  3. Recession

    Keep adding value. Keep hustling. You'll be OK if you focus on your clients and get it every day. Especially as a small shop. Recessions are a great opportunity for those of us that keep pushing to improve every day.
  4. Hand Held Creasing Wheel

    I was just going to suggest a screen door wheel, but you beat me to it. My wife makes fun of me, but if I have a few minutes to kill, I'll dally through the isles of a hardware store. There are often specially tools that can be re-purposed for our industry, but you'll have no idea what it...
  5. Source for oversize magnets

    We like to run a high quality 020 because it contours better and lays flatter, especially on small magnet. We do alot more small magnets. If you set up the files though, we could do this in 020 if you wanted: https://www.firesprint.com/magnetic-42/products/

  8. MISys Manufacturing Software

    Just curious if anyone here uses it? I'm not sure why, but I have not found an actual print/sign shop software that I like. Being a fairly high volume, low customization shop, we have more in common with a small manufacturer than we do a wrap shop when it comes to tracking our inventory and...
  9. Starting a print business

    So first off, we can print stuff like this for you: https://www.firesprint.com/posters/products/ But if I am reading your post correctly, doesn't sound like you need a UV, Latex or Solvent printer like we use in the sign business. You might be able to get away with an aqueous printer for indoor...
  10. Cutting 3mil ACM - Colex SHARPCUT Pro SXC 1732

    So it's odd, but one of the things we realized after a while on our zund is that we were cutting too slow. Just about every time, slowing down and running more passes leads to a cleaner cut and longer bit life, but not for our setup with ACM. We switched to a 2 pass and went as fast as we run...
  11. Double Sided Magnets

    I wouldn't think of doing this on a vehicle. It could work on a job board or something like that. The added weight is for sure an issue, but so is the thickness. They won't contour as nicely and the thicker edge will catch more wind. If you do try to get this to work, I would try to find an...
  12. Questions about selling used printers

    Used printers in great shape often do not get more than 10-20% of their purchase value. Let alone those in rough shape. There just isn't a market for them right now. That being said, with interest rates and the economy doing what it's doing, there are probably a few more people out there...
  13. Firesprint sample book

    We have had several printers that could have had white, we don't ink up the system. We have extra heads for CMYK in the future that way.
  14. Firesprint sample book

    At our heart, we're a yard sign printer. Yard signs are about 65% of our business (used to be 90%). They don't require white ink so we have not had it. Stickers are only something we have been doing for a couple of years. That, and the fact that it's more cumbersome and expensive have kept...
  15. Firesprint sample book

    Thank you for the kind words on our sample book. Bridget here worked very hard on it. She's actually getting married today! So the big reason why we don't run any clear is that we don't have white ink in any of our machines. It's something we talk about a lot around here though!
  16. where to buy a screen?

    We run around a 300 mesh screen for our uv inks. Let us know if you get tired of cleaning screens.
  17. Critique me! 100 Yard Sign order

    I'm a little confused. Are there 200 designs on 100 double sided signs? Are they variable data? Working with friends is though, and it goes both ways. If you expect his loyalty, he should be able to exepct you give give him a friendship discount. When my friends ask for stuff, I just offer to...
