We use standard #2 grommets all the time on coroplast. Our press has a stop we can adjust so it doesn't crush the coroplast.

You for sure want a stand-alone plotter so you can cut while still printing. I would go with Summa or Graphtec. If you not wanting a cartridge per say go with Epson. They are 1.5L bags and if you get the right machine they carry backups on board that swap when one bag is empty to the fresh...

Here is what we do. Have the printer print the job name at the bottom that will get trimmed off with however you want to label them for example A1-A12, B1-B12 etc. Then we write that on tape when we trim and after it is rolled up we put the tape holding the roll that way when on site you look...

We are lucky enough to be able to print the Color/White/Color. The back print is at a 50% color as it is not seen. the front print looks good in the daytime and the layered print makes it not wash out when the lights are on.

Problem with doing that is in the daytime the colors are off.

I know they have different types. We do not have to mix anything and use about 5-6 5 liter pails a year. Ours cures using their conveyor with a high intensity light so it cures in about 15 seconds.

We use Dymax for our resin that we use on name badges. How are you curing these?

It's really not out of the norm though and I am not arguing either. There are different ways to operate, and I can promise that in my area charging that much you would have no work. 34 years of business we must be doing what works with our geographic area. Not everyone charges by the sq ft.

This whole conversation is about what to charge the customer not company profit. If your company is profiting $1000 + per hour, hats off to you but that is not realistic in all areas of the country.

the customer doesn't dictate when I am in and out I do. Also look at the replies and not just the one that backs your narrative. AMS replied that his vinyl labor rate for 2 people is $80/hr. solo said his crew can do 3,000sqft wall in 1 day. 10sacer said he charges $400/hr + travel and...

Depends on what you charge per hour. We charge a higher per hour rate on provided material since we are not making money on the product as well as the difficulty of the install. Depends on what part of the country you are in as well because $9,000 to $22,000 based on your numbers won't work...

So, if we are not providing any material and only installing provided materials how are we leaving money on the table charging by the hour. What do you charge for outside of labor hours? If we get a job where we print vinyl we charge each separate. I quote the print job and another line item...

pricing doesn't change for a trade show vs any other type of install. We charge by the hour including travel on all installs.

That is odd I have been running my 560 for 5+ years and have next to nothing in it.

Make sure the power switch on the power box below where the router is stored is on. It has happened to me where I bumped it off when installing the router.

Being a distributor and trash talking other people's equipment isn't very professional. I bet that Vutek cost more than the printers you sell. There is nothing wrong with his printer choice and your comment had nothing to do with his question.

We have been using a banner material that does not require a hem as it does not fray. We use this for quick and easy senior banners. Just found out that the material will no longer be available. Does anyone have any suggestions on a banner material that would not require a hem?

Not familiar with that printer specifically but I would try and purge the ink it could have an air bubble in it. Does the nozzle check stay the same or do the missing nozzles move around. If they move around it is an air bubble. If they are the same it is clogged. You can flush the heads as...

I would say the Summa being misaligned needs to be fixed as I have cut rolls of contour cut stickers without any issues on our 30". If we had not bought a Zund, I would have gotten a larger Summa. I will say though I much rather cut on our Zund as is it crazy fast but they are not cheap.

a simple google search shows that is a 30"
