+2 agree here too... I've had zero internal HD failures in 14 years, but I've went through 8 or 9 external HD's or NAS drives... incl Western Digital, SimpleTech, and Maxtor... I always had duplicate drives, so in all 8 or 9 failures, i didn't lose data... but I lost a lot of time buying...

bumping for more feedback (I hope)... ...and to comment that I don't personally agree with the concept of the need for premium topics all the time. On pricing, I can understand it... but on asking for helpful tips.. I can't really see why this should matter... there are more people here if I...

I had a similar encounter this year, and the charge back was for $400 deposit.. and the bit*h had a lawyer for a husband... but I disputed the charge back, and I won! never had to make the sign for the bit*h either (but of course i never got the second $400)

this is an interesting thread. I started a thread a few weeks back about a logo design job I took in. In mine, I assembled text, with purchased fonts somewhat tweaked, a stock panel from "Vector Art", and some of my own design efforts at combining, customizing and coloring them. In the end, it...

so, I was rushing when I posted, but I am interested in selling the client on the possibility of raised letters. If the granite is about 4' x 6', and the layout is not a lot of copy or graphics, what do others think about shallow gilded blasting, vs. gilding a nice 1" thick letter? What...

so, ok to give a buck or two.. but look what can happen if you give a whole TV set :omg:

lots of good info here, thanks!

I've put off posting this for days because I've been busy, and now I'm going to rush this post up because my employee will be here in 10 minutes... but I need to quote a job that involves some tasks I've not yet done. The granite has been picked out, still sits on the property of the stone...

umm.. yeah, but how many out of 5?

can't beat the edge for this.... and there really isn't even much of a second place either... get an edge! (mine runs at least 3-1/2 to 4 days a week for the last 10 years)

I would tell the client that in all your vast experience (you can use "our" experience as yours for this purpose) that the best solution to this typography design challenge has always been to establish a one size fits all solution for 90-some percent of the various messages... and that a...

man... this one got me double... I guess I skimmed it & when I hit the 30 second part I skipped a quick re-read like i would do for things I skim through... so, I just decided a gorilla would take down the whole tree in no time (assuming this was coconuts we were after, due to skimming...

Are you running these "printed images" yourself? Using the Flexi 8.6? If not, who is printing this work? on what printer? what software are they using? What style registration marks are they printing? Is the Flexi 8.6 you speak of "Flexi Sign Pro?" I'm not sure if the "8.6" version would...

well, maybe your friends heaters were off, or the prints were on some foreign media... my UNLAMINATED JV3 prints show no sign of degradation AT ALL after 1 year... IN TROPICAL SUN!! a mutoh is never going to outlast a full solvent Mimaki print... what a preposterous claim the likes of which I...

darkdude, thanks for the message! First, I didn't assume you don't have a job, I assumed you don't have a sign job! I said perhaps you could learn this trade by working for a sign company. That makes a lot more sense then buying equipment & hoping to become a professional in a trade you have...

THERE'S A CLASSIFIED SECTION IF YOU DECIDE TO SELL YOUR EQUIPMENT AND GET A JOB... maybe you could learn all this stuff on a job anyway... getting paid to learn: cool.. entering the marketplace as a professional after you've already learned what you are doing: cool

I'm actually single... the divorce is almost final:thumb:

what can HE do? he can do whatever HE wants, and it sounds like he already made a decision... what can YOU do? ...well, if it's that small of an order.. send him the order & say Merry Christmas! ...that way if you get the $ ... (I mean this is the busiest time of year at the post office)...
