Center of the "O" and "P" are all wrong Isn't this for a back window? Lay it out wider Lime green or florescent green on black reminds me of my older brothers room in the 80's I'd start with just text and add "what you think needs to be added" later

Summa obviously felt the same way haha didn't need to "check them out" they contacted me.

what Circleville said I just did a box truck with these last week. They weren't as bad as I originally thought they would be. It was a partial wrap which we also used cast for text. I waited until the wrap was down and did my best to avoid the rivets with the cut cast. They will distort small...

I think he should pm everyone in the "scrap vinyl" thread for any reflective remnences and buy a lb of shrimp. I mean could the original post be more vague? Now the price includes removal, that's not the actual car?

I obviously can't speek for the Graphtec but my Mutoh does read through the registration with glare. I have a lot of natural light so if I am contour cutting I usually leave my overheads off and it works perfect.

I had a Mutoh plotter in the 90's that was great, it had a carasel that would hold 6 different blades and worked perfectly. The new Mutoh plotters do not seem the same quality. I watched the video for the Graphtec registration system. It did seem like there is more user setup then my current...

CTS, one more thing your 4 I have had a lot of issue with curling. It is strangely usually with red or black Arlon calendared. I seem to have more problems now at my new shop then I did at my last 2 shops. Poor placement of the pinch rollers I could see would be frustrating.

Wow great info guys, what more could I expect from s101 members. The duel eye was appealing but I can't say I cut much printed reflective. I can't stand how software blames hardware and vice versa but it's the norm. Luckily being in St. Louis I have at least 3 different techs so far that...

I'm guessing its the Q Series? Thanks I just went to check it out. If so its the same price I was quoted from a local supplier for the Graphtec and it would include a extra 3rd year warranty. They also have a 54" in stock ready to bring over.

A majority of my business is decals. And my current plotter is about to get thrown out. I have been looking at plotters and I always come back to Graphtec. I owned a Graphtec 24" CE series from 2002 til I unfortunately sold it a couple of years ago. Never had one problem with it. I really like...

I use snap off blades for everything but weeding. I get the 100 pack exacto blades so they aren't a huge expense. I have had employees purposely bend the tip for easy picking. I honestly have a little bit of a snap off blade obsession. If I see one that I don't have I have to buy it. Most of...

It's kind of a shame it was a phone ringer in it's day. It generated 20+ calls a day in the 90's

Middle or close to it if there is a wiper and never wet. Never had a issue with window perf.

So you are saying you could get $500 a hour labor? Dude if I were you I would be looking for this kind of job exclusively. This kind of work is why I love this market. Shops completely price thereself out of it and there is a lot of meat left on the bone. It can be tricky because sometimes...

If cut correctly brush script is piece-o-cake Much better than a serif or something with pointy tips The price was obviously low and without seeing the copy and this being a open forum I will pass on my pricing. I will say this is the kind of job I love. Material costs is extremely low and it...

Wow stunning My biggest problem is fear of spending to much time in a direction that I'm not sure the customer will like. Granted your staff is far more talented and faster than I but is this the version you proposed to the client? Or was it a rough sketch of this? Side note: if it wasn't...

I thought Craigslist was for used fridges and $80 pillow top matresses Don't most legit businesses have knock offs? Or is this just some form of new radical tactics that I just thought always existed? If for some freak chance this destroys our industry I feel confident enough in my...

+1 document it, these things help out come tax time.

Referrals are the best cheapest way to expand your business. Use your brain, just make him think he is getting a better deal. Be a little more personal with him. Use words like "since it's you" You don't have to lie to make a customer feel "preferred" It's hard for me to understand wanting to...

They haven't answered because they have all died of unknown causes. Sources say horrible music taste has not been ruled out as a cause.
