Are you saying you regret building your own FM solution? Are you guys still running your operations with a modified version of your FM solution or have you moved on to something bigger? I remember following along with your videos and getting really excited about FM, then I realized I just...

You mentioned Smartsheet a couple of times, have you tried playing around with it/talking to them? We've been using it for 10+ years, and as much as I don't love it and am constantly looking for a better solution, we're only paying $30/month for our current plan and it does the trick. We...

Is this a real quote? Hard to tell sometimes, considering he speaks at a 4th grade level and probably has the IQ to match.

Good to know, thanks. Hope you get that contracted sorted out without anyone getting butt-hurt, although if they're not aware of what's happening or familiar with the word "tariff" by now, they've been living under a pretty huge rock. I'll have to reach out to ND and see what they're saying...

That's good to know, glad to hear you're happy with the Epson flatbed. How is ink adhesion and cover? Any issues with poor adhesion or some materials showing fingerprints etc? Any substrates you just can't get to work?

Have you gotten official increase notices on 3M / Avery already? I was assured that they weren't being affected (yet) the other day....I'm wondering when that changed. I know 3M just had their normal unrelated increase but I was told it didn't affect anything that we use regularly. I know...

I don't think ND deals with Epson at all. We get ours (epson inks) from Spicers, which I'm (fairly) sure is (or was at some point) a Canadian company. I'd rather give Spicers, or literally anyone off the street money if it means not giving it to Grimco.

We just installed a 130W a couple of months ago and have one of the 8" AC Infinity fans CanuckSigns is looking at. Man that thing moves a lot of air!! It's mounted half way between the laser and the hole in the wall - I would think you want more pull than push, assuming everything between the...

That's fair. Sorry, I didn't mean to hi-jack your thread. I'm still not a fan of HP but I can see the appeal for some shops, especially if they've been on the HP bandwagon for a while. To each their own as they say!

Agreed. To the OP, you say you know everything that you need to do as if it's easy and simple, so go do it. I've had the same thought: "we have all the equipment - we just need more volume". It's easy to throw a bunch of machines and people into a building and call yourself a business...

100% agree. Never been a fan. Evaluated the FB500 10 years ago when getting into our first flatbed, opted to go with Canon/Oce instead and never looked back. Didn't get the RMO but if we wanted a "hybrid", I'd rather a true flatbed with Roll option rather than a belt-fed unit.

Good to know, got a product #?

Thanks for reporting back with your results, glad to hear you made some progress. When you said you were having problems, what was happening exactly? 90 degree corners weren't matching up perfectly?

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I guess they realized not everyone is willing to dish out the amount of monies required to get into the R1000/2000 price point. Personally I always thought they (R1000/2000) were way overpriced but then again I'm not HP fanboy to begin with.

He's hilarious. I would love to know if all his views actually translate to sales for that company.

What kind of marks/workflow are you using for this? We've recently started experimenting with cutting Edge prints on our Summa S140T plotter. The cut quality is great but running into some weird issues when printing w/ the small square OPOS marks. It will print intermittent marks first...

Thanks for coming out. Feel better after resurrecting an old thread only to yell at yourself?

We've been running and laminating prints from a UCJV for almost 5 years now. Heat assist is suggested/probably a good idea, depending on what you're doing. Our printer came with a Mimaki laminator w/ heat assist, probably because they knew it required it. I take it they've abandoned that...

There, fixed it for ya. :wink:

Thank God someone understands things. :toasting: I'm trying to stay out of this, but the ignorance and pipe-dream rationale of bringing all manufacturing back to the US or North America in general is astounding. I'm no economics major but come on, how can some people not grasp how...
