  1. Location, location, location?

    Curious as to how much more exposure you will get there than your location that was on South Blvd. which is one of the highest traffic areas in the city. We are moving to 5600 sf. on 9/1 to make room for another flatbed and a new router along with all the other printers and residual stuff we...
  2. Looking at the Jetrix 3015.

    Gee... if i look over my shoulder I see a very large 72x125 CET flatbed churning away behind me...
  3. How do you roll your printed banners ?

    We do ours with graphics out with a taped hem and graphics in with a sewn hem. Either way - they always get wrapped with paper and sealed with a company decal and a printout of the banner is taped to the paper with the specs on it.
  4. UV Ink or Other?

    I print on .005 polypropylene for paint roller cover packaging samples with my CET and it works fine. helps having the white ink, too. Have to use only one lamp on low power, though.
  5. Looking at the Jetrix 3015.

    $140K - $160K, but I bet you could get them down to $120K
  6. Looking at the Jetrix 3015.

    What printer are you leaning towards? How pissed would you be if you settled on the Jetrix and found out they are leaving the US market?
  7. Router Questions

    Not necessarily so... depends on type of router. Graphics routers with vision systems use those file types - but woodworking routers use .dxf or .dwg files. You need to ask the router guy what to provide.

    Dude, You shoulda just called me... I have everything you need here. SM
  9. Retailers Ready To Force Consumers To Pay ‘Swipe Fee’ For Using Plastic

    For any customer that is paying with credit card - we just add 3.5% to the total quote and the "fee" is absorbed by the customer in the original quote or we add it to the shipping/handling charges if we are making containers to ship large prints. I go to a lot of gun shows to pick up various...
  10. 3m 8518

    Has the stated length of each roll changed to the shorter dimension? I mean instead of 150 are they now stating 120 - or whatever it is?
  11. How do you manage an employee who knows more than you?

    ...soooo... what have I missed?
  12. How do you manage an employee who knows more than you?

    Perhaps you aren't giving the respect he deserves by assuming he would lose all respect for you for simply sharing his knowledge and experience. Find out what kind of person he is by engaging him about certain small tasks that you know the answers to and see how he generates his responses. A...
  13. Am I Crazy????????

    I wouldn't even charge half of that. Would take all of 9 minutes to print it all on the flatbed and be done with it. Plenty of wholesalers will charge you less than a $1 per square foot for coro work printed UV. I don't know what to charge using cut vinyl or print/mount vinyl - never...
  14. Sticky situation : Controlling humidity levels

    I would kill for 73% humidity and I am in North Carolina. We crank two humidifiers all day and struggle to get to 50% RH

  16. World's Best Kept Secret - Sticker Vinyl

    If you are planning on running them through an inkjet printer - you will not be happy with standard paper company crack & peel. It doesn't have an inkjet receptive coating. It is made for offset ink or digital press toner. Make sure whatever you use is inkjet compatable and even then that it...

    Davinci Perception Wall Fabric BTW - has anyone used Davinci Perception Wall Fabric? Results?
  19. Removable Wall Graphics - aka like Fathead

    Wendy's is using Phototex for some table edge graphics now and every one of them in the store I was in was curling badly - and this is on laminated tabletops. I just think its a bad application of a good product. Those tables get wiped down 10-12 times a day with whatever chemical and that can't...
  20. Is it just me?

    I have the answer to all of this... Just like doctors and lawyers whose profession is described as a "practice" - we should deem the graphics and signage world as a practice because its virtually impossible to learn and know it all at any one time - thus the need for forums like this. Its...
