I completely agree with this perspective. In our experience, white ink is typically used on high-value items. For example, we often apply it to mirrored acrylic, usually for high-quality photo prints. Early on, when we first got our flatbed printer, we overanalyzed pricing for white and clear...

I am sure there is but i am going to layer them off center on both sides and just tape it shut as a quick test and if it works correctly then I will find wider rolls or just have them custom made since I go through a lot of boards daily, this is also a good test because I am considering...

Unfortunately we do the same lol. I just ordered 48"x1250' Air Foam Rolls and 48" reinforced Kraft sheet paper to see if those will solve the issue. If this fails then I guess the box route is my only option. Now I need to go find a bigger building LMAO But I really do appreciate the feedback...

Not looking for a magic bullet in anyway. I thought i would give it a shot by asking here to see what everyone else does with similar situations. The cost can be justified but one of the main issues with boxes is I need room for them, this is why i was thinking of some type of roll and finding...

I have searched for them and they would need to be custom made as the material is 48x96 and after wrapping the boxes would need at least an inch extra and I can't seem to find them unless I am just thinking of it wrong

that would make the most sense but the average order is usually 2-6 Foam boards 3/16 thick so boxing them would not work. I mean we make decent money with these planners but not as much as i make from the franchises i print for or businesses so I am trying to cut costs for these types of jobs to...

That’s what we currently do but I’m looking for a quicker and more streamlined way to actually wrap them quickly and put them in the pickup slots. Sometimes they forget to pack everything so we have to rip off all the shrink wrap take off the sandwich boards re pack them then use another roll of...

We also engage in this process, but I typically handle an average of 90 to 110 full sheets per week for these planners. Additionally, I incorporate custom-cut acrylics, shapes, and prints onto mirror acrylics, which can contribute to congestion in my 15,000 square foot shop before pickup...

I’m curious to learn what methods you all use to protect 4x8 substrates like Foam Core, Coroplast, or Acrylic until your customers pick them up. Currently, I use a significant amount of shrink wrap after completing a job. While this usually works well, I’ve been doing a lot of work for wedding...

Thats funny I just saw this, i have never used their products and I have a large client that needs floor decals and they specifically asked for general formulation 221, so i just ordered it and have not used it yet but will today. I will let you know

well this sucks for sure, we have a ton of big clients and they are on terms because we do a credit check, and make them sign a paper for the terms. Its a big hassle getting your money sometimes and over the years we have moved away from Terms for almost everyone with the exception of a few. I...

I honestly don't have a problem with this issue, I get the lost time and money and blah blah blah but we have 7 employees and I don't enforce anything with them. They take breaks whenever they want and for what ever time they want. They know what our work load is and they know what needs to be...

The difference is unless I read it wrong, if you are working at home and finish up projects all you do is save it to the folder for dropbox or even google drive and when you get to your shop all you do is open that folder the files are there and you are good to go. you don't need to be...

I don’t know if this is an option for you we use to transfer that way but now I use dropbox and all my designers put the files to be printed in a designated folder and when I go to my rip computer to print or even edit the file is there and waiting for me. The transfer is faster that WiFi but it...

Just curious as to what most of you guys and gals are using for adhesive promoter for your flatbed UV printer. Do you have a lot of different kinds for all the materials like glass, plastic and so on? or do you just one 1 type that works with everything. I have a couple kinds, one is a liquid...

Honestly I don't look at my orders that way personally. I do laser engraving and I get people that come in ALL the time that need a small 1"x3" plate done and I charge them $5-$10 at least or those little 12"x12" foam core jobs I don't turn anyone away. Yes I have a lot of big customers but my...

This is an example of my other business we have walmarts, sams club, costco they are basically the same. I have a liquor store and these above companies to name just a few, sell the same products as me (pepsi, coke, tobacco, liquor, general merchandise) but they offer it cheaper that what I...

Just wanted to chime in as I do see a lot of people that do complain about this. I have been in the sign industry for roughly 15 years now (not a veteran like some here but not a newbie like some ) but I have been in the retail business for over 25 years owning liquor stores, wholesale...

I see this all the time, not trying to start anything, so far everyone here has been awesome and you are right about your comments but everyone needs to start somewhere and they shouldn't be put down for asking questions that what we are here for. I had these questions 14 years ago when i...

I have started doing a good number of these signs lately every since i got my Flatbed printer. I basically print directly to the acrylic and you can either Cold laminate it or use liquid laminate 24-48 hours after its printed and then you are done, go to the site and install. Before the...
