  1. Pink chrome vinyl creasing from heat.

    did he supply the vinyl? if so you only supplied the labor. Your warranty ended the moment the car was wrapped.
  2. PSA Roll Question

    Allways out. I may roll banner in for protection, but vinyl especially laminated should be rolled out. bad juju to roll it any other way. Even more so if you use UV stiffer inks.
  3. Draining inks from VP540 for move

    :goodpost: I moved mine about a year ago, did not drain the inks down. was without power for about 12 hours with no problems. Just tell the guys who are moving it what it's worth so they don't drop it.
  4. Is this Droppage?

    There was a time when everyone on this forum was a newb, even if for some it was many years ago. I guess it's hard to remember the frustration of having problems without access to a resource like this site. The repeated asking and answering of the basics keeps this site alive with new...
  5. I need some advertising sugestions

    Lots of great ideas here, one thing to add is in lean times diversify. Add products that your existing customers have to currently go elsewhere for; print, t-shirts branded giveaways like magnets etc. There is always something they need that you are in a good position to supply, especially if...
  6. Laminator?????????????????

    I have never needed heat and I have Rolands. One one or two occasions I have warmed the rollers a little with a heat gun, but all my laminates are cold lam. My own laminator is a Royal Sovereign, but any of the other reviewed name brands would do fine.
  7. static cling vinyl no print nice...how come?

    We no longer do static, never reached the end of a roll before we had to throw it out. Most times we can use a short term vinyl instead.
  8. Filial-support laws

    The end of the American Empire. If you ever read the histories of the Roman, Spanish, French, Dutch and English Empires, they all went the same way. Overhead became too high and they went broke.
  9. Filial-support laws

    So you can save all of your life and then lose everything because of a sick relative? Even if you yourself are fully insured. Imagine a country where everyone was responsible for the care of the ill and unlucky alike, rather than abandoning the weakest and poorest to care for themselves. Taxes...
  10. Printing Photos with Versaworks & VP 540

    Profiles. Unless you are printing pictures with extreme colours like flowers you should get decent results. if the colors are off you need to look at the colorspace and profiles. I usually flip images to CMYK before the rip. My headspace is CMYK and I find it easier to adjust tones that way...
  11. Hey Colorado you have any openings?

    War on Drugs, Failing for 70 years. Obama has to pay back the billion he borrowed and with 1 adult in every 31 is in prison or on probation in the US. makes China look like a holiday camp. But hey if Romney got in you would have a "Crack Down" on drugs and throw a few billion more into the...
  12. Today is free coroplast and stand day

    You must be sick of them given that the presidential race is three and a half years long. They will all be out again next year.
  13. Been around the block but still Green

    Why are you spending cash? if you lease you hold onto your capital for a rainy day. If you are afraid of lease payments in your overhead you need a different plan. plus right now there are really great low rates from manufacturers. oh and get a laminator, you really really ...really will...
  14. Would you...................

    This was a much bigger thing in the past before the internet and easy computers. The design belonged to the designer unless the rights were included in the contract (at an extra cost). The product of that work was what the customer got, whether it was signage, a flyer or a magazine ad. This...
  15. Web Designer Getting into Signmaking

    You will need to order a LOT more pixels.
  16. Credit Card Processor = Legal Theft

    What I really don't understand is why everyone pays into this racket. The technology is there to for the banks to transfer instantly and for next to nothing in costs. Yet we have these monopolies who pirate a significant percentage of almost every transaction (lets call is a tax for now, though...
  17. need suggestions on a supplier

    Gator would look slightly nicer, Ultra would be more durable in humidity (bow and warp). 1/2" should be fine. Could also stick it on flat coroplast for economy and lightness.
  18. 4Over

    We are averaging about 15-20 orders a week with 4over. Just a little north or Toronto, we mainly blind ship direct to the customer. Although something goes wrong in maybe 1 in 100 jobs, they are quick to reprint and ship if there is an issue. Quality is very good, register on the gold foil and...
  19. What is sandblast?

    or what I say when I look in my shorts after a day at the beach
  20. A lot of work for a low impact sign...oh well...
