  1. Advice on dealing with a non-paying customer?

    A teller can't tell you how much is there, or even if it's close... I did remember a while back reading about a guy that asked the teller "Theoretically, how much money would I have to deposit to make the check clear?" The teller told him an amount, he pulled the cash out of his pocket (seems...
  2. Past week installs...

    I love the VIP Tees... Nice job :thumb:
  3. Is this a good business decision?

    It will probably be like the last time that the lotto got pretty big. (3) investment bankers bought $3 in tickets, and won.... Thats right, they spent a buck apiece, and now that much richer.... I threw $1 in a pool with 70 odd other people that I work with at a day job, but probably won't...
  4. MDO Edges

    I also learned that if mdo is going to fail, it will be on the sharp edge, so I run a 1/8" round over on the edges, then fill with a (2) part wood putty (made by bondo, but made for wood). Sand smooth, prime, then paint.
  5. Anyone know this font?

    I had a customer send me this one, and I can't get her to understand that she is sending me bitmap images, and not vector... (she sends me artwork for banners for a high school drama club every once in a while, and there are no problems with those files...) Thanks in advance, Mark
  6. Old software

    I have the install disks (3.5") for CrashMate here in my misc. software box on a shelf in my office... I still use CrashMate for some things, like creating a perspective shadowing.
  7. some advice please----

    So you didn't verify that it worked prior to taking possession of it. Not smart. Had you plugged it in when you picked it up, you may have had a claim, but since you didn't, there is no telling of when it "stopped" working.
  8. Breakdown of members niche in the sign industry...

    Well, I do vehicle lettering, but I don't do wraps. Signs, business cards, and I have been doing more dimensional work. I just finished up a interior illuminated sign cab't with a vandal proof face (over the changeable copy) for a local church, and I just put a bid in for a v shaped interior...
  9. Is all oracal material marked?

    Does all the rolls of Oracal come with the grid pattern and name on the backing? All I use is oracal material, and I have a couple of rolls that have just plain white backing. No big deal, until I get a roll, and notice that its shrinking... The roll is only a couple of months old, and now...
  10. Duct tape fix (aka church wth?)

    Just got this e-mailed to me... Guess you can fix just about everything with duct tape...:ROFLMAO:
  11. 90 Seconds or less?

    I don't know what the #$!$@# is going on over there, but they are really starting to @$#^ up... 90 seconds isn't really that bad of a deal, but I called at 8 am on Wednesday, and ordered a couple of rolls of vinyl, and they said that they were coming from Philly...a one day ship from me...
  12. Quickbooks pro help needed...

    Hey guys, I have QB pro 2005, and I think I need to set it up more for its potential... at least to give me a profit / loss margin. I know it's too late to do it for previous years, but I want to try to implement something for this year moving forward... Here are a list of fixes that I...
  13. software

    I must be. I have used Cocut at a previous job, and it wasn't all that...in my opinion. As far as the bells and whistles...I really don't need them. I am using Signtools 3, so I can do the outlines right in corel. I don't rotate material to cut, and I arrange the colors to cover best use of...
  14. software

    That being the printer/plotter, I'm betting you need the printer tools. I have the d60 plotter, and in corel you select the text you want to plot, select send to winplot, and it opens winplot. you just click send to plot, and its done.
  15. software

    Cocut is a nice add on, but you don't really have to have it. With summa, you can download winplot, and off you go. With cocut, you get weed lines, but you can just add that into your corel file when you send it to plot...
  16. Now that's a tat!

    My bad.... But for the record, the ones you can see on me are tame...i knew that I would have customers judge me...it's whats underneath. I did see an amazing reaper that I'm planning for a cover up on my chest.
  17. Now that's a tat!

    Dude, it's got to be something with your personality...what works for one won't work for another. I have several, and they all fit within my personality, and each and every one has a meaning...
  18. Let's Discuss Pickles...

    I hear ya. I order my burger with out pickles, and always check before leaving the place or driving off. If it happens to be on there, I just pick it off, and fling it back on the window... Yes, I'm an a$$-ole, but I want it the way that I order it. (Hey, my parents told me I could be anything...
  19. Know your customers going in.....................

    I think I need to spin the wheel and guess a new letter...
  20. Vinyl Cutter Question

    +1...One other thing to consider is customer service and tech support. Years ago, I worked at a national sign manufacturer, and they tasked me to purchase a plotter. I looked at them all, Ioline, Roland, Summa...more than I can remember... I chose the summa. We got the tagential 48", and it...
