  1. A crazy 1st for me...PR*CK

    When I get a call looking for the "owner" frequently I will tell them that I haven't seen the owner for several weeks and have not been paid, and about ready to walk out the door. That usually gets, a "oh, good luck, click". I really like the idea of putting them on hold and leaving them...

  3. Vinyl Slitter

    When I get in to the shop in the morning I'll take a picture of it.
  4. Vinyl Slitter

    While cleaning the shop this weekend and doing inventory I came across a vinyl slitter for making stripes. It is designed to mounted on a bench and has several adjustable knives. You pull the vinyl thru it, and there you have the stripes. I think I bought from Fellers (I have no idea why I...
  5. Chalky Painted Surfaces?

    I know this is an old thread, but need some help on a similar issue, We have a box truck with the white fiberglass sides that is chalky to the point the vinyl will not stick enough to pull off the transfer tape! We cleaned the surface with ghost off, alcolhol, and I even tried some acetone...

  7. Sales Guys.... Hate them? or Love them?

    Wow, I'm with threeputt and FireSprint. We are a long ways from any of the distributors so we rarely see many reps. I have a couple that call on the phone, but are always helpfull and understand if I can't take their call. We get a weekly delivery from one vendor and they have gone out of...
  8. Anyone have homemade racks under their printer to keep prints off the ground?

    I've never been convinced that the prints either vinyl or banners were dry enough for us to roll up, so we use a small plastic saw horse, sometimes two or three, with a pole taped to the top of them. We just move things out of the road and take the print out strait. Longest banner to date 70'...
  9. best fluorescent tube lights for print shop?

    If I read your post correct, you are looking at new fixures and bulbs. You might want to check with your local PUD to see what they have for relamping programs. Could save you some big $$$$, we recently changed over to a very bright bulb, 4 per fixture, really lit up the joint.
  10. Good thing I didn't need that $200 - yeah right

    Because of this happening on several occassions we have a policy that EVERY roll of printable material, banner or vinyl is labled as to what it is. It has saved us a ton of money in mistakes from someone grabbing the wrong roll and happily printing away. With so many different rolls we stock...
  11. Open for Veterans day?

    Always have worked it, either for the Man or myself. Can't rember if we got it off in the service, I doubt, always worked rotationg shifts (duty) or out to sea. Always print a bunch of Vet posters and give to car dealers and the military recruiters here and a few other businesses, and of...
  12. CLOSED OUR BUSINESS - Materials for Sale

  13. How do you handle phone quote requests?

    Wow, great ideas, work work some more on the script, will modify yours Tech, yes if it is a large job I go out to see them, most however are just one and ask for an exact price. We tell them again that it depends on what they want, want to accomplish, and with them and the vehicle here we can...
  14. How do you handle phone quote requests?

    Lately we have been getting a lot of phone calls asking for quotes for wraps. Good and bad news, good - interest appears to be increasing, bad most do not know what they want. The issue I have is without seeing what the vehicle is so I can find out what they really want to cover and talk to...
  15. 55" Laminators

    Bite the bullet and get a good laminator, used may be a good choice, just be sure and look it over carefully. We have a GBC Titan, in 5 years have now only ruined 2 items, both my fault. We started with the Diage and were so frustrated that I wanted to throw it out the back door, instead we...

    Never had to ask for font help, grrrr, but am drawing a complete blank here. Thanks in advance, Hal
  19. 24 ft by 5 ft

    Seaming banners in no problem, we do it all the time, HOWEVER over the street, the liability is too great to do with anything other than heavy duty banner 18oz and the correct size for the application. It is not your fault that they waited too long, while it is always hard to turn down work...
