For us, many years ago, our techs were able to work the FC9000's into our workflow. We had a much harder time with the Summa software. The graphtecs work well, so we have not revisited in many years. From everything I read, I think you can't go wrong with either in terms of the quality of the...

We use the graphtecs for smaller stickers and kiss cutting. They do a great job, take up less space, and considerably cheaper than our zunds. The zunds are used for larger graphics, especially large thru cuts. For us it’s more about floor space than anything else. I’m sure summas are...

If you are set up to provide print ready artwork and, have a state resale certificate, and can prove your affiliation with the industry we’ll likely approve your account. If your a “Gift Shop”. I would say no, but if you’re a sticker and decal shop, we’d likely work with you.

I think sei makes a flatbed laser cutter, but I think for high volume die cut stickers you probably want to go to a roll device. Some kind of narrow format laser cutter. This is out of my current wheelhouse though. There are others that know a lot more I am sure. Check out our FireSprint...

I think the idea is that it takes alot of finishing equipment for single piece die cut stickers - and/or - alot of labor. The printing isn't that hard. Buy the appropriate printer. This was a few years ago, but I was probably thinking of a couple of zunds, which would creep up on half a million...

Never made sense to me either! Maybe an offset/guillotine cutter guy had a better answer.

The problem with using a caliper measurement like the way we present in our calculator, is that all the inputs need to be very accurate. The math checks out, but if you get off by a few mils, then it can throw a roll length way off.

First, let me say that we’re just barely figuring it all out. It’s a constant effort to get just a little better each day. In no way is this the “Right way”. Just the way we’re experimenting with today. You make very valid points, and for over 15 years, we loaded jobs onto carts, and wheel...

Welcome from Omaha!

We love our graphtecs.

We sell about 50% of what we buy in material. So a 675sqftft roll of material will yield about 350sqft of sellable product after waste for various reasons. 95% the waste is from the drop skeleton and webbing setup for efficient use of labor and resources. Load times for full rolls, or partial...

I'll ask about the drop detectors. We do have alot of automation in preflight. The issue is, we can print the same file on our Durst printers with Durst RIP, our Konica Minolta, or Brother Copier, or look at it on any screen, and there is no magenta drop shadow. Only on the Colorados. We're...

We have two persistent errors with all 3 of our Colorado M series printers. We have not gotten a solution out of Canon for these whatsoever. They send techs out weekly with no resolution. Curious if any of you have found a workaround that run these? 1.) Error 11526. As you can see, my...

We run that as our low surface energy vinyl. https://www.firesprint.com/low-surface-energy-gloss-decals/

Ground shipping is free on that order BTW. Thanks!

I use GPT alot. Multiple times a day. I have learned the best way to utilize it is like talking to a pretty well educated intern. All for documentation and written content, no artwork or anything of that nature. My process often starts with me asking it to create an outline of the idea. Then I...

This is going to be unpopular, and I’m not condoning it at all, but 99% will be ai generated within the next couple of years if the current trajectory continues. It will be nearly perfect as well. The little errors and issues will get resolved one by one until you can’t hardly tell the...

I agree with what others have said, but don’t undervalue yourself here either. Working with you and being appreciated at that level isn’t something he’ll find at a company with full benefits (in most cases). I have people working for me that I don't deserve either. A growth mindset, and a...

Yeah, the service contract is nuts. Hard to justify unless you are really running them.
