There is a non-adhesive window perf made for that. You print on the face then use double sided tape to hold in place. I know Fellers stocks it just can't remember the name.

This was taught to me by an incredible sign painter many many years ago: "Never put chrome on dark colors. Chrome is a mirror and mirrors only reflect dark". - M. Wauters

Never new it was that complicated to make a soccer ball. WOW!

Here we go boys and girls. My rant for the day. You can make all the excuses you want for sales reps, but customer service has gone downhill in many businesses. Absolutely no excuse whatsoever not to get back to a client in 24 hours or less. Land line, smart-phone(that's a joke), email, FB...

QFT. Minimums kill tire kickers faster than Raid on roaches.

X2 ^^^^ We expect a full report.

Seems to be a number of folks here quite happy with their $3K laminators. We run a Royal Sovereign, but it came with the printer. If I had to buy outright I'd get a $3K(or less) rig. Bet if you took a US Tech and that Mistral and stripped them down to their bare components you'd find them...

We give an estimate and it stipulates the amount of design work that is included. After that it's shop rate per hour. Client also has the option to buy the art outright for X amount. The per hour rate that works for us may or may not work for you. It is something you need to figure for...

Customer service is terrible IMO. Unrelated yet relevant example. Neighbors Dad wanted a fireplace installed in his living room. He liked the look of ours and asked about the installer. I said:"You're lookin' at him". If you have any questions just ask. He called three places, cash in...

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the input. Didn't realize some have a top coat that can delaminate. Hmmmm....maybe that's what buggered the first run? Maybe it will happen again since I used material from the same batch. Until petepaz mentioned it I never would have suspected the material. Just...

This won't help but, All I have to do lately is leave the shop. Every time I leave the phone rings off the hook and internet orders pop up. Wife says I need to leave more often...

Is there a mega sign shop by you? One that covers acres and has a couple hundred employees? I buy from the one in my area if I'm in a bind. Those big shops get polycarb on massive rolls and shear what they need. Just a thought.

X2^^^ To preface my post: I could care less regarding the latex/eco-sol debate. No different than asking what the best beer or truck is. Everyone has a favorite. You can take the following to the bank and thank me later: When I look at equipment it's Service, Service, Service. Best printer...

Hi Pat, Thanks for the info. No worries on the PM deal. I don't feel as frustrated now that you said 5 out of 8 seems about right. Have a ton of prints with no laminate and UPS just delivered a fresh batch of resin. Has a born on date of 4/30/14. Going to weed and leave on backing this time...

Haven't domed many pieces and have no clue why 3 out of 8 pieces failed. Printed on brushed metal polyester, outgas 30 hours, laminated, mounted to aluminum tags then domed. Up to the point of doming it went great. After doming it still looked good. Following morning 3 looked like they had a...

Orange Peel and a Lil' Chiseler.

Big money there. Water jetted/lasered marine grade stainless faces, returns, LED mounts and mounting pins. All TIG welded and polished. The list is endless... I get 45 bucks an hour to TIG and I see at least a grand just for that. If someone had the mega-bucks I think it would be a fun project.

Our Versacam is print/cut so we let the machine take care of it. Just punched out 250 laminated 3" x 4" a couple days ago.

In that case my recommendation has always been to get the printer from a place down the street with stellar service. Even if you have to pay more for the privilege. Eco-Sol, latex, UV they all have good and bad points. But there is nothing better than being able to have a rep there within...

Those work, but are super expensive. I used to build and install all types of ring blowers, chill jets, air knives etc... The tubular ones are the exact same construction as a glass pack muffler for a car(wink wink). Tubular units still need to get capped with a filter regardless. Most...
