  1. Need Advice on a Printer Purchase....

    I would go roll fed. Your going to be able to produce a lot of different products off the one mahine then you would with a flatbed. HP Latex are pretty plug and play these days. Print on almost anything and excellent quality. I would look into these. With that being said I believe...
  2. Installations in the City...Union?

    I was going to say isn't this what prevailing wage is for. When a city or company gives a union job to a non-union company they must pay prevailing wages or basically union wages. This makes the union workers feel like they aren't getting screwed over because they aren't getting under-cut...
  3. Banner Pricing

    Funny story. We were actually setting our banner prcing and ours is actually $4.20 sqft. When we made price it as 4.21 but the owner said lets make it 4.20 to keep it even. Sounds good to me.
  4. Custom cut .063 aluminum

    Learn something new everyday. I would have to say though. I would much rather go the pneumatic route.
  5. Banner Pricing

    I don't see how you could factor in design time to the sqft. price either. I could design a 12"x12" sticker and it might take me 4 hours because of the design. Or I could design a simple 12foot by 12foot banner and it could take me 10 minutes. So the 12x12 has to pay $144 for and the little...
  6. Banner Pricing

    Damn you guys are high? On prices and in life. We get $4 sqft. And when I bid this price I miss about 40% of the bids. This is no design, print, trim, hem, grommet.
  7. Custom cut .063 aluminum

    Do they even make this. I don't think so. Maybe a pneumatic one. 4ft aluminum can be a pain to stomp sometimes. I couldn't imagine doing a full sheet accros.
  8. Onyx 10.1 Ink Limit swatch printed grey?

    Are there 50 shades of it? sorry had to. Not sure. Looks like a mask over everything.
  9. Carriage cable flopping about

    How is someone supposed to help if you don't put the machine you are using. Also who is Service Manuel. Is he your Mexican service tech?
  10. Need some help with two banners...

    Nobody else payed attention to the fact that it is short 3 inches which is def more then 1%. 1% should be 1.8" this is almost double. I would tell them yes I read it but this is more the 1%
  11. SolJet Pro III - Grays Printing with Magenta Overcast (Picture Attached)

    Looks like a profiling issue as you have no problems when a test print is done. But only when the colors are run through your rip. I would suggest checking your rendering intents.
  12. Tubes for shipping rolled graphics - Recommendation needed

    Save the cores from your rolls as everyone has said. If not uline/ waxie/ office depot/ staples, they all offer delivery and online shopping.
  13. Does anyone have any experience with "offbrand" printers?

    I know there are a lot of people using the vinyl express plotters. They are basically identical to the Graphtec plotters. But I would have to agree with the next person up. Not many big shops go for them. If you know you can fix it and can wait a couple weeks for parts to arrive then why...
  14. Employee promotion advice needed

    Why in the world if you wanted to be a girl would you choose the name Belinda.
  15. Machine/Service/Supply distributor in SF Bay area?

    Why would they sell mimaki blades if they don't sell mimaki's?????? If they don't sell HP Latex printers they are not going to carry the ink.
  16. Machine/Service/Supply distributor in SF Bay area?

    I have had nothing but great luck with Grimco. Excellent pricing, delivery is always next day, the tech support for hardware is always great. They have a lot of people all around that will help solve your problems. And they have a location in San Fran. San Francisco, CA 2707 McCone Ave...
  17. Paint Damage from Wrap Install

    Never cut against paint.... unless your using a slide knife. If you can for sure tell it was from your cuts you might have to eat it. Or buy the truck from him.
  18. HP L26500 Ink Sludge

    Seems like there is a backup in your lines on the one machine. Probably partially dried ink from the heads. Or might just be due to heat while printing and then when it sprays in the filter it slightly dries. This might be a big reason why everything is contained in one maintenance kit now...
  19. Employee promotion advice needed

    Is he managing the shop or is he more of a production manager.
  20. B!tch and Gripe Session........................................... ....

    This is the shop full of 3"squares and 2"x10foot strips stacked under the table. If you account for it in pricing, you can just save the big pieces and toss the tiny ones. Too much wasted time, trying to find the right size piece and right color by the time you get it done I have two signs...
