substrates from customers

I can think of one circumstance.
We reface double sided 4' x 4' ACM sheets for a local auction company. Good repeat customer though.
I don't even laminate the prints, or peel the old ones, just laminate overtop.
They're dropped into a frame and put up on the highway, typically only up for a month at a time.

Typically they end up damaging the board after 3 or so re-faces, then we sell them new ones.
Not worth damaging your laminator saving your customer a few dollars.

They can bring us a substrate but it is not completely flat and clean. I'm not interested.
If we use their substrate, we have a table charge, we used to charge time only but it wasn't worth it.
Now we have a sqft charge that pays for us to setup the files not just print/route them.

Never.
You dont know if it's good or not. if it has any issues etc. if something goes wrong with it, who's fault is it.

Easier to use your own, if something goes wrong, it's on you.
