Regarding your question about vinyl that can go over the curved/bumpy surface, you're looking for a cast vinyl as opposed to a calendared. It's a little more costly, but will take the bumps and lumps a lot better. Using a heat gun might also help get it into those ridges - but then you're going...

I think the cut vinyl vs printing can also depend on the shop workflow and setup. For example, if you've got your printer running all day and slip in a job, it will be laminated with the rest the next day and it's pretty quick. We run a XR-640 and no plotter, cause we're a pretty small shop. So...

Whats your heat at?

In terms of hiring, if you have staff you trust with good work ethic, you can always include them in the hiring process. They don't necessarily have to be in on the whole interview - they can join in for a pt. 1 or a pt. 2 and could tell you if they think they're a good fit to work with. A few...

I usually save as a .PDF and drag it into VersaWorks to print from there.

No worries, it looks like to me that this was copy/pasted into photoshop at some point. So if they have the working file, the original one, it may be useable. However this one really isn't printable larger than like 3".

This is a super small raster file. Like 2.5"

What we ended up doing is reverse-printed the pattern on a piece of scrap vinyl, stuck it to our work table, and rolled out some mask sticky-side up on top of it to hold all the letters in place. Then we placed all the letters (no pins, just letters) and laid paper over it, and then poked into...

Can you drag and drop other files elsewhere? I'm wondering if this is a file explorer problem rather than Versa's, as I've never had issues dragging/dropping in VW6

Ahh thanks folks!

Yeah when we first started or when it was slower, we'd take all sorts of odd little jobs. Now that we're established, we let people know the timeline for smaller gigs and our minimum orders ($50), and what is included and what's not (we used to be a bit more flexible with revisions, but a lot...

The knifeless tape is pretty sweet. I have to admit I wasn't a believer but our installer gave me a quick lesson and it's slick. The only other suggestion would be to run some masking tape down as a guide for a knife, but that seems like danger-zone. Yeah I wasn't getting a clean cut either...

Found a very Canadian example for you - I just shift-click the files I want and haul them over.

Are you not able to drag and drop them in? I always do with VW6. Straight from folder to the window

Sounds like everyone's doing decently, at least. We've hit our goals for the month - reasonable, since this time of the year is usually our slowest.

We've had so many issues with Grimco recently, the customer service has been very frustrating and if we get stuff delivered, sometimes it's pretty beat up. Usually they'd give a credit at least, though.

Hey folks, I hope you're all well. We've been tasked with removing some pin-mounted acrylic letters and re-positioning them to another building. We have made these previously, so we have the original vector files. I can think of a few different ways to make a new template to mount them...

Beautiful image! I can think of a few things this might be, or a few things that are related to banding. - Is it the start of a roll? Sometimes I find the first few feet may have glue/tape marks or other banding. We roll out past these on new rolls if it's an important job. - If the media is...

We get these requests every once in a while from restaurants or storefronts. A double-sided sticker is a pain for us, since we're not really set up for it. We'd need to reverse-print on clear, laminate with white, and then apply a print on the back. It's expensive. 100% of the time, we...
