Most medias aren't pure white, but nearly every high quality media I've ever worked with is a LOT whiter than the media we are discussing. Just saying. I've asked for some samples of the cast and polymeric and will see if it measures up to our standards.

If my print job has a intentionally white background in its design, how does my printer overcome the inherently bluish hue of the media?

How is the white point on either the polymeric or the cast? My main complaint about their material has been the purplish hue is so deep that it affects most prints.

There are licensing provisions for printers of all kinds to purchase a short term license and the "permission" to place the union bug on printed materials. At one time, most of the employees in print shops had to belong to a union to print the bug, but with under 7% of the U.S. workforce being...

Absolutely! I suffer from tinnitus from too many concerts and working around loud tools and meditation is really hard for someone whose inner ear is always buzzing. But I find a lot of calming and stress release from tending to my gardens, disc golf, doing art, listening to music at normal...

Naturally, the variables between all of our various business models and types along with our expectations will influence just how much personal development we need to employ in our leadership and role model abilities. Thankfully, resources abound on how to improve our interpersonal skills when...

There are so many variables to any of this, it's impossible to zero in on any one figure or calculation. Shop rate, wages, benefits, type of job duties, flexibility of each employee, work type, etc.. all weigh on just what any particular shop's ratio would be. A shop doing mostly banners and...

They are computer generated and printed on Tyvek so far more accurate and weather proof.

An obvious question is whether the rollers may have moved during reloading of the media after laminating. Depending on the age and model, the distance between your outer rollers has to match when you go back to cut.

An issue with "wood" signs is that they expand and contract quite a bit and whichever paint you choose, it should have good flexibility as well as breathability. For that reason, I've always avoided 1Shot and other harder drying enamels that tend to suffocate the wood by sealing it too well...

Any clues on how fresh the paint is or what type they used?

I wonder if the cabinet they store them in is crooked as well.

FELLERS has a good selection of all wrap related tools.

We have that model and it's worked very well. I've worked in multiple shops that had that model and had very few issues. As with anything, user familiarity, skills and comfort level is key.

Sure sounds like brokering to me as well. National Company A asks Company B to produce signs and install them across the country. Company B hires Companies C, D, E, F, G, H, I, etc. to actually produce the signs, assume liability for the signs, install the signs, etc... Who ultimately is...

I think the bigger issue is whether or not folks exhaust all of their own internal options and efforts BEFORE asking for help here. I appreciate how busy most folks are and don't want to bother anyone unless I have fully exhausted my own options.

Prove it. Show us some of your real work. Just be prepared to see the feathers fly from all the "experts" critiques.

We're not running a Mutoh, but with any large format printer, its critical for longevity and colorfastness to build your black and even other colors from blends of all inks in your system. It's like giving your colors vitamins. We build a "rich" black from C:75 / M: 75 / Y: 75 / K: 90

We just started using Neschen brand with air release and with high tack app tape, it was a breeze to work with. When you first put it on, you see the air release grid if you look really close, but goes away after a day or after getting some sun on it.

The condescension inferred by your wording and mindset is interesting and perplexing. Do you take pride in your work? Do you love what you do? Are you not comfortable in what you do? Those quality of life factors are not mutually exclusive in the severely limited concept of business you seem to...
