  2. Tipping Question

    An installer once told me that customers always tipped him. He doesn‘t work for me anymore but I started to wonder why he was getting tips and I have never heard another installer mention it. Is this common practice and other installers don’t talk about it? The best theory I have is that he was...

    In my opinion, the best politicians in my area buy their signs from me.
  4. Need a printer and torn what to get

    The number one thing I look for in a new printer is an excellent support eco-system. Techs, parts, media and profiles are as important to me as the printer.
  5. Suggestions Recyclable Banner (or similar)

    Ultra flex Eco-vantage might work for you. It’s #1 recyclable, PVC free and prints with latex. https://www.ultraflexx.com/product/ultima-ecovantage/
  6. Roll to Roll UV Printer Purchase

    Do you have white ink and gloss/matte finish on your Colorado? I'm trying to decide if it's worth upgrading my 1650 and really want to know how good the white is and the real cost for white ink. (I've heard they spit a lot.) I also haven't identified a steady market to justify the flex finish.
  7. Discussion those whole Marketing Agencies (for car wrap)

  10. Enfocus Pre-Press Software

    We have several customers that submit large quantities of randomly sized files. For example, we received 100 files on Monday for a job due tomorrow. The files have to be checked, sheeted (some for double sided), nested, and cut lines added before going into print. Does anyone work with Enfocus...

  12. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    Digitech is an excellent company to work with. They build solid, reliable printers with low operating costs. The ink sticks to everything we print. Service and maintenance are excellent. My first Digitech was installed 6 years ago and they keep getting better.

    Dyne test pens are used to determine corona level.
  14. Rant Hiring Installers

  15. HP800 or Roland LG

    Colorado is made for that kind of banner volume.
  16. New flatbed recommendations

    Digitech printers are solid workhorse printers worth considering. We’ve been runnning them for 5 years and recently upgraded our oldest to the XLT. Production runs are up to 80 boards an hour with the auto-unloader. We don’t have the space for the unloader and usually print around 50-60 boards...
  17. Bounced Checks

    What do you charge customers for bounced checks? We are updating our policy and want to make sure it's reasonable and within industry norms. Currently we collect the bank charge, but nothing for our bookkeeping costs and inconvenience costs. Is it reasonable to charge more than the bank fee...
