  1. Looking for vinyl supplier near Virginia

    Thanks for the info. We use Harbor and NGlantz and occasionally Grimco. Will check out Walker!
  2. Looking for vinyl supplier near Virginia

    We need a supplier for vinyl supplies besides Feller's. We use mostly Oracal 651 for cut vinyl and recently moved to Arlon DPF 4500GLX from Avery 3165RA for printing. We thought we had a new supplier with great prices until we noticed they were sneaking in large delivery fees. Any...
  3. Scam-Harlan Hales is back

    Here is another scam going around right now. In this one they call first using an app that makes it look like they are the real Ron Silva Realty. I know because I was suspicious that someone in California would place an order in Virginia so I called the realtor. They said this has been...
  4. Profile for Roland VP540i

    We just switched brands of vinyl to Arlon 4500GLX. I am trying to find a good profile to print using Versaworks 5 on our VP540i. I found one that works and looks good without banding but it seems to saturate the vinyl so that if I need a print cut without laminate the edges curl. Also, if I...
  5. Any Suggestions on selling a business

    You may also want to contact sign shops that are in your state to see if they are interested in expanding into your area and be tempted to buy a fully functioning shop and make it a division of their company. I have seen success with this and it eliminates broker fees. There may even be a...
  6. JPEGs turning black

    Having this problem too. It doesn't happen if you save as an RGB instead of CMYK.
  7. LEJ640 Keeps disconnecting

    Update... We ended up putting the printer on its own computer and things have never been better. No more stopping mid print and it seems to be running better in general.
  8. LEJ640 Keeps disconnecting

    Yeah, the boss is not wanting to buy a new router. Some things he will spend a lot of money on and some things he won't . For some reason this is one of them. So, we are trying to run the printer on another computer we have by directly connecting the Ethernet cord to the LAN port. VersaWorks...
  9. Set up direct connect on computer

    Hello, I am trying to set up a direct connect to my computer using a USB to Ethernet adapter. I keep getting errors indicating an incorrect IP address but everything is set to auto and when I try to assign one manually I must be doing something wrong because it won't accept the settings I am...
  10. Etch Glass Effect Vinyl

    I have been doing vinyl since before there was even air egress. There is not much I cant handle.
  11. Etch Glass Effect Vinyl

    Directions didn't call for tape, directions said use a wet mount on front but I thought it sounded silly and learned my lesson. If it is a solid piece I don't use application tape on most etched material. This was brand specific.
  12. Etch Glass Effect Vinyl

    Yes, dry install. We used an Arlon product (Ever Etched) last time that was air egress but you had to wet the outside or the soft side of the squee gee would scratch the surface. Lucky for me the client took a discount instead of making us redo it because we didn't wet the outside. Always...
  13. LEJ640 Keeps disconnecting

    We have a Roland LEJ640 hybrid that is randomly disconnecting mid print. When it first happened we would shut down the printer and computer and restart everything and hope it would come back online. Eventually we replaced the network cable with a higher quality one. This seemed to fix the...
  14. UPS vs. FedEx?

    UPS is now charging extra if you ship something in a tube. My boss was not happy when he found out last week as he includes shipping in his quotes for certain jobs. USPS took three weeks to get my rent check one town over last month and I had paid for expedited shipping... The landlord gave...
  15. What do you do when a customer takes a phone call in the middle of placing an order?

    I was talking about the original thread topic here. About rude customers taking calls
  16. The things I see

    A realtor came in the other day with a rider he wanted changed. It was supposed to say, build to suit but someone made a misspelled suit as suite. So with some not so creative patchwork they fixed the misspelling. Like my old boss used to tell his people when they screwed up, "would you buy...
  17. What do you do when a customer takes a phone call in the middle of placing an order?

    I'm a bit late on this one. I had a customer that had a Bluetooth headset who would take a call in the middle of a sentence and would just start another conversation with whomever was on the other end of the line. I would wait patiently but in the end it was really insulting he didn't even...
  18. Lost a piece of sharkfin hardware

    We were doing a roof wrap on a 2013 Ford Flex and lost the clip that is part of the mounting hardware for the Shark fin. Does anybody know where I can find one. Back in Colorado I would go to the pull and pay salvage yard and snag one. They don't have these out here and the Ford dealer wants...
  19. Opinions about World Wide Sign Systems...

    We sent this back for repair over two weeks ago, so I am assuming we had given enough time for issues to arise and be resolved. About all the information we were given when we discovered the damage (sent them pictures documenting it) was we had to send everything back and it would be fixed. I...
