  1. Some truth for you guys.

    Great way to start the morning and so many are so true. But I gotta tell you that I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read #33.
  2. Adapting your business in the coming year

    Decided to quit the business and collect social security while it is still available. After paying off $280,000 in equipment in November, we decided to sell out and close the doors. Opened the doors in March of 2006. About a year before the economy started to tank. My partner and I decided to...
  3. Company Slogans. Do you have one?

    We have two that we like to use. Looks good from here. We've done worse.
  4. You designers are all the same!

    That made my day! Thanks!
  5. Divider/connector for polycarbonate

    We have a client who cut a portion off of a 4'x10' polycarbonate panel. Does any know if a divider/connector strip exists that has 3/16" slots on each side so we can create a new panel to replace the old one? Hopefully this would keep the two panels together.
  6. Clear Focus Window Mesh

    Has anyone had any luck matching colors/tones on Clear Focus window mesh with vehicle vinyl. Eventhough we explained to the customer that you printing on 50% less surface, he expected the colors to match perfectly. Anyone have any tricks that can get the colors closer?
  7. Nazdar For Mimaki

    Mimaki JV 3 We switched to Nazdar about a year ago on our JV 3 and have had no problems. We save $20 per cartridge.
  8. Avery Super Cast

    Super Cast Thanks Randya.
  9. Printing on Sintra/Polystyrene

    Printing on Sintra/styrene We had similar problems when we first began in 2006. We have found the best solution is to clean with a product from ICC. We use ICC 437 and then buff the material. It adds time but it eliminates the problem of finger prints for the most part. Be careful what you...
  10. Avery Super Cast

    I know most of you are not big fans of Avery but we have used the 1005 since we started wrapping vehicles in 2007. Our trainer, Rob Ivers, recommended Avery and we have been pleased with it for the 40 to 50 vehicles we hae wrapped. We just got in the "new" Super Cast and it does not seem to...
  11. What brands do you use for banner stands

  12. Aaaaaaaaaaargh PopUP material

    Thanks guys. We'll give them a try.

  16. Boat Wrap

    SJM, I will have our installer respond on Monday. What do you mean by 18x material?
  17. Boat Wrap

    A big thanks goes out to all who gave us helpful information on what to use for a boat wrap. We just finished our first wrap using 3M vinyl and lam and it turned out great. Since it was our first boat wrap the only thing I underestimated was the time to install. We will post pictures next...
  18. Liq lam with bubbles in it

    We had the same problem using the Clear Shield on dibond for our direct to board UV prints. Call Clear Shield and give them the batch number. They sent us replacement gallons. It seems if that stuff sits on a shelf too long it will go bad.
  19. Jacking up a boat off the trailer

    We are getting ready to put a partial wrap on a 19 ft boat for a high scholl bass fishing team. We need to raise the back of the boat up off the trailer about 18 inches. Don't even know where to begin. Anybody have any ideas. I did a search but found nothing.
  20. Gatorboard Trouble

    We have been printing direct to gatorboard with our UV flatbed for about three years. There has always been an issue with warping and it seems to have to do with temp and humidity changes. We still like the materail but it seems lately that no one is stocking it. Have you tried Ultraplus...
