No, they would require me to be able to print 2000x2400. The units are wanting to move around 6-10 different venues over a 12 month period. So, each unit needs to be flatpackable. It's for a touring ballet company.

Luxury business cards are strictly for psychopaths and their coke snorting associates

Client is interested, despite obscene quote (this is not my regular area of production, so went with 2.5x material costs). Does this make sense for production design (they'll be providing the artwork). Rough calculation puts this at 40+ hours printing - I might need to upgrade to a faster...

Two days delivery on that not very taught example. I don't advertise rush service, nor instant production, but if I've got to take a hit for material delivery and service interruption, I'll pass that on in the quote.

Reasonable clients, I ask them to not look at the original (flourescent) colours, but does this (the print proof preview) please you? Most times, the answer is yeah, looks good. Other times, I refer them to one or another firm up town, who have way more expensive facilities, and customer service...

I've occasionally charged a rush. One, the fee paid for a taxi to pick my son up from training, paid for the pizza delivered to him (and one to me), and the additional hours I worked. Client needed the job, knew it was an inconvenience, and asked me to bill them for making sure the work was...

These on the right pond are standard estate agent window fodder. Childs play to switch content in and out. There will be a whole host of fixings that can grip the (typically 2mm wire) that are held in place with small allen keys.

Perhaps a diminuative someone called Robert could pursuade the boss to lift to an R2R. Gratuitous link

That looks like a matt laminate - it will always(?) drop the blackpoint down, as the matt surface is deigned to scatter the light and reduce reflections.

Or a sheet of dibond with a dinged corner!

The day I got my first snitty (yellow tools via signgeer), was a day of joy! From my limited experience, not all laminator manufacturers supply service instructions. Almost makes a 3k machine look tempting (and it has the option of vertical knives).

I hope that the laminator has put through sufficient work to make the replacement a cost of learning curve. I'd look up, and contact the manufacturer to see how much shipping a new top roller (with fitting instructions) costs, as well as delivery time. Then decide if it is worth the down time...

Thank you both, I thought it should work, but just wanted to run things past those who own the T-shirts.

A client is asking me to produce 20-40 correx toblerones, each face 800x2000mm. I can print this on self adhesive polyprop, and laminate with polyprop (no vinyl allowed). I'd get in 6mm (possibly 10mm) correx, and cut the return for each face, and join with velcro. The printed images need to be...

Picture framing wire with matching ferrules, ie https://lionpic.co.uk/p/9342/Picture-Hanging-Wire-Silver-058mm-11kg-100m, and a crimping tool.

obviously using a funky advanced exotic heuristic algorithm

Sounds like you owe Matt, and Burton a beer.

A possibly dumb suggestion - get a template cut, 0.5mm out from a decent sheet of 8x4' (dibond 3mm?), something that has moderate thickness skins*, something that has reasonable dimensional stability, to accomodate the pre-cuts. Might allow you to drop (nudge) the blanks in, rather than going by...

Dan Berg, are you out there?

Time for a refresh, when the girls win the 1600 mile relay this year, next, And the following. Like is as a solution.
