I've approached just about every type of business I feel qualified to serve for potential business. When I approached Starbucks, Subway, H and M and other chain stores I get the response, "you have to go through corporate" After following through a bit, that lead seemed colder than an ice so I...

I have been having drying issues with my blank ink on my HP 315. It does not completely dry in the most saturated parts. Yesterday I printed on the static cling. It was an image with a lot of saturated black ink. The black ink did not completely dry. This has happened with black and white...

I noticed that Oracal 651 (cad cutting vinyl) has a printability spec in their spec sheet. It says :thermal print capable. I am wondering does this mean I can run it through my HP 315 latex printer? I've got tons of this stuff for lettering but wondering if this is something that people have...

Anyone out there use a reliable proofing software? In other words a app, plugin or software that measures and displays measurements of a pdf or Ai file for customers to see what they are asking for? I have been doing this manually for years and it takes some time to do, now that I am getting...

I've been in the buisness for many years. Getting away is always a problem. I have people to man the shop, but if a big job comes in from a whale client I either have to go back or spend most of my time on the phone. I don't want to decline jobs because that just lets in the competition to my...

I use Quickbooks. Recently they had a bug where emailed invoices were not getting to customers. This caused major problems with my biz. Anyone out there have a different software they use? Quickbooks claimed to have fixed the problem but very randomly some of my customers are still not getting...

Hi there, I am looking for someone to come and help train me on my new HP 315. I find my customer support package insufficient for the amount of stuff I need to teach myself. You must know and understand the machine, SAI Flexi software, and know how to tile and should be a master on the...

I'm looking for a sturdy but flexible (if thats even possible) adhesive vinyl for a job. The job wall has lots of imperfections that the client wants to avoid showing, but they also need it to conform around baseboards. Any ideas? Inexpensive is also something they need as its a pretty big job...

Today while working I weeded some vinyl off the plotter (graphtec 8600, 4 months old). When I went to hit the cut material button I got a static shock and the machine held a continuous beeping. I turned it off and after that the buttons did not work. The LCD worked fine, but it did not respond...

I was wondering if there is a way to make a contact sheet on the HP 315? I want to send my customer a variety of exposures and saturations so they can pick the value they like best and I can match it exactly whereby cutting down on subjectivity. Any ways to do this through the FLEXi software or...

I've had several installs where my vinyl lettering will not stick without lots of tricky holding and peeling of the transfer tape. My research shows this has been due to certain types of paint, color and paint off gassing. The vinyl brand I use is Oracal 631 and 651. I don't really have any...

Hello potential salesman or woman, I recently was told by a client that I would get all of their work if I got my own printer. This would triple my biz. Only problem is I know nothing about large format printing. Regardless, I am buying my own printer.. new. I am keen on the signwarehouse...

I may need to buy a printer. My biz is growing and getting lots of requests for print jobs. I don't know anything about printing other than my clients will need prints on white vinyl, tiled together. I'm looking at an inkjet from SignWarehouse for $10k, but seeing there are Epsons out there for...

My brand new SUMMA S2 T75 tangential cutter is not cutting circles properly. It leaves a notch on the sides of these letters. Basically o's and dots on i's or any letter with a curve. I ran 20 yards or so of 1" Futura font through on multiple settings, relieved the head, switched out the head...

My sign company needs qualified installers in the NYC area for indoor vinyl lettering installation. Pay is $25-$35 per hour. This is not a part time or full time position. Jobs are on an as needed basis. Installers can take or decline jobs as they come. 3 consecutive installs work earns a $50...

I am trying to emulate VLXI through my mac on parallels. It's not working due to a authentication code warning. The vendor who sold me the software has re-set the authentication code and it still does not work. Any thoughts out there as to how to get this software to run via parallels. My...

I am contemplating buying a Summa cutter. The tangential cutters are a considerable cost, but they seem to be worth the price as it claims to be a better machine a better cut and better tracking and repeatability? The reason I am doing this is because my current plotter is on the out and I...

Anyone out there know anythning about press type lettering, aka dry transfer?It is used when letters get to small for vinyl. Currently I use a vendor for it, but its way expensive and now proving to be more of a headache than an asset to outsource. Any information on this, whether it be...
