Its MUCH simpler than that..... Replace the carriage felt pads. They get gunked up with ink, and its like glue holding the carriage to the rail. Do this: Turn it off, pull out the maint cart tray, then manually slide the head over. See how hard it is to move it by hand? Counterintuitive...

I hope you have a rollepro for all of those rivets? Just leave a vertical channel along the rivet rows. Crazy fast time saver.

Eric, I'm with you on almost all transactions non-swipe. We use authorize.net, which is the payment gateway, not the processor. It connects to the processor, which in our case is EXS merchant services. Given our volume and history, we are at 2.125 plus affinity charges, which is pretty good...

Oh, and adding 3 phase just find a building with it. We had a perfect location in our sights, local elec utility wanted $90k to get 3 phase to us. Then the install cost on top of that. That's partly why 14k sq ft of goodness was so attractively priced. Of course the cost depends on your distance...

What about redundancy? Add a larger number of lower cost machines? If you are running on tight deadlines, and you go down hard, service up your way might be an issue for a big machine.

I'm gonna dumb it down even more, with the interest of your friend getting a bigger bonus with very little extra work. Buy a used mac mini on ebay. A g4 will work, under $80 but an older intel dual processor machine would be better you can find them sub $200 as you'll get wifi which makes the...

Walmart has been making their own signs for years. And look at all that ultraboard in a walmart. It should be no surprise that the manufacturer is just about across the street from WM's hq. Anyone ever get the WM blue mis printed sheets of ultra as cover sheets in a case lot order? Kinda like...

Gandinnovations packaged the jeti RTR's with it. I'd imagine Agfa still has that product under their sales umbrella. Chicago you and I stalk the same place, I guess.

You have crime in NSW? I thought it was all beaches and lifeguarding lol. Seriously, nice job for your first one!

I see it differently. We depend on our UPS driver. She comes early, bends the stupid little UPS rules for us, and picks up extra late. All of these things allow us to provide better service to our clients, and in turn grow our business and our bottom line. So, yes, I recognize that with a decent...

Alpha imaging is there with latex. My perception is that being the only one showing a piece at a show can be good for business, especially if there's interest in that piece to begin with. They wouldn't have the presence they have if it's otherwise.

I'm quite familiar with the area from Ludlow East to Springfield and Chester and South to Londonderry and Manchester onto Bennington. Short story you'll have a tough time making money in the sign biz in that area for a number of reasons, primary one being that the limited amount of good...

We will be there exhibiting, stop by and say hi! Booth 328, center of hall towards the back. Giving it another chance. The USSC is a great organization and in the end, in my eyes, and asset to the industry despite the fact that they may not be the best at producing a trade show.

Nice catch Gigi. You guys eat those dogfish down your way? They're a viable commercial fishery up here, they get shipped to England for fish and chips.

Nice work, you did good. Which one did you wind up with? Feel free to PM me if you have q's.

You can get pallet rack beams in 9' and 10' lengths. We put our 8' sheets on 9' beams to make it easier. Theres a chit ton of it used, or check our buyrack.com

As a trade printer, we're on the other side as well. I feel compelled to reply, because this very scenario reared it's ugly head last week. Our client sent us files, but due to the storm, and internet and power outages, we didn't receive them, then we couldn't get our client on the phone or...

I bet it's a hardware issue. Especially if it's not the unibody style case, which I'm betting it's not. As they age, the torsion that takes place from grabbing it by the edges and moving it around, combined with aging solder joints, can cause this behavior. I've read about reflowing the board...

+1 for virtual timeclock!

One of my regular accounts uses clearshield without issue on the latex prints.
