I'm not flying anywhere with Gino

Wrapping is not exactly a common skill set even for many sign shops. I don't know why so many business owners think that there are all of these well experienced people that are able to jump right into a job on day 1 and work as good as the owner. Like there's a pool of them just hanging around...

You can lift up the stomp bar enough to likely get your whole arm in it if you had to. 6MM is no problem

They don't. There are no barriers to entry - at all - to be in the color change wrap business. If you build a business around low labor costs and low prices then you are gonna put yourself in a corner like you are now.

Business is business. The whole idea of a "widget" is exactly that, it doesn't matter what product or service you produce (the widget). The principals of business are the same whether you're running a sign shop or running a strip club. Or both if you're from Arkansas?

Nope and you aren't either. Just sayin

There seems to be a welding shop on every corner, why would you want to freight in something like that? How do you even get into pylon signs if you can't weld?

I don't mind removing the adhesive from an old crappy wrap, that is easy..... What I do hate is getting in a removal and whoever did it originally took everything off so the vinyl is behind door handles, trim, mirrors etc etc. I'd rather have some junk material to remove (within reason of...

If we're talking about going backwards on software, how about that Quickbooks online nonsense? It cost us $800/yr to keep desktop which I am sure will go away in time.

It's good stuff, I keep that for my high tack. I'd feel bad for the poor bastard that had to get that stuff off the wall down the road. We just did a wall wrap with their regular tac vinyl, went great.

Gino ain't giving nothing away for free. Quit being all philosophical.

Are you using their high tack or regular tack vinyl?

It's just the time factor. If I didn't see a bunch of other threads with people having this issue I'd be more inclined to point the finger at whatever I am doing.

I don't think that they offer it.

I think you answered your own question, stratojet or mimaki.

Something high tack but I don't see how you could decently apply vinyl over regular skip trowel stucco.

If you want something to fit in those recesses perfectly then you need to make your own. Either with paper or really good pictures and measurements. Every template that I have seen is not dead on, good enough for a full wrap or some spot graphics but not what you are trying to do. The other...

Run it.

So today we ran the exact same print cut file through the plotter, there were about 15 of them, say 30" long. It scanned the 1st 2 barcodes and no more so we had to manually do each one after. Then it randomly skewed these things, not like the material shifted because 1 would be good and the...

Haha nope, they sell their bad products to all of us with the 3M label on it. Media that prints blotchy, blotchy laminate, 8508 which browns as fast as Oracal 210 but they call it cast.
