  1. Need Help Looking for Print Job software

    Greetings all! It's been a while! I have recently been asked to help set up a print shop. Ricoh printers will be the primary printers used. What I am specifically tasked to do is find the proper kind of software to "run" the retail element. Software that can calculate costs, provide...
  2. does any one know ware can i get the sevice manual for SP 540V

    you can always call Roland DGA direct... Just gotta have proof that you own one of their machines. I've had a couple of manuals replaced in the past by them.
  3. Ethics 101 Maybe

    My question is... Why go after a sign business? I mean seriously, if you have enough money to operate at a 20K loss for 5 years, that's 100k alone right there that you already have in your pocket. If you have the means to flat out purchase a 3 store shopping strip, that's gotta be at...
  4. Distributor Central vs. ASI, Sage, or PPAI

    ASI CAN be a good source, if you know your promotional products. I worked at a company down in Florida that did over 1 million in sales just on promo products each year. But of that the owner probably spent close to 5 grand a month in advertising.
  5. Signs 101 Business Model

    I'm sorry you feel that way about the info I gave. I tried to give it in specifics to cut back on any confusion, what I gave was never meant to confuse anyone. As for being an "armchair quarterback".. that's what forums make everyone out to be, especially in the realm of posing a question...
  6. Signs 101 Business Model

    Fred, shop around, seriously. You can get a much better deal than what you are currently paying, and yes, in the $15.00 a month price range. Hell, you could even have a dedicated server for less than that a year, and have a data-center host it (which is usually about $174.00 a month)...
  7. Signs 101 Business Model

    Personally I think the site's business model is fine as is. But since I'm not a "paying member" nor am I the one paying the bills (which by the way cannot entail a massive amount becuase it only takes at most, what, $15.00 a month to have it hosted? Now you choosing to pay yourself for your...
  8. Signs 101 Business Model

    I've chosen not to vote. I'm on the fence about it. Here is why: Personally I could care less about the content. If there is some boob causing an uproar, simply excersize your ability to ignore the post and don't post a reply for perpetuating it, then don't go back and keep reading it if...
  9. Gerber Illuminated from ZeroNine?

    I'd love to see a sample of this, or even some good decent hig-res pics of it.
  10. Gerber Illuminated from ZeroNine?

    it's all over their website on www.zeronine.com http://www.zeronine.com/digitel.html And with it being advertised in SignCraft Magazine, I'd say it's avaliable to anyone who wants to drops the cash for it.
  11. Gerber Illuminated from ZeroNine?

    I don't have a Gerber, but after seeing this illuminated material by zeronine in the newest edition of SignCraft Magazine (page 15 at the top), I'm looking real hard at trying to get one. My question is, is this really all that? Does anyone have a photo or experience on using this...
  12. you can hate me now....

    I'm happy with the prices. I had a small snag on that first order, but it was something I should have re-confirmed (in regards to the shipping charge). In the end you had everything fixed and I'm definatly a returning customer because of it. I understand that you guys are super-mega-ultra...
  13. Design Off #6

    Noone sent me anything, so I'm going to assume that we are all too much into our busy season to really keep up with this. Maybe next winter season we can all jump back on it.
  14. Design Off #6

    Okay, so this is the setup for Design Off # 6... About a week ago you get a phone call from an overly enthusiastic lady asking about different things you can do. At first it almost seems like someone is shopping around, testing you to see if you know your stuff. Then it starts to sound like...
  15. When's Design Off #6 getting started?

    Sorry, I've got it and will post it within the next 30 minutes. Things have been crazy here the past couple of weeks with these new machines.
