  1. Is my pricing too high for printed vinyl?

    I figured out how to make money from the rally races I participate in and not the racers running it. I volunteer and do limited sponsorships of our local Car rallies. I do route books, door stickers, trophies, banners... But I rarely do any car graphics except in emergencies for people I know. I...
  2. Declining jobs based on moral/ethical grounds

    Wow, lots of strong opinions here. I don't judge and have taken many jobs that I despise, but don't regret feeding my family on someone's views. We have the luxury of the first amendment and your view is as valid as mine. I won't get into Schweddy balls...
  3. Need Help FC9000-160 making bad noises from head and won't lower blade

    Okay! I figured out the issue. The electromagnet that operates the cutting heads is only partially working I think you would agree that this is not normal.
  4. Need Help FC9000-160 making bad noises from head and won't lower blade

    As the title says, the machine reads the registration marks correctly, but loud clacking from the blade holder and the blade remains about 4mm above the material. This is on a perf cut, one pass using the groove, not cutting strip. I have a support mail out to Graphtec, but would really like to...
  5. New scam? Most likely!

    He disappeared, as I thought he would. :cool:
  6. New scam? Most likely!

    If he does reply, I will quote him $25000 and 365 days for delivery. :D
  7. New scam? Most likely!

    I'm convinced now it's a scam. Since my post this morning, I replied to his reply asking for physical samples. He sent photographs. My reply: These are not samples, these are photos. If I can't physically see these in person, I am not interested in your project. From the massive grammatical...
  8. New scam? Most likely!

    99.9% sure this is a scam, but I got a text on my business phone at 2am asking if I was still in business and doing laser etching. First thing that caught me after getting up was finding the same wonky formatted text in an email. Hello, How're you doing today? I'm Retired Lieutenant BILL L. &...
  9. Adhesive backed paper

    I had a request to make some die cut paper stickers today. The customer is a dentist who peels off a cheap paper with adhesive backing. He puts the stickers on peoples charts and writes on them. Enough of that, my quest is to find wide format rolls of this material and I can't seem to find it...
  10. Font help please

    That's it! Thanks a ton!
  11. Font help please

    I have a new customer and am trying to identify this font. (not with artsy outlines) and the first X has obviously been worked on by someone. Meantime, I'll keep looking. Thanks for the help in advance.
  12. Spooling to printer before output Flexi HP

    I think I found the culprit, my network storage device. I moved it to the house and hooked it directly to the router. I'll do some testing and see if that takes care of it, if not, static IP is next on the list. Thanks!
  13. Spooling to printer before output Flexi HP

    No, the computer in the shop does not have a static IP. Just the printers, cutters and press.
  14. Spooling to printer before output Flexi HP

    Hmm, maybe this runs deeper. I run in an outbuilding, wirelessly connected to the house, which is then connected to the internet. The printer is wired to my computer via the outbuilding hard wired network on a static IP. This is the only printer, (out of 8) that exhibits this problem. Just...
  15. Spooling to printer before output Flexi HP

    Have been running a Latex 365 for about 6 months. My primary problem is network stability. For the most part, it's ok, but we are way out in the country on an RF based internet service and it drops frequently. I have the production room well isolated and the machine is on a dedicated wired...
