    Not sure what you mean here. Do you have some photos or a video showing what happened?
  5. Suggestions Poly-Board Vendor?

    Polycoat is literally a plastic coating that is applied to the paper stock prior to printing. A UV Coating is a clear liquid that is cured, generally over the ink. Polycoat is typically much more durable. Think about the difference between a film laminate and a spray on lacquer. Please...
  6. Workflow software

    I think someday we'll move towards helping others with software, but today, it's something that we simply couldn't support if we sold it. I would be happy to spend an afternoon with you showing you around our system if you come to town, but in terms of a starting point, I don't even know where...
  7. DeWalt Cordless Heat Gun

    Crazy they went cordless on heat guns! Just the physics of heat requires alot of power. The new battery systems pack alot of punch! Cool that they work!
  8. CNC for Cutting Eva Foam Matts

    I would think an oscillating knife on a zund would work well for that.
  9. VOIP Phone System

    We use vonage and are pretty happy with it. If you want integrations, you should check out ring central. They seem to have the most integrations with CRMs and such. Pretty nice to have a customer's basic information and previous job pop up on your screen when they call!
  10. Taking delivery of our new Summa F1612 next week, what else should I know?

    Pricing out cutting on a table is a very challenging thing to do. We bill by estimated average hour on our Zund. You win some and you lose some. If you have a very large job, we can plug in the file and get an estimated cutting time.
  11. Newbie

    Welcome!
  12. Output method for LARGE file

    Can you take a small section and test it first? Make sure the resolution and file output is what you are expecting. Just a 4ftx4ft section or smaller?
  13. Need Help Cutting multiple sheets on the flatbed cutter

    On our zunds this is called the park position and it can be set at the beginning of each job. This is where the gantry will go when the job is done. Maybe your machine has something similar?

  17. ROFL.... "Print" shops

    I think there are 3 different ways to make money in this business: 1.) Full service shop where you charge for installation and solid design services. Good salespeople and skilled craftsman. Outsource as much 'basic' production as you can, especially stuff like banners and yardsigns. Make the...
  18. Question What benefits are there to partnering with other small businesses?

    Is there some context here? As a trade printer, we partner with all of our customers, most of whom are small businesses. An outsource or overrun partner. We also work with many small business vendors to get the supplies and services we need to keep things running. Is this what you mean?
  19. Need a wholesale screenprinter for signs

    I'll look into this as well. Thank you for letting us know.
  20. Bad leadership

    I understand many of these feelings. Leading people is the greatest calling. It's the final, never possible to fully master, point of growth. You can master installation, running equipment, solving technical problems, marketing, finance, etc, but leadership will take a lifetime to simply get...
