Just a shout out to the team at Watsons Engraving & Signage, they did a great job on the cable tags.

Or I suppose the other option is to print in reverse to clear vinyl and add a white backer to it. Is one method preferable over another?

Hey gang, what are your recommendations for material (print media, adhesive and laminate) for stickers going on the outside of bus shelter windows. They would be read from the inside. I'm guessing that I would print on a white vinyl, coat the front with clear adhesive for face mounting. Do you...

Just grime, that's interesting. Assuming standard durability it should be washable but who has time for that?

What environment are the sings located?

We always have to be careful when negotiating this stuff. Often the client just assumes (lack of knowledge and experience) that we will take care of things assuming that they are no big deal. Often these lapses will save one party but cost the other, we just have to decide which party we want to...

That's terrific, thanks. In the mean time I found another in Calgary, AB (http://www.engravingedge.com).

Came across this: https://www.cim-usa.com/products/metal-plates-systems/metal-embosser-550/ It looks interesting but probably not at a price point to handle low volume unless you are into specialty work or handling jobs on-site where the budget calls for this.

Taking a closer look at the picture they look like galvanized metal. I'm guessing the slots would be cut out begore the engraving. I wonder if these are available pre-cut. I made an error earlier as they are 1" x 3".

Good point.

I have a client looking for dog tags and lamacoids. Please see the image for reference. They are about 1" x 2" or so. The text is either etched or maybe applied by laser, regardless it has to be durable. Please see the image for reference. Client says 250 or so but the most recent request is...

You can always set up your own account(s) and have shipments billed to your account. When the product is ready to go out the door the shipper can select who pays or you can create and forward the label for them to print and apply to the order based upon the shipment details. This may help you...

What about price comparison sites like www.Flagshipcompany.com? You can compare rates for domestic service within Canada, US & international options, shipping times, pick-up priority, etc. FedEx or Purolator may be the best deal locally, but CanPar may be cheaper and offer the same service cross...

At the end of the day you have to figure who has the clout with all of the major couriers and who's paying the bills. The sales for Amazon (estimated to be 40% of online Christmas sales in 2021), WayFair, Alibaba and other online sellers went through the roof this past year with all of the $#!+...

Not that anyone asked, but you didn't really answer the question..."Why do you want to provide instructions?" Community service, reduce call-backs, marketing & sales...these are just a few reasons that may determine what you do and how you do it. If you are just trying to help your existing...

So, I've been getting some quotes in. And of course they are all over the map depending upon features. right now we are ranging from $24k CDN for a KALA Atlantic 1650 to $51K USD for a AGL 6400. Of course each of the higher end laminators have add-ons that can increase the costs. And there's...

Thanks for the reply, certainly can't beat the price. In our case I need the option of top and bottom heat for encapsulation. I should have mentioned that.

Good morning, I hope everyone is well. Today I am starting the research for a new laminator. Currently we have a GBC Falcon 60+ on the floor that has performed wonderfully throughout the years but the temperature settings are inconsistent and the rollers are in need of care. I can look at...

Wow, these are all great tips. Too bad I didn't save the file, as I said I was goofing around. Now, assuming I did save the file and was able to amend it, I had used the barcode for the cutting. Would the barcode not change with the new print?

So just goofing around and still learning the ins and outs of Flexi and our Summa D160. Added two items to Flexi, set it up to print 50 sets, thought I did what needed to be done and sent the file for print and cut. After the job finished printing and I went to RIP the cut, I realized that I had...
