Hey my friend I have been in this business for over 20 years. I have looked at every software there is to fit the large format world and the only one I have found is ShopVox. It will simplfy your whole front end and they have the best service. Once it is set up it is a breeze and you always know...
No matter what, seal the edges along the bottom with clear seal. We have wrapped a ton of boats out here in AZ. Always use a cast material whether it’s color change or printing. If you can, get them to pay you to add ceramic coating. Makes it easier for the owner to clean the boat and go through...
Yes but when you the calibration the colors look great. I just bought a HP Latex 570 from another company. It was very well maintained by HP it's whole life. It came with an extra set of inks. The ink that it is running all say expired but I have been running HP's and Mutoh's for 20 years have...
It’s called College of Hard Knocks! LOL
I have been in the printing industry for over 30 years.
I started out with a small software company to develope and help printers manage their businesses. “PrintSmith”
I then started a large format business in 2000 and have managed my businesses with...
Make sure whoever you hire knows how to finish!! We have been wrapping cars for 15 years and I am finding when looking for help is that no one can finish. My kids are all certified and no how to finish, so we end up trying to teach them and they still want top dollars. Crazy!! Run them through...
I was having head issues with my current 1624 and so I got another Mutoh1624 from a friend who didn;t want his anymore. He thought his head was good but that they broke the lever that holds the head in the capping station a couple of months ago. Anyway I ended up buying a new head. Got it...
Anything old you'll have to search on the net. I do not believe there are templates for those cars. Food trucks we draw out and measure everthing because of the palcements of the windows and extras are always different.
Don't waste you time with any of this. We have doing wraps for 12 years and I hav only used "The Bad Wraps" template and have never had any issues with scaling. All templates are scaled 1/10th the size.You this and you can color the vehicle in any color and lay the graphics to get the proof to them.
You could try 3M Envsion which is made to go on bricks and everything uneven. Would probably look pretty cool over that wood. I have used in many occasions when the surface is very uneven.
We do this all the time and a 60" roll will work and you need 2 yards. You have to charge double the normal cost because the material is higher cost and harder to work with.
Hey, I love this!!! Take me back to the 70's. How much do you charge? I have a number of clients that would love this! or send me an email direct to hook up with you.
I was in the software industry for 12 years developing a Printshop Management Software called PrintSmith from 88' and 2000 until I opened my own sign shop. My software didn't even work as good Signvox. (www.signvox.com) So I've worked with them since the beginning and it is awesome!
I have been reading all of this and hearing all the above. Here is my 20 years experience. I have owned several different machines of the years from the basic little POS to the $200K flatbed printer. Stick with the HP Latex for all around printing. No harmful smells and easy to repair. The...
