  1. Window Perf Lamination

    Where was the real issue though. If you put it on and everything looks great, why remove it. I get that you painted the customers car now. So removal in the future will be a PITA. But why not just leave it and tell them when you want to remove it let me know and I will do it for free...
  2. Printing yellow on reflective

    Yellow is the lightest and most translucent of the non-light inks. This means you get a lot of the gray coming through. You hit your other colors because they are much darker and more semi-opaque. As the previous person said. Make a profile to account for the white/gray point of the...
  3. Double-sided Wooden Sign with Panels

    Not enough to quote really. You gotta do some more book work. Figure out your sizes. What your going to use to fabricate. What those materials will cost. The labor included. If you give a quote just based off what you have now your going to be screwed.
  4. Infrared-translucent/transparent printable vinyl?

    Sounds to me like those sensors are what tells the monitor where your pointed, angle, height, position in the room, tilt to your head. Any little changes to that would mess up way everythings setup. I would go with holes, not perf. Perf you will hardly be able to tell what you put on there...

  6. Any tips on getting vinyl to stay stuck down in body lines of Express vans?

    Watch til the end. Where he uses a ir gun to make sure the post heating is working. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D3g5agf3e0
  7. Pricing question on customer supplied substrate

    So if your cost per square foot has labor built in then you are already charging for labor. You don't need a line item to signify labor. You just need it accounted for in your cost. If the cost per sq/ft has that then you are good.
  8. Pricing question on customer supplied substrate

    If I printed 25 4'x8' panels and did nothing except package the vinyl and mail it off. So no mounting of any sort. There would still be labor included in the cost.
  9. Even line/object spacing??? Any tricks in Flexi for this?

    create the ammount your need. Select all and center. Then press j. This will bring up the spacing tool. Adjust your spacing accordingly.
  10. recommend a shear to cut 040 / 080 aluminum?

    ^^^^^^^Both of these or just about any similar.
  11. Latex 310 surge protector

    I would imagine they want the 110 like they want the 360. With a 20amp breaker at the panel. No need for a surge protector.
  12. HP L26500 Headstrike

    Increase vaccum maybe. Carriage might be loose? Pictures. Is it grabbing the edge of the material or just grazing the surface in a certain area. Pictures.
  13. Shock absorbers for a traveling plotter ????????

    Thinking about this idea again, you might have some issues with the side to side play though. The springs will help the up and down but it's going to be pretty loose side to side. Unless you have those bolts with very low wiggle room. Even then you might want to weld some little tubes on the...
  14. Samples / Proofs

    Depends on if the end job would be worth the trouble. We would most likely tell them yes. I try to do all our small runs on Fridays and I could squeeze something small in usually. So I would do it on something like that. If it's a material we don't normally use or something special. We...
  15. Tiny jaggies when doing ConTour cutting on a Roland SP-540V?

    Does the sound sound like you are perfcountour cutting instead of contour cutting?
  16. Shock absorbers for a traveling plotter ????????

    Mount plotter to metal sheet. Mount metal sheet to your stand with compression springs. Bolt through the spring and tighten for a little stability, But loose enough it still can absorb some shock.
  17. Contour Cut Pricing

    NOOOOOOOOOO. I paid $7,000 for my plotter and $20,000 for my printer. I can make the same sign with either one and both signs are the same price. The price should reflect the product produced, not the machine used to produce it.
  18. Contour Cut Pricing

    ^ This. Has me confused too. Why a flatbed cutter when all you need is a plotter. Get a Graphtec or vinyl express used for cheap.
  19. Wit Color Ultra 2000

    Sounds like an issue with the processing power of your computer. Specs on computer? What RIP software are you using?
