I'm lucky, usually just me and the dogs alone in my part of the building, rarely ever have to deal with people. I'm not a polo shirt and khaki kind of guy, but I'm professional enough to at least wear pants and shoes instead of joggers and slippers when the need arises. What more could you ask for?

This just upped the "now I've seen it all" to a whole new level :roflmao:

Mimaki's can be temperamental with aftermarket anything. That said, if you're doing it solely for the odor, you may not get what you ask for. All solvent inks smell, there's different formulas for different printers, so it might be less, better, just as bad, or worse, probably won't get the...

We have no bigger cities close by, and we're over-saturated. less than 100,000 people in the metro area, nine legit sign shops, twenty print shops, and probably fifteen or more additional trying to compete out of their basements and garages with worn out old printers they picked up on market...

I feel yer' pain... I seem to get all the stuff that other shops don't want to touch, like the one I did yesterday, wrapping a roll-up door on a cattle trailer. Guy tried several shops, all gave a quick "nope". 9 pin hinged heavily corrugated panels, couldn't remove the door to do it. Boss said...

I had some in stock for wrapping white translucent pan faces, not sure if I used it all up or not, been a minute since I did the last one of those. I'm out of the shop till Monday, if I remember (gettin' old) I'll see, maybe stick a piece on the bathroom mirror to see how clear it is.

We help out other local shops when they need it, anything from a minimal charge to cover just what it costs us to wholesale prices, depending on the circumstances. Never know when you'll need their help too. Some around here would rather go out of business than ask for assistance, or give...

Could you print the black (double strike to make it opaque) on clear? Orafol has a gloss, cast, conformable transparent wrap film (3951 ultra slide). I would think that wrapping from center outwards, any distortion should stay uniform and "look right". Just a thought anyway. Maybe see if one...

Coro is the cheapest substrate in existence, print em' & be done, no warranty against fading or warping. Materials and labor to laminate has to cost as much, if not more than the piece of coro. It's a gamble to laminate and get it to seal properly in all the flutes, it's a materior for...

I'm sure you'd be able to find a rental, construction companies rent them more often than buying, so there's usually a rental option not too far away from anywhere. They come in various sizes, and most the roof units are on wheels, and can roll sideways on the roof, so you can move them and do...

+1 for swing stage scaffold. Check around for rentals & prices in your area. They usually rent on a monthly basis, gives plenty of time to get a job done, and will probably set you back a couple grand, which you just bill to the customer anyway.

Don't get quite what you're looking to do, but experimenting is the mother of invention. Look into holographic vinyl, comes in tons of different styles/ colors/ patterns/ options, almost endless. Many have reflective color changing properties already, and a lot are printable. You can combine...

Possible cheap solution. Apply some PPF around the door handles on all the trucks you do for them. If the PPF discolors, just peel the old one and apply a new one.

Whether you wire them yourself, or have a licensed contractor do it, it's all paid for by the customer anyway, and no place to "cheap out" or "wing it". Commercial buildings have strict codes, and get periodic inspections. Violating codes can be very costly if you're caught, and having a failure...

I only use it for cut lettering or accents because it's so durable, and that's what it sounded like the OP was looking for. It doesn't specify whether it's for Gerber printers, or just the sprocket cutters. Contact them and ask em'.

Not unethical at all. Artwork that can be copyrighted must be created by a human, hence, AI generated artwork can't be copyrighted, and has case law rulings by courts and the USCO to back it up. The exceptions to this pretty much open source use is if it contains copyrighted elements, like in...

With all the LED stage backdrops and walls, flexible panels, modular wall panels, etc on the market, you can do anything from portable displays for trade shows, local theater & venue backdrops, to encapsulating an entire building. There's no need to reinvent the wheel to go big and bold. Just...

Biggest issue with lasers is ambient lighting. From dusk till dawn, they work well, and look pretty cool, but for daytime use they're pretty much a no-go, so you lose half your advertising opportunity. I've performed on stages in venues that used lasers to enhance shows, and trust me, you don't...

Dumb it down, don't try to explain file formats, resolution, colors... The language I found best to explain it to them is that Canva is a free/ low cost option available mainly for web graphics, things you would do on a desktop printer, or for small format crafting projects on devices like...

Couldn't have said it better myself. We're one of those smaller companies, not struggling, making good profits, and a good chance we could sustain that indefinitely, and be grateful :thumb:
