  2. printing for larger companies

    Tell you customer that is not how you operate. If they want to charge you. Fire them…. I would never do that. I’m in control of my business and my money.
  3. Grimco Buys GSG

    Nope they are integrating them into Grimco. Switched a lot of my business from Grimco to GSG over the past year plus. For me Grimco service had sucked, delivery is poor. Pricing vs GSG was higher. So now I can’t wait for my pricing to go up not to mention the expected increases from the...
  4. What is experience worth

    Jack of all trades but master of none? It is great that you know how to do all of those things but…. To me, as an owner, it boils down to what are you doing on a daily basis. Are you the shop manager, designer, installer, etc. My lead installer is being paid more than others. More is...

  6. Carts for moving 4x8ft sheets

    A frame type carts
  7. Flatbed print onto ribbed plastic panel

    That is a “no can do”. Your ink droplets have further to travel, you have more area to cover, etc. That is why flatbed printers print on FLAT or virtually flat materials.

    Oh that is a tough one. I guess on how off it is.

    30 - 60 minutes for install. We require customers to bring in their vehicles clean. If not we charge a cleaning fee. Cleaning time - depends on how dirty it may be.
  13. Optical or Manual

    Automatic by far. We run roll after roll, multiple projects one after the other. Cutter automatically scans the bar code to pull the appropriate cut file, cuts job, etc, etc, etc.
  14. What software do you use to manage your business?

    I recently switched to ShopVox. Just add in your contact and in the proof add a check box that they have read and agree with you contract.
  15. Need Help Canva Files Won't Open In Corel

    Simple rule here….. We do not accept Canva files.
  16. Briteline Multigrip

    That is a product that is really meant for floors in my opinion. Don’t use Briteline. Garbage. I used this stuff in the past. Never again. Short term, removable try GF 226. Installs well on most flat wall surfaces. Just make sure area is clean. I’ve used 100s of rolls for temp wall...
  17. How do you ship large color digitally printed and laminated hood graphics with application tape applied?

    Attach to a 12” tube, box and ship. Regardless of what tape you use this happens but is reduced with a larger tube. We ship and receive graphics all the time and it is what it is.
  18. b2signs

    Suggestion…. Contact them and ask them what color space they require for their production and design in that color space. Just CMYK is not enough. I’d have to look at what color space we use but we have not had any issues with them.
  19. Food grade laminate?

    Not sure off the top of my head but check the non-pvc lamination. Also your ink is a concideration as well. That is where the latex ink work.
  20. Question COMPOSITE PANELS / DIBOND .......

    What process are you using? You sign writing. Are you painting? Not sure what you are asking about base layer…. Security measure in a door? How so? More information!!! This is like a customer saying “I need a sign”
