Wow! our entire serve going back to 2006 is 165GB!

Explain how you use google drive to back up a computer in a reliable manner?

Construction site project managers are some of the most over stressed people I've ever dealt with, I wouldn't want their job! at any given moment they have 1000 things up in the air, and they all depend on the trades doing what they are supposed to, when they are supposed to, which never happens!

We run into this all the time, signage is always the last thing they think about. However I've never had any complain about the cost, they need it or they don't get occupancy, missing that is worth a lot more to them than the cost of the sign! and given the details you gave, I would have been...

I can't speak for all offsite companies, however Carbonite does not charge extra for retrieval after a certain # of GB have been downloaded, the business plans are based on how many GB of storage you need, you can upload and download as much as you want, as long as you don't go over your total...

We have a total of 10 PCs in our shop, the only thing on them is programs, all files get saved to our server, which is just a computer with 2 big HDD's in it, they mirror each other and if 1 fails, we can just buy a new one, pop it in and it will automatically sync with the other HDD. The...

A retail operation is one that buys a finished product and adds a markup to resell, but does not add any value to the product or change the product in any real way, such as a grocery store, Walmart, clothing store etc. a retail operation often uses loss leaders to get people in the store in...

Yup, the canadian dollar isn't doing too well against the greenback right now, oddly I never got my price decrease notice when our dollar was above or at par with the American dollar, it must have gone in my spam folder :rolleyes:

Never offer a custom product as a loss leader, loss leaders are a retail world item, sign shops do not operate in the retail world.

I got a sample of this material http://www.drytac.ca/viziprint.html its unlike any material I've ever seen. The adhesive is like a super strong static cling and the media is very ridgid, super easy install!

Just to make sure, you are all getting your quarterly price increases from 3M right? I would hate to see those start going downhill as well

I have noticed the biggest factor in laminate shrinking is the tension on the laminator as it's applied, sometimes if there is too much tension on the laminate, after the decal has been cut there is substantial shrinking back in the direction the tension was applied. The trick is to use as...

When we get asked this we either go ahead and bite the bullet and come up with a design, this is only if they are a good existing client with a history of not picking apart everything. the other times we send them examples of previous work for them to get a feel for what we can do. however in...

Yup! importing something from china that has not been tested is a surefire way to be sued if anything should happen.

ahhh sorry in your original post you didn't say that your client didn't clear this with the end user, that changes everything! We've done this on occasion with architects, where we deal with the architect throughout the whole project, but the invoice goes to the general contractor, it takes...

not sure I follow, the designer is still sending you print ready files, so you still have no "prep" work that you would have with a retail customer, the only change is who pays the bill correct? if so what's the problem? have her customer fill out a credit application and extend the same...

What?!? I've also been dealing with Gemini for over 10 years and I've never seen a payment charge, we have net 30 terms with them, they invoice us.

Ive never bothered to keep track of inventory, we buy materials for specific jobs, when the job is done the materials are considered paid for. If we happen to get another job out of a off-cut, it's just a nice bonus!

Great job! how many hours do you have in the amigo sign?

Holy hell you talk a lot of ****! I didn't reply to your comment about a lack of talent because I don't see a lack of talent from the OP, in fact most of the designs he has posted have been great. Peevy has always posted helpful answers to threads when he can, and I think makes the site...
