decal printing Stacey, I would go to IAP, www.penturners.org and ask the question there. I know that several of the members print their own decals and attach them to the custom turned pens that they offer. And you're right, many of these pens are absolutely wonderful. Very creative folks...

Talking with a couple of different board level techs locally that feel they should be able to do the repair. Interesting that the one I talked to on the east coast that does these board repairs does not feel comfortable with replacing the usb port and ic chip... But, as many are saying, if it...

Technician just left and it is confirmed that our SP300V is in need of a transplant. USB went south on motherboard and the only fix is a new motherboard. This is not good news for this very small time printer! Thinking I should just go south!

Fred, this is the most logical and realistic reply I've seen in a long time. Good Job! One never knows what is really available if one does not throw his worm in the water, Could be that pool as big fish in it! We work with the $10 a square foot rule as long as it is a simple job and charge...

Pat, have you heard of a little company called Starbucks. The either are now or soon will be using square for cc processing. We use both square and paypal on a cell phone as we are a mobile service provider and it is convenient and after two years of it, no problems. Why both? Square goes in...

I too have had excellent service from Pacific Coast Sign Supply. They sold me a used SP300 3 years ago that they went through, delivered and setup with full instructions. Such a good job they did that they have not been back except to deliver vinyl. Great service and great people. Good reason...

We use phototex for race cars that need a different number just a few times a year (different club races) and for the rally groups that are driving their street cars and don't want the number on the car for street driving. Works great.

OK, I know, we don't discuss pricing in general, open forum. But, I'm looking for a WAG, estimate within a few $1000 for a potential job. Perhaps those that do the big rigs can share what they charge on average. Customer needs a rough quote to print/wrap a tractor and trailer. The only thing I...

We do club racing car numbers. A number of the racers belong to multiple clubs and have number variations. Example would be that in one club they might run 392, in another 39 and then in another 92. Our thought is we would like to offer a reusable plate that would go over the to be hidden...

thank you for the replies. Certainly some food for thought. Currently the PD does the white vinyl base and then applies the balance in reflective cut vinyl and some elements that we print and laminate on reflective for them. They want to go to a partial printed wrap for some reason, even...

Hi. We have been asked to print up 3 sets of Crown Vic doors to replicate our local city police cars (permission has been given) for a television production. Have never done any wraps or partial wraps and have no real experience in doing a template by hand. I'm wondering if there is anyway to...

Hmmm, maybe it is time to open up a chain of big box stores specializing in sign making supplies and equipment. I could go big for a few years and then close 'em down like the big box computer outlets that put me out of the computer distribution business....Hmmmm

Mike, you got my attention with "mobile sign shop". Are you actually running a SP300 in a vehicle/trailer? I would love to travel to events with mine but have been afraid to do so. Doug

Thank you Fred. I'll give it a try...it is a pretty large file. Doug

Hi all. I have a customer that has provided me with a flexi file that I can't read (don't have flexi). Can it be converted to a .eps or .ai in anyway? I have CD13 and CS2 if that helps. Doug
