  1. Lamination problem

    It's not the roller, its operator error. When I first did roll to roll I got the exact same thing, lines of air and random small bubbles. It's been too long to remember but it was either how I loaded or it was from cranking down on the roller. Doing it sheet by sheet wastes too much time. If...

    Sounds like Les Claypol picked up some of his style from him. Was this all considered funk?

    Hey Gino, what music genre or group main streamed the prominent bass lines? I have an idea in my head but that's assuming it was late 60s or early 70s.

    I think this industry is in the beginning of another huge change and it's gonna be tough on the small shops. It is quite possible that in house design/layout go away from this industry as people shift to wholesale volume printing and fabrication.
  5. Canopy Fabrication

    Structural steel or awning company. You don't want that falling on someone's head and that thing looks really chinsy.
  6. Lamination problem

    So roll fed laminate does it but individual sheets don't? I'd definitely look at misalignment when you're setting it up. The heat could be compensating for it by stretching the laminate. If that's the case, you don't really want that. I only use the weight of the roller, no extra tension.
  7. Lamination problem

    Looks like it's not going through straight? Don't over tighten the roller either and you really don't need heat. That's not silvering.
  8. Printed Color Change Wrap

    Raising your price won't make anything better, time is still an issue. You can hire help, weed out some of this new business you are getting or move on from the wrap people. Over the years we have moved away from anything that is too time consuming or tedious, it's just aggravating work and...

    There will always be people that appreciate good work and seek it out, that is where you come into play. Unfortunately, you still have to deal with the ones that can't even match their clothes and they sort of sour the whole deal. I suppose that's what makes enjoyable work a job rather than a...
  10. Graffiti Remover for Window Graphics

    If you get it under it. On the surface of gloss laminate, I've used acetone and lacquer thinner. Acetone has never screwed it up in my experience but lacquer thinner dulls it sometimes. Have also used non-chlorinated brake clean with no issues as long as there is laminate on it
  11. Graffiti Remover for Window Graphics

    You already gave yourself a solution, use anti graffiti laminate and I gave you a solution, start trying stuff. Mineral spirits, acetone, lacquer thinner, there isn't much to lose here. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. I would assume that the sheen of 8509 is going to be an issue.

    If I didn't see so many crappy designs done by "professionals" then I would agree you here but we all know there are no shortage of hacks that do this for a living. On the plus side of customers canva creations, it gives you a concept to start from without having to waste a ton of time talking...
  13. Graffiti Remover for Window Graphics

    Tell the customer to try whatever they want. It's already ruined. Knowing that this is an ongoing problem, you did your customer a disservice by going away from the graffiti laminate all because you didn't like working with it. Bad move.
  14. Customer wet applied wrap material

    I would try edge seal tape or pen? SLX needs to be post heated as well

    I don't like subscription based anything because you are at their mercy to run whatever crap updates that they push out and the learning curve of this stuff tends to lock you in forever. Like what google did with Gmail and Intuit with Quickbooks. When you own your assets you have the majority...

    Bet this will be a catch and kill. M&As are out of control. Still have gimp and inkscape.
  17. Customer has no idea what he wants but wants it now - Rant.

    To avoid the yes answer to a multiple choice question, don't give choices until you have their attention. Send 1 option in an email, here it is. After they reply, then send the other options and ask would you prefer this over the first one? That generally gets them to focus for a minute.
  18. How to deal with this

    That was pretty dumb. Whoever did it should have sold them on a decal so it'd cover up the ghosting. It doesn't take a PhD to know how this was gonna be the end result.
