  1. Drone video

    Do you find the smaller / DJI drones are taking a chunk out of your business, or is it a completely different market? I had a quote on replacing a bunch of signs on a bridge that were old. We were doing a sight inspection and the engineer met us... I was surprised when he pulls out a DJI drone...
  2. Drone video

    The DJI Ones are super easy, but expensive. But even with the price... They'll be cheaper than paying someone to do it for you. 4K Video... They have preset, one button clicks that'll tell the drone to do certain flyby / boomerang shots, etc. Heck..you can even select a "Target" and it'll...
  3. Reflective Sticker Vinyl 30"

    48012 nikkalite is what I use. Prints nice and perf cuts really easy on the graphtec with clean edges.
  4. EPSON TAKE UP HELP!!!

    Take-up is a $900 usd part I believe. We almost had to replace ours until we fixed it (different issue) and that's what we were quoted. Easily user installable
  5. HP 560 Latex vinyl waste

    The waste is pretty big. Lets say you waste 2 FT of material every load... Depending on the material it could be more. Unless you print 20 FT at a time... You just added 10% waste onto your normal waste. So if you're printing a 36" x 36" print for instance...you're using 20 SQFT of material to...
  6. Latex 360 smoking?!

    Is your hip all bumpy? When it overheats it melts and bubbles. Most of not all of the smoke is likely condensation. Even in our 20k sqft shop we get it sometimes
  7. Poll... Is this site still slow?

    Yeah, it's got to be an issue with the site and chrome. I just browsed for 5 mins with no slowdown on Firefox... Switched back to chrome and I'm back to 30 second loads :(
  8. Poll... Is this site still slow?

    Is everyone that is slow using Chrome browser? Using it on my phone and my pc and it's slow. I tried Firefox in both and it seems to be back to normal.... No slowdowns yet (knock on wood)
  9. Poll... Is this site still slow?

    1 second isnt bad. But sometimes it'll sit there loading for literally 30 seconds. It'll be stuck on "connecting" with nothing happening... hitting refresh sometimes fixes it and causes it to load quickly... but more often than not it takes a good 20-30 seconds to load a page, or send a reply.
  10. Poll... Is this site still slow?

    Very slow for me still. I know it seems like it's just slow for a "Few" users... but most of the "Regulars" who post a lot are the ones complaining. It seems like more people have posted that it's slow rather than that it's not. So while it might seem like just a few of the vocal people are...
  11. Robert's First Town Hall Meeting

    We have a hike called the grouse grind. It's a brutal, world famous hike they nickname stairway to hell. First time took me 4 hours to do.... Second time two... Then I got down to 1. At the top... They have a bistro where they sell a pound of poutine...
  12. Robert's First Town Hall Meeting

    Haha. Geography isn't my strong suite :) I thought the top 4 were close enough it didn't make a difference. I didn't realize Toronto has 3x what bc has and Quebec is 30-40% higher. Nothing against Quebec, I was just joking to save face! I do love poutine... Although I hear what we get out west...
  13. Robert's First Town Hall Meeting

    Montreal is their own wannabe country, so we don't include them.
  14. Robert's First Town Hall Meeting

    Were Vancouver area based, second largest city in Canada. We've been in business for 30ish years though...so we're well established. We also have 4 sales reps, so we go after the work we Wanft rather than let it come to us. Most of our clients are long term, ongoing repeat customers... Some...
  15. Office Depot has a large format printer? Good riddance.

    I think it's $3-600 depending on height you need here. The $800 was just an insane example. 90% of the time we subcontract it out to a sign company we work with who charges us $150 an hour.. Usually it's much cheaper for us to do it that way, unless it's a huge 5-8 hour install.
  16. Robert's First Town Hall Meeting

    I've been around S101 to "understand" how most people in here think. I think what you're overlooking is that the kind of marketing you're suggesting is the kind most people on here don't want. Google reviews don't bring in the kind of accounts most people want... A lot of us are busy on big...
  17. Office Depot has a large format printer? Good riddance.

    We have another company we work with that has a bucket truck. 90% of the time we just outsource the install to them and we get a bit of free money just setting it up. Anytime it's something we want to install rather than contract... We itemize the quote. There's nothing wrong with a $900...
  18. What is wrong with S101 today?

    This should confirm with you it's a site issue and not on our end. Half my post attempts are met with this error... Switching servers is never problem free. I hope you take all the replies and "jabs" as helping you try to get things back to normal, not as complaints. At least that's what I...
  19. Onyx 12 and FC9000

    Print and cut won't work. You can manually.make files.in cutting master as mentioned.. But I can confirm onyx won't see the 9000. We couldn't until we upgraded
  20. Need Help Writable Material

    Most matte vinyls, or matte overlam allow you to write on it with a pen / felt and it dries pretty quick and doesn't wipe off
