ladders and the scaffolding kill my back and legs. this business is becoming a young person's game. i am constantly climbing around like a monkey doing installations. i enjoy doing it and fortunately i am healthy enough to keep doing it but the past few months i have been climbing around on boom...

we always try to wait 24 hours if we can but on many occasions we have gone a couple hours to right off the printer to the laminator. can't say we ever had an issue. i will say the new roland printers are slow so if you find speed of the printer to be a requirement you might want to look else...

we have always used both fed ex and ups. don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. also we have some customers give us their accounts to ship under so they can pay their negotiated rates. we do that as well with some of our venders. the other thing is each company has their strengths and...

uv ink doesn't bite in to the plastic like solvent inks do. we silk screen a lot of coro and we have to use a catalyst in the ink so it sticks good. we have a roland LEJ, EFI and fugi acuity, the roland uv ink sticks the best of the 3 and the fugi is the worst but if you are aggressive with the...

the removal would be like double (if not more) than the install so as long as the customer has the time and will pay then have at it. i use the vinyl zapper for removals with vinyl that bad but never did one that large. i would definitely make the investment in the steamer, everyone that has one...

a few things but #1 if you take a blade to any sign or print it's going to scratch it. noting is impervious to blades other than metal photo process. the true test is the tape test. print a sample and put a piece of tape on it rub it down real good and pull the tape see if any ink comes off. we...

agreed with the recommendations for high tack vinyl, should be cast and air agress (avery 1106HT EZ would be a good choice) but i would be concerned with the sharp edges of the stucco ripping through the vinyl. not sure how much coverage you have to do but i would definitely be concerned with...

when you transport it definitely lock the head in place but if you are not traveling far and it won't be off for long, meaning once you get it where it's going you can plug it back in then it should be fine but if you have to put it in storage or won't be using it for a long period of time then...

depending on when you are planning on using it i would keep it plugged in till you move it and then plug it in once you get where you're going. also run test prints and perhaps run the attached file once in a while to keep the ink flowing. if you won't be using it for a long period of time i...

probably want to look in to a smaller uv printer but speed could be an issue. i have heard good things on the new roland uv printers. we have an LEJ-640 and it's been a work horse but no speed demon. quality is good and would be fine for what you want to do. it can print roll and rigid media...

with all the parts and labor you need might just look in to a new printer, maybe see if they will give you anything on a trade in

we use Tyrrell Tech and Nazdar for our roland supplies

we had our gerber edge and plotter for like 15 yrs and it was a work horse. we cleaned and lubricated what we could but other than that only service we had done was on the plotter once and that was because it wasn't working (forget what went wrong). the printer never had service. we did blow a...

you may want to change all the cap tops and dampers as well. those are all regular consumables (it's like changing the oil and filters in your car) minimal cost and you can do it yourself but can make a ton of difference

you need to use a high tack vinyl with air aggress/ez apply then you should have no issues other than not being able to reposition the vinyl

agree on the cheap lam, that's what is burnt up there. loos like they put cut vinyl on top of the laminate because the graphics are not burnt, just the background, weird combo. agree the frame needs to be cleaned up and painted and if you're going to use the whole existing structure and not...

we have had the LEJ 640 for well over 10years now and it's been a work horse (like all the rolands we have had in the past up until the truvis, that was a piece of crap but it was the first generation) its a great machine as long as speed is not an issue although i have heard that the new...
