  1. Looking for Doming Supplier

    I know they have different types. We do not have to mix anything and use about 5-6 5 liter pails a year. Ours cures using their conveyor with a high intensity light so it cures in about 15 seconds.
  2. Looking for Doming Supplier

    We use Dymax for our resin that we use on name badges. How are you curing these?

    It's really not out of the norm though and I am not arguing either. There are different ways to operate, and I can promise that in my area charging that much you would have no work. 34 years of business we must be doing what works with our geographic area. Not everyone charges by the sq ft.

    This whole conversation is about what to charge the customer not company profit. If your company is profiting $1000 + per hour, hats off to you but that is not realistic in all areas of the country.

    the customer doesn't dictate when I am in and out I do. Also look at the replies and not just the one that backs your narrative. AMS replied that his vinyl labor rate for 2 people is $80/hr. solo said his crew can do 3,000sqft wall in 1 day. 10sacer said he charges $400/hr + travel and...

    Depends on what you charge per hour. We charge a higher per hour rate on provided material since we are not making money on the product as well as the difficulty of the install. Depends on what part of the country you are in as well because $9,000 to $22,000 based on your numbers won't work...

    So, if we are not providing any material and only installing provided materials how are we leaving money on the table charging by the hour. What do you charge for outside of labor hours? If we get a job where we print vinyl we charge each separate. I quote the print job and another line item...

    pricing doesn't change for a trade show vs any other type of install. We charge by the hour including travel on all installs.
  9. What to do with Vapor Collector from HP 560 Printer

    That is odd I have been running my 560 for 5+ years and have next to nothing in it.
  10. Need Help Collet open error on Zund.

    Make sure the power switch on the power box below where the router is stored is on. It has happened to me where I bumped it off when installing the router.
  11. Printing onto folded Aluminium panels

    Being a distributor and trash talking other people's equipment isn't very professional. I bet that Vutek cost more than the printers you sell. There is nothing wrong with his printer choice and your comment had nothing to do with his question.
  12. No Hem Banner

    We have been using a banner material that does not require a hem as it does not fray. We use this for quick and easy senior banners. Just found out that the material will no longer be available. Does anyone have any suggestions on a banner material that would not require a hem?
  13. Question Ricoh GEN5

    Not familiar with that printer specifically but I would try and purge the ink it could have an air bubble in it. Does the nozzle check stay the same or do the missing nozzles move around. If they move around it is an air bubble. If they are the same it is clogged. You can flush the heads as...
  14. Are flatbed cutters overkill for 6mil vinyl stickers?

    I would say the Summa being misaligned needs to be fixed as I have cut rolls of contour cut stickers without any issues on our 30". If we had not bought a Zund, I would have gotten a larger Summa. I will say though I much rather cut on our Zund as is it crazy fast but they are not cheap.
  15. Need info on Summa S1 D60 24 inch cutter

    a simple google search shows that is a 30"
  16. Question Day Night Options

    you would see them during the day but not at night. window perf is not translucent.
  17. Search for the best Acrylic Edge Polishing Machine

    we used a regular polishing wheel for pieces larger than out laser but sanding all the edges was not fun. Once we got a router it leaves a good edge and hit it quick with a flame. To get a good clean flame you really need hydrogen and oxygen mix as it burns clean. other gasses will do it but...
  18. 3' x 5' Flag Printing with wholesale trade pricing?

    I use showdown displays for flags all the time
  19. Need Help Installing Vista Systems on Glass

    We typically back them with etched vinyl on the back side of the glass. Tends to look better than white vinyl and so far where we have done it they have liked it.
  20. Painting routed acrylic letters

    add a humidifier that will cut down on a lot of static. We have one hooked through the HVAC and works great for our print room.
