  1. Facebook Marketplace anyone?

    i agree reputation and word of mouth will be the most productive and i am not saying you should go nuts or spend days of valuable time and or money to promote on social media but.... again it's free so use what you can with the minimal amount of time and see what happens. if you get one sale you...
  2. Facebook Marketplace anyone?

    i have used FB market place for personal use to buy and sell things but haven't tried it for business purposes. i do post jobs on my social media accounts and have picked up business from friends and family that way. i would say social media and or FB market place are just another outlet you can...

    try some of the different profiles. there used to be a static cling profile but unfortunately static cling as always been an issue on our roland eco-solvent printers. i generally try to run static cling on our UV printers
  7. Cut Decals as Grid

    don't you have to add your cut lines in illustrator regardless? we use versaworks and rasterlink for our solvent printers and we have to add our cut lines in illustrator before bringing them in to the rip so i would just make a grid as you call it
  8. Roland VG-640 magenta issue

    not sure what you can actually do on that machine. we had one of the original truvis VG540 machines and it was a piece of crap. had it for 4 years and it only worked for like 1.5 years ended up trading it in, long story but i really wasn't able to work on that machine. our older machines i could...
  9. Roland VG-640 magenta issue

    what's your test print look like. what inks are you running in that VG, the newer type 2 inks? tough to fix anything in those models because they locked us out so really only a tech can do work on them
  10. New flatbed help

    wow, that's big difference. listen i guess you do what you have to do to survive. we do POS work for a few big companies as well, Revlon, Maybelline and we do stuff for home depot and amazon. the ink cost was never a problem for us. they are really picky on their quality and color matching as...
  11. New flatbed help

    we have used 2nd party inks in our roland printers after our warranty was up but they we from a trusted source who we bought the machine from and they gave us a limited warranty using their inks. my main question when this comes up is why does it matter as long as you are charging the customer...
  12. Need a product suggestion

    well you definitely want to use a cast vinyl and lam combo and i would probably do it in like 4ft sections to make the install easier and not get too much stretch in the material. just be aware this job is going to suck..haha
  13. Wrapping truck utility box

    i haven't priced paint jobs in years but the customer always thinks wrapping is cheaper than painting but is it? you used to be able to go to mako and get a $1000 paint job, not sure what the quality is but definitely cheaper than wrapping

  15. Display stakes/frame for 20x5ft banner?

    lind spring makes frames for banners that are mounted to walls and or box trucks. maybe they have something you could use. based on the size it's probably something you will have to build/construct from scratch. how long are they expecting this to be displayed? you could get 2x4's for posts in...
  16. PERFORATED VINYL TROUBLES

    is the material old? did all the peeling prints come from the same roll? any chance you has some dirt or contamination where it's peeling? did you use cast laminate? installed when temp was low?
  17. Printer/Cutter vs. Stand-alone Cutter

    there is no right or wrong answer for this one. this debate has gone on this site for years. you have to get what will work best for the business you have. i can only give you my experience for 20yrs we have had roland print cut machines and they have worked fine for us. never had a back log in...
  18. UV or Solvent?

    buy the printer that best fits your current business and then build/expand off of that. with that said you would need to supply more info for us to help you. what do you do? how much of it do you do? is print size a factor? how much space do you have available for the printer? what equipment do...
