We have the same cutter. It has always had issues and we finally just gave up on using it for cutting anything that has been printed. We also have a Roland print/cut so we make it work but the plan was to be able to free up the printer by cutting some smaller jobs with the Graphtec. They have...

Has anyone been using general formulation vinyl? One of my suppliers has mentioned it a couple of times and it is a pretty big savings per roll. We are doing a lot more repeat decals. Small stuff that does not need the AR. We usually only carry one calendared vinyl 3651 RA and just do everything...

I love this answer...I am going to write it down somewhere and keep it for that occasional PITA customer! Thanks

Why the dash cam? Here is why... We live in MN and were traveling home from a trip to N. Carolina. We were in a steady stream of traffic. We got pulled over (our speed was at 70) The highway patrol said we were doing 72. We found out later that anything 70 and over is a must appear charge. Ok...

Wow. Take this for what it is worth.... We purchased this as a working business coming up on 5 years ago. If that was the case we would have been out of business before we started. Seriously, I only own my job? You weighed in, that is what a forum is for but honestly this is the most bs answer I...

I agree with install complexity for price just curious on either the start price or average across the country. My husband is a darn good installer but has only done maybe a 1/2 dozen ppf projects. So we are aware the learning curve on it, like I said it's a bugger! He normally would have taken...

Just curious about doing full coverage paint protection film wraps. We have done a few but only on front clips or rocker panels or heavy use areas never a full coverage wrap. I passed on the project for several reasons this time (with no regrets)The big two being that stuff is great but a...

Questions answered Sorry, I forgot to answer the questions of stability. The business has been in town since 1995. We are the 4th owners and have been pretty successful. We purchased it with an extensive customer base and I have built that up in the last few years. The income is really pretty...

Thank you! Thank you all for the best wishes and the thoughts! Really do appreciate it. I have a unique situation here and while I do know that people come because of us I do know that 4 years ago they came because of our name (the business, Silvertips name because we purchased it 4 years ago...

Hi, We have owned & operated our shop for four years. We have made vast improvement in both sales and equipment upgrades. We went from renting a 1200 ft. Space to purchasing our own building in a great location with 3000 Sq ft. Great space! My husband and I pretty much do everything. Me in...

Hi! I am looking for a designer to join our team. Primarily doing the occasional logo design and vehicle wrap. I would prefer someone with experience. This would only be for the occasional gig. I have two logo requests and one wrap request on the table right now. Please send me your pricing...

Hi! I want to post for design help wanted. What forum does that fall into? Thanks!

Summa So far that is the leader as I mentioned earlier!

What else? Yep, there were a couple of posts that described set up scenerios. Thank you and I have noted them on my trusty notepad and I am looking into them in due fashion. What else? There are probably a hundred different things that I COULD do. A couple were posted. I am collecting...

Turnaround At this time we have a 5 day turnaround policy here at the shop. One of my selling points is that I can produce quicker and lighter and leaner than their current decal manufacturer. I am going to move that out some if we enter into this with them but it will be under 14 days.

Now that it is clear Now that is clear what I am after....can we please stick relevant info? You can call them decals or stickers or THE decals. I have a serious inquiry here that is on a very large scope and I am really hoping to get relevant answers. Thank you all for participating but I...

What do you call decals? What do you call them?

Eyes wide open! Thanks I have been working on this for months! I am quite aware that it could fizz out but I am working on this for a reason and I believe my reasons are solid. What the hell, sometimes things go south and I am not gambling all my eggs! I still have a viable business here and I...

printer overload For just one item that I have on file in the amount that I need (50) them in it will take approx. 3 rolls of 48" Controltac. Now multiply that by 10 and you have today's order. Tomorrow...maybe more maybe less but you get the idea. I know what I have and I will need a better...
