OK, here goes. I have been involved in the sign business on the sales end for a fairly long time. I just recently started to try, key word is try, to do some installations myself. Needless to say I broke even on a few jobs because I had to make the print twice. I broke down and bought a big squeegee. I can't believe the ease of use on this thing. Am I a master yet, NO, but are the prints more than passible, YES. This thing saved me alot of time and money. I just wanted to throw my 2 cents out there to maybe help another newbie who is thinking about buying this product.

You broke even just because you had to print a job 2x? Need to look at your pricing, you are in NJ not Nebraska. Price accordingly with the expectation of a possible mishap.
I have 5 Big Squeegees and I wouldn't trade them for anything! I use them every day!

Yeah, every time I mount a 4x8 print in five minutes I think about the years we spent applying them wet at the end of the day so they'd have time to dry out overnight.

I forget how many of them I have, either 12 or 14, best tools in my shop!
ok I didnt want to admit that I screwed up that many pieces of digital printing. The one job I had to do a few times, then pay someone else to do it. I don't want anyone to worry that I'm 5% louie. I just screwed up so many times, felt embarrased to admit it. Thanks for all the welcomes.

Pricing is one of those things where, No matter what everyone on the forums are charging your costs will differ. Depending on your hourly rate you would like to get paid and the suppliers your using.
You will always come in more expensive than someone else or less expensive than others. I don't worry about matching anyone's pricing anymore, I know what X job is worth to me according to my time and materials and that's what it is.

Welcome....
I just layed down my first back lit. It was 24" x 10 ' long and I was terrified. Layed perfect. Then put the 210 laminate over and was terrified. Layed perfect. I have 3 Big Squeege's and thanks to Dale, I'm no longer terrified.
