  1. Black Snap Frame Materials?

  2. Customer requesting relief cuts in vinyl

    They're paying for it, inform them the cut line will show to cover your butt, get it laid, & get paid. The issues they've had in the past could be the installation technique, or the material might not be what the last guy thought it was either, and not right for the application.
  3. Merry Christmas you filthy animals

    Coal again? I... Am going to need a bigger coal bin. Merry Xmas everyone :toasting:
  4. Need Help installed print head

    Doesn't matter how, it's always good when a problem is solved, and it's good that you followed up with the solution. This post might help someone else down the road with the same problem, so it'll serve a purpose.

  6. My city is getting very greedy

    If the permit process stuck to a reasonable cost and procedure to ensure things are done safe, to code, and that you were properly insured, few would have an issue. It insures safety, and also protects you from unqualified, uninsured, fly by night people taking jobs away from you. But yes, many...
  7. Color Match

    When I do stealth reflective I print some decent sized color swatches on reflective that are in the color range, laminate so they'll have the final finish, stick em' around on the vehicle, let the customer check them in different light settings, and have them select what's closest to the desired...

    I don't like cocaine, I just love the way it smells... :oops:
  9. Black color not drying on HP 365 Latex

    Another thing you can do is grab an IR thermometer and check the heaters all the way across to see if they're in the ballpark of the temp you have it set to. Just because it's hot doesn't mean the temp is what you set it to, or need to cure ink. It's rare, but I have seen issues where they're...
  10. Your Physical Health

    As far as the pot thing goes, I don't partake anymore, but the wife has MS and uses it. That disease is mainly "treating symptoms", and it helps with some of the stuff that conventional meds don't work for, and there's a lot of meds she can't take anymore because they were taking their toll on...
  11. Black color not drying on HP 365 Latex

    From the limited experience I've had with latex, temp and/ or cure time. Try running more passes, it'll print slower, but give the heat more time to cure it. Make sure your temps are high enough, but don't go overboard or you'll create other issues with messing up the adhesive and warping media...
  12. V2 Hex Carbon Black Vinyl Car Wrap

    Never heard of it either. First thing that would scare me off is there's nothing about expected life or vinyl type on Amazon, looked up V2's website, nothing there either. Is it a one year vinyl, a 5 year, 7 year, a craft vinyl they're passing off as automotive grade? Is it cast, calendared, or...

    Plus one for the RGI products Todd Jelle recommended. https://realgoldinc.myshopify.com/
  14. Acrylic letters with a flowing moving color spectrum behind letters

    I'm with Burton, if it's interior, talk em' into a monitor or tv, you can use a USB stick for whatever you want on the screen to make them fully self contained. They'll do so much more than rigging up lights and a controller, and you can change or edit whatever you send to the screen, any time...
  15. Graphics Question

    Just request what they're providing up front for new customers, or those you have had issues with. Bigger jobs are less problematic, more flexible, it's the little jobs for small businesses, individuals, etc, that usually don't understand what's needed for printing, who designed it in some off...
  16. Raster and Vector Image Customer Rant

    You only need 3 or 4 more descriptive words, and it could be a product description on Amazon :toasting:
  17. Graphics Question

    You can't always get what you need up front when they're just shopping around, but they usually want some sort of pricing to make sure it's within their budget. On a big project, a little design time is a negligible difference, on smaller projects, having to up-charge because artwork isn't...
  18. Amazon, UPS, FedEx

    We must be finally catching up to the rest of the world. Amazon building a distro ctr a few miles from the shop, they're so anxious to get it operating that as soon as some of the land is prepped they said they'll be setting up massive tents to operate out of till the building is constructed...
  19. Graphics Question

    Asking for artwork before even giving a quote is the best approach, something we always push for. That way you know what you have to work with, determine if they even have artwork that's usable, or not, quote accordingly for any design time, and give an accurate price. Requesting it right up...
  20. Graphics Question

    OK, so I did this (upper) in just a few minutes, so it's rough. Just draw one candy cane, keep duplicating it, and fit the pattern & how they're stacked. When you have all the candy canes laid, group them and apply an outer glow in red to the group. Add the text, and yer' golden. The canes are...
