  1. Who do I contact for screen printing signs now?

    Well, I have been looking, too! Looks like firesprint it is! Just signed up on their website.
  2. Banner Stretching Systems Needed.

    What I do not like about the bannergrip company (alpine) is that they will sell to your customers online, no problem, for the same price. Great product, but they are a retailer of the items.
  3. Lowballers!! Aaarrgh!!!

    You are right on the money, Tim. We DO have an established customer base, and a loyal following, in our printing business. That will not change. thank goodness for those good customers! We try not to let them down and try to go that extra mile. I don't think the guy selling a set of $50...
  4. Lowballers!! Aaarrgh!!!

    Actually, I am getting that education right now! School of hard Knocks! I probably burn through three times the material as you guys do (and at least three times the time!), as I do want to deliver a good quality product and will toss out something that I think does not meet those standards. Of...
  5. Lowballers!! Aaarrgh!!!

    Yes, I know there are different materials, different inks, different printers. We use the JV33-160 60" with factory ink and he uses an SP-540v, unknown what ink. Since we are both in the general same area, other costs should be relatively close as we both have a storefront, electric, gas, etc...
  6. Lowballers!! Aaarrgh!!!

    Being pretty new to large format printing, I have been trying to take the advice given on this site about not worrying about the competition lowballing their pricing and how long term it will not matter if I price things the right way. Had a customer I had dealt with before want some work...
  7. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    Took it all apart, used compressed air through it and oiled it all up! Partial success! It definitely helped a lot. I had oiled it a few weeks ago, as per a thread here on maintenance, but I guess it was not enough. While the cutting is not 100% true, at least it does not look hand cut! It...
  8. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    OK, will blow it out, oil it up, and try it again! Thanks for all the suggestions! You guys rock!
  9. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    Force 25 (tried adjust that a little down from the last cut job, as I thought it was cutting a little too deep into the backing paper) speed 25 quality 1 offset 0
  10. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    ok, here is a pic. The bottom dot is the first one cut, the other two followed. Also shown is some of the letters. Had to take the pic at an angle due to the glare. These are SUPPOSED to be round dots! lol
  11. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    Pushed down as you suggested. Once it bottoms out, without bending anything there is no extra movement.
  12. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    they look round to me!
  13. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    what is the smallest letter size this plotter can cut? I will attach a pic in a few minutes.
  14. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    I extended the blade and spun it. The only resistance I can feel at all is what seems to be the spring turning. Is that normal? It is very very slight. Other than that, there is no resistance.
  15. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    Blue tip holder, yes. Well, the machine is used, and I think it needs a new blade. We have not used it that much at all. Before cutting the small letters, I had cut some larger numbers for an address this afternoon. They all came out OK. I am wondering if I am trying to go too small on...
  16. FC5100A not cutting right! Help!!!

    OK, having a problem cutting some small (1/2") letters on my machine. The cuts are not following the cutting path as it shows on the screen. It starts out cutting the first line sort of ok, but after that, it distorts the curve cuts. As an example, a round dot circle is not coming out round, but...
  17. White Cotton Gloves???

    Yep! Harbor Freight gloves is what we use. Have not dropped a roll yet, and they keep the fingerprints in check.
  18. ROLAND INK or THIRD PARTY

    WoW!!!!!!!!!!! A liter or two per color per month!!!! I can only hope to do that kind of volume!:notworthy:
  19. Wrap removal biz name suggestions?

    Says it all! Tells what you do and they will remember it! I like it!:goodpost:
  20. A little help in outlining?

    yes, as I said, could have stated it better, as I should have used a comma, not the period. Like $40 for the decal, NOT INSTALLING IT. I do like your etched vinyl idea, but do you think on tinted glass it would stand out? Well, when it is done, I guess I will snap a few pics and post...
