We have a DTG (a horror story in itself); I doubt the pretreat is causing that particular problem although gixxer2004 is right that incorrect pretreat can cause issues with print quality Looks to me that the printer is not getting Cyan or Magenta ink but is getting white and black, which are...
To answer your question regarding outsourced products, we usually shoot for 35% - 50% Gross Margin on outsourced products depending on market competitiveness, risk, and size of order. (Gross Margin is the % of the sell price that is profit vs. markup which is a percentage of cost that is added...
Or if you really just need surge protection and clean power, you could purchase two of these https://smile.amazon.com/ESP-Digital-Protector-E524ZNT-Receptacle/dp/B074XFQTFB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543327519&sr=8-1&keywords=e524znt I have two on my 560.
Perhaps learn from my mistakes. I have a website that fulfills about 2000 shirts and during a slow time decided to convert from screen transfer to DTG thus allowing me to expand product to my wide-format customers. Spent a lot of time evaluating. There are numerous low volume hobbyist Epson...
Congratulations on a great start; you should be proud that you built the basis of a good business and recognize the need to scale. Sounds like a great family you have. Now back to the original question. You can hire lower skilled or less experienced people with good attitudes and train them...
We've looked at all sorts of order systems and most are unnecessarily complex for our 4 person shop. Best of them was Casper which is available as web-based or hosted locally. We use Quickbooks Pro (subscription) desktop for Invoicing/accounting and payroll and Outlook tasks (color code...
We used the Chemica Easyprint 1702 profile (12p) HP profile downloaded to our 560. Set temp at 195. Had to cut out a bit of magenta in Flexi as I recall.
I'll be the first of probably several to advise against buying that 26500 if you have not yet pulled the trigger. A good printer in its day, but will be buying first gen technology and worse yet used first gen which for under 10K you can buy HP's latest tech which is world's better. I have...
I agree with the others - made the move myself 18 months ago and it is night and day difference even though the 25500 was good for a first gen product.. One other suggestion, we use the supplied teflon covers for the heat unit (supposedly for banners) for everything, as we find that many vinyls...
I've used numerous wall papers, but for long term removable 40c with matte laminate provides better adhesion than wallpaper but long-term removal. Pricier, but fewer callbacks. Avery 2611 Okay but dimensionaly unstable so doesn't like to be laminated in our experience (pulls from liner maybe...
I like Johnny Best's plan. So much so I built basically same thing 8 years ago using 2X6' and those no-split screws used for mounting ledger boards for decks. Guttering on sides, Harbor freight castors. Made mine 5X9 to fit limited shop space. Have two similar smaller tables same height I...
On a side mote, we purchase retractors from Creative Banner who has a great selection, and use Grimco's rollup film with good success and decent profit.
Check out https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2316378 for a detailed discussion. It refers to converting color in InDesign, but it would work the same in Illustrator.
I'm interested in the outcome because we've had the same issues. I can't be sure, but I think this may be a Pantone issue. They change the CMYK values with each new book. I believe they license their library to Adobe which uses the existing library in effect at the time. I looked up 369C in...
We do a lot of large scale wall projects. After much trial and error with smooth films from GF, Avery (2611) etc. we find that 3m 40c is becoming our go-to. It is thinner (3mil) than 6mil wall films so conforms better to slightly textured surfaces and we laminate most wall film with 2.5 mil...
