+1 to this... to all of it. VHB is good. And use the real $tuff.

Good stuff - good to hear they helped out a bit in the end.

Thanks Addy, I think in your situation where you outsource, you have more of a need to standardise your 'rush' fees. Being a manufacturer/printer here, I don't really want to be a ***** and charge rush fees everytime someone needs something quick, because honestly... everyone wants...

Thanks Gino, I put on around 25%, they said OK, but I replied back and shaved $20 off and told them to shout themselves a nice lunch today. Win/Win I hope. Cheers!

So... I have a nice customer - who is insisting they pay extra for something to be done quicker than usual. I haven't really had to charge extra for speed because I'm usually ok for my customers' deadlines. In this particular case, I was asked if I could do it quicker (willing to pay for)...

That's a great idea for a gift! He'll love it!

Hey congratulations. I know with Rolands they always like to advertise the low quality speed most... but in reality, I hardly ever use those settings. My jobs require a good quality print. In saying that, how long does it take you on this machine to print, in good quality (not photo, but...

Please explain in detail how you applied, step by step, using the numbered list feature in the text box. Like This Please This way, it's heaps easier for people to figure out where you went wrong. Also provide details of cleaning methods, equipment, squeegee type etc. Also, a picture will...

^ that. and John, your avatar... 1000 words lol :)

For the record... the "no no" and "toxic" thing about cutting PVC is that it releases Chlorine gas (C stands for Chloride). This stuff makes you cough up blood by irritating your lungs, as was demonstrated in wartime. To the machine, yes, it just corrodes the metal components in the machine...

I'm by no means a religious man Gino, however this is a great supplement from the Bible, to Twain's "don't argue with a fool, spectators won't be able to tell who's who after a while". http://www.biblefood.com/foolques.html

I would go crazy very quick if i did $25! Surprisingly, the $60 crowd has me stumped more and more these last couple months. Usually it's the $80 crowd that drives me insane... coz the $60 "trade" type customers... they usually know what they're talking about... The last couple of...

Currently; $80 here for people without a clue - retail type one offish type stuff $60 for people who have a clue and know what they want/need Thinking of increasing to $120/$80 respectively. Would like to hear others... I remember I used to be at $30 a few years ago for small things... and...

That right there is very true. But... it relies on logic. If only logic existed in such abundance... Your supplier definitely should be helping you out here... hope you can find a way to get some assistance.

I have some clients who I have trained to supply files as; "1220x1220mm inc bleed - Trim to 1200x1200.eps" Others, I have trained to include material type, vinyl grade, positive or reverse print etc as well into the file name. Your supplier has failed to train you on how to correctly...

Great thread - Thanks Colorado. I am keen to see more information about the "bowing" and "print-cut registration" "issues" I have seen here and there. Also about what cutter people find is best to use with this printer - or is it much of a muchness? All decent cutters are fine? Also...

Excel here. Works fine and can easily customise it whenever I have the need.

The on screen colour can be whatever you like, as long as the spot colour is named correctly. The RIP doesn't "see" the colour, it sees the NAME.

True, but being able to choose a grey off roland color pallette I think is a pretty good way of knowing what grey you're going to get before printing. I make my own profiles, but grey is just grey... it could be warm grey, could be cool grey... I like being able to show someone the roland...
