Work your ass off, like you were an apprentice, for your customers for 25 or so years and read, study, consume every bit of knowledge you can during that time. Then quit bidding. Take a freaking number, I'm busy. Name your price, learn to say NO and do what you want to do. With a good...

JBurton, tell us about the beast. Seriously!, I'm getting calls from several schools about window perf. I've done a few, non-lam, and a few auto glass with lam. I sense a big difference in install enemies. Please elaborate.

Did you say banner tape? WTF?

It's a muffin and their name. That you get for free.

Why would I recommend them if they didn't? It's not like you can go to Walmart and buy any old version you want. It's lead, call them up and ask. They buy, repair and refurbish old plotters. Sometimes they but whole systems, including software. I just purchased Flexi 12 from them and they were...

You might try the Plotter Doctor in Paramount, CA.

I don't do gold Leaf, or use smalts anymore, but it sure does take me back. Oh, yeah my print head is clogged and I don't know what this font is. Signs101 or Print101?

davedavedave, I feel your pain. And I hope my struggle isn't as great as yours. I'm trying to push a Roland PNC-1050 with FlexiSign 12 running on Win7 Pro (64 bit) and I'm having very similar issues. The Flexi had a driver for the PNC-1050 and the plotter is recognized thru out the system, but...

I get the ATM reference now. It's actually a pharmacy drive thru window and yeah, that's my butt in the air. That's Vern by the window, to catch me if I fall.

I don't know about an ATM, but I seem to be the guy on the end of the stick.

By the way, the double stack tow motor pic has been around since well, at least last century. My favorite is a dude in a swimming pool, on an aluminum ladder, with a 120v drill. Yeah, the water is still in the pool and he's using a corded drill. Redneck Ladder, well that;s me. Really, that's me.

Boudica, these are tall signs. 9 hours in the sky is where I learned to take a pee bottle. Sorry it's the best pic I have. We spent 7.5 hours replacing and rewiring LED's and we were in the basket, "Coming Home James" when electricity does what it does and both batteries on the crane went bad...

I wouldn't do this one again. Hauled this 32' steel structure on a 16' trailer beind that little 93 Toyota behind the sign. It was only about 2 miles, no red lights. The funny thing was the owner wanted to dig his own hole and buy his own concrete. I just brought the sign and the crane to set...

Somebody's gotta change the light bulbs. Relax the Tractor driver is also a helicopter pilot, at least he was until he got filmed picking swimmers up with a rope at the lake.

If I can make it work, my best plan so far is to buy a new Win10 - 64bit machine and run a VM as XP, with FlexiStarter 12 (about $400). If FlexiStarter 12 will run on XP, I might be in luck as the plotter should be good. Had a family funeral today, will see my local service tech tomorrow to...

Roland says they don't make a driver past XP for PNC-1050, so that is part of my headache. I know I need Flexi so it will open my old files, but if I get to new my plotter may not work. Yeah and the port cabling might also be an issue. Everything now is USB.

My old plotter machine running really old CasMate on Windows ME just bit the dust. I have a Roland PNC 1050 -15" Plotter, which is old, but cut great. I use Corel X8 on a couple year old Windows 7 Pro and an old Photoshop 6.0 in a VM XP Mode for photos. This is the machine I spend most my time...

You funny James Burke, and really nice set up on the blaster plumbing. Seriously, I learn something new everyday and I recently learned you can sharpen a pipe wrench, or the teeth anyway. Now the next time I've got a couple of weeks to do nothing, I'll sit down with a file and go to work.

Come on Gino, 21 foot rule. I learned the knife as a farm boy, Uncle Sam taught me the throwing star. Anybody ever actually rolled up up you? Hit with a tire iron?

Sorry, Boudica, I type slow. Started my post before the Tesla info. You still Rock!
