  3. Opinions: Epson 60600 vs. Mimaki JV300-160 for wraps?

    We've pretty much been a dedicated Mutoh shop since we opened, and now that our pair of 1624x printers are approaching the 3-year mark, it's time to upgrade. Not going back to Mutoh because AFAIK 3rd party ink isn't available yet, and Mutoh has increased the price drastically on these new...
  4. Mimaki UJV100-160 vs UCJV300-160?

    Looking to add our first UV roll to roll machine at our shop. Really like the Colorado's but price point is more than our budget, and they seem to be machines made to do long runs and we change material many times throughout the day. Anyway, looking hard at the UJV100-160 and the UCJV300-160...
  5. What do you consider "color matching"......?

    Long story short, I used an outside vendor to produce some feather flags and a tent for a customer of ours. (No, I am not going to name them here.) We've used them before and all our prior work from them has been fine. However, we received the flags and tent, and the colors on the flags don't...

  7. Anyone here own a Vanguard VKM600?

    Trying to make my final decision between this machine and the Stratojet 2512 Shark. Both are different machines and have their pros and cons, but I know the Vanguard is very new and wondering if anyone here has one, and what their experience has been?
  8. Other options for lightweight, large banner?

    So, we've been doing 15' x 30' banners on 13oz banner for many years for an indoor sports facility for their sponsor banners to hang on their walls. They've asked if I have any other options that would be lighter weight and asked about fabric. I typically sent these banners to Signs365 or...

    Wow, just as I am researching a Vanguard printer, I run across this! https://www.piworld.com/article/durst-acquires-majority-stake-in-vanguard-digital-printing/ Congrats to Dave and his team at Vanguard, I guess they were doing it right enough to get Durst's attention.
  10. Taking the next step in printers...

    We run three Mutoh 1624x roll printers here, and have a CWT work table, GFP 563 and Summa F1612 and a D-140 to help with laminating/mounting/cutting prints. Just over the last 2 months, I have realized the bottleneck is no longer our finishing, but with our printers. I am probably just asking...

    Started using Estimate last year, I really like the software but I have questions on certain items that I would like to tweak. Also, have some questions about how things are configured - I've spent a lot of time and gotten things about 80% to where I want them to be, but would really be nice to...
  13. Wind load on wall mount channel letters???

    Working on a set of non-lit channel letters and everything has been approved thru local zoning, BUT now they kicked this over to their building dept who are requesting wind load calculations on the channel letters. WTF!?!? While I'm sure there is such thing to a minor degree, wouldn't that...
  14. Taking delivery of our new Summa F1612 next week, what else should I know?

    As the title says, after looking for roughly 2 years for a cutting table I pulled the trigger and took advantage of the show special for the F1612 Phil Johnson listed here for Signs101 people. (Thank you Phil for all your help.) We have ours pretty well loaded, (kiss cut tool, double edge...

    Anyone know where to find one? My PVO software doesn't list one - any other options?
  18. What percent do you markup off the shelf parts & retail items on average?

    Specifically, I am wondering if everyone uses a flat percentage across the board or does it vary based on the item? Common items used in conjunction with signs that we aren't making - such as realtor frames, fence posts, yard sign stakes, bags of concrete, etc...
  19. Best way to deal with companies wanting to be listed on your Insurance?

    So, we get requests to do installs frequently throughout the year from shops outside our area and from other states. An issue we are running into (and one I am dealing with at the moment) is that we get request to do the work, we make a bid, company accepts bid, we do work and then send invoice...
