We slowed down drastically in October. A lot of my customers said the same thing. We all thought/hoped it had something to do with the election. We lost another two larger customers to not being able to compete with flatbed print pricing. We definitely don't have that purchase in our budget...

Mother Daughter duo going to make it big with the Cricut. I could tell by their tiptoeing around attitude when they walked in that something was up. And their almost identical flowery paisley blouses (they don't hide the butt) They wanted a "vendor" for their "larger" projects After about two...

I have a customer that needs 2 images on static cling and then contoured. He would prefer them to be applied on the inside. I cannot print white so I was hoping someone in here had a company or preferably a merchant member? x1 35’’ x 17’’ x1 15’’ x 28’’ As always thank you in advance

I write this for two reasons: 1. I know the power of Signs101 and if you are like me I know it matters. 2. I know Grimco watches this site and has filters that alert them when their name is used. Most of you know the recent buying spree they have been on. St. Louis (where they are based) has...

Usually every Feb-March we start getting the calls to renew our Ad. This year we were not going to pay a dime for a Ad of any kind. Its now April and we have yet to get 1 call. I had heard that they were not going to print it anymore or they were going to drastically shrink the new book. Anyway...

A majority of my business is decals. And my current plotter is about to get thrown out. I have been looking at plotters and I always come back to Graphtec. I owned a Graphtec 24" CE series from 2002 til I unfortunately sold it a couple of years ago. Never had one problem with it. I really like...

I have been making these foam T's to mount on roofs of trucks for years now. Each time out of trial and error I adjust my technique. The customer likes them made out of foam in case they come off they will not do damage to oncoming vehicles whatnot. I have tried leading him to a different...

Mutoh 1204 Flexi 8.5v1 and RIP Material doesn't make a difference I am at my wits end with this problem. I am printing full coverage and after 4'-7' it starts shifting to the left. Then it starts printing lines off the page. I worked on this everyday since last Saturday and finally by Thursday...

Got to love working on a Sat and Sunday...... I'm printing a partial with 3mIJ189cv3 and about 50' or so in I check on it and there is a crease in the vinyl that runs about a foot in on the right for 30+ feet. It def is deep enough to scream at you after the ink is on. My question: I have had...

I am in the finishing stages of a month long quote/proof process with a customer needing partial wraps on 2 vans, box truck and a generator. He wanted to finalize the deal and get me started early next week. He called at the end of a Friday (always the most stressful time for me) and got my...

I have a Mutoh 1400d ultima plotter paired with my VJ When I contour a job it cuts a roughly 8" 45degree cut from the bottom right left and up through my print job. This ruins anything in its path obviously. It started when I switched to a new computer with windows 7. I talked with Mutoh and...

A customer of mine in Chicago bought a truck with advertising space on all four sides. Its basically a box truck with 15 or so 4"x10' (depending on which side) strips that flip x3 so you can advertise 3 different things. I have seen similar things as poster cases at the movies. I'm in St. Louis...

I have been using a local owned supply company for 15 years exclusively. They recently sold to Grimco so I went into the last locally owned supply company in St. Louis. I am not as close and don't trust the employees near as much as I did my old supplier so I am looking for advice. I own a...
