  1. We're Moving! - What should we buy/or not buy?

    Pallet racking for our flat goods when we bought our flatbed printer was awesome, still one of the best organizational purchases we have made. Our Fletcher FSC is awesome, we use that daily.
  2. Foamboard Cutting Rail Setups?

    What about cutting foamboard is difficult or not working? We don't use anything fancy to cut our FB, just a straight edge and a sharp #11 Xacto blade.
  3. News ...

    also not surprised. We have had nothing but issues. I can not wait till the owner has this POS paid off so we can ditch it and get a real machine.
  4. Car Wrappers

    wrappermapper.com
  5. Avery Wrap Class

    The point is to test knife/ cut skills. Knifeless is great but not always an option. The cut test is to make sure you know how to cut with a light touch and not cut the paint.
  6. Shop Hours

    We are 7:30-5:30 M-Thursday 7:30-5 Friday. Used to be open saturdays because the owner would do paperwork that day but people took advantage and started getting mad that we weren't fully staffed and running full production 6 days a week. I guess it depends on the size of the shop and how...
  7. Vehicle wraps in the cold

    Make a friend who has a space big enough to pull the vehicle inside. We borrowed space in a body shop for years before getting our indoor space. Traded some small work for them as thanks but they were happy to help.
  8. Storing Vinyl

    this is exactly what we do also.
  9. Need a printed sign

    If you can't find anyone closer we are in Milwaukee, looks like about 3 hours north of you. That would be a bit of a drive for a 4'x8' coro print but if it helps you out let me know.
  10. 10oz banner on HP 360

    I just looked and i run our 13/15oz on 20 for the vacuum. im sure it would be lower for 10oz. Lower that setting and see what it does.
  11. 10oz banner on HP 360

    What is your vacuum setting at? It seems counter productive but i lowered my vacuum pressure on our 13oz ultraflex and it stopped the bunching up problem we had when banner would finish. It may be worth a shot for you to try. I can look and see what we have ours set at if you need.
  12. What the Heck??

    I saw the same thing on facebook and laughed... Glad for the laugh and moved on.
  13. Rust Wrap

    Contact Scott at Skepple Inc. He designed the first two samples you posted. He is the rust wrap king. Have him design them and just install the wraps, save you a ton of time.
  14. Screenprinted Pint Glasses?

    Look into pad printing instead of screen printing. We do it in house, but again, shipping would probably kill any profit on the job.
  15. Question Motor home graphics

    Depending on what the graphics look like, for simple stripes and other shapes most RVs have we usually strip, run knifeless just outside of the sun faded area and apply new vinyl over it.
  16. How is business so far this year?

    Our normal day to day signs and banners is down from last year, but we have had a couple of big jobs come through this year that has us up substantially from the past few years. We are a small shop and seem to be turning away more and more of the "i need it now" people.
  17. What vinyl should I use?

    Even though the customer says they wont have the truck more than a few years i would still go cast. I can't remember how many times someone has said something is just "short term" and they have left it on for years. At the end of the day id rather use the cast vinyl and not have to worry about it.
  18. Hard Hat Decal Material

    We use oracal 3105HT with 290 lam for hardhat decals.
  19. Rant Crazy Prices

    We get a good price on our wrap and digital print materials and lams from fellers, i emailed our new, new, new, new sales rep/ regional manager (we have lost 3 reps in the past 6 months) for some translucent vinyl and the price they came back at 10-15% above the book price. When i questioned it...
