Just an FYI, we've been contacted by the TSSA (not sure what the American equivalent is) about needing engineers approval before installing vinyl inside an elevator, apparently there are issues with weight and possible flammability that need to be approved before anything can be installed...

I've had my s80600 for about 7 years, it still prints beautifully and I can get 3 full rolls of vinyl printed in a day if needed. We used to be a Roland only shop for years, but Roland screwed us around, if you do some searches on here you will see the recent Roland machines are plagued with...

Between those 2, I would get the Epson, however keep in mind that you still will not be able to print florescent colors as it's not possible on a standard digital printer, but the Epson will give you a much better colour gammet than you currently have

This seems about right. If all the signs are the same size, try to make a jig for the spacing off the floor and distance from the door frame, it will cut your install time down by 2/3 and make it a 1 person job.

I agree, your list of equipment would make a shop doing $10 million a year in sales jealous! Far too much upfront investment in equipment you don't need yet. Also I agree, if you are trying to do web2print, you would be much better off from a lower cost of living area of the country, possibly...

Same, our S80600 is in it's own room 25'x20' and if i'm printing heavy coverage I can;t be in the room for more than 10 minutes without getting a headache, if you are printing on 3M IJ40c, the smell of the vinyl and ink lingers in our shop for almost a week for some reason...

I think it's vinyl text, if you zoom in there are small bumps of dust under some letters.

So they back up, hit and bend the post and just put it in park and go shopping? Any time I've ever hit a curb or something in a parking lot I have to drive away and not come back for a week due to the embarrassment, I can't believe someone would hit it and think "this is fine"

I can pretty much guarantee the ink you got on Ali Express is not JetBest ink, China is very very good at counterfeit products, I purchased a few rolls of 3M 467MP adhesive off of Ali Express, when it arrived it looks identical to the genuine roll we have in stock, feels the same, however it's...

I don;t have any direct experience, but my understanding is you need to preform a "Labour Market Assessment" which basically shows that you have made a effort to recruit Canadians to preform the job and you have not been successful, The government will review and let you know if you are allowed...

Use Dremel to grind a slot in it then use a flathead screwdriver

If you figure this out, let me know! Around here if you find a good sub contract installer, you have about 6 months until word gets out and they get more work than they can handle and over book themselves. I get asked to do electrical stuff so infrequently that it's not worth me quoting it...

I think I found the reason you're struggling, this is from your FAQ: Why are your graphics cheaper than most other places ?= Please remember , We make graphics as NON PROFIT .. Our prices are low and ink / material is expensive , we use the best material in the industry. Substance X1 print...

I'm pretty sure the owner of the company is who's in charge and who makes the real decisions that affect the overall performance on the company no?

How does the president affect your sales? is that like when they have a direct say on gas prices?

Are you asking how to physically store it, or how to keep track of it? We built a vertical rack to hold all our sheet goods, it works well and doesn't take up much space. I don't have a system to track it, I usually calculate how much I need for a job, walk to the rack and see what I have...

I've seen laminate with super thin laminate, but not print vinyl. However it does beg the question, why does your client care about the thickness of the piece they throw in the garbage?

Thin backer papers and the HP latex do not mix, the high heat the printer generates will cause head strikes galore on thin backed vinyl. The backer paper you posted is typical on roll labels, which are printed on much different machines. Typically the rolls for these machines are very long, so...

OK, so I've got a bit of experience with barcodes, let me help where I can. The first thing you need to do is figure out what type or "language" of barcode you need. There are hundreds of different types and they are all formatted differently, it's not universal. Once that is determined, you...

Colour consistency is an known issue on the latex machines since pretty much day 1.
