Does this mean I should stop shrink-wrapping everything?

Hey, I always say it's about what the customer wants, what I want doesn't matter because what I want has nothing to do with printing. Lol!

I have a Versant 180p with external Fiery and run Synapse 10mil as well. In fact, I just printed a job this weekend. All I used was the default Film setting on the machine. I also run a lot of adhesive vinyl and for that I have the Secondary Voltage Transfer set at 115%. On my old C75 I had the...

What was on your mind? Just curious.

No worries here, we're just gonna print everything on plastic! :p

Wonderings, thanks for the reply. The Epson is rated for lamination after four hours, the only solvent machine that can do that. But after a lot of thought, I went with the HP Latex 315 print and cut. I get a lot of orders that have to be done same day and even four hours can be too long. It's...

That's exactly what I do. I have a friend that has a corporate membership so I send him the ID number of the photo I need and I pay him for it.

Feel free to PM me if you need any help as I would be happy to help. I've been a Morning Flight power user since beta testing in 2008. I'm all digital with wide format and MF allows me to easily quote jobs and send estimates. It can invoice too but it can also export the invoices for importing...

Yes it does. I was in the same boat as you back in 2008 and all the MIS systems were more than I can afford. I mean, if I'm gonna spend that much money, might as well hire someone. At least a person can sweep the floor and answer the phone. Attached is a screen shot of some hover text in Morning...

I do! Just like your J75, I couldn't use SIQA on 13 x 19 on my old C75. Got so good at it that I didn't bother to use SIQA on any of the sizes. I always adjusted registration manually. On this machine I have (V180P), SIQA works beautifully on all media. I have not timed myself but I think it...

I understand your pain. Buying a full set of inks for my Canon w8400 costs me nearly $1200! I have tried refill/remanufactured/non-OEM ink in my Canon as well as a Xante Ilumina. In both cases, it was a pain in the ass. The Xante took a lot of fiddling with, uploading charge files and lots of...

I don't know if anyone else on here is running a Canon w8400 but I tried to order yellow ink today and three of my suppliers said it has been discontinued. All other colors are still available. I bought this machine in 2006 so I knew this day will come. But maybe this yellow ink shortage is...

I use my computer to print a digital black and white book.

I've seen the first one as well (no 3rd party vendors). It was a contract for a mailing job and they wanted to keep who handled the mailing data to a minimum.

I have a Canon imagePROGRAF w8400 44" that I bought in 2006. Still runs great and only broke down three times. But if I were to do it all over again, I would get a solvent printer. Especially now, they are cheap! Back in 2006 they were still very expensive. If you are going to do 4 x 8 banners...

Lol! I made that avatar years ago. Stumbled upon a website that could "...make you look like the Simpsons!" Can't find it now.

I don't know of any toner device that can do 450mm x 450mm. You would have to use a wide-format inkjet and I don't think any of them are fast enough to do 500pcs. Producing it in-house will be a huge distraction from the other far more important things you need to work on, like design and sales...

I have spoke with Dave Hutlin before and have been and currently am a customer of Marketing Ideas for Printers. They are honorable and trust-worthy and I stand by the integrity of their company. So you can trust his post on this forum. Keith Moore Celestial Print & Design

"Yeah, if you give me a good price I'll tell all my friends about you."

According to the National Printing Research Council, payroll costs of 20% is really good. The national average is 28%. (Payroll as a percentage of gross sales). It might sound counter-intuitive but a bump in salary for everyone might be the moral booster that helps propel you to a million in...
