  1. Application tape not sticking to frosted crystal

    Does anyone have issues with this? I believe the tape I'm using is high tack... Some of it comes off fine, but some just won't stick. I've never had this problem with other vinyls. I'm using the 3m frosted crystal.
  2. Pricing

    I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times, but I can't seem to find anything on it. I'm curious how everyone here builds out their pricing. I learned at my last job what we charged, came to a new shop and sort of just try to compete with that, and it's worked so far, but I'm wanting to...
  3. Sintra?

    This may be a stupid question, but I keep getting asked what the difference is between sintra and PVC. Is there actually a difference? From my understanding they're essentially the same thing.
  4. Loading Media Into Hp Fb550

    When loading banner, I can't seem to get it to load straight. Seems I have tension and everything's good through take up, and a few in it starts skewing. Any tips on getting it straight the first time? I would love to be able to run this overnight but I can't trust it.
  5. Avery Digital Film Class

    Hey all, I work for a company that right now is strictly signage but we really want to get into vehicle wraps. I have assisted doing wraps in the past at other shops I've worked at, so I have some knowledge of it, but it's been a while. My boss approved me to take the Avery class that's coming...
  6. Hp Latex 370, Double Sided Prints

    I know how to do double sided prints when the image is the same on both sides. Any tips or tricks on doing it when the print is a different image? I'm using Onyx Poster Shop. I know it's not really "supported" but can be done.
  7. Hp Scitex Fb550, Printing Plywood

    I'm trying to make a sign for my wife as a gift, and I have an old pallet that's an inch thick. I follow all the loading steps, tell it the thickness is an inch to two inches and when the carriage starts to move out to measure the media, it hits it every time. I never have this issue with other...
  8. Montroy

    Huge shout out to Montroy sign and graphics. I've used Grimco, Spicers and a few others and the customer service, products and pricing just blows them out of the water. I'm here in Colorado, so I work with the Denver branch.
  9. Hello From Colorado!

    Hey everyone! My name is Ryan, and I've been in the large format industry for 5 years. I sort of fell into it accidentally and I've just ran with it. I started in the business just finishing banners, thinking I'd be hopping into a new career path pretty quickly. I'm now managing a new large...
  10. Polycarbonite For Rigid Backlit

    Hey guys! We have a client who is wanting something rigid but able to be backlit. I'd be doing a direct print on HP Scitex FB550. I think polycarbonite would work well, but wanting to see if anyone has any other suggestions or if anyone else has done this with success. Thanks!
  11. Different inks?

    I'm running a Latex 370. We burn through a lot of ink and my purchasing department is getting upset at spending 375 a piece for a large box. Anyone running other brands of ink? I know HP doesn't recommend it and it can mess with your warranty, so that's something to consider as well, but seeing...
