I actually own an ISP as well and we are a 3CX re-seller. I highly recommend it. Like Bannertime said you can host it on the cloud for cheap or run it in house with a Pi. Both options are pretty solid. Grandstream phones here as well for pretty much everything. We have hot desking as well so...

My local airport has asked us to quote some signage including mounting posts that break away if struck. At the moment none of their signs are like this and Transport Canada has mandated that they be changed. Currently they have 4x4 posts in the ground to support the fairly large signs. Some...

Thanks

Hey guys Any clues??

I have a client that has provided me a 80 page PDF. Each page is a small sign they need printed. I can't seem to figure out how to nest all the pages into a layout, i'm sure there is a way but i'm not familiar enough with this software to do it. My usual employee who works with this is on...

I'm looking to do some Motocross graphics kits and most of the ones I have seen run a 10-12mil overlam, Since the 8600 is new to our shop I was hoping to get some feedback from current owners on how it will do with something that thick. Will it be an issue. Preferably Die-Cutting them...

Any ideas? From the looks of the screenshot it's from the Signarama website online designer but that's about all I can figure out on my own. Nothing on that designer matches this. So wondering if anyone out there has an idea. I want to say that my old Corel Draw had that font or something...

Thanks! Thanks for all the help guys. So apparently the job was incorrectly done on Banner materials and the previous vendor has agreed to redo the signs in backlit. Making my life easier. Thanks to Laird Plastics here in Ottawa I got my sign white acrylic all cut up and ready for pickup...

Here's what they look like To me this is designed for Acrylic or something similar. Of course they tossed out all the screws as well.

Hey everyone. It seems that the more we get into wide-format the more we get jobs thrown at us. We are primarily a digital printing shop but kept turning away wide format work. Now that we have gotten ourselves a few pieces of equipment in wide format we're getting more and more work. Can't...

Hey all. So it's rare that a job comes into our shop unannounced but this one did. A local gas station had hired a reputable firm to do work on their older 6 x 6 signs for their re-branding. Somehow they found out that we were the local company around here and basically yanked the job from...

Sorry Esx-500 I have a 540 and it just spit out its capping station at me and is now printing obscenities at me

I've been offered a 540 at a reasonable price. It has a new capping station and new heads They will give it a 3 month warranty as well. The only issue is ICC profiles. They don't make them for this dinosaur anymore. Does anyone have one of these and what problems have you run into. JD

Hey Richard. I'll stop by and see you. I'm renting a place on 12th and Cypress. What are the office hours?

Hey 101ers. I'm down in Florida for a few weeks on a little vaca from the Canadian cold and need a banner printed for a local club here. Thought I'd ask around here to see if anyone can recommend or actually print a banner for me. I'm the Ft Lauderdale / Pompano area. I'd do it at my shop...
