And pretty soon all computers will come equipped with a credit card swiper -like at Kinko's -and you can pay to use Photoshop or any other program by the hour
Don't want to get into a long drawn out debate about who makes the best retractors. I have already responded to that question twice now.. I think.
Everyone knocks off everyone else anyway.
I got some emergency stock retractors at last year's SGIA that cost me a whopping $19 each and for a...
I always do a search first, but you have to be able to think like other people to know how the topic was listed...
I searched under "anti-curl" and then again for "retractor media"
What did you search under?
Was wondering how those of you who have them create your pricing structure for cutting/routing for flatbed printing?
Is it by the piece or by the hour and do you always charge for cut path setup/manipulation?
Thanks
Was wondering what everyone uses to print on for a standard retractable banner stand that doesn't curl (media). God... thats horrible sentence structure.
Paper, Banner vinyl, PopUp melinex/polyester, Fabrics, other?
Just curious if there's anything new out there I haven't run across...
If they expect the wrap to last a year and they wreck the car - are they then expecting you to repair for free?
Just job it out to a latex printer and save yourself alot of late nights trying to figure out why Panel A doesn't color match to Panel F and then having to reprint a whole job...
It will print onto anything is what most sales idiots used to try to profess and to a degree it is true... but does the ink adhere well is the question you need to be asking. My flatbed can print up to 4" thick material, but I have never had anyone ask for it. Normally you will print no more...
Only the big 10 foot latex requires a webbed leader of about 54". It doesn't go back and forth to dry and it has to heat up so much to evaporate the water from the ink.
So what are everyone's thoughts on photographs of previous completed projects... but done for another company?
While working for a previous wide format provider, I completed a vinyl banner wrap of three large silos. My employer at the time never used any images for promotion of this capability...
You should have called at 4:30 this morning when I was redoing 4x8 panels on the flatbed that another vendor messed up! And yes... this was worth way more than $4500
Yeah... or a sewing machine or a Leister or a Banner Cyclone or your little brother.
I am thinking of the types of folks that would probably be buying the vinyl machine probably don't have $14K for a welder or $2k for a good sewing machine... but thanks for the clarification.
I printed eight 18x24 coro signs in the same 2:47 on my flatbed, but still a pretty neat tool for those that don't have a flatbed. Depends on your business model. I like seeing new things that guys come up with that might make life easier and allow for more golf time (or whatever it is that you...
Mosh is correct. Owing folks sucks. I paid cash for everything I have and no one is banging on my door for monthly payments - which is one less MAJOR burden not to have to deal with. But, obviously, not everyone has that luxury, so tread carefully with your dollars, talk to as many folks and...
$5 - $10K a month is low to be considering buying your own stuff.
You had better be in the $15 - $25K range before considering this.
I waited til I was in the $50 - $65K range and it got too much to juggle amongst multiple wholesalers and outsource guys. Now I don't drive all over the place - I...
Really depends upon your expected volume. If you are starting slow then an all-in-one print/cut solution will be fine. As you get busier - you will hate waiting on one job to finish cutting while waiting for the next one to start printing.
I would look at offline cutting with a Graphtec or...
