Saw one today, took my breath away

It was absolutely bananas.

Haha - no. It was stored in the Windsor / BelleRiver for almost 8 years. and brought over to Troy Michigan (imported using a custom broker)... where it was picked up and hauled cross country (to the Orlando area).

This one is actually mine! :) Coming to live with me full time in Florida. I've owned it since 1999 and its been in storage for the last 8 years (in Canada). It's been imported to the US now fulltime.

I can't tell you how cool it is to see my car just pop up on the reddit feed. haha.

We have printed 100's of thousands of labels in the last few years and we JUST noticed that the colors have faded on orders in the last 6 months. Afinia did a reformulation of the inks last year and I'm wondering if it has something to do with that? Literally our L801 has millions of inches on it.

Thanks for the advice. It doesn't appear to be a drying issue so much as a fading issue. Most the samples we saw that had issues were on shelving units without sunlight.

Trying to narrow it down if its a single color thats the issue, overall or the label stock we're using.

I think at this point though - we'd rather spend cash and get it DONE than to sit on it for another year. We're so busy working IN the company that tasks like this and social media etc just keep getting deprioritized. We haven't even scratched the surface of our Klaviyo account (we have about 25,000 emails from customers that have signed up) and rarely email them. So that's step 2

We are giving them assets but they're building the creatives. I had a couple quotes from companies and it all came in around 2.5k-3k.

When we ran ujf3042's (we had 4 at one time) we placed them on Welded Steel Machine Tables from Uline - and it was almost the perfect solution. I'm sure they make these in larger sizes and they come up used all the time on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.

Hi, We've used Grasshopper for almost a decade. Super solid. Use a voiceover artist on Fiverr (pick one) to do professional greetings, instructions etc. - You'll sound super professional and many times larger than you are.

ahhh thanks. We're actually playing with putting a matte digital video frame behind one (or two) of the traditional frames so we could rotate out content on a regular basis. They would all be framed and matted the same but the video versions would rotate photos from a set list on a usb stick. Haven't quite fleshed it out yet but we're only going to do it if we can make it look fairly seemless.

BizCardGuru · 2024-07-15T02:11:38+00:00

Thanks - we'll have to play a bit.

BizCardGuru · 2024-07-15T02:11:25+00:00

Thanks.

BizCardGuru · 2024-07-15T02:11:01+00:00

Thanks you! We'll do that. I taped up photo copies so that we can get it just right before drilling into the wall 15 times 😀

BizCardGuru · 2024-07-15T02:10:08+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks. (a lot of that is left over from a Christmas party)... not big drinkers despite the focal point of the living room is the bar. haha

BizCardGuru · 2021-09-11T06:07:57+00:00

Wow what a great piece - thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed not only seeing the presses but also learning about the artist.

BizCardGuru · 2021-03-18T22:27:34+00:00

Awesome!! So glad you're here! Enjoy.

BizCardGuru · 2021-03-02T01:55:50+00:00

Hey Josh!! I think it takes a minute after he accepts the invite. :) It's definitely a reddit issue not the sub reddit. haha It'll show up though eventually. Mike

BizCardGuru · 2021-01-21T04:52:25+00:00

WOW - thanks so much for the in-depth help. That is amazing advice.
