  1. Discussion Would you fire this employee?

    Well, y'all could have a reprobate like me workin' for ya'. Whenever I ever feel like beating on something, I have one of my drum kits set up out in the shop. And I'm not afraid to use it... :rock-n-roll:
  2. Discussion Would you fire this employee?

    I've terminated people for less, and with no video evidence. If an adult can't be trusted unsupervised, they need to go, period. Sounds harsh, but the only other options are risk it happening again (possibly being worse, or that rage turned on another employee) or hire someone to babysit, I...
  3. Interesting...

    Seems odd how they flew under the radar with everything till that recent TOS update. Almost like a mass exodus had begun, and enough got caught up in those hidden termination fee loopholes to cause this. I wish I could get rid of the last remaining Adobe program I have. One license left for one...
  4. Affinity and Summa cutter´s

    Equipment manufacturers and 3rd parties are responsible for writing these plugins, I reached out to Serif a while back to ask if adding plugin support to affinity was on the radar. Their response was they are fully willing to work with them, but at that point there wasn't enough interest by...
  5. Interesting...

    Well, Adobe stepped across the line and caught someone's attention. DOJ and FTC filed a suit against them. Here's a link to the DOJ press release, there's also a link to the full complaint on the page, although heavily redacted...
  6. Affinity and Summa cutter´s

    If print equipment Mfgrs would partner up with Affinity for plugin support too, it would be game-over for Adobe. I've been using Affinity exclusively for designing for a few years now, send files right to rip from it, the ONLY issue is cutting. Currently I only have one license for one copy of...
  7. Substrate options for 10 foot outdoor sign

    Do seams all the time. I'd use 60" wide ACM, run the seam vertical, right down the center with a support brace behind it. It'll be shorter than running it horizontal, couple feet less to brace, and look better. It'll outlast painted wood in that application too.
  8. Rant Has windows defender ever caught a VIRUS?

    It's not solely defender that protects, there's also the windows firewall and malware tools, modern network modems/ routers also have their own firewall, and there's password protection. It's not so much any one in particular does anything magic, it's just the layers that have to be penetrated...
  9. How to trim down a 33-foot-long banner?

    Not sure, I'd have to ask the boss. If I remember I'll ask next week. I think we might only have one more of theirs on the schedule in our territory, so they seem to be coming to an end here too. We've been going crazy with updated branding for a ton different chains.
  10. How to trim down a 33-foot-long banner?

    You just need to get better equipped. If you have the room to do it on the floor, you have room for tables. I have 4x12 tables, same height, on wheels that I can move around for large stuff. We made the tables ourselves, welded steel frames with MDF tops and cutting mats. Probably a worthwhile...
  11. Suggestions Banner Sewing

    Place I retired from had a Mitsubishi double needle, don't remember the model number. It was kind of an entry level industrial, never had any issues with it. I kind of miss having one.
  12. Weird order scam? Anyone ever have something like this before?

    I once got three emails the same day, same exact "almost english" body message wanting design work for a new business, all had different email addresses and contacts. Either multiple scammers trying this, too lazy to change anything, or just one that's completely and utterly incompetent. :roflmao:
  13. Painted lettering

    A lot of paints are formulated to repel dirt, unfortunately they repel most vinyl too. When you get requests for stuff like this, you need something aggressive, and need to do an adhesion test. If you see any issues, knowing how to paint them on is a good additional skill to have to give...
  14. Does this jog any memories? (for Gen Xers and older)

    I do remember those. My parents used Guardian, they quit selling them when I was little, slowly got replaced as I was growing up. It all sat in boxes in the attic till my older sister got her first place, and they became her first set of cookware. She probably still has them in storage. Cool...
  15. PLEASE CALL SECURITY - looking for reflective blue

    The 2012 guide is probably the same one I have on file. It's a little outdated, but it looks like they use the same striping scheme with the exception of the red 911, so you'll be able to design it to whatever vehicle is used if they don't have an updated one. Which they probably don't. You'll...

    Oops....
  17. Best practice for cut vinyl ACM sign

    Yup. just like anything else.
  18. Best practice for cut vinyl ACM sign

    I'd go with C, quick, easy, collect, and go have lunch. Colored ACM, you'll get different results with different manufacturers, some is pretty cheap and will either fade sooner, or dark colors that get hotter in the sun will try to warp it. Stick with good stuff, and there's usually no issues...
  19. Question Got offered a good deal on an HP Scitex FB500

    Thank so much everyone. Being refurbished, all new heads, a very clean machine, and being fairly local, it was a tempting deal for the price as an addition. Being past it's service life is what was making me leery, especially with HP who's rather notorious for no parts availability after EOL ...
  20. finishing reverse channel letters

    I grew up in a body shop, my teething rings were bondo spreaders... Matthews paint is the bomb for this stuff, but my little brain instantly goes to what body shops use for filling/ pre-finishing supplies, primers, etc. :)
