This week's survey 

(These survey questions are sent in by our readers. Please spend a minute to give your answer to this week's survey as one or possibly more of your industry peers thinks this question is important and wishes to see your point of view as well as others in the industry.)  
 
 
Last week's survey results on the question of......
Do you do your own product durability testing, like sticking vinyl out in the sun for a year to see what happens to it?
 
  • Yes, I have been testing vinyl v paint since 1987, with some very interesting results. I started doing these test due to unsound info from product reps, & for my own satisfaction. A lot of test results we were getting from reps where done way done south, We are up here in Far North Queensland & we experience a lot of varying weather conditions. Warranties given by supply companies don't mean anything (Bernie, Geraldton GraFX).
  • Yes we do it for the digital prints on cor flutes all the time. 
  • All of our own signs have a date of production and material used on the sign, that allows us to keep an i on them. When discussing with a customer durability i can show them on my car with the date showing when it was made.
  • Not really, we did a few years back but not with any real intention of proving anything.
  • Maybe not for a year, but I test wall print products before selling them and making promises. I have found a few that don't live up to their promises too.
  • I used, to, and should start doing it again - but one year is a start, but is hardly enough for Aussie conditions.
    I'm more interested in what's happened after or in 5+ years...
    Because WE have to stand behind OUR products, and some of the new products are miles cheaper than they used to be - but at what real cost to US ?

Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.

 When little Johnny received his plate, he started to eat straight away.
|"Johnny, wait until we've said our prayer," his mother reminded him.
 
I don't have to", - Johnny replied.
 
"Of course you do" his mother insisted. "We say a prayer before eating at our house."
 
"That's at our house", Johnny explained, "but this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook"
