  5. We don’t laminate our signs. Thoughts?

    I dont compete with them. I charge triple. But now i also take jobs that otherwise would have missed. I don't really care even if they give it for free. I have bought my printer to be able to do fast jobs and don't lose customers that want something printed fast. Most $$ per hour i make when...
  6. We don’t laminate our signs. Thoughts?

  12. Nozzles are clogging but tech said there's no need to replace cap top

    I don't know what to tell you. Are you sure the lines to the head do not have air? That they are full and dampers are full to the top??? He should have sucke air from dampers and make sure all till head is perfect. As what you describe to me is a typical cartridge sealing problem, i...
  13. What vinyl are you printing your stickers onto, and why?

    The cheapest possible, which is the thickest. That results in the ability to cut them first, then print them. So my edges have perfect fit and cut. And no problem with lifted edges like when printing on a good vinyl. All are happy. And please stop talking about sticker life. When they fade, they...
