  1. Need help buying my first printer!

    The problem with marketing qualifications is they tend to be overly simplistic and make the flawed assumption that multi nationals and small businesses can be lumped into the same group. Walmart sells thousands of commodity products which they don't manufacture. Thanks to their retail power...
  2. Then there's snow.................

    I heard that the reason why we drive on the left (correct) side of the road is due to the preferences of medieval knights. Most people are right handed.. that'd be your sword hand. Wearing your sword on your left hip and drawing it diagonally across your body is the most ergonomic way to fight...
  3. Static Issue

    You could try rolling the carrier film off. If you whip the carrier film off the sheet in one quick movement it increases the amount of static... if you slowly roll the carrier film back onto itself the static charge is reduced and the tacky side of the carrier acts like a sticky roller trapping...
  4. How much for that wrap?!?!?

    This thread just goes to show that when it comes to pricing you're ALWAYS wrong.... Charge too little and you're a lowball scumbag. Charge more than other people do and you're a drooling semi skilled retard who can't apply vinyl for toffee. The last thing I wrapped was my own van... it took...
  5. What CNC Router should I buy

    AXYZ, Multicam machines can be sourced from UK suppliers very easily. If you decide to buy from a UK supplier I'd do all the leg work via email and then hop on a plane to Heathrow so you can actually see what you're buying in the flesh... last time I flew to Cyprus a return ticket was only...
  6. what is this business coming to

    Timing is everything.... a cheap small scale vinyl cutter might have been a great business idea 25 years ago.... Roland even made the Dr Stika machine just for this niche application. 25 years ago this technology was brand spanking new, not many people had the machinery... those who managed to...
  7. What brand name of computer do you use? Just purchased T400 today

    I love a good Dell with XP on it.... we must have at least a dozen dotted about the place.. I've also got one at home. We even have a couple of ancient machines running Win98. Right now we're stocking up on as many used WinXP Dell's as we can get our hands on.... we don't need quad core this or...
  8. Challenger

    If they could afford a real car there would be a nice shiny BMW M5 or AMG Mercedes sitting on the driveway... surely?
  9. Finishing HDU

    If you want to do a lot of painted work then you need a spray booth, you need high end spray guns and you need to be using automotive paints. Roller applied or brushed on house paint will always look like cr@p compared to a properly sprayed automotive finish... I'm a little surprised that...
  10. Negative Comments, What to do?

    Good luck if some scum bucket infringes your copyright by cutting & pasting your stuff onto their GoDaddy hosted website..... you won't get it removed and GoDaddy will pretend you don't exist.
  11. Floods in Brisbane, QLD Australia

    It's headline news here in Britain.... lots of families worried about Australian relatives..... people already asking when HMG is going to start offering assistance and start to organise an emergency public appeal for the cash needed to help rebuild Queensland...
  12. memjet wide format - extreme speed

    Ah ha, that name does ring a rather large bell :) As I remember one of the "benefits" this machine had is you could wheel it around.... if you wanted to paint one of those fancy "muriel" things you simply setup the contraption in front of your blank wall surface and then hit "start". I guess...
  13. memjet wide format - extreme speed

    Digital airbrush machines.... We used one many moons ago to print a bus wrap for a large fast food restaurant chain.. the results were pretty sweet if I recall. I think it worked like a CNC flat bed on it's side... the media was stretched tight and held vertical whilst the gantries flew around...
  14. Vendor Agreement

    One sheet material supplier I know of sells their branded material into as many small and medium sized sign shops as they can..... Meanwhile on the quiet this same supplier has sneakily setup a complete fabrication and graphic marking factory which targets the same end users as their small sign...
  15. Looking for help on Printers and getting into the wrap business

    That must be why I hardly EVER see a wrapped vehicle when I'm tootling around the UK.... I know LOTS of sign companies have spent a fortune equipping themselves for wrap work.... I just wondered where all the wrapping work was?! Personally I wouldn't DREAM of spending a penny on wrapping...
  16. The New DeLorean...

    I think Chrome vehicles are the ultimate expression of vulgarity.... like the silly gangster singer chaps who take a beautiful Bentley and ruin it by slapping on silly chrome pram wheels and plastering it with every conceivable piece of automotive tat they can find.
  17. Ford Transit Connect (the new baby sprinter)

    The best bet is to google for "Impact vehicle outlines" Transit Connect is a European design as is the Merc Sprinter... Impact is one of the best collections of accurate Vector outlines for European vehicles... they've got everything, every Connect model including the stretched version, all the...
  18. Where can I buy 5' fluorescent bulbs

    Fluorescent Tube is the correct term.
  19. Feedback on COLEX digital cutters

    If you dig about a bit on Google you'll find Colex is associated with an Italian company called fotoba... I'm betting Colex are the US agents for this firm. Fotoba look like they know what they're doing... plus they are European not Chindian which for your application can only be a good thing :)
  20. Adapting your business in the coming year

    I'm planning to stay in bed..... Spending cuts, public sector layoff's, VAT rises, National Insurance increases, inflation running well over target, mutterings of interest rate rises and a nice juicy Euro Zone crisis to wash it all down with. Misery and penury awaits the intrepid business man...
