For us 90% or better of the flat signs we do are printed, vinyl to weed and tape is just too time consuming. Banners are 95% printed, even just one color simple, again, labor time is a massive reduction when printed vs. cut vinyl. Vehicles we are about 75% cut vinyl and 25% printed, with a...

We use the line under the windows (or where the windows would be) on vans, usually strait and looks good with the van, if all else eyeball. Always a struggle to find the right line to use.

Last year had a lot of plans for many different areas of the business, but was unable to implement most of them. So have scrapped that plan as too much in two many directions for me to accomplish. For 2011 the primary plan is an increase in marketing activity, some of which has already...

Stripped it down today, and removed the encoder reader, cleaned it by feeding a cotton glove finger thru it to clean, it did not show any residue, but after putting it back together and doing a calibration was able to run 3 print and cut jobs with out any issues. Over the years we have had a...

That is a thought, I changed it a few months ago, will tear apart in the morning, thanks

Started as standard encoder problems, skewed printing, so two weeks ago replaced the encoder strip (new out of bag), and worked fine, then same problem with the printing, so cleaned the strip to no avail, turned it over and calibrated, and started printing in the morning, printing great, ran...

Looked at one of the trucks that have a box on the back that have scrolling advertisements sides and front as well as back. The truck also can be opened up so merchandise can be on display in it. The owner asked me if we can print the graphics for his truck when he sells the advertising space. I...

This is becoming a larger issue. We currently have a color swatch printed out on banner and vinyl material that we reference to, and have the client say what color they want then design with that color. We do not have the monitor calibrated to it so we have to be sure of the color that will...

Just a word of caution if you are considering the sublimation route, make sure you have enough demand/business to do it. Materials, ink, substrates, and equipment can quickly eat up any profits. We have a Epson 4800 that was purchased for sublimation, constantly had to clean the heads (read...

Not at the store, but working on marketing materials, web sites, and general paperwork to make the whole thing work smooth (I hope)

Would move to San Diego, just outside of Balboa park, or maybe LaJolla, that is if money was no issue. Lived there while in the service many moons ago, when a new house in a track was 19-24k, wow! Probably not the same life style now, but my number one choice.

Well another desktop ink jet printer bit the dust today, while cheap and the cartriges are not bad pricewise compared to the laser 2600 we use for proofs, they don't last long. Add to that when the ink jet printer is replaced it is yet another style of ink cassett! Currently we have 4...

A while back I received a fax from a company that did this, but I do not remember who it was, does anyomne know who does this, thanks

We too are in the hiring mode, I have a stack of apps to go thru, and at a quick glance most did not read the instructions on information to apply. I am sure some are good, but if they don't follow directions to apply, experience has shown me that it will only get worse when they are hired...

I understand your frustration with the Diage, we struggled with one for a year, ruined a lot of prints. Also go a new bottom roller, and still had issues, while the concept is good for an inexpensive lam option, a RS, Seal, or GBC is what you need if you are doing any lamination at all. The...

We are starting to get "orders" for hp ink cartridges with software from Texas (we are in WA state). I just delete the emails.

We have an Epilog, 45 watt in the shop, easy to maintain, and no problems with in in 4.5 years. Name tags, office signs, stencils. Steady small job runs.

Pepsi here does all the banners, and backlit signs too. They even have a dedicated truck to install the sign faces. If it is a resturant or anything they can get their stuff in, none of the sign companies have a chance at the work. Yep, pretty frustating to say the least, they give it away or...

Thanks guys, didn't get a chance to call GBC today, but will be in the shop early tomorrow to make some east coast calls. Used it a lot today, with the control all the way to the right, so I am hoping that it is just the control that I will need to replace. Will post what the suggested...

While laminating a lot of panels this afternoon reached towards the speed control knob and got a large static electricty discharge, stopped the Laminator cold! I checked the fuses, both ok, fiddled with the knob by turning up all the way, and now it is running again, but slower than before...
