    good luck...yikes...
  3. Hours?

    Mon-Fri 9am-6pm I'm here usually until 7 or 8pm because I don't want to jump into traffic, but I quit answering the phone at 6pm. I might come in as early as 7am, but do not start answering the phone until 9am. I do not work on Saturday or Sunday unless it is a installation job that I really...
  4. flexisign pro 10 or Onyx postershop 10?

    I also have both with the HP Latex. Print and cut is easier with Flexi. Most options are easier to access in Flexi. Onyx has a lot of different settings if that's what you like to play with, but it is a bit more tedious to do some things. In my honest opinion, most of the time it takes...
  5. Max cable length for Graphtec

    I found a 25 foot cable at Fry's and it's working great!! I also am running a Graphtec. FC8000 - 160 It's a Graphtec!! Doesn't need much monitoring!!
  6. Who Prints a Small Volume of Poly Banners

    find a grand format printer (billboard type) and gang them up as one. No finish. You do the trim work. Shouldn't be much.
  7. Big Squeegee Sale

    I would be interested in trying a slitter out. I didn't see the sale.
  8. What kind of BLACK color built?

    I have a JV3 on Triangle Inks using Flexi for rip. I usually run 40/40/40/100 and have no problems. I think each individual's profile is going to make the difference.
  9. Orajet 3268 wall wrap

    I've tried many different vinyls and have found one that works on everything. It is more aggressive, but I let the customer know and let them worry about taking it down later. 3M IJ8624. It doesn't matter the texture, color, paint type, laminate - put some heat on it and you will not have any...
  10. Who can squeeze me in?

    I know you said medium/small, but a larger city like Houston, TX has many advantages. There are larger shops that do cater to more creative/profitable signage. The smaller shops are the ones hashing out the price wars and there are smaller shops (like mine) not playing price wars and selling...
  11. UPS anyone?

    I'm running a 1500 APC on my Mimaki JV3 and have not had any troubles. Been about 3 years on that now with no problems. Has saved me on a couple of occasions. It shows about 24 minutes of run time on full battery.
  12. Mimaki JV3 SP opinions

    The S is a 6 color and the SP is a double 4 color = should be faster.
  13. Mimaki JV3 SP opinions

    I run a JV3-160S and a FC8000-160. I use the software/macro install that came with Graphtec to cut out of CorelDraw. I print from Flexi and Onyx. Works like a charm. You can watch the "how to" videos on the Graphtec website.
  14. Computer gurus - attack!

    This is not the only reason. One of the reasons Mac OS and Linux OS do not get virus' is because their operating systems are based on open source coding. Windows is not. "Viruses target software. They corrupt files, hide in seemingly harmless places, and use the existing communication...
  15. Type of vinyl for temporary prices on vehicles

    If it is yellow, you can use the Avery vinyl mask. Removable adhesive. No mess. Comes in 48" roll. I use it for painting.
  16. HP L25500 Laminating Problems

    I ran a 15 ft. print on 3M IJ35 and a 10 ft. print on some Oracal 3640M with my L25500. Laminated both with Oracal 215G and kiss cut through the plotter. No problems on either one. Did not adjust any heat settings whatsoever. I used an Oracal profile for both. Maybe too much drag on your...
  17. Contour cut pricing

    Oh, if it's a small cut, I print on clear and do a contour cut - or figure some kind of two color print and contour cut. Even on an Edge print. I don't do much small stuff anymore, but I used to. Good point on the script/crazy serif fonts.
  18. Contour cut pricing

    I do it by the square foot. Just factor in what material you are using and the time. For me, it's usually and extra $1.50 per sq.ft.
  19. Flexi10 HP Drivers

    I recently bought Onyx 10 and it had the drivers on the disk. No separate purchase. I also purchased the HP L25500. I got the software in first and installed it along with the drivers to the HP and my JV3 without problem. When the printer came in, it was just plug and play.
  20. Sign Shop Recycling by the numbers (real evidence it's worth it)

    Get this - In Houston. I have city trash service. The city provides residents with recycle bins but will not give me one (a business). The business next to mine is electrician services, but since he operates out of a house, he gets one (a recycle bin) and is able to avoid commercial fees. My...
