Creative Banner or Orbus!

For what it's worth, we looked at the Roland Versa-Art 640 before buying our JV33. I know it's not quite the same as the VS640 you're looking at but the build quality is fairly similar. We went with the JV33 because the Roland just seemed toy-like compared to the Mimaki construction. We've had a...

Can you give more info on the failures you're seeing with the Oracal? What substrate/surface are they adhered to? Laminate? Heavy ink coverage? What kind of sun and weather exposure are they seeing? What printer were they printed on? How was the surface cleaned/prepared?

The designer is requesting the deposit "on behalf" of the end customer. And no, I'll sleep just fine without this client. They spend maybe $5k a year with us, and we have to work for it. They've always been nice people and we've never had a problem but they really aren't always the sharpest...

I agree with Dibond, around here it's cheaper than 0.063" aluminum and it's a lot easier to cut. It's more than PVC though, but it'll last a lot longer too. If you're planning on sliding this into a typical retainer you won't be able to use anything thicker than 3mm PVC, which I would not trust...

I actually don't have their name, I've had no communication with them whatsoever, from day one the designer was handling all of the logistics. We just got a check in the mail one day, like I said, it was a surprise to us, and irritating because they sent them our wholesale estimate. But it's a...

First off, I'll be the first to admit sending the template was probably a violation of the EULA. I didn't even think about it until it was too late. I actually don't even have a copy of it, I bought the BW system used anyway, which was probably another violation of it... Moving on. I fully...

Aaaaaaaaargh. Tell me what you would do in this situation... We have a client we do wholesale printing for, just a little design agency. They have a client that requested a wrap which they hired us to do. They were very upfront with us and said they've never designed a wrap before and...

Why not just use 3M IJ180Cv3? It comes in a 36" roll. That'll be a lot of unnecessary seams though...

It's not uncommon to get bad heads straight from the factory, unfortunately. I ran into this once too. I think we went through 2 bad heads before we got one that was good. I agree, one head strike isn't going to ruin a brand new head unless it was a really nasty one, and even then I highly doubt...

Be thankful you don't have a JV5 Kurt!

hahahahaha traitor.

How are you mounting the prints to the substrates?

+1, please check back in and let us know how it is. That's crazy cheap...

It really drives me nuts when I see people trying to scrape by on next to minimum wage by owning a business (any business, not just this one). It's stupid, frankly, it's a huge pet peeve of mine. Nobody works because they want to when it comes down to it. You work to make money. It's a means to...

You can make as much in this business as you can in any other business. If you're working 80 hours a week, missing family functions, not saving for retirement, not investing money elsewhere, etc. and only dragging in $25k per year you might want to seek employment elsewhere, you don't own your...

Nice work, looks great. You did it the right way too. Congrats!

Sounds like surface contamination to me. Can you post a picture of it?

What vinyl are you using for the wall graphics that are failing? How was the wall prepared? What kind of paint and what finish? How much texture is there to the paint finish on the wall? For wall graphics, lamination is helpful and critical for long term jobs, but for short term temporary jobs...

Fantastic! Roger's one of my all time favorite sign makers, his work is beyond top notch. The new site only makes it better! Bravo!
