    Has anyone come across this issue with "streaking" marks staying on laminated window perf? I am used to some of these staying (even with very light install touch) but will come up over time however its been a week and client says most are still apparent. Any advice on how to remove, fix, or...
  2. Discussion Convince me not to buy a Colorado...

    We got an M3. 5 year lease at ~$900/mo and contact at ~$750 for 5000sqft/mo. Did I need this machine? Absolutely not, and there are times where its sitting around doing nothing but it has changed our business for the better. We found a few customers for large qty white ink on decals and window...
  3. The annual question...how was business this year?

    Record year at our shop for the 4th straight year. Probably up low-teen % vs '23. Invoice totals are way up, really stuck to our guns on the order minimum and it cost us some customers but really helped keep the big jobs flowing. Picked up some bigger accounts (contracted and some national) that...
  4. Outdoor canopy supplier request: Orbus vs anyone else

    Hello, Recently sold a few Orbus Outdoor Canopy tents. A few uses in and the customer sends these photos of terrible wear and tear. Orbus is not responding to our request for at least reprint. Does anyone have another recommend supplier that doesn't use the canvas tops (like orbus) and knows...
  5. Good Alternates to ShopVox Shop Management software

    I don't quite understand the ShopVox hate here. We are a team of 7 and LOVE Shopvox so far. Been using the express version and will probably upgrade to the Pro version at start of year. It has immensly helped our shop. Quicker/easier quoting leading to faster approvals (has been said our...

    What amount of length are you referring too? Doing less intricate cuts we can do about 20' without any issue. Key is pinch roller placement and great alignment.

  10. What Overlaminate would work best for this project

    Is it just single color cut vinyl indoors? Oracal 341 series is matte/luster indoor grade for flat walls and dirt cheap.
  11. Canon Colorado M Series.

    That is exactly what I got, an M3. We have been doing more and more ad my current 1 eco solvent printer couldnt keep up so I think in busy weeks we are between 3-5 boxes a week now but we have picked up a lot of contracts recently that should see that number double next 1-2 years is my estimate.
  12. Canon Colorado M Series.

    Hi Christian, Thanks for all the great information on this unit. We signed up for one and are just waiting to receive but I have a bit of worry. We are not a large production house, we maybe go thru 3 boxes of media in a busy week. The ability to print white and more substrates than...
