    I'm not a designer, So I don't try to be one - It's why we have paid designers. Mr Remax employee who sells houses for a living an hour a day, also is not a designer, and should not try to design. When AI Gets good enough that you can tell it what to do, and it does it properly... it'll be...

    It's not always that simple. If you accept Realtors the brokerages usually have rules. Most realtors buy 5-10 signs... Some will buy 50 signs at once. I'd say 80% of the work from a brokerage is worth it... But you can't just refuse, or set a min limit or you lose all of that brokerages...

    https://easyupload.io/h9nf3r Figured I'd upload a canva file I just got. supposed to cut about 40 room names and apply them - The person saves it as 40 individual files... I went through how to export it as PDF, click this option, make sure this one isnt clicked, etc... And I get this file...

    Because it's not just logos that can easily be traced. Do you do your artwork for free? We always throw an estimate out so that they know and can budget for it. A lot of times we build it into the quote because people don't like to pay an artwork fee... There's something like designing a whole...

    I have a guy I do quite a bit of business with... he likes to design his own stuff. I'll go down... take measurements of his whole store front, and he'll say he'll design it and get back to me. 2 weeks later... he sends me a JPG thats like 10" Tall, for a 8 FT Window graphic... It's in the...

    I signed up with a canva account and pay the yearly fee.... Seems like 50% of the supplied artwork is from canva... And I tell them to share the file with me, the. I edit it. I won't even attempt to fix someone's canva file anymore if I don't have access to it. I still get peoplemwho design...
  7. Threat of Closing this year...

    It's different in Canada. 5 years is the standard term, some people go for 10, but 5 is most common - real estate is so hot right now, no one will give you a lease with guaranteed rates for 10 years, or 5 years with a renewal at xx percent. They'd rather you leave in 5 years so they can double...
  8. Threat of Closing this year...

    Being a small business sucks in most markets... If you're in a "Major" or Semi Major city, rent is crazy. To get a 1000 SQFT Place right now... It'd cost me $3500 a month for a business... Thats just for rent, doesnt include utilities or anything else. And there is no guarantee in the next 5...
  9. Suggestions Need a new wholesale screen-printing partner (Decals)

    Shoot me a message if you can't find anyone, I'm out today but we are 3m certified / buy direct, and weve been doing screen printing for 25ish years. We do lots of printing on foil as well... For the customers who refuse to swap to newer technology! Would be shipping from Vancouver.... So it...
  10. Styrene vs Sintra, what's the difference?

    We use styrene a lot - the oil company here uses them for hang tags and other things, so we print thousands of sheets. It's cheap.... And an upgrade from paper... But that's pretty much it. One parking garage uses styrene for their signs... And they're all cracked and shit. Coroplast would...
  11. FC9000 + Take up reel review

    That video shows they have cut makrs every FT... There is no way to make it roll in both directions when cutting - the take up reel is slow... think about it, if you were on 100 speed cutting, how would it handle it? No system is that way... Summa doesnt do it, the $100,000 flatbed cutters...

  13. FC9000 + Take up reel review

    Do you have a link to the video? If you use segment marks... It'll cut between the marks and then take up before it reads the next marks. I believe that's the only way, it will not take up if you're not using segments because it would be doing way too much back and forth and the take up real...
  14. FC9000 + Take up reel review

    Turn on segment cutting in your software and it'll cut every segment - that's how we do print and cut, and even 50 ft ones in onyx. I know cutting master / Flexi does it as well.
  15. Rant Whatever happened to Health & Safety?

    Not going to lie, I've thrown the ladder in the bed of my truck a few times to get some extra height when needed. I was just installing some overhead signs in a parking garage.... Was using 2 ladders and drilling into the concrete overhead sucks, so I backed up the truck and stood on the teneau...
  16. Nesting software suggestions?

    $1995. They kept hounding me after the trial asking for feedback / why I didn't want to buy it... I told them I can see the appeal for laser / cnc users, but I planned on using it for vinyl.... To save $2000 in vinyl would have taken me decades.... And for CNC stuff (non printed) deepest is...
  17. Nesting software suggestions?

    Did they? it's still on their website. https://onyxgfx.com/products/onyx-trufit/ I didnt find the software bad, but the cost of it was ridiculous. Would be nice if they offered it to all their rip users for free, even if they didnt upgrade it...
  18. 5 Layers - Window Cling - 2 sided see through text

    Do you see it actually printing all 5 layers? Or are you just assuming it does? Again...cant help with colorado, but on HP you can see on the preview screen all 5 layers and cycle through them. And you can see it actually laying down each color of image. I heard colorado ink is pretty...
  19. Nesting software suggestions?

    Do you mean a rip? for just nesting rectangles / squares? Or a true nest? Flexi, caldera, onyx (There is no 20 file limit, we do thousands). Just search for wide format rip.... all of them can do regular nesting. All of them are expensive and cost thousands of dollars though... unless you...
  20. 5 Layers - Window Cling - 2 sided see through text

    It doesn't look like it's printing 5 layers to me. I don't have a Colorado... But 5 layers should have color, white, black, white, color.... The white black white should be way, way more opaque than that. Just sandwich mode on our latex is a bit transparent, but 5 layer makes it 100%...
