  1. Wider retractable banner stand hardware - 6ft-7ft ish

    So we stock the 45" and 57" wide banner stands from signworldamerica.com but we have a client looking for a 6-7ft wide retractable banner stand. Obviously I found a few through google, but does anyone have a wholesale-ish source for a 6-7ft retractable banner stand?
  2. Dry Erase Wall Graphics - Ideas ETC

    One of our sales reps brought this potential job to me today and I figured I'd ask for some expert advice before I do what I do. We have an ad agency that has a bunch of walls that are painted with dry erase paint, but they don't like it for various reasons etc. So they are wanting us to wrap...
  3. Plastic substrate for SMALL format digital printing

    We have both small and large format digital printing. On the small format side we have a xerox versant 80 and a xerox color 1000i. We currently have a couple clients who regularly order 8.5x11 4/4 styrene "flyers" or "sell sheets". And without a router it's becoming insanely time consuming to...
  4. Client Gets What They Pay For

    Just wanted to share a quick story. My kids go to a small private school. We do some work for the school every now and then, but it's a small school. (I also donate scrap vinyls, board drop-offs and every now and then a teacher will want a banner for something personal like a kids party or...
  5. Cyan Overspray on Blue Prints (CET UV Hybrid)

    We have a CET hybrid uv printer, with ricoh gen5 heads, 2 print heads (Black/Cyan and Magenta/Yellow). We recently had a new head installed for black/cyan and we are having a problem with the cyan. I'm attaching a picture. We have the "static bar" setup installed, we clean the materials with an...
  6. Gen5 Printhead Preservation

    Have a ricoh gen5 head that has been used, so it has uv ink in it. I'm wanting to flush it and then save it as a backup, emergency printhead. My question is, should I flush it and then leave the flush in the head, or should I flush it and then clear the flush out before I wrap the head up for...
  7. oversized (grand format) roll media storage?

    We have been doing enough larger prints lately (70"-126" wide) so we now have a few wide rolls of different media around the shop and no adequate way of storing them. Wall space is a bit of an issue, but we could make room on the wall if that's the best option. I've seen the BullRack XXL, but...
  8. 65"+ wide Poster Paper

    I have a client asking for some fairly large posters (64"x80" etc) and I'm coming up blank on wider poster paper. I know Sihl has a couple that are 63" and one that is 64" but it's glossy and I need it to be an uncoated paper stock. Anyone know where I might look for wider poster paper?
  9. Paint for wood substrates

    We have a CET hybrid printer. We went with straight cmyk, no white. No regrets there 'cause we would never use it. (And if that changes we can always add the white ink later since it's field upgradeable). But, having said that, I'm wanting to produce a sign using some old wood. It's for us...
  10. Humidifier?

    Hope I'm putting this in the right area. We need to better control the humidity levels in our shop for our uv printer (which is why I chose the 'flatbed printer' area for this post). We have a dehumidifier for when the humidity gets too high but then we have days like today where it's dipping...
  11. Pull Behind Airplane Banner Materials?

    I did a search but couldn't come up with anything. Does anyone know what type of material is being used for pull behind airplane banners?
  12. Coro sign pricing

    I'm having a bit of a struggle with some folks here about pricing on coro signs. Just 24"x18" with an h-stake. Small quanitites, 10, 20, 30. double-sided. I'm curious what other folks are charging for them. I don't think we're charging anywhere near enough, because we're not pricing them...
  13. Sun Data Supply Inks - L25500

    Been running an L25500 for 4.5 years or so and I've never run anything except brand new hp inks. Sun Data Supply has re-manufactured ink cartridges and I'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried them? Here's a link...
  14. Classic Car Templates - 69 Nova

    Does anyone know where I can get a template for a 69 nova? (not looking for a freebie, handout or anything under the table) just looking for a legit template for a 69 nova. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!
  15. Multiple Installer setup?

    I apologize if I'm putting this in the wrong spot. I wasn't sure if it should go in the business area or in vehicle wraps. My question is for those of you who have multiple vehicle wrap installers. I'm curious how you have the job delegation setup with multiple "installers"? For example, if you...
  16. Colors dropping out - L25500

    I'm having a problem with ink dropping out completely. The printer sat overnight without printing and when I came in this morning, almost all the color was gone when I printed the printhead test plot. Did a cleaning and they all came back. The black is the worst, it will drop out completely...
  17. need part for my L25500, please help!

    I am in need of a media jam sensor for my L25500. CH955-67096 HP is backordered until NOVEMBER 19th and I have already been down for a whole month! I have called every place on the first 25 pages of a google search and nobody has one in stock! If anybody out there knows where to get one, or is...
  18. HP L25500 Service??

    I'm curious what other L25500 owners are doing for service after your 1 year warranty is expired? I've had mine for 2 1/2 years (or so) now and it's been out of warranty obviously for close to a year and half. Haven't really had any major issues that I couldn't fix. About a year ago the tip on...
  19. same job, different brokers

    I have a couple "brokers" I deal with. One actually outsources the entire job to me, the other just uses us for installs. Both of them have contacted me to quote on the same job. I'm not really having a moral issue with it or anything, just curious what everyone else would do. Do you quote both...
