  1. Artwork Release fee

    BOO!! The art belongs to the original designer. Period. (Actually, the company that pays the designer in this case, your boss) They get usage rights, and you can dole them out accordingly. Unless expressly outlined at the beginning of the contract. Did they outright buy their logo? Because...
  2. File set up instructions

    HAHA! First you have to explain what the difference between a vector and a raster image. It's not the customer's responsibility to know this stuff, that's why they hire a professional company to produce what they want. They pay for that service, you make money. Your owners by chance aren't Vista...
  3. ISO Recommendations for "Short Format" digital printers (44" or so max) - All in 1

    Yeah, there are tons of refill ink options now. When I first got a WF8400, there was nothing. Now, you can get it by the gallon! http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Gallon-pigment-refill-ink-for-Canon-iPF8300-6350-6300-5000-Printer-12X4000ML-/200782943996
  4. Banner Jet Walk-Thru + UV Ink Conversion!

    I haven't looked, but somehow I'm guessing that the replacement LED lamp is far more than $114 :ROFLMAO: Actually sourcing those all in one units was on my first choice list. But they were really high (stateside) and I found a couple that looked real promising, but they never got back to me for...
  5. Banner Jet Walk-Thru + UV Ink Conversion!

    They seem to move at an adequate speed. Nothing too blazing. My Banner Jet seems fairly slow tracking back and forth at a decent resolution, plus I only have the one printhead. Which is fine. Since I don't know the specifics on dwell time and all that with my light. I'd rather the head move too...
  6. Banner Jet Walk-Thru + UV Ink Conversion!

    No, the HiWin rails are dead on accurate. No runout or play in the carriage whatsoever. It's really all not that heavy anyway. One of the reasons I trimmed down the bracket was for a "just in case" it's too heavy. You should see some of the huge fan/light contraptions some of the other UV...
  7. Banner Jet Walk-Thru + UV Ink Conversion!

    Annnndddd.... We're back! UV Ink Came today... damaged. My hands are stained beyond recognition. Anyway, a non-issue really. I had ordered extras of each color, and they will replace that one. And possibly revise their packing methods. Messing around with the bulk ink tanks, of course I...
  8. ISO Recommendations for "Short Format" digital printers (44" or so max) - All in 1

    Aftermarket inks for the Canon are awesome. Way cheaper, and easier to replace. Epson, not so much. HP still uses those over priced foam filled cartridges?
  9. Vinyl Cutter Purchase

    Here's the reason why a 30" over 24"... even if you never buy 30" material. It's about maximizing the roll. Most 24" plotters can only cut to 22" some 22.5". With a 30" you can go all the way out to 23.5" and sometimes more, depending on how well your tracks. I have an old 54" Graphtech that I...
  10. RECOMMENDATION for Laminators

    I should be working instead of hanging out on here. But the place is like crack, especially when Gino and Bob get involved! HAHA! Anyway, I'd suggest looking into the AGL brand of laminators. Really well built and neat thought out capabilities. http://aglinc.com/agl_compadre.htm
  11. Vinyl Cutter Purchase

    I've had tons of 24" plotters. Some import, some name brand. Just do yourself a favor and get at least a 30" plotter. Trust me on this. That should be your bare minimum width. You'll thank me later, when you realize most windows and truck recesses end up being 26" - 27"
  12. Would you please express your opinion for pricing?

    So anyway... welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your stay :Big Laugh Price your stuff based on quantity orders of materials, divide by the number of "blanks" you can get out. Then add in your time. That's how to properly price, without going into too much detail. Every shop is different...
  13. ISO Recommendations for "Short Format" digital printers (44" or so max) - All in 1

    I've had a couple of Canons and I love them. I started with the WF8400 (44"), which later turned into the ProGraf IPF series. Went with the 60" because, well, we didn't know any better. Turned out, we could have gotten the IPF6450 (12 color one) 24"... nearly all of our aqueous work was 24" or...
  14. Yay! Finally got a fun one!

    Maybe used the font Gunplay or some other stencily looking font.
  15. Recommended all in one machine for stickers

    Here ya go... the smallest inkjet sticker printer: Roland BN-20 http://www.rolanddga.com/products/printcut/bn/ There are plenty of reasons to go bigger, but hey... sometimes small is all you need.
  16. Recommended all in one machine for stickers

    Don't you mean, "ADHESIVE SIDE DOWN?" :noway:
  17. Cleaned my encoder strip

    No, there are definitely a number of points on the strip. If you can shine a light through the backside of an encoder strip, you can see they are like thin bar codes. The more lines, the more resolution you can conceivably place into a space. There is a relation to picoliters vs dots per inch...
  18. Recommended all in one machine for stickers

    Fred, I got a great idea! Use the forum's built in word censor function. Anytime anyone types in sticker or stickers, it automatically replaces it with decal or decals! :thumb:
  19. Recommended all in one machine for stickers

    The word "Decal" is derived from the French word "Decalcomania" or "Décalcomanie" which basically means to transfer via a carrier of engravings or images to another object's surface, instead of painting/engraving directly on the surface. "Stickers" is akin to saying "Sneakers" for Athletic or...
