    Need some advice on this install

    Very sweet Skarekrow, i feel much better knowing where the hinge would be best, I use the hinge method alot on other installs but this one had me stumped due to the valley and if the vinyl would crease or shift on me etc. i was worried i would have to cut it which i didnt want to do..Thanks guys

  6. Hope you can help or have ideas on this.Im trying to make sure in in the right ballpark with what im charging .I know that i could be charging certain amounts for design time etc,but im more concerned on just material markup. I was curious if there is a markup everyone is doing for example material like oracal 651 and 751.If you know your cost of what the material cost you per foot or square inch etc, is there a percentage you add to the cost to make sure you are making or charging enough. For example my buddy that owns a Photography printing shop charges like 2.75% to his cost of material and ink etc to get his profit cost. Also If i understand it correctly,i got a vinyl calculator spread sheet off here once and changed the figures as needed to show what my cost of roll of material would be etc per sq ft and sq inch etc,and the numbers are showing me for example a roll of oracal 751 matte black($59.00)24"x10yds is like a .98 per square foot my cost and a 6"x50" window decal 1 color ends up being $2.05 my cost? Am i doing this right or missing something...These numbers are what the spread sheet tells me .. Thank you everyone in advance.

    What printer is needed ?

    im wanting to get into printing on vinyl.Im not looking into doing large work something under 24" at the most. What do they start out at for prices and whats a good brand to go with that will do me good and not worry about major issues some cheap ones may have. Thank you.

    What printer is needed ?

    whats funny is , i did a test print on my awesome printer but i cant do larger than 8x11 that i use for my photo work, and i also took it to a friends lab that does high high end prints and huge prints and his and mine both look identical to each other and what i exactly needed, so im not sure why signorama couldn't produce for me what we did for tests..
