How do they do that?

Sometimes when a customer calls for a quote I check other pricing on the internet. I do this to see if I'm in the ballpark or in outer space. I was checking around for color custom banners and was…Continue

I know not many here use Illustrator but I'll ask anyway. I use ILLY to set up almost everything for the 540. I found ILLY has a limit of 227 inches or almost 19 feet. I was wondering if there was…Continue

Anyone know of a supplier Soffe style athletic shirts. They are cotton shirts in at least 10 colors. We need to have youth and adult sizes and colors should match. I have attached a picture of the…Continue

Well folks, I stepped in it this last week. We have the Popeye Picnic here each year the weekend after Labor day. I am on the picnic committee so it can get pretty busy in the weeks leading up to…Continue

Ken Wagner replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Problem With Bright Red On Color Print"Yes I come from a offset printing background and use CMYK for pretty much all my work. Since I don't have one of those fancy new printers with more than CMYK ink I think my methods should work okay. Will CMYK have the wider color…"
Ken Wagner replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Problem With Bright Red On Color Print"Personally, I work mainly in CMYK. If I want a red I know 100% Mag. and 100% Yellow will give me a nice red in most instances and on most materials I use."
Ken Wagner replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Problem With Bright Red On Color Print"You might try another profile or using another color setting like Prepress or Max Impact. "
Ken Wagner replied to Ken Wagner's discussion How do they do that?"Mut most people (our customers) see only the cheap price. They see it as only a click away from their masterpiece banner. Not considering the cost of shipping or tax or extras. I guess I just needed to vent.

Roland R. Irish III replied to Ken Wagner's discussion How do they do that?"I get a ton of promotional emails from suppliers doing that, and usually in the fine print you find '$150 setup fee', or 'minimum 3 banners or 100 sq. feet', etc. I have had customers that called me for a quote on a banner, and…"
Ken Wagner posted a discussionHow do they do that?
Sometimes when a customer calls for a quote I check other pricing on the internet. I do this to see if I'm in the ballpark or in outer space. I was checking around for color custom banners and was appalled. How can people charge $2 or less per square foot for 13oz banner in color with hems and grommets? Oh, did I forget, they promise 24 hour turn around. And some offer further discounts if you "Like" them on Facebook. I may as well just sell my printer and outsource everything. Anyone else…See More
Ken Wagner replied to muda coughlin's discussion decal material"I changed the way I laid out the job I was trying to run by chopping up the words into shorter lengths. This way it only runs out about 12 inches of material at a time. It was a cut only job so to get the job done this worked without…"
Ken Wagner replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Problem With Bright Red On Color Print"Could be the profile you're using. And more information would help to identify the issue. Exactly what type of material are you trying to print to? "
Ken Wagner replied to muda coughlin's discussion decal material"This last week I've had an issue although not related to the new roll (haven't opened it yet). The old roll is almost gone and I was trying to run a long print and cut job. Most of the job was cut only but some color. It printed fine…"
Ken Wagner replied to muda coughlin's discussion decal material"Kathy....you were gone? I've been gone for a while too. Oh great, now the rumors will start. ;-)"
Ken Wagner replied to muda coughlin's discussion decal material"You people must be reading between the lines or the ink fumes have finally taken a toll. At any rate using Seramark almost always assures the job will have a happy ending. ((Steve, you can use this as a selling slogan if you wish)) "
Ken Wagner replied to muda coughlin's discussion decal material"Don't feel bad I had to look at what I use too. Most times I write inside the cardboard tube the media is wrapped on. That way when I order next time I don't have to hunt for the invoice.
Yes, Kathy, it is the weeded…"
Ken Wagner replied to muda coughlin's discussion decal material"Kathy - What kind of paper mask are you using? The kind I'm using adheres to the media but tends to curl all around the masked area."
Ken Wagner replied to muda coughlin's discussion decal material"Now you tell me. I just ordered a new roll of Seramark yesterday. Hopefully this won't be an issue since I don't ship wall graphics yet. I'll be interested to see if I get the lifting and head dragging issue."
Ken Wagner replied to muda coughlin's discussion decal material"As an update to this the ribbon decal I did with Seramark is still on my truck and holding up quite well. No color fade. I also put some decals on the side this summer and they look great too. I have to admit this stuff works in…"
