  1. Discussion Not sure I'm thinking correctly.........................

    Best be careful Gino. Your customer may wait until the weekend when you are closed & then drop a wall of dumpsters around your shop and set up an Autonomous Geno Free Dumpster Zone. Hold you off until you agree to their demands of free-range missed and unscheduled appointments. Haven't you been...
  2. I can't import Tif files into Signlab 8

    Open it in something (free) like: https://www.irfanview.com/ Resave it as a tif turning off all compression. If that does not work save it to a max quality png or jpg and see what happens
  3. Cut Vinyl vs Printed Vinyl...

    Coroplast is temporary and is printed. We don't lam unless the customer is going to be moving the signs around. Full bleed, dark-colored signs tend to weld themselves together in the trunk of a car with the heat and humidity here. We do cut vinyl for stuff that is intended to stick around...
  4. Discussion Not sure I'm thinking correctly.........................

    Come on Gino you gotta man up. I once pinstriped and partially wrapped the lid and inside the lid of a coffin at a mortuary. It was already set up for viewing. Meaning it was occupied. Was the mom of one of my dear long-time customers so I didn't mind (much), funny part was I took a helper and...
  5. Post holes with a drill...

    Tex how do you holster your drill with a 2ft auger in the chuck? Do you strap up regular or reversed so you can cross draw?
  6. Discussion Not sure I'm thinking correctly.........................

    Gino he is probably renting them out to the protestors at night and once they push them into the street & light them on fire it must be hard to get them back.
  7. Just an observation...

    Johnny, Gino - this is getting really weird now. Maybe time to re-evaluate the direction this is heading.
  8. Just an observation...

    Sally is a little more caustic with political posts so I'd rather not have it linked back here, ruining my sterling sign-guy 101 image.......
  9. Just an observation...

    I used my wife's Facebook (I don't use Facebook) login to auto sign-in for several political sites and didn't realize I would show up as Sally until it was too late to change. Makes for some funny replies and keeps me from going political here where we only talk about serious sign stuff.
  10. Just an observation...

    I think the numbers were trending down
  11. Question Just want to understand EPS files

    In the down and dirty world of printing other people's files you are going to get more and more of this. There are work-a-rounds and solutions that will give you degrees of success on your journey to lay down ink on vinyl. The best solution would be to bite the bullet and pick up a subscription...
  12. Shop roomba?

    Our shop rumba was named Freddie, a nice old guy from the Philippines. We had to furlough him when the lockdown got extended for the second time.
  13. Building a room for our new flatbed printer, any tips or suggestions?

    They could go with a mezzanine, seal it up tight, print below, storage on top.
  14. Brand New HP Latex 335 wont turn on

    Did you tell them you would store the 200lbs of parts at your shop free of charge so they don't have to pay for the return shipping?
  15. Just In Sheet Yield Nesting/Imposition Calculator

    =IF(C19 lockdown end >= 11.2020,"Retire","Keep Working")
  16. First game of NFL football tonight

    The part of MMA violence that makes me really cringe (other than when two women are wailing on each other) is when the ring girl exits the cage & is still up at the top and throws the round indicator sign down onto the floor without even looking. I wince thinking of that PVC or whatever it is...
  17. First game of NFL football tonight

    I will, it's not only constitutionally protected it's MMA legal....
  18. First game of NFL football tonight

    My wife watches the European league football (soccer) and they are piping in the canned cheering, so same as before the lockdowns. The UFC is running sans spectators and now it is so quiet you can hear both teams coaching their fighters along with all the impacts from the strikes - good stuff.
  19. New Zeland is growing a back bone now...

    Think it's a case of closing the barn door after your chickens have come home to roost..... however that goes. We are a closed ecosystem here so isolation is next to impossible. Everyone has to go to pretty much the same places for critical supplies - we only have one Home Depot no Lowes or...
  20. New Zeland is growing a back bone now...

    I have to throw in with my fellow islanders here but we are taking it hard in the shorts right now. We went from 300 cases with 6 deaths last month to almost 2000 cases and 25 deaths. We are so small contact tracing is just one big red blot. We are in an extended lockdown with no real end date...
