    Type it into Google, there is probably an answer there.
  2. LOADED question: What do you charge for printing?

    Price per sq ft also has to do with the size of the job. If someone wants some printed viny; and it's only 2' X 3', $6.50/ft is a money losing proposition. One thing you might want to watch closely is your minimum charge. We try to have a minimum of $150/order, anything below that and the profit...
  3. Question Shall I make the change from Roland Xr-640 to a VG3-640?

    I posed your question to three people in my office. One of them said you should definitely upgrade, the other person said definitely not and the third person said they weren't sure.

  7. RE: Mutoh VJ-1628MH

    Varnish may have been the wrong word, they might call it clear. Yes MP31 inks I was just researching the model and was curious if it printed on plastics. Why is yours using so much ink, is it because of the white?
  8. RE: Mutoh VJ-1628MH

    Does anyone out there have experience using this model of Mutoh, or the 1627MH? They claim 2 1/2 year outdoor durability unlaminated, is that your experience? Also how does the ink perform on standard vinyls? How about on plastics like polystyrene and polyethylene? Are you running with the white...
  9. Established sticker business looking to stop outsourcing

    If you making money and outsourcing, I'd stick with it. Industrial space, utilities, insurance, equipment and employee payroll are a nightmare. You'll then be posting for advice on how to manage those problems. Get more sales and do it from your home office. Go on vacation when you want to.

    You spent 6 months trying to get this machine running? Do yourself a favor, sell it for parts, buy a brand new Roland for $400 a month payments and start printing $500 to a $1000/day In real jobs. You'll have it paid off in no time and be done with all this trouble shooting nonsense. Are you in...
  11. I was hired to wrap a vehicle and now they are mad at me... my blood pressure is through the roof!

    If the designer who originally made the artwork was getting paid for his time, make him earn it. Kick faulty artwork back to the designer as often as necessary. Also, why should the printer do 'free' tweaks to the artwork. If the graphic designer got paid, so should we if changes are made to the...
  12. Extend lease or buy new building?

    Owning has some serious advantages for sure. 10,000 Sq ft is a pretty substantial building. Be sure you get a very professional engineers report before closing on the loan. We own our location but roof repairs over the years have added up $$$. The building is less than 25 years old. New...
  13. help deciding on a new purchase. latex or eco solvent. My breakdown on Roland BN20a vs HP115 latex is hopefully at least informative

    I would sub out your orders till you build steam, then get a printer. Sell, sell, sell, keep subbing out.

    You should look for a good paying job as a purchasing agent. You're an excellent researcher.
  15. Niagara Falls

    Corning Glass Works and Corning Glass Museum might be worth stopping for also. I remember going through Glass Works as a kid, the Museum is newer.
  16. Matching paint codes to CMYK Latex

    Of all colors to run into! Orange is one of the toughest. Many printer manufacturers have gone so far as to add an orange ink cartridge to get closer. I'd print some swatches on your vinyl and then bring them to the truck and compare. An exact match would be tough. Send us some pics when your...

    This one might be worth a try, great price, free shipping.... :oops...
  19. Niagara Falls

    When I was a kid and went with my parents, one evening we put a blanket out on the grass nears the falls and the Parks Dept lit up the Horse Shoe Falls for everybody with different color flood lights. Back in 1966 that was pretty big stuff and considered a highlight of the trip. I don't know if...
