  1. This is why you NEVER agree to do trademarked artwork...

    I would have turned the job down the minute he pulled out his toy truck, those types of jobs are NEVER profitable,you could letter 5 full size trucks in the time you spend dealing with these people's "fun little projects"
  2. Mutoh XPJ661UF - ADA sign printing

    We were inserting beads by hand, you are the first person I've heard of that has not had issues with the auto inserter either jamming or not quite aligning with every hole and not working 100% plus since we always had to drill the holes 2x, I'm not sure how the auto inserter would fit into that...
  3. Good Alternates to ShopVox Shop Management software

    From what i've read the main issues are the ever increasing cost and a lot of users feel like shopvox is not implementing meaningful updates / changes and instead are focusing on rolling out changes no one asked for. I ended up having something made for me in Filemaker by a developer,, cost me...
  4. Question Cast Vinyl Removal on Bullet proof Glass

    Bulletproof glass is just thick Polycarbonate I believe, so heat, and no knives!
  5. Mutoh XPJ661UF - ADA sign printing

    I've been using the Quill system for about 8 months now, I'm pretty sure I'm the first customer in Canada! We used to use the Raster system for years, and while it works, its slow and labour intensive, we always found that you would need to drill the holes twice, because if any little spec of...
  6. HP800 or Roland LG

    Have you found any that tick all 3? I was under the impression that all the major brands used lockdowns on ink
  7. EPSON S80600 issues...?

    I've had an S80 for 7 years, when it was brand new the prints were perfect, solid colours looked like cut vinyl. any time I've had banding it has been either because a print head needed to be replaced (ive had 2 replaced in 7 years) or because the environment of the print room changed...
  8. Any Canadians have experience hiring immigrants?

    I can't wait to see Dog the bounty hunter be put in charge of ICE, a cabinet full of washed up reality stars put into positions of power because they looked like they knew what they were doing on TV

    Do they drive Silverado's in Winnipeg? It's almost exclusively Ram 1500's here.

    do you have anywhere indoors you can do it? we have a few customers who have large indoor bays we can use, we either pay them or give them really good pricing on their next few orders.
  13. Installer Training ?

    Try something like the wrap institute, it's a ton of online videos by Justin Pate, he covers mostly wraps, but also covers the things you mentioned, it should be able to get them to a certain point and you can then evaluate how to proceed further
  14. F1612 + Onyx barcode question...

    Yes I've had this happen as well, in onyx there is a setting to add margin to the top/bottom/left/right of prints, I add 3" to the bottom and it fixed the issue.
  15. Customer sent me this ad/price

    That's cheaper than sinalite, not even counting the stakes, either they are sourcing direct from China, or they are breaking even at best. I know some shops will run things at cost during slow times just to keep their employees employed through slow times, but with the election coming up, I...
  16. attaching ACM to steel frame

    I would use VHB tape and try to convince the client to allow you to put 2 small screws in the top corners, painted to Match the background, no one will ever see them.
  17. What digital vinyl media can be wet applied?

    Rapid tac is good for some types of applications, I only use it when installing frosted film on glass because it's so unforgiving. It sounds like you need to practice your techniques more, vinyl lettering is pretty easy with the correct technique, wrapping is a very difficult skill if you are...

    For small car decals, we use either Automark from General Formulations, or Arlon 4600LX, for lam I've been happy with Arlon 3620.
  20. Sticker Mule needed a permit

    I've never understood mixing business with politics or religion, you're going to alienate 50% of the population and of the other half only a small fraction will care enough to make your beliefs a deciding factor of who to use. Up here we have the "F Trudeau" croud, and while I'm not a Trudeau...
