Yep, it can be a challenge. The way we were taught years ago is to use a piece of coroplast a little wider than the laminate and about 6 inches deep. Once you have the edge of the lam peeled away from backer and hanging down a couple of inches from the backer takeup roller (backer taped to...

I'll take a look - thanks.

Just curious - I use Square to occasionally manually enter when and have had a great experience. Something I'm missing? We also use their online invoicing also which allows customer to enter own card information securely on line.

I'm probably like most here with a tendency to recommend the technology we chose ourselves. I started seven years ago have had two latex machines - love the low maintenance, no wait for lamination, good print durability un-laminated (decals, wallpaper etc.). We use our obsolete latex 25500 to...

Two things to try: Clean contacts in carriage where printheads are inserted. If still getting error, swap positions of two cartridges of same color to verify if cartridge is bad or something is wrong elsewhere in ink delivery system.

Respectfully, I believe your accountant may be dealing with out of date information. I initially had my CPA check this out and he sounded surprised at the time (early 2017) to find out the law had changed. Check out...

You might consider a Small Business Qualified Health Reimbursement Plan (QHRP). These became legal in 2017. You can legally reimburse employees up to a set annual amount (mine is $2700) with a monthly maximum of 1/12 of that. . You must use a third party administrator (mine is Peoplekeep)...

Welcome to the forums. Since that's primarily a photographic printer, I'm not sure of it's media handling capabilities other than photo papers. As Chicago Graphics noted, it is for indoor prints. If it will print on adhesive vinyl you could mount your prints on foamboard/gator board. Another...

Stouse or Gill Label, probably butt cut label with lamination based on the gloss. Although we do small qty. at good margins all the time on our HP latex - usually in sheets on 30" substrate.

You want to use the correct color swatches in Illustrator to match the pprinted Pantone guide you are using. For example we use the Pantone Color Bridge Coated + book, and the corresponding CMYK color swatches can be found in Illustrator Window/Swatches/Library/Color Books. Pantone Color Bridge...

Staples $2 recycle.

For what it's worth, I've built several PC's for our own design use. If I were to do it over I would use a third party just to save time and aggravation getting everything optimized. Probably the most common misconception would be to focus on a graphics card. Unless you plan on doing heavy...

Wow - did you eat something that disagreed with you? I wouldn't share any of this with a customer except that " I can do that order for X" . A fellow shop owner asked my shop rate and I tried to respond in a helpful manner.

That's my labor cost . Our 'shop rate' is $76.65

An interesting exercise. I would inform the customer that we have a minimum order. Ran it through my pricing spreadsheet and it does not meet our minimum for print/cut decals (3 linear feet @ 54" including waste, spacing etc). If bumped to our minimum would yield 600 decals @.18 each or $108...

We also use a Seal (Base 62) w/ assist, but unlike Bly's experience , we find ourselves using heat fairly frequently to eliminate silvering, particularly on less expensive calendared films for. Your question reminds me of the choices I made seven years ago when I started my business. I...

We are a busy four person small-town shop with two who regularly use the phone. After 5 years of spotty VOIP service (8X8 blames Charter and Charter blamed 8x8) I ported my business number to an AT&T cellular-based home phone for $26/month. Before you start laughing, let me explain. We ordered...

I started my business seven years ago with the L25500. We added the 560 4 months ago with the idea we would just run banners on the 25500. First day, the operator came in at noon and was finished with the schedule we had lined up that normally was a day's work. Now my operators don't even...

We've done hundreds of perf installations. I've had the exact same windows fail at edges and then last 4 years when installed with 3M edge seal tape, so a big proponent of edge seal. Also, we just clean with alcohol.

Also, there is a test in the diagnostic menu to test the buttons on the front panel.
