  1. Question Upgrade for Epson S80600

    I agree with recommending a 60600 over an 80600 if you're looking for fast output. The colors are awesome, we never miss the other additional ink colors here and no customer issues. The few times a year you actually need to print white just outsource that job.
  2. polycarbonate stickers for instrument panels

    I bet you they are looking for reverse printed LexEdge decals, printed on a Gerber Edge and backed with 3M 467 adhesive. They are scratchproof and permanent. We do a lot of them for companies that make equipment that starts with a key, like generators, etc.
  3. Semi Trailer Price - Help

    Your price is your price, not everyone has the same expenses and base costs. I know we receive good pricing on our materials, but we do buy a lot. I do not see how anyone can sell a print THAT cheap though on cast materials.
  4. Need Help Foil Cracking

    Looks like uneven tension from top to bottom. Can you add some sacrificial extra yellow along the bottom to add some more pull down there? I've had to rotate some designs 180 degrees to get an Edge to print them correctly before also.
  5. Need help from really experienced Roland techs.

    Could be a lot of things. We are going to have to know what RIP you are using and what marks you have set up in it.
  6. Semi Trailer Price - Help

    Here in the midwest we are around $5000 for a 54ft trailer. Do a lot of them at that price, 3M 180c/8519. Install with 2 guys is 1 day. Corrugated trailers add another day.
  7. Huge Mistake, vinyl on paint

    You could possibly use a gloss clear coat spray paint over top of the current paint to get a nice "smooth" glossy finish to adhere the lettering to. Recently painted a stained wood sign and it was a nightmare to get the stencil to stick so we could get the lettering painted. Took a few coats of...
  8. Vinyl Roll Storage

    It was me with the end caps screwed into plywood boxes. Never had any (domino) issue with them this way at our old shops or here either. It allows you to store and label a lot of materials easily.
  9. For Owners/Managers

    We used to do them around 8:30 every day, but it does interrupt the morning workload and it was harder to know about the no-shows and other glitches that are unforeseeable at that point. It also has some to do with UPS pickup schedule (around 2:00pm, and a lot of customers require a bunch of...
  10. For Owners/Managers

    We have our 15-20 minute daily production dept meetings here; different time every morning usually around 9-10am. We have around 15 total employees and 6 are in production, usually the owner steps into the meeting if he is available. We go through our schedule for yesterday through 5 days out...
  11. Gerber Infinity II Plotter error messages

    I have had a few of the X/Y optical axis sensors go out over the years. Sounds like your sensor is either going out or just might have a scrap of vinyl/paper stuck in it.
  12. Thoughts on the Epson s70670?

    We've never had bad ink for any of ours either. One is still printing here; must be a ton of miles on that machine. Last one to die had a mainboard issue that killed it but was printing fine until then.
  13. Graphic Designer needed in Ventura CA. / Full Time

    It looks like you do quality work, should be a good position for the right candidate!
  14. What Price for Vinyl Only?

    Government work usually means lots of paperwork, etc for every piece. I would weed them all with a .1" box around them so that they're all the same height after you mask them and cut them down. Sounds like a lot of work to me, even though others here think it's a half day job. I would definitely...
  15. Thoughts on the Epson s70670?

    They work fine, we used them for years. Set up a profile in your RIP that only uses CMYK and you wont have that much fading. The additional inks fade pretty quick and the yellow also fades over time quicker than the other colors.
  16. Question Vinyl on Perf

    Use Phototex (or similar) for the overlays for a clean removal.
  17. 3M Materials Shortage

    It's still ongoing. We order 10 rolls of 180c at a time, and the day they arrive we order 10 more. Now we have 3 rolls left and no more here yet, scary days ahead! We are also waiting on 8519 now the same way, down to 1 full roll of that... No idea when/if 480 or SLS will ever arrive.
  18. where I can get template for Club Car Villager 8

    It looks like the rear and seat area might be the same as this one, but you will probably have to make your own "hood" template. https://www.signs101.com/threads/free-stuff-for-yall.118411/post-1285438
  19. Advise on horrible customer

    If he looks to be a pain, he might just drop you over nothing the same way you can drop him even if you deal with his ****. There's no contract or guarantee ever of future work (from or for) him by either party. I'd be out looking for a few more good customers just in case he messes things up...
