  1. Need some help with two banners...

    Spot on! :thumb: I've posted about this very thing. Banners have become a commodity like so many other things in our "world". The only way to differentiate yourself from the pack is having stellar customer service. When you are selling a commodity it is becoming more about the overall...
  2. Solvent print transfers for garments. Opinions please

    Check with Imprintables. They are a merchant member. All we've ever used is their Eco-Print. Prints beautifully. Zero issues. Adam can get you set up.
  3. Banner Pricing

    This^^^ Hmmmm...have you been peeking at our notes?:Big Laugh
  4. Factory vehicle lettering

    As humans knowing there is no such thing as a "free lunch" doesn't stop us. We have a tendency to bury the inconvenient facts to focus on the warm fuzzies.
  5. Factory vehicle lettering

    The distributor never charges for design, delivery or installation. Client no longer has to deal with copyrights, fonts, layouts etc... Rep comes in with all the marketing collateral and will build the displays and do whatever else to effectively market their product. It is a value added...
  6. Noodles & Co.

    Not to wet your picnic charcoal but I'd say you're too late. In my experience they call you. We've gotten calls from various chains project managers asking us to bid.
  7. print & cut roller running off on reverse - HELP!!!

    Time to do a simple check on how much pressure you're getting out of each pinch roller. Turn power off and unplug machine. Take a small strip of material 5cm x 25cm. Move a single wheel off of the grit roll onto the platen. Place material under the wheel and lower the wheel. Gently pull the...

    this^^^ OP needs to spend some time finding a new vendor.
  9. Factory vehicle lettering

    Wonder if this has anything to do with the 3M deal from a while back?
  10. Gearbox Vutek Ultravu II 3360 REQUEST

    Try calling the manufacturer of the harmonic drive. All the information is on it. Call or email them. Unless it is a proprietary Vutek unit they should sell it to you.
  11. Framed aluminum with a curved profile to match the building

    Thanks for the reply. Didn't know you could buy it pre-cut for bending. I need to get out more often.
  12. Framed aluminum with a curved profile to match the building

    Odd that a couple people posted regarding slitting, bending, then welding the tubing. Pardon my ignorance, but is that normal practice for theses types of signs? I just can't see how that is strong or safe. Seems like a lot of mucking about too. Personally I'd just by a roll bender, but then...
  13. Tubes for shipping rolled graphics - Recommendation needed

    We've been using the FedEx triangular "tubes". They are free and FedEx delivers them to your door. Beat that.
  14. Framed aluminum with a curved profile to match the building

    One of these is all you need: http://www.swagoffroad.com/SWAG-Tubing-Roller-HULK_p_89.html There are cheaper alternatives out there.
  15. Paint Damage from Wrap Install

    Have client sign off then. Here is what will happen. You will take care of the scratch you made, which will leave a gorgeous shiny area and the rest of the truck will look like crap. See where I'm goin' with this. You will be caught in a never ending downward spiral unless you set limits...
  16. Wrapping w/ Arlon DPF 4600LX Vinyl Film

    THIS^^^^^ IMO there is no such thing as saving money using a cheaper vinyl. In the scheme of things the price difference per square foot between cast and calendared is minimal. Using a calendared material will take more time as the material is harder to install. Design, layout, client...
  17. Laminating issues - not adhering to print vinyl

    For best results when using the Big Squeegee you need a solid, super smooth surface. With your current set-up you cannot apply enough pressure, evenly enough. We do tons of smaller projects on a piece of plate glass. Works a treat.
  18. Paint Damage from Wrap Install

    Unless you went through the clear coat you'll be fine. If its single stage and you didn't hit primer you're golden. Nothing a detail shop can't handle. If you weren't so far away I could "get er did" for ya. Proverbial piece of Baklava.
  19. Employee promotion advice needed

    What about COO. Chief Operations Officer. Can't get much more "officialer" than that. Superintendent of Operations works well too. As far as titles my brother worked for and attained Plant Manager status. Pedestrian name for what is truly a high profile position within the company. When I...
