Who does everyone use as their general tool & supply supplier? Such as squeeges, knives, magnets, tapes, etc...? Have been using Fellers and they are very pricey. I found one place about a year ago and forgot who it was and they were much cheaper. tia

From what I believe 210 lam is not optically clear. You would want to use an optically clear lam with perf IMO. We always use Clear Focus perfs and lam.

I completely understand that things can change over time, but I did just do a reprint panel for a job last week that matched the other panel wonderfully.... It had some of the greens in it as well. I just feel like something has to have changed drastically, like a setting or something, but of...

I am running mutoh inks... Same inks since day 1. I just got off of the phone with Fellers equipment support and he is telling me it is likely the environment (humidity to be exact).... I just dont buy that???

I have also test printed a file that was printed more recently and it is washed as well... So something has changed very recently. I know alot can change in 2 years, but it is doing it in recent files as well

I printed a truck wrap a couple years ago and now doing another and I printed from the same file and the green is now like a chartreuse. Using flexi and a mutoh 1624. Cant figure out what has happeneed??

Working on an estimate and layout for a 38' cigarette powerboat. The boat is 38' long and is 41" tall at its tallest point on the side of the boat. I am questioning should I put a seam in it or not. I have done 21' bass boats with no seams, but am a bit worried about laminating 38'! If...

Hey guys pretty much new to the forums here. We do wraps and signs, but a great deal of our sales are t-shirts as well. I have a school that is interested in having us as their supplier for school spirit wear. They have used an online store in the past. Is there a service out there where I...

The contour cut is off. Most of the time it will read all the marks fine but the cut is still off

Hi I am printing 3M IJ680 and am having a hell of a time getting the contour cut right. I am using a vinyl express Q54 plotter and flexi software. I am all but certain that it is an issue with the media and not equipment. Here are some things I have tried. I am laminating it as well so I have...

I guess the biggest problem that I am running against is everyone loves the idea and what it looks like but no one will lay out the cash. It's like I can't close the deal. I am in a rural area and guess that I need to go to town. How about outdoor shows? Thanks for the thoughts

Hey guys fairly new here. I've been in the biz for about 3 years. Most of our work has been smalls.... Banners, signs, small vehicle graphics. We have recently did a half wrap on our truck and some smaller wrapping like the front end of a '55 ford. my biggest question here is I want to get...

Q54 I have been using the q54 for 4 years now. I love it. Very fast and accurate. I also have a graftec ce 5000. I have used the graftec 2 times and just hate it. It will not perf cut. I like to use only 1 piece of equipment at at time and I love the q54.

Makes sense... Most of our small stuff is the 1 or 2 single color t-shirts for a mom & pop lawn care or powerwashing business. Most do not seem to be in a hurry. That may be a viable option, and I am thinking about posting a $50 minimum. Thanks for the thought

I can understand that & it sounds as if you are a pretty large operation. I am just stuck at where to set mine at. In all honestly with art, printing & cutting included, even the simplest 1 color shirt or sticker I feel I am not making anything unless it is around $50. As I said, I also...

Looking to see where everyone else is at with shop minimums & really small jobs. I have a small sign shop & been in business about 4 years now. I have a 48" mutoh, laminator & plotter, as well as a heat press for t-shirts & we contract out screen printed t's. We are getting an enormous...

We use the Perf Cut on our FC7000 all the time. Just finished a run of 2000 bumper stickers & it saves quite a bit of time. In my opinion it is just much more presentable & neater to give to a customer rather than them being hand cut. Play with it & find what setting works best for you. We...

I just did a wall in my sons room and have used Optima (believe it is an advantage sign supply house brand) and has done well.
