I've started using a program called KeePass which is a password vault, you only have to remember 1 password, and it is able to automatically generate very secure passwords for you and store them in the locked vault, when you need to use them just copy/paste I don't even know what any of my...

That sound like a perfect solution to me, at least until it's long enough to attach to the take up.

We do a bit of work for some unions around me, they have a sign supplier they are supposed to use who is unionized, however they take 6-8 weeks to make a banner, so they try not to use them if possible.

I bet, Onyx always tells you it's been fixed on the next version, which you have to pay thousands of $ for by the way. There is no excuse for this, like you said, versaworks does it no problem at all, I would expect a more professional program that costs thousands of dollars to be able to do...

There is a local sign hack in my area who's main source of referrals is to drive around and stick his contact info decals on other people's signs. He did it to us and we lost a LED message board job because the client thought they made it instead of us, now the client can't get him to return...

I agree, with ND your level of discount is based on how friendly you are with your sales rep, problem is the reps are constantly changing and keeping up with who your current rep is is exhausting. Also if your sales rep is out of the office or on vacation, you need to wait till they get back...

I've never bought any equipment from ND, but I refuse to believe they are better than anyone when it comes to support, their customer service is terrible! Every few years I convince myself to try using them again and I'm reminded why I stopped in the first place.

If you are happy with versaworks, I would stick with a Roland cutter, it will be a seamless transition. If you go with another brand, you will need to get a third party rip and you will loose some of the functionality of the printer (Roland swatch library). I agree the graphtec is superior to...

does it do this when you print on matte finish vinyls? I have found the matte finish helps hide some of this stuff.

We have had the same issue on every roland we have ever owned, my solution was to ditch them.

Same with out s80600, banners print perfectly on 4 pass, most day to day stuff is printed on 6 pass, 8 pass is reserved for vehicle graphics and prints with lots of solid dark backgrounds that can't have any banding whatsoever.

I've been using CorelDraw for years and have no issues with colour control, as they say, "it's a bad carpenter who blames his tools."

When I was at the CONSAC show a few years ago, there was a company selling premade hanging strips, I can't find them any longer, but it seemed like a good idea as I hate risking my fingers running half inch strips through the table saw.

We have 2 lasers, there have been times I have considered a CNC router, however there is a guy around the corner with one that we send stuff out to when needed. Keep in mind a CNC requires a bit more planning, they are loud and dusty, so you need to have a way of keeping the dust out of the...

I can see this happening, you don't want to put yourself in the situation where you are the bad guy because the bank you use won't finance your client due to a credit issue, then you come out looking like the bad guy. Also, how would it work if they stop making payments, do you have to go an...

On larger vista signs, I found that a vinyl print applied to 0.020 styrene worked much better than paper.

If the new material covers the paint issue and you can't see it, I would just do that. Also, we have had issues where paint comes off when removing wall graphics and 99% of the time it's because the painter didn't prime the wall properly. I had one large wall graphic where we pulled it off and...

Part of our business is engraving lamacoids and other plastic electrical tags. we got an email from a big company asking for a quote on engraving tags for 40 projects they have on the go right now, we have never dealt with them before. Now this job is right up our alley, the files are set up...

Sounds like you are taking on 100% of the liability in the event something goes wrong, Plus you are spending a lot of time finding the appropriate vendor etc. I don't think 100% is out of line

That's really stupid on Roland's part, do they not want to encourage people to buy more than 1 of their machines?
