  1. 3M 180 V3 - Anyone else short?

    You're still getting your bi-annual price increases from 3M though right? I would hate to see them not keep on top of those!
  2. lobby sign hints and help

    Gemini is not expensive, we have 2 laser cutters and we still send out acrylic letters and logos to be made by Gemini quite often, for what they charge, I can't buy the raw materials for...
  3. Organization Help

    Lol, just throwing it out there... As for sending all orders to a certain email address, we tried that a few years ago, it didn't really work, it was impossible to get clients to change which address they use, we ended up having to forward all orders to a singular address, which was just adding...

  5. Church Pricing?

    This is a very important thing to remember, most churches are not broke, they have learned that if they pretend they are broke, they get more money and handouts.
  6. Roland BN-20 - Tube & Bottle System

    does the BN-20 use a different setup to other roland printers for ink disposal? all 3 of our roland printers have a bottle that screws to the underside of the printer under the pump and ink drains into it. when it gets full, you dispose of the ink. Is that not the case with these little...
  7. What material for floor safety signs ?

    our neighbouring unit was a warehouse with multiple forklifts, a few years ago I asked if I could install a few floor graphic tests in their high traffic areas I printed on Oracal 3561 and laminated with a textured floor laminate (there are many) 2.5 years later they were still holding up very...
  8. SignVox Accepting Payments

    Be very careful switching to quickbooks online, we tried it about 5 months ago and it was pretty bad, lots of bugs, including not being able to do payroll. I called them about it and they told me they were aware of the issues but couldn't tell me when it would be fixed. the kicker was when I...
  9. Why does Sign Warehouse have to suck?

    Every supplier has a different market segment that they target, It seems Sign Warehouse is going after the hobbyist, not "real" sign shops, hence the cheap equipment, ebay sales etc. The hobbyist does not care about service, chances are they are going to move on to new endeavors after a year...
  10. Need Help In mounting acrylic letters to concrete wall

    If you are ordering the letters from Gemini, you can get them with VHB tape already applied, however they put quite a lot on, you may be able to specify to leave enough of the letter without tape to allow a healthy amount of silicone ( or lexel) to be applied. if not, I'm not sure if VHB tape...
  11. Issues centering text

    thanks! I your script seems to work great for single page documents, however when we setup files for engraving, each tag has it's own page, soo 300 tags = 300 page document, how would you word a script that converts multiple page documents to curves, centres the object to the page and moves on...
  12. Issues centering text

    Yeah i've done the shortcuts, after page 300 of ctrl+Q, P, PgDn, you start to hallucinate lol. I've never had success recording a macro, have you done it? can you point to a tutorial online?
  13. Issues centering text

    I seem to be having issues with text centering in coreldraw x5, we are setting up files with 3 numbers centered in a square of a certain size, it seems that corel centers the text to the bounding box of the text rather than to the text itself. as a result text (especially numbers) are way off...
  14. Need Help In mounting acrylic letters to concrete wall

    I don't think you can get 1/8" thick acrylic letters drilled & tapped for studs, I think they have to use a pad mount, which will raise your letters off the wall. d/s tape and a good quality silicone should last a good long time indoors or outdoors. the only consideration I would have is if it...
  15. Low Res Logos from Customers -- To recreate or not....that is the question...

    i will let them know that the image will not print very well, sometimes I will print a small sample of it on scrap material to show them how bad it will look. I let them know that I can recreate it in a format that they can use for all their advertizing for $xxx, most don't pay it so i print...
  16. What material for a back car window decal

    not sure if there is an air release clear vinyl available for the edge, I know Mactac makes a 54" clear with air release. have you considered making a installation instruction sheet on how to wet apply a decal with soapy water?
  17. Help with outsourcing cutting

    Yup most places won't use your materials for the simple reason that if something goes wrong during cutting (which it sometimes does) you may feel they "owe" you something for the material they "wasted". Also, you are never going to get 50 yards of sell-able useage out of a 50 yard roll...
  18. Looks like it wasn't meant to be.

    Yup, i couldn't tell you the last time I sold a logo design to someone, it seems that with sites like fiverr and others, people are getting graphic design work done for much less than we can do it for. Unfortunately, graphic design is something that can be done on the other side of the world...
  19. Spot color foils on clear

    From what i've heard from our suppliers, less and less people are using their gerber edge machines, I don't think you will see much R&D going into new products for it unfortunately.
  20. Vujade Software

    the Average sign company has nowhere near 20 employees!!!!! I'm sorry but the pricing on this seems to be WAY high!!!!, Charging a "one time setup" fee goes against the whole point of a monthly subscription service, which is to avoid a large outset of $ in the beginning.
