It's a good idea depending on the reasons why. I didn't see any mention in OP's post about calculating for overhead costs - rent, heat, electricity, building and vehicle maintenance etc etc.... So if doubling material costs covers that then yes. Just as long as it's considered. Shops can lose a...

Thanks! I guess we were writing our last posts at the same time because when I submitted mine I saw your explanation just before it.

Good point! I was picturing that the signs would be height restriction warnings...in which case they may choose to hang them to whatever height is the maximum allowed. More info would help.

Also noticed that you put emphasis on the size of the dealership... I'm assuming a lot here but just want to say.... Don't undercut your usual pricing too much in the hopes of getting more business from them. Quote what you are able to sustain long term because if they are only interested in the...

Seems like a pretty standard job to quote...I mean you must quote jobs all the time and this seems like a pretty common type of job. You must have a per/hour, per/person labor rate. Estimate how much time you need to get to and from the job, setup and do the install. Also, if you have a sq.ft...

Definitely not coroplast. The signs will need a bit of weight to them due to wind. Banners maybe... We would probably use Alupanel (ACP) and drill holes to hook them to a chain so they can be easily removed. I'm wondering why they think anyone would steal the signs? I can't picture what they...

He looks legit! I had to coordinate a Santa when I did marketing at one of our malls here and they always used the same guy. He was really good at his job and great with the kids. He was always in "uniform" for obvious reasons and he would make some very non-santa-like comments...he even...

What programs are you using? Corel, Illustrator, photoshop, versaworks etc...?

Have you used the Frog Juice indoors? Do you know if it's slippery or not?

I looked it up and it says that it's not meant for smooth indoor floors. Only if the floor happens to be concrete, brick or stone. I think I'll get a sample though and try it out. You never know.

Does anyone have tips or recommendations for industrial strength floor graphics? A client came to us and complained about another company that supplied and installed floor decals for them and that they only lasted a couple of days at the mall where they were installed. Roughly 3ft circular...

Yes, I'm aware of the mechanics behind it. Hoping for some kind of reference sheet though just to make life easier....

Right. No gap but no overlap.

Maybe I didn't explain it properly. It's not an error. That's just how the test print works. Have you ever seen the Roland calibration? Here's a pic of the final result and an explanation in case you've never seen it. The printhead shoots left once, printing all of the bottom rectangles in one...

When I'm simply trying to explain about low-res vs high-res artwork I try to keep it simple and not get into too much technical language. I'll usually start with the dots per inch vs how many inches it is and how you can change the size but not the number of dots and so on. Next If the customer...

Good point. It's just that when you do the test print for the feed calibration it prints horizontally and doesn't really feed the material through; just the couple inches of the test print so I thought it must be a thickness thing. Weight must factor in it too though...that would make sense but...

Does anyone know of or have a chart or diagram that shows the media thickness=feed calibration for Versaworks? I have most of our media calibrated and written on my own chart near the printer but if there's a way to bypass the test print and just use the micrometer to check the media thickness...

If you could post his feedback here I'd be interested to know how it held up as well. We do a lot of bus windows and we always laminate the perf just for life/durability sake. Perf is not a very longterm product so we go out of our way to make sure it lasts as long as possible...trim back .5"...

Not sure if that's true because like I said, we have an older version of flexi on a computer running windowsxp and windows shows the .fs previews. So why would the new version lose that feature?\

Sometimes I feel like hating facebook is a "thing" the same way hating Nickelback or Justin Bieber is a "thing". Just something else for people to get on the bandwagon and complain about. Facebook will be whatever you want it to be... If you let yourself waste hours and hours on facebook...
