  1. How do you protect your money?

    I'm always perplexed by people who "collect change" in the digital age. It seems so strange to me to carry cash. Do you really spend so much "cash" in a year that you can take a family vacation to Disney? I hardly ever spend cash. Not with vendors, restaurants, gas, food, tolls, etc. Where do...
  2. Discussion Any money in feather flags???

    And let's not forget... There is value in ease of use and expertise. Showdown provides catalogs, design help, and vast educational resources combind with a deep distributor network acquired via ASI/SAGE, tradeshows, direct mail and cold calls.
  3. Discussion Any money in feather flags???

    My same exact reaction. B2Sign sells a double sided with stake and case for $99 and $10 shipping. Lol that guy is getting ripped off. I've always said it and will continue to do so... Hayek's information problem as a factor in market economics is what allows companies to sell otherwise cheap...
  4. Overseas Vendors for Fabricated Backlit Letters

    One suggestion: Always pay via an American Express if doing small orders in China. It's my absolute go to rule. If they won't take Paypal (via my American Express) then I won't even consider them. You need to have recourse should they decide to give you bad product.
  5. Converting Flexi Cut Settings to Onyx

    Hello, I'd like to kindly request some assistance from my fellow sign people: I need to convert the "Flex Cut" settings in my Flexi over to my Onyx Thrive (Summa's term for "Through Cut") May you please take a look below at the image denoting the settings in each and assisting me with the...

  7. Flexi or Flexi Design????

    No, you can't. Production Manager is the RIP and CUT engine. It's only like $10 or $20 extra, though.
  8. New HP Printer is coming!

    It's white and orange and prints with recycled milk. Ha! No idea, I just found the image online. I'm hoping I can now purchase instead of an epson or mimaki... Even though I am VERY RELUCTANT to purchase the 1st model of ANYTHING (cars, phones, printers, etc)
  9. Flexi or Flexi Design????

    Flexi Design is a full "FLEXI" except it does not include PRODUCTION MANAGER. You can in fact lay out contour lines, etc.
  10. New HP Printer is coming!

    Here is an image of one of the printers. There will also be 2 more from what it seems, one of them being a grand format a-la-r2000 series...
  11. Need Help Is coro-platics sign profitable?

    Forgive me for asking... When you say "How do they do it?" what do you mean? I mean't to say that I believe they built their business mainly on the back of magazine advertisements coupled with clear, upfront rock bottom pricing and cheap shipping. "Overnight Anywhere" is a pretty good marketing...
  12. Need Help Is coro-platics sign profitable?

    I should of been clearer: I meant to say full color. I know 1 color and screen printed signs are still hugely popular due to the affordability. However, full color is equally if not more popular, especially come political season every 2 years. When it comes to color, none of the other trade...
  13. Need Help Is coro-platics sign profitable?

    Signs 365 is like $10 a sheet or something, insanely cheap with free $10 next day production/ship - no one on this forum or any other trade printer, INCLUDING 4over (the king of trade print) can compete. I dare anyone to prove me wrong. :)
  14. Any ideas for a "job" progression reader board

    Without a shadow of a doubt, ShopVOX is your best option. It's like $19 or something per month for their electronic job board.
