. The company I was working with neglected to tell me limitations of their process and the labels did not come out as expected...

This is why I never jumped right on getting one. I felt like the return may not be what I expect. Maybe just a simple site to streamline ordering and file submission for current customers is a better way to go about it. Thanks for the input.

Since I'm in a slow period right now I've been thinking about a website again. All of my business comes from a social media channel and word of mouth advertising. I feel like it's time to look into other avenues for helping keep sales a bit more steady. (no complaints as I've been very busy the...

I always get customers asking me to make stuff for small jars and such. (I do a lot of short run vinyl labels for cannabis businesses). I'll ask them what size they need it in and either I get a picture of a jar or they just say "small concentrate jars". Very few know the size or take a minute...

I feel like I'm right along with you on this. I've been operating about the same amount of time (3.5 years) and I feel like there is so much room to improve day to day things but I'm always so overwhelmed with work I never end up getting to it. (Also not enough work to hire someone either)...

Yes exactly. I'm doing my best dealing with it and when this job finishes then I'll decide if it's worth it. Right now it's a back and forth. I have to be more strict with my policies as you said. I take everything personally so I'm giving myself a hard time about it everyday that passes without...

Yeah that's where I've gotten to. I've done everything I can to make this smooth as possible and they can't even meet their own deadlines. At this point I'll do my best but I can make them move any faster than they want to at the end of the day. I just take stuff personally because I want the...
