  1. Powerpoint files... Can we use them?..Is there a way to use them?

    You can literally just save as and open it as a pdf. Lower odds of flattening in that case. You would need powerpoint on your computer to do it.
  2. Banners Across Road

    yikes! Yeah we may just be lucky. in our town he's fast and way too cheap. But our stitching jobs are always small and easy so that helps. Even 30 ft banner is like 10 mins of work for them
  3. Banners Across Road

    we use a local upholstery shop. Try looking that up! Ours is incredibly reasonably priced
  4. FB500 / FB550 Extension Tables - Anyone have any?

    Curious what you need to use yours for. We almost never use ours
  5. Multicam vs ???

    Nice keep us updated on how you like it!
  6. Roland Flatbed Printer

    Thanks for this. Do you guys print onto ACM? I have been looking at the threads for the earlier Roland flatbeds and they sure are scary.
  7. Roland Flatbed Printer

    Does anyone have any experience with the new Roland Flatbed? I am considering upgrading our HP700 to a Roland with white ink and gloss finish. I'm particularly interested in printing directly to ACM without laminating.
  8. How many is too many...emails

    I say design is $45 per half hour at the beginning of the job. If the proofs and back and forths start adding up I note the design time that we're at so far in the job. That usually pushes them to get things a little more organized. I don't really charge it or mention it to larger clients, but...
  9. Custom Printed "Magnetic" Whiteboard Source?

    Steel Composite panel with flatbed printing is how we do it. Simple enough to test if it works with vinyl/lam on the steel. I think it will. The SCM comes with a dry erase side which is why we often flatbed currently.
  10. Unique project - need fabrication advise!

    I'd say either pin mount individual pieces of white acrylic on there, or use a full piece of clear acrylic with vinyl in front cut to shape. I don't think this one is as hard as the lit one
  11. printed carpet

    I've bought them from this guy before: https://queenmats.com/ I haven't heard complaints from the customer but i haven't seen them since we sold them
  12. For everyone thinking of purchasing a Summa, specifically F1612, don't.

    Stay strong out there Hulk. Honestly threads like this are good for the forum. Getting a 50,000-100,000 lemon with nobody to fix it is a big deal. Hope they get back to you.
  13. Rush Fees

    I'm surprised, i feel like I end up doing 1-2 rushes per day. We do lots of $100-$500 coroplast and ACP signs that end up making money, but it is a pain for the staff. What timelines do you guys give for your average non-install project? 3-days?
  14. Rush Fees

    That's a pretty good template Boudica
  15. Rush Fees

    Do you charge them? I just had a problem go away when i said we had a $50 rush fee for someone's 'urgent' 12" x 18" sign. It has me thinking i should do more of them. Do people here charge them? and just to annoying customers or even to your good clients?
  16. Install sign off or approval processes?

    I'd say just try and do your own installs if possible. I don't know many small shops that succeed without installers. I'm sure there are people on this forum that disagree!
  17. Utility body Sign Truck? Share your experience

    Let us know how you like it. I'm curious about those but they seem oddly similarly priced to full sized M43 elliots
  18. Does anyone else hate online reviews?

    Here you go...
  19. Does anyone else hate online reviews?

    Anyone have a bad review that was responded to they can test this with? Maybe it's changed! Would be good to know.
  20. Does anyone else hate online reviews?

    Once you respond, the reviewer can no longer take it down. If you think there's a shot of getting them to take it down you should try that first.
