  2. Graphtec 7000 won't stop feeding the material

    Once I load the media and hit F1, the carrier reads the 2 rollers but then goes to the left and stops and won't stop feeding the material. Sometimes it will go back to the right but it will do the same thing in that position as well. Any advice?

  8. What is your mark up?

    I had a potential customer come in today and ask how much for 100 postcards. I gave her my pricing, which I think is fair. She told me about another quote she received for 100 postcards and it was half the cost of mine. I have been on 4over seeing what I can do to get my price down to theirs...
