GRRRR. Avery and their discontinuing colors BS. There is a fleet we use Medium Marine Gray on, and the color is discontinued. I'm trying to see if a supplier has any left, and I've failed so far. I've checked Harbor, Fellers, Beacon, and Grimco. Where else should I look? If I can't get a...

Hi, I have to quote an install for a construction fence windscreen, and we've never installed one before, but I can't imagine its hard. Anyway, its 6ft x 260ft on a chain link fence, is 12 man-hours a reasonable amount to charge? Also, best way to install is with zip ties, correct? Finally...

We have been ordering from Pioneer but they were bought by Grimco who doesn't carry Mimaki Inks. I've looked at other places that I've ordered from in the past, and I can't find anyone who is still carrying OEM. Well, I found one, but I don't like to order from them if I don't have to.

I have a job labeling the back doors (painted steel) of a large apartment complex. They have to be reflective... which way would you do it? Its qty 150 doors, and the numbers will be about 2.5" tall. If i use alumin, I'll installed it with VHB.

When do you cancel installs? In light rain, is that an automatic reschedule of any outdoor work? We have to install a 4x8 carved sign on a facade, and we'll be using a scissor lift (which we rent). The top of the sign is about 12-13' off the ground, and we're hanging it with a french cleat...

We are in a small strip mall. There is a print shop at the far end who is impossible to do work with so we just don't get along. A few years ago the owner stormed into our store demanding that we stop selling business cards, and we just were like "whatever dude, go away." Its not like we...

We have a ustech cold laminator and its been great. But after 4 years of regular use, the rollers no longer have grip, its almost as if the paper back of the vinyl/laminate have burnished them smooth. They are still smooth (no nicks) and round, but even with good pressure, material doesn't...

that G is killing me.

I have a client who requested we wrap his hood with clear for protection from road debris. What material should we use? I was thinking we could just use cast overlaminate, but my partner just reminded me that 1. its thin and tears easily and 2. its not air egress. The hood is pretty swoopy, and...

Our CJV30-130 is out of warranty at this point, so we are considering switching to non-oem ink. Has anyone switched with no issues? We were frightened into only using Mimaki ink when we bought our machine, but at this point, it kills me to drop so much loot on ink. What brands have you used...

We recently switched our business from a partnership LLC to an S-corp. The headache of not having a paycheck to verify income was getting to be way too much, but now I feel like I made a big mistake. I called my insurance agent to make the switch, and he needs to write a new policy. I had...

What do you say (without snark) when someone asks, in writing, what your cut-vinyl vehicle lettering warranty is?

For the past 2 weeks, I've been trying to set up ShopVOX with a brand new Quickbooks Online Plus account. In October 2017, QBO changed how sales tax works for their customers (not for the better, but I'll talk about that later.) I have spent over 6 hours with QBO on the phone, at least 2 hours...

I'm about to lose my mind. Has anyone RECENTLY set up ShopVox with Quickbooks online? I keep having problems, and its a combination of issues. I keep asking SV questions, but they don't appear to understand what the issue is, and can't answer my questions. Its insane, and I cannot imagine...

I am trying really hard to get ALL of my books in better order for 2018. My previous method worked fine for year end tax reporting purposes, but we need to do better. My old accountant / bookkeeper didn't really care to help us use data to make good decisions, but we hired someone new who is...

Is there anything more than increasing the pressure if I want to cut the stickers through the backer paper? Doesn't doing this destroy the blade? What about the cutting strip? We also have a Graphtec FC7000, but for print&cut we usually use the Mimaki.

We don't do a lot of window perf, and of course the only roll we have in stock is expired. (we printed and laminated it anyway, and of course we can't get the backer off. argh) I did a quick search but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. What do you recommend for LONG TERM...

Which is more durable? Direct to garment or printing on sihl t-printz with my mimaki using ES3 inks? We've been doing more and more full color heat press shirts, and honestly, i'd rather send it out. BUT I have shirts that I made myself with T-Printz that have been washed at least 50 times and...

Please! Thank you!

Does anyone have an ASI membership? Do you even need it? I am ordering some napkins from a supplier I've never used before, and they asked if I had one. I looked it up, and its pretty expensive for a shop that doesn't do a lot of promo... And I don't really see the benefit when I can use...
