We use banner up tape and taps. Never had a issue with holes stretching or tearing. We do use grommets a lot of the times instead of just pouncing them.

Good fast. Not the cheapest but fair. Only thing I don't like is everything is .25 shorter then what you order. Their standard! I ordered a bunch of 10mm coro once had to go in frame didn't fit customer refused job. I learned my lessen to read carefully. Others allow bleeds and cut to size.

Yes need to be skilled to run a 4 color Heidelberg. Small flatbed like Xante you could have the card already cut and run them that way or single sheet and then cut. This is the way to go if you want them done in-house.

The problem is everyone in today's world thinks they can have now. Been printing offset, digital, and wide format since 1987. It is getting more stressful in today's world. If you have problems longer to get parts on offset side. Pretty much all digital now but if issue comes up seems to many...

I would suggest Xante. One of the more affordable prices.

Well if you made it this long you must be doing something right. All suggestions have been good. Another option can be time&material. What are you paying yourself is it enough? I think most people don't consider all the time it takes. Setup/Proofs/time spent talking and explain things to...

With today's supply chain issues Digitech might be the best option need a part from oversees who knows the wait time. I believe Digitech is in Texas.

Don't forget you have to have some form of receipt. You have to create a job ticket for billing or accounting purposes. Have to save file in your system and have some way to find it again. People think you are their secretary. Come in 4 years later and want a few more. What you don't have my...

I have been looking at flatbeds for a long time. Since we purchased a Mutoh hybrid years ago to slow. I ended up not purchasing a new one I just outsource found a good company that does good work at very good price. 10 yard signs both sides with shipping $45. But if I was going to buy I would...

I have been in the offset and digital printing world for a long time. And have not really taken the time to understand all of this. But as far as text and logos go vector art is the best and will enlarge without any issues. As far as rasterized art goes like pictures and text/logos saved as say...

Looking at FB550 from a shop that closed. Machine in good shape and I will have it moved to my location. But need a Company to come re-install and train. I'm located in Indiana does anyone know a company that can do this? I don't want to have to pay for someone from CA or TX to do this someone...
