So I took my wife to the SGIA show in Vegas and she seems to be showing some real interest in getting involved in my business. She has no experience however she has come to the shop to help out a couple times in the past. She likes her current job but I get the feeling she's getting board and...

Cool. Let me know how the cheapo unit works. In my experience, there is no easy way to grommet banners. It's always a pain no matter what kind of equipment you have. I did like the Miller with the built grommet press. I didn't try it but it did look easy.

thanks for the input guys. Anyone else have something to say?

Common now, I'm sure somebody's got something to say about this. Even if you can only answer a few questions it would greatly help.

This is a 2 part post regarding banner heat welders. I'm really looking to buy a welder and I think I've got one picked out. Just thought I'd see what everyone else is using/doing before I make the plunge. 1 - are you using a welder? - If so, want brand? - Can you share your reviews...

Hey from the left coast!

I like it but I wonder what it would look like if you used a different color for the top portion of the truck.

I'm no expert with UV ink because I have very little experience with it. I did however do a few installs for another company that uses uv. Here's what I found and I'm sure others will agree. - Uv inks usually have a bit of texture which makes it hard for the lam to properly adhere to the...

Yeah, It seems like not a whole lot has changed - IE - printers still print, cutters still cut etc, etc, etc. It's the automation of these things that's pretty impressive. The self loading flat beds where pretty cool as well as the 16' printers that can print 3 jobs on 3 rolls all at once...

Careful, UV inks and laminate don't always play well together. Do your research before jumping into anything you don't understand.

Why do you need heat assist?

Hey BS, what welder and grommet machine did you buy? I'm interested in hearing what your thoughts where on the welders at the show.

What did you think? Did you buy anything? The show was a whole lot bigger than last year. Man, some of this stuff has come a long way.

You should probably laminate it. It will last longer outdoors and the color wont fade.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the IP's have to match. I'm pretty sure they should be different. Also, try turning the printers main power switch off and reboot the computer. I'd start with the power first than the ip address but you have turn the printers main power off to make any changes.

The lam is wrinkling? try adjusting the tension.

Heath, First off, that sucks. Alot. I know the feeling. I once had a job go south on me and I didn't sleep for a week. It still haunts me to this day. I also had another job go south on me and it was the same feeling. The only thing I can say to you is deal with it in the most professional...

I'm a big fan of Seal however do to budget, I got the Royal Sovereign 55". It's surprisingly a pretty good machine. I guess you have to ask yourself, how much lamming are going to be doing and is it worth spending the extra money.

Neighbor 2 doors down? Ouch. Plus you've employed the kid. That really sucks.

Never tried it, but I figure reflective might work pretty good in some situations.
