  1. 3M Engineer Grade Reflective

    a cheap house brand laminate would work just fine for what you are trying to do, the added cost would be extremely minimal, especially when compared to the price of 3M reflective vinyl!!
  2. Ditching cable TV

    most of the major sports leagues offer an online viewing package such as NFL GamePass or NHL Centre Ice, they are not free, but much less than paying for cable all year round to watch football for a few months a year
  3. Ditching cable TV

    Yes you need a "device" hooked up to each TV, we have a roku upstairs, and a desktop PC hooked up downstairs, the PC acts as a media server for our music, movies etc and can serve content to the roku upstairs, there are "tv tuner" cards that you can put in a PC to turn the PC into a DVR like...
  4. Painting Glass in Very Cold Weather

    I agree With Z Signs, cover the windows with a print mounted to a substrate of some sorts
  5. Ditching cable TV

    We ditched cable 4 years ago and haven't looked back, between netflix, itunes and streaming shows through their website, i honestly don't see the need for cable, unless you are a sports fan. Honestly, up here the selection of online content is pretty bad, when I see how much you guys get down...
  6. My key for 7.6 broke, what to do?

    No no idea, I would imagine a few hundred bucks.
  7. Ok, I have to share. This was a new one..

    Wow, what a helpful and relevant answer....:rolleyes:
  8. My key for 7.6 broke, what to do?

    Well it's not strictly speaking legal, but if flexi is saying the dongle company is gone and they can't help you, you can try a service like this http://www.dongleservice.com/dongle-emulator.phtml
  9. Throwback Thursday?

    Opened our mail today to find this gem, I haven't received an order by snail mail in over 15 years! When called them about it, they told me it was easier to mail it than to have to measure it....
  10. What would YOU do with the money?

    I never said we run them on "new" computers, our edge runs on a old refurb unit we go for $100.
  11. What would YOU do with the money?

    The issue I have is not about being able to afford the subscription, it's about paying thousands and thousands of dollars over the years for software that you don't own, as soon as soon as you decide to stop paying, the software stops working, holding your proprietary files hostage with it, even...
  12. What would YOU do with the money?

    I disagree, for production software, we have many copies dating back almost 20 years that run our gerber edge and engraver, they all work perfectly fine and do a great job, sure there are newer versions that have a few extra features, but what we have gets the job done.
  13. What would YOU do with the money?

    What happens if I decide after a year that I don't like flexi and want to switch to another program, is there a way for me to open my files I made in flexi and save them in another format, or does the program lock you out when you cancel? In other words I design a sign for bobs car wash in...
  14. What would YOU do with the money?

    Some of these companies must think we are really dumb to not be able to see through their BS "it's less expensive to go with a subscription" jargon what they are attempting to do is lock you into a monthly payment so they have a steady income stream. since they will no longer need to rely on...
  15. What would YOU do with the money?

    Now post the one 5 years later, where the guy who bought his software outright doesn't have a monthly payment and the guy on the subscription realizes he's spent $3000.00 on a piece of software that stops working the minute he stops feeding the monthly payment monster....
  16. Oracal issues

    Is it just me or does Oracal seem to be out of stock on quite a few of their colours? We have a job to go where we need some 8800 translucent 181 Lilac Blue is an exact match for what i need, I don't have a lot of hope for a distributor stocking it due to the fact it's not a very popular...
  17. Sign Shop on CNBC's "The Profit"

    I think the thing that got me the most was when he said "I don't want to do work for mom & pops anymore, i'm only interested in national companies" you've got to be an idiot to say that on TV! he's in a relatively small town, a majority of his local work will be for "mom & pops". yes national...
  18. mounting signs to drywall...

    Don't overthink it, the 4941 with some silicone will hold these on the wall with no issues!
  19. Organization of jobs

    I think that's his current setup
  20. Organization of jobs

    about 5 months ago we implemented a card system, every job gets a card filled out with basic info (customer, job #, job description, due date) the card travels through the different stages (quote, design/proof, order materials, production, installation, invoice) there is a paper work order that...
