  1. Anyone wholesale big cut vinyl?

    I had a customer come in and need just one giant white cut decal for the side of a trailer that a bodyshop is repainting. I don't have to install it, and I really don't want them tying up my shop too bad since they'll take up so much room. I need (4) that are 5.5' circles basically that need...
  2. What do you tell the guy that wants "car graphix"

    And yes, I spelled it goofy because all "those guys" seem to think their car is worthy of it's own way of spelling. I have this "kid" emailing me because I did a business job for his dad. He just had a white van, already had a logo, it was one color, I did the job in like an hour, and...
  3. C&C Engraving

    I just gotta say...every time I work with these guys, they blow me away with their customer service. Gene and Lenore are top notch! I've ordered a couple bigger orders that shipped directly to the customer, and I just needed ONE 4" X 8" sign, and Gene acted like I was his only customer even...
  4. Using red, white, and black together...

    Someone posted a visual, I think maybe Dan, a few weeks ago, and I can't find it for some reason. It showed several different contrast combo's using the colors together, and I wanted to use it for an example. Anyone remember what that thread was called?
  5. Where can I buy premade catalog style vehicle graphics?

    I haven't really ever gotten into the "here's a catalog see if there's anything you like" part of vehicle graphics, but I do a lot of work for a body shop here in town, and I need to match these (if possible) or if not, just find some options of possible things close to this. They will be...
  6. Glow-In-The-Dark Vinyl

    I ordered some of this stuff that Feller's sells, and I have no clue how long it'll last, should be a while since it's indoors, and the stuff is crazy expensive...but you lay that down for your background and then lay vinyl on top of it...that stuff is SO AWESOME. We did some for a factory here...
  7. Where do I find these step stakes?

    I've not done a TON of digging because I figured if someone had ordered them before they could save me the screwing around, but I haven't ever seen these from any of my suppliers before, and I have a customer that wants them....anyone know?
  8. 90 Seconds or less?

    I'm assuming the "answer your call in 90 seconds or less" isn't in play at Feller's anymore.
  9. Raising heads on a JV3

    I know that there is a "thick" and "thin" setting on my JV3, but I had to take a bunch of cover parts off because I was having issues, and just wanted to be able to keep a eye on my lines going into the damper and print heads. I tried putting all the parts back on once, but didn't ever have any...
  10. Is this a crazy low bid for a wrap?

    I had someone contact me about a wrap last week. I normally basically don't even bother figuring up a cost because in the past, every price they get is basically giving away the material and their time. I wouldn't be printing my wrap in house, so maybe that's where the problem lies. I added...
  11. Have you given your big squeegee a hug today?

    I just laid down (16) 4' X 4' prints in a matter of what seemed a couple hours. That included my normal distractions in the office, and eating lunch. Every time I have a bunch like that to do, I remember the good ole days when it took forever, and still had a couple wrinkles in it. It was...
  12. Printed Foam Footballs

    I had a customer come in wanting printed foam footballs (the mini Nerf-like ones) and I told him I'd have to do some research. Does anyone know of a wholesale place, or am I basically just going to need to use whoever comes up on google? I tried doing a search, but all I got was a ton of Tim...
  13. Fence Contractor UV Material

    I had a fence installer in town come in and need 75 signs to put up on fences that they install. I was hoping to possibly sub these out to someone (if I can figure out what materials work best) but what he brought me was a piece of Sintra/PVC. He said he'd had some yellow ones that my grandpa...
  14. Is a large sheet of magnetic a bad idea?

    I know magnets are a bad idea for vehicle solutions in general, but nevertheless, people still want them. I have a guy driving across the country in a truck that already has graphics on it it sounds like, and he wants to cover them up. He is asking for sizes like: 48" X 27" and 12" X 24"...
  15. Where do you buy frames and blanks?

    I normally order from Bull Steel, but now they changed their website "back" to where you can't order from it online, or get pricing, and they last time told me "It's to HELP YOU OUT!" I was like, WHAT! So now, you have to beg them for price sheets, then I just called and was on hold like 15...
  16. What REALLY causes heads to go out?

    I have a 6+ year old Mimaki JV3 here, and I have had multiple service people tell me that they're amazed that my heads have lasted this long. I also remember when the installer came to install the printer when it was new, he said "head strikes are what ruin your heads". I can probably only...
  17. How do I find this arch!?

    I am working on a sign for a building that was just renovated. They built this arch area for the sign into the front, and I'm just wanting to make sure that I'm thinking right so I don't have to redo this and be out lots of time and money. I took the length of the two sides to the bottom of...
  18. What's this part called? Off of a JV3 Damper.

    Can someone tell me what this is? I was taking a damper out to look at it because it wasn't getting ink, and this attachment piece of ink line came out, and the seal that sits in it fell out, so I assume that's all supposed to be one piece, and why I had trouble. I'm not sure what it's...
  19. I must officially be an apple nut...

    The FedEx guy just dropped off my new 27" iMac and my iPad. I bought a MacBook Pro about 5 years ago that's still as fast as the day I took it out of the box, and I love my iPhone. My accountant said I needed to "spend some money" and I figured I might as well update some computer equipment...
  20. How do I clean the back side of the heads?

    I have this thing...for lack of a better term "dingleberry" of inking hanging on the back of one of my print heads. I've soaked it for 10 minutes, tried cleaning w/ swabs like 6 times, and I just can not get it off of there. I've ruined a banner four times printing it because it'll start...
