We talk about the whole process on and off on our FireSprint YouTube Channel.
We shrink wrap then put in packs or boxes.

I can tell you, with a lifetime paid membership, the ads are still there. Lots of them. We used to pay for ad space, but it’s just clutter now so we stopped a few years ago.
Gtrace, you should record some demos and post the videos here. Show the product saving time. Before and after photos...
The best thing you can do is list in multiple places. Put an ebay ad up for a national audience, then list locally on OfferUp, FB Marketplace & Craigslist.
Even industry guys search these places for equipment like that. A good listing with photos, a video, and plenty of keywords will get you far.
I wish I had more information for you on this but we just play around with them until they seem to help. Since we're running different substrates, with a variance in humidity, it's hard to get a good read on the exact process.
The only thing that just stops static problems cold is raising the...
We use a fair amount of Keyence stuff here at FireSprint. It's not cheap, but they are pretty eager to send a technical sales rep out with a bag full of tricks and prove it works (in person) before they send you a quote. Their 800# support is also amazing. If you can afford working with them...
I can tell you that we run all the floor graphic on one of three tightly calibrated colorados. While we don’t color match, you could send in a set of swatches, choose one, and then send in that exact same digital color again. Not a color match, but it works well most of the time.
Otherwise...
I would not suggest a custom solution, that said, I made this a few years ago in case anyone wanted a jumping off point in FileMaker for job tracking:

For us, many years ago, our techs were able to work the FC9000's into our workflow. We had a much harder time with the Summa software. The graphtecs work well, so we have not revisited in many years. From everything I read, I think you can't go wrong with either in terms of the quality of the...
We use the graphtecs for smaller stickers and kiss cutting. They do a great job, take up less space, and considerably cheaper than our zunds. The zunds are used for larger graphics, especially large thru cuts. For us it’s more about floor space than anything else.
I’m sure summas are...
If you are set up to provide print ready artwork and, have a state resale certificate, and can prove your affiliation with the industry we’ll likely approve your account. If your a “Gift Shop”. I would say no, but if you’re a sticker and decal shop, we’d likely work with you.
I think sei makes a flatbed laser cutter, but I think for high volume die cut stickers you probably want to go to a roll device. Some kind of narrow format laser cutter.
This is out of my current wheelhouse though. There are others that know a lot more I am sure. Check out our FireSprint...
I think the idea is that it takes alot of finishing equipment for single piece die cut stickers - and/or - alot of labor. The printing isn't that hard. Buy the appropriate printer.
This was a few years ago, but I was probably thinking of a couple of zunds, which would creep up on half a million...
The problem with using a caliper measurement like the way we present in our calculator, is that all the inputs need to be very accurate.
The math checks out, but if you get off by a few mils, then it can throw a roll length way off.
First, let me say that we’re just barely figuring it all out. It’s a constant effort to get just a little better each day. In no way is this the “Right way”. Just the way we’re experimenting with today.
You make very valid points, and for over 15 years, we loaded jobs onto carts, and wheel...
