  1. decal on top of wrap...

    It is possible, I've had it happen.
  2. General Formulations, good stuff?

    I stock the DPF8000 as well. I use the 201HTAP for painted walls, machinery and equipment, really anything where I'm dubious about our regular polymeric (Avery 2923) lasting. We previously use it for our wallpapers before Phototex. We still use it where it's a long-term wallpaper or if it needs...
  3. Update on signVOX, shopVOX - Finally

    $30 extra a month here, but I've been using it for a few years so I've probably been paying less until now. Or it might be the number of users we have. No prior notice of the increase either.
  4. General Formulations, good stuff?

    I've used a fair number of rolls of the 201HTAP and never had a problem. I haven't used any other series though.
  5. Why won't Versworks see the cut contour here????

    Yep, they're fills rather than outlines.
  6. Free stuff brands of the world....

    That's as far as I got in the registration process too.
  7. mutoh or latex?

    We're much the same, my latex and UV get the bulk of this printing and the 2 Rolands just run less critical jobs like banners and short term.
  8. Recent 3D Rendering / Design work

    Very impressive.
  9. Acrylic Adhesive Routing Issues

    Before we got our laser we had a few solutions (which we still use for routing ACM lettering) 1. Two tabs per piece approx 1/3 the depth of the material that can be easily filed off later 2. Cut only to the depth of the protective sheet, or apply application tape if the sheet doesn't have one...
  10. Marketing Tactics: Follow-Up On Completed Jobs

    Great article, well done. I agree with what you've said and definitely need to make this part of our sales process. On the flipside as a customer, I had a solar PV system installed at my home a fortnight ago. About 2-3 days later someone from the company called to make sure I was happy with the...
  11. Why didn't I think of that???? (scaling)

    I can't be bothered going into the maths right now, but I'd still rather scale a photo using the largest measurement possible. Besides the barrel distortion (which is going to be fairly large when scaling a whole building, and you're never going to be able to get far enough away to minimize it)...
  12. SignVOX vs ShopVOX

    I have 13 users, so assuming we'll need the PRO version that's $339 against the current $110.
  13. SignVOX vs ShopVOX

    I've been using Signvox for almost 3 years and have just started watching some Shopvox videos. We're general signwriters and Signvox handles our needs pretty well (there's features like assets, notes and tasks that we're only now getting better at using). My concern is that the added level of...
  14. A mini vent

    The irony is that there was probably a thread here a week ago with some industry Newb asking how to price a 12x48" sign. All the usual S101 suspects would have jumped on his back telling him that only he knows what his overheads are, to add the material costs, his overheads, a profit margin, and...
  15. Internet Sites for Vector Art

    I've got a subscription to Signelements.com. Seems to have enough variety for what we need and the vehicle templates are very handy.
  16. Where to get a template for Izuzu NRR box truck

    Isuzu NPR http://www.signelements.com/imagedetails/72930842_extInt0/NPR_14_01-Artstation-Isuzu%2DNPR.html
  17. What sign material does a laser can cut?

    As above plus papers, cardboard, leather, polyester, fabric, rubber, fibreglass, nylon, polystyrene, felt and more. Perhaps you could print on a self-adhesive paper, polyester or PVC-free vinyl like the 3M 480c (check product specs for material composition). My laser supplier did say that he...
  18. Employee promotion advice needed

    Operations manager.
  19. Collecting Final Payment

    Our accounts have decreased dramatically over the past few years since implementing the same payment policy. I've just written a new policy to combat the same problem you describe as we had a series of customers who were balance on completion but we're still waiting on final payment months...
  20. HP L260 print head life expectancy

    We average roughly 10L per head, don't print gutters or do any additional cleaning.
