  1. Oce Colorado just installed

    A salesman came to my shop yesterday and was pitching me the Oce Colorado. I was telling him I wasn't interested because its a niche printer just for wall graphics basically. He had a 18oz double sided banner print that looked very high quality but when I bent the banner the inks cracked but...
  2. Matte Poster Paper for Latex is HERE!

    The problem I have noticed with most papers is that they are to stiff or ridged and they tend to "dome" which causes printhead strikes. I understand that we want a nice thick paper so the ink gets in there without over saturation like on thinner paper. My question is does this paper cause...
  3. Question Customer refuses to pay, can I take his graphics down?

    Not much you can do because it is on their property indoors. What I would do in this case is email them a warning if the invoice is not paid in X amount of days a Mechanics Lien will be put on the property. If they don't respond or pay then call a lawyer to place a Mechanics Lien on their...
  4. When someone asks..."Is that the best price you can give me?"

    ....I already discounted it for you.
  5. Banner hemming & eyelet machines

    We had the RBW-1500 and it was okay going from hem tape. I quickly got tired of it though. The hems looked horrible how it melts then "roll stamps" the weld. We got a Leister ST banner welder. Man I wish I bought that first but I don't think it was out yet. It welds beautifully and very easy to use.
  6. Permit Fees

    I charge $250 for to pull a permit. I call it Permit Procurement Fee. It includes artwork, paperwork and drive time to drop off and pick up.
  7. Pre-made Parking Lot signs - Who's the best source?

    That is pretty crazy. He will put himself out of business with those prices. Until then buy them from him. :) Or try Hallsigns.com also try to add their coupon codes if they apply.
  8. Need Help Jobs cancel in the middle of printing, automatically on their own. Onyx RIP. Limited I/O?

    I had this happen to me when I had my printer hooked up to my internet modem. As soon as there was an interruption in the internet the printer would throw an error code causing the print to stop. I just had it hooked up directly from the computer to the printer. Since then and it hasn't...

    Very nice job on the sign.
  12. Need Help Any suggestions on metal brackets for a flag mount sign?

    Also I would suggest this instead of the style you posted. You said drilling wasn't an issue so these you would drill in. https://www.hooksandlattice.com/channel-sign-bracket.html
  13. Need Help Any suggestions on metal brackets for a flag mount sign?

    I would use an .080 aluminum as your substrate. I think the dibond would blow out due is not being very strong at the set screw points.
  14. Intimidated by new competition

    I think that shop looks really nice. The name is not that great though but in reality all the good names are taken. So many people so quick to knock someone else's hard work that they have put into their business.

    Also in the "Output Setting" drop down in the Rip and Print. Make sure it set to Use Color Correction.
  17. HP L26500 - Available Profiles are Crappy - Can't Get Good Red!

    I have a 3 series but my best red comes when I print Pantone 187c. Not sure if that would be better but there are a lot of reds to print and not just the profile to worry about.

    Also check your hold down wheels and lower wheels. They tend to get gummed up or vinyl stuck to them which may cause them to slip which may throw off the lines.
