  1. Preventing Ghosting for leased vehicles

    I would say to tell the customer of the possibility of ghosting in writing. We once had a customer sue us for the cost of a paint job when we sold her magnets that trapped water in her clear coat. creating a cloudy appearance. Don't know if it was our fault for not telling her how to care for...
  2. Applying aluminum sign to side of large garbage type truck

    I think you can over-think this. The question is, do you want to make frames or want to make money? Admittedly, I haven't done a ton of stake bodies, but have done a few and never had a problem with aluminum, but discovered ACM tears and cracks. A solid piece of aluminum, some sealant (not going...
  3. Happy Thanksgiving Yall

    I see that everyone made the same mistake - and we did as well. We all forgot the cranberry sauce / gel. I'm going to open a can of cranberry gel tonight. And have it with pizza !
  4. Applying aluminum sign to side of large garbage type truck

    Thank you for clarifying...Information gets passed down and one continues the process. I'll stand by those self-driving Tek screws though, but will install on the non-hammer setting.
  5. I remember..

    Get off of my lawn!
  6. Applying aluminum sign to side of large garbage type truck

    .063 sheets in black, so .063 it is ! And/Or offer the .080 at a premium price. No discount on the heavy stuff as painting or wrapping is involved...If you use ACM, it will eventually tear, but .063 should hold up for a few years and .080 for a bit more. ITW Buildex self-driving screws (though...
  7. Need Help Roland VP-540 Connection Problems

    ....And what the heck, this thread is from 2018. Arg.
  8. Need Help Roland VP-540 Connection Problems

    Again, if you can find a local Roland expert, consult with them.... However, it looks like you are using VersaWorks and may not be up to date on your latest firmware. To update your firmware, go to Edit/Preferences/Roland@Net and select Japan if USA or Germany or other country is greyed out...
  9. In the market for cheaper laminator.

    We bought a 60" DMAIS laminator on toolots.com for less than $2,000 a couple years ago and it's been tremendous - knock on wood. Chinese made and comes without instructions, but it was easy enough to figure out. It has a heating element too, but we've never used it. (I'm a little afraid of...
  10. Dealing with cheap real estate agents

    I have one real estate customer and not taking any more. That said, digging holes with a post hole digger seemed like too much work, so I got a power auger from Harbor Freight for about $200. Problem solved? The first - and last - job I did with my power auger was at a site with very little...
  11. HP Latex 360 Printer cost per square foot?

    $.04/ft. given my other ballpark figures. Not insignificant.
  12. HP Latex 360 Printer cost per square foot?

    Don't forget depreciation. Price of the machine/years of use/sq. ft. per year of material. For example, $20,000/5 years....$4,000 / 16,000 sq. ft. (per year) = $.25 per sq. ft. This is an example as I have no idea what an HP printer costs or how many sq. feet you print per year.
  13. Feed moves while detecting crop marks

    Roland VersaCamm VS 540 user here. On our machine, if all or part of the right crop mark is lined up with the right roller, the machine will read the right mark, but search unsuccessfully for the left crop mark.
  14. Flexi 21

    My Flexi Design 19 has a Send to EnRoute button. I assume it works. I believe Flexi is on 21 now and expect to see the EnRoute button on that when we upgrade, though I can't confirm. When we installed VersaWorks on the same computer as Flexi 19, the VersaWorks button strangely went away for...
  15. Window perf lifting in corners... solutions?

    Sometimes we use a 3/8" or 1/2" strip of black vinyl on the edges if we have to trim back from the edges or the edges lift.

  18. Anyone Going to the SEMA Show Nov. 2 - 5

    Anyone Going to the SEMA Show Nov. 2 - 5? Likely to have cutting edge wraps and wrap suppliers there. Learned a lot when I went about 5 years ago. Going again this year.
  19. Roland SP-540i or VP-540

    I'm familiar with the SP and VS, but not the VP. The SP prints well, but is fairly slow and in our experience, had some occasional issues with the ribbon and measurement strip. It was a good machine in its day, but today would be more hassle than it's worth. In my opinion. No experience with...
