This made me appreciate our crummy laminator. I'll never complain about it again.

I do too, but not while picking my nose.

Yes. Between my ears.

Yes, actually. That's the reason a subtle burn is funnier than the lame memes and "jokes" that are passed off as humor around here don't do it for me. I'm not sitting behind a monitor picking my nose and laughing at my own jokes.

This got a good 45 seconds of audible laughter from me. Well done.

... I didn't think about that. Nooooooooo!

A+ dad joke.

I thought this was the "anything goes" forum? Signs 101 is becoming awful bipolar.

"Don't understand normal conversation..." Says the guy who can't make a post without resorting to ad hominems. Get a life, Gino. You're a fossil. I seriously can't wait for you and all the rest of the "good ol' boys" club to retire out of this industry. I'm tired of all the racism, misogyny, and...

Put it in the washing machine, don't put it in the dryer. [Edit: To clarify, as long as the material itself is washable, you can wash dye sub printed fabrics. I'm like 99% sure polyester lycra blended fabrics can be machine washed, but you just don't want to put them in a dyer. I'd be less...

30% humidity is pretty low, but I believe within acceptable tolerance for a Roland (I want to say it's 25%). I believe the "optimal" range for a Roland is around 76 degrees and 50% humidity. If Lindsey's suggestions don't work, I'd try getting your RH up and see if that helps.

Odd. What's your temperature and humidity in the area you're running the printer? Does it ONLY happen on that particular roll of IJ35 or did it happen on the other materials? Does it do with different files?

I tend to agree with equippaint more than I disagree, but I think you hit the nail on the head here, JTBoh.

Is he doing the installation and removal? Even cheapo laminate on temporary signs is better than nothing. It makes installation easier. It makes removal easier. It gives a measure of protection to the print. It increases the value of your product and your company name. I'm not trying to tell...

There isn't a way to say this without sounding harsh, but if you're not laminating printed vinyl, you don't need to be in this business. Are there circumstances where you don't want/need to laminate vinyl? Sure, but they're so few and far between that you shouldn't even consider them. Like JTBoh...

Then why don't you just move on? If it doesn't help you and doesn't apply to you, why are you even here making a stink? What exactly are you accomplishing by tearing down other people who are trying to help? Get a hobby.

Good to see how quickly someone trying to provide helpful advice is attacked by the angry mob. Thanks for providing this guide for anybody who might not have an idea of where to start when it comes to pricing. Could be very useful for some people.

Even just raised Rowmark letters would have made it look considerably nicer.

Hard to tell from your picture without seeing any other angles. It looks like a wavy glass/plastic face with a brushed aluminum back and cut vinyl letters.

Installers around here make about $15-$20 an hour depending on experience. If they can wrap vehicles as well, they can get paid quite a bit more. Graphic designers make around $35k-$50k depending on experience, if they only do prepress, probably around $35k-$40k and they'll most likely have...
