  1. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has a new 500,00.00 logo

    Beer store is privately owner by Brewers Retail, which is owned by Molson, Labatts & Sleemans, none of which are Canadian companies anymore. LCBO is 100% government owned and operated
  2. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has a new 500,00.00 logo

    Without taking this into a political direction, I have no issue with the price of alcohol here, it helps pay for healthcare and other social services, if there wasn't such heavy taxes on booze and tobacco, my taxes would go up, at least this way it's not compulsory, no one is forcing me to drink...
  3. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has a new 500,00.00 logo

    Ridiculous! They are a state run monopoly, they could spend exactly $0 on marketing and it would not affect them one bit!
  4. CMYK Ribbons

    The only issue i've had using 3rd party refills is printing white on Edge positive film, only gerber brand foils will work properly, therefore the only Gerber branded foils we stock are white, around here Gerber is around 3x the price of Duracoat, not to mention the local gerber dealer never...
  5. Need Advice On A Color Conundrum With A Customer

    I would explain to him that "bright lime green" is not a professional way to describe colour. He needs to either invest in a pantone swatch book (preferably the Bridge vesrion), or use the roland one properly. Add to this that you can not match a pantone colour perfectly with a digital...

    Tell him to open up the wallet!
  9. eCommerce Suggestions

    I would think the $50/month would easily offset the labour of manually taking orders, if it results in less headaches and downtime, I would go for that.
  10. Working something out?

    I used to get annoyed by this, however you have to look at it through the eyes of a client, they don't know that you don't do free site visits, nor should they. In their eyes it's similar to hiring a contractor to build them a deck or something. Most contractors will come to your home,look...
  11. Shout Out To Gino

    Unfortunately, Gino was very rarely on topic, his posts generally started off well enough, but quickly turned into a gong-show of insults, put downs and other irrelevant dribble.
  12. Pbr can

    I would get a can, split it open untill it's flat, scan it in and vectorize it.
  13. Problem customer accepted installation on Friday, now says color is wrong, etc..

    Did you know about the concave section of the wall before you showed up to install? If so you should have informed her about the issues and told her that the map will have to be shrunk or else it will appear distorted. You are the professional here. however if you didn't know, or she told you...
  14. Limac laser VS big bands

    What thickness of acrylic would you be cutting? with an 80 watt machine, I doubt you could cut much more than 3/8" thick, we have a 100 watt and it will do 0.5" thick in a pinch, but the edges are less than perfect, but it will but 3/8" all day long
  15. What is this and where can I get more

    These are pretty standard sign frames in the engraving industry, not sure who the big engraving industry suppliers are in the USA, but all of them should carry them, the faces look to be rowmark. I would call up a local engraving shop and they should be able to supply you with the whole thing...
  16. Limac laser VS big bands

    I've only ever owned Trotec lasers, so i can't comment on any other brands. But from what i've read about the cheap chinese machines, the quality is like night and day, i've seen pictures on engraving forums where people bought chinese lasers for $2000 and some of the picture they posted were...
  17. does your vinyl ever behave like this?

    i get it with really cheap vinyl, like Proveer's house brand, but most of my standard vinyl is ok, I think it's a humidity thing.
  18. Any opinions on General Formulations AutoMark Concept 230

    We recently switched from 3651RA to Arlon 4560GTX for our intermediate day to day vinyl, so far no complaints, the arlon is a bit thicker which is nice, and I like the air-release pattern better.
  19. Limac laser VS big bands

    Yeah I was going to say, I just bought 2 speedy 300's 2 years ago, they start at around $20,000 or so, for a 45 watt with a 28"x17" table. however, the trotec does have a better warrantee, and there is a tech in Montreal, not sure how far that is from you.
