Fellers has been great so far for me. They ship overnite from a nearby city and I have yet to be disappointed. Knock on wood. My advice to naysayers is to try taking their salesperson out to lunch next time he/she visits. Use the occasion to fill him or her in on your particular operation...

What is your source for that info?

When you say the "shop price was about half of what I'd proposed" are you looking at tangible things like inventory, fixtures and equipment? Or are you looking at good will, blue sky, customer lists, etc? Because none of those things are going to be considered by this client, I would...

We don't work up a sq. ft. price when wrapping. Doesn't make sense to me. As you yourself have alluded, much of the cost of wrapping a vehicle has more to do with the degree of difficulty of the wrap. They're small but curvy. The attached file shows how I proposed a wrap for a company with...

I would hope to have a piece of equipment after 5 years that still has residual value in the secondary market. My Roland is about that age currently and it's worth, maybe, 35% of what I paid for it. With the Gerber product, who knows. If someone can pick up distribution of a suitable ink...

I also don't like the idea. But here's another wrinkle. What are you going to say if he says the vinyl wasn't cut deep enough? That his employees had trouble weeding it? Or that the masking process messed up some letters? (his crew putting on the application tape) Too many things outside of...

Classic time waster. We get them too. Know-it-alls that proceed to tell us the facts of our own trade.

Can you tell me what the underlying problem is with the Gamut Skin? Is it an incompatibility issue with the 3M?

That's bad news for me. Was kind of hoping that the Omega fonts would not be a problem. I've downloaded the trial version (as someone here suggested) of Suitcase Fusion 3. Anxious to see how it performs. Looks like it's about $100.00 which would be a heck of a bargain if it works well.

If you're simply trying to quote this job, then which material you end up using won't matter much. Most of the quality cast vinyl wrap media and laminates costs are all about in the same ball park, and you can easily obtain those prices. So at this intersection, (since you don't have the job...

Jeff and I are currently discussing your idea. To at least solve on problem, namely when he designs something using different fonts than I have on my design station. Vice versa. We're definetly hearing the voices here raving about Fusion 3. Sounds super! We will take steps to download the free...

1) Bitstream is strictly a Corel application, right? 2) The wordmark.it sounds interesting. I'll check into that. 3) Regarding Omega no, we havent' done that. We also run two design statons with Omega 4.0. Our engraving dept. up front runs Corel X5 on two more design stations. We interact...

Searched the archives here and see some notes about Corel's Bitstream Navigator and also something called Suitcase. We use Corel, Adobe, and Gerber. Here's what I'm sort of wondering. 1) We have fonts strewn across disks, HD's, our NAS, and native fonts in their applications. 2) Is there a...

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, I'm afraid of that. Reflective is a royal pain to get off.

I don't remember him telling me this. My central question, however, remains whether you think they will come out?

Ok we applied some reflective (Scotchcal 280) on a newly re-painted van. I know, I know, but the client said that the bodyshop cures the paint in an oven and it's fine to go-ahead and do it. Well, we've got very small, but consistently patterned bubbles all throughout. I'm telling him that...

The VersaWorks RIP is a highly usable product. It's bundled with Roland printers for a reason. I don't think a company as big and reliable as Roland would put out a inferior product and expect sales of their printers to continue to dominate. Just something to consider. Regarding the...

I guess it's time to vote with your feet.

Where is the source file located? ie: is the RIP program having to pull it from a NAS somewhere? I'm thinking, and I could be all wet, but maybe the RIP program isn't slowing down, but it's a data communication problem. Or put differently, a data transfer problem.
