O-rings and dampers are something that should be on hand. Solvent ink wears em out. I had a seiko for years and got fairly proficient at maintenance type repairs to save cost of tech.

You have to start with very light coats over graphic so as not to melt the vinyl with solvent in your varnish. After you have a couple coats cured you van go at it like normal. I would of course experiment until I was sure of process before touching customers boat.I am not sure about the sign...

I've been screen printing for over 40 years now and I won't lower my price to the point that I would win most political jobs. I do some, but they are mostly short run (by printing standards) or for a local race. I just scratch my head at some of the prices I see occasionally. I've seen some that...

Most real estate agents run away when I won't race to the bottom of the barrel with a less experienced sticker jockey. Some come back after trying to do it themselves or having their teenager do it seven kinds of wrong.

Nail Salon much?lol

Wholesale Sign Superstore is the old Daniels co. Been using them for years. They make a good pan.

Have an old tootsie roll decorative can with hole cut in top. It's about 80% full, weighs about 8-10 lbs, lol. Twenty years worth of dead xacto blades in it. In the field I have an old xacto package marked with skull and crossbones to put them in in my toolbox.

Maybe have him export as ai file and use the same pallet as you do in his sl.

My fc7000 series is well over 10 years. only problem I have had is replacing worn pinch rollers.

I don't know about a band saw but maybe a deli slicer blade?

Have them contract to you for x amount of time. Take contract to your bank. Get proper equipment to do job in house. Take the opportunity to go after more customers so all eggs are not in one basket for this equipment. Prosper!

Nice clean cabinet for your first! Looks like you have a lot of good info already, just so you know, that is the last last clean, unrusted, not a trash dump for old and broken bulbs, no rat or squirrel nest having cabinets you will ever see doing maintenance, lol. I kept a small, old bucket...
