  1. Wholesale discount

    He may be fishing to see if he can get a few more dollars off. I would let him know you have already given him your B2B discount. True also that 10 sqft is a very small amount to expect a big discount
  2. How long to you warranty wraps?

    Bubbles are installer error as well. This is your business and not a settlement, so if you want to keep your customer and have them spread good things about you then you should stand behind your work and be willing to correct most of these things. As to Cracks, all manufacturers offer a material...

  5. New flatbed recommendations

    FWIW, we have the same machine and I highly recommend against using a filter in the chiller - had one fail during a heavy ink job with both lamps on, lead to an ink line melting and a mess. FluidColor says you don't really need to use a filter as long as you change the water and and use a...
  6. Graphic In File Causing Color to Print Incorrectly?

    Two tips on things that worked for us: 1. rasterize the doctor 2. ungroup the doctor Don't try both, just one at a time. There is an issue going on in the RIP that is causing this. Most likely the desired color is a screen percentage of a color and the screen drops out. Sometimes grouping...
  7. Which plotter to replace my CE6000? Used FC8600 OR New CE7000 ?

    Both are good but I favor the FC series as they put more down force and cut reflective with ease. The 8600 was discontinued in favor of the 9000 series. Here are some old threads about this: https://www.signs101.com/threads/graphtec-ce6000-120-or-fc8600-130.129753/...

  10. Need Help Corona treated coro? How to tell

    Ask your supplier. For instance Harbor Sales sells treated, Grimco sells untreated. But best advice is to wipe all coro with an adhesion promoter.
  11. General Formulations GF830 ANY GOOD? (with drift, cast wrap vinyl)

    FWIW, General Formulations is not some random company - they are one of only two American companies who manufacture here in the USA, they are debt free which allowed them to invest in more raw material as we entered Covid so that they could stay in stock. Their packaging is very plain, and maybe...
  12. Bubbles with metallic vinyl

    It looks to me like the substrate is moving while you squeegee. Do you have a sheet of steel or steel composite (SCM) around? Even a metal door? If so, that would allow you to flatten the magnet, getting the arch out of it, and keep it from moving while you squeegee. We use a table laminator to...
  13. General Formulations GF830 ANY GOOD? (with drift, cast wrap vinyl)

    Haven't used GF830 over rivets yet, but it lays really nice. It is engineered for cold stretch and not warm but otherwise similar to many wrap vinyl. I like it. That said, it cost them less than the 3M stuff to fulfill their part of the agreement. I would want the promised material even just to...
  14. UV Printer Newbie Question

    I would add two things - you can finance, and you get what you pay for. Quality and durability come at a cost; there are machines that cost much more and are even more productive if you have the volume of work. There are also machines that cost less and have terrible issues and go through heads...
  15. UV Printer Newbie Question

    Forgot to mention MarkSnelling on here sells them. He is always on here answering questions. They have a lot of models, so best to chat and see what would work for you.
  16. How to get a more accurate ink-level reading?

    On our XR-640 you just go to the machine, go to menu, go down like 8 times to Ink Remaining and open that. It is still bars, but they are more accurate bars.
  17. I have a question about handtop uv hybrid print reverse function.

    Here are the settings I use - slightly different version of TopJet. What I believe is happening is that your parameters under Print Mode/Layout are creating a situation where you are pushing the start point too far out into the print area of the machine so that adding the job size to the...
  18. UV Printer Newbie Question

    We got the 4x8ft and between 90&100k for CMYK plus White and one row of Ricoh Gen 6 heads. They have promotions sometimes and I think we caught one. Now the price included setup, ink, and training. Be advised you need to be able to get it off a box truck and into your building. We used a flatbed...
  19. Bleed?

    On a window graphic we only allow 3/8" bleed all around: 1.5 inch is ridiculous and a sign that the widows were no measured. That much extra material makes the corners much harder to apply and trim. Now on a panel for a wrap, we leave several inches to make it easier to line up panel and to...
