Got my Big Squeegee last night -- first time ever using one -- to mount 4'x8" prints on styrene. Glided those on just like butter. I can truly say it is the best thing I have bought in a long time.
My wife's reaction was priceless. UPS guy brought the box up to the shop and as I was unwrapping...
Decided to take on a church project to print (7) 4' x 8' panels for a Christmas play coming up on Saturday. Printed on vinyl -- going to mount on foam board.

Went online and...
We do cut wall decals with Oracal 631 vinyl. Some of our designs are multi color that we print from different colored rolls and then install in pieces. Wondering if it was possible to print on 631 with our latex and then just contour cut the pieces. Would save a lot of time. Anyone ever try...

Seems like I'm always receiving artwork from customers such as business logos that are low res 2" x 3" jpeg images that they want blown up big on banners. Of course the customer designed the logo themselves in some paint program and doesn't have a vector image or high res version. How do you...
Well, not even have had the printer a month and now we are having our second issue with the printer. The printers Magenta ink cart is showing that its completely empty -- but when I remove the ink cart it feels very full.
When the printer first came we had an ink leak warning that a tech had to...
99% of the work we do is for the home decoration market -- but this weekend a friend of mine asked me to apply some decals to his Ford F250 that wrapped from the front of the truck to the back of the truck. (He had bought the truck and it had a big old pink stripe that he wanted me to cover up...
I've got a customer wanting me to put a border of flames on his truck. Where is a good source to get something already pre made like these...I'm really not in the mood for creating these...
Had our tech onsite yesterday installing our new 310. Powered it up and it printed great for about 10 feet of vinyl and suddenly stopped with a black ink leak error. Now we have an HP service tech having to come on site to replace some parts. Sounds like they are having a bunch of the same...

Have a customer asking for 50 tear drop fabric banners. Haven't ever done these. Would be either doing on our latex printer or outsourcing.
Does anyone have advice on how to do these...Should I just outsource.
If outsource -- who would you suggest?
I have been getting a lot of weird requests lately...
1. Someone wanted a decal for a coffin. Wanted to know how long it would stick... said they didn't want to take any chances of it falling off...(What? Does it really matter?)
2. Got an order from another customer. Wants a banner to put...
Up to this point in our business we have been subbing out our decals that need lamination.
I have decided to purchase a new HP Latex printer and now want a laminator to go with it. I have been skimming through the posts - but not really seeing this question. Should I get a hot or cold...
Just about ready to purchase an HP Latex printer...have a couple of questions for you...
1. How long can the printer sit idle with no printing before it starts to clog up? Are they any better than solvent printers?
2. Roughly what is the square foot price for ink used?
3. Can you print on t...
We have been in the market for a new outdoor printer for awhile now. Looked seriously at the Epson Sure Color and the Mimaki JV33.
Have been talking to my rep about the the HP Latex 310. Seems like a great printer and only $13,000.
Seen another post regarding this printer and it seems like...
