if this is a production employee that we are talking about..the simple reality is that production employees MUST generate a profit. There are two types of employees; money makers and money takers..if you are the later, watch out because your time is limited. there are positions that it is...

I have had this discussion with multiple sign companies this last week...my advice is to hire the best employees that you can afford. I have seen this odd patern where business owners hire ppl who have skills that are weaker than their own. When questioned on this & getting through the initial...

i would put an ad up or at least spread the word at your local sign supply companies.

wonderful...the time goes SO fast..it seems like just the other day my daughter entered my life..now she controls it! Congrats, children are incredible.

is there a date set? i just read the post and saw many different dates 'suggested'...

when i sold supplies you wouldn't believe how many ppl were developing and cleaning screens in their kitchen sinks or bathtubs... and then there are the guys who take them to the coin-op car wash at night...

OK Who's going? I will be there for some negotiations. If there is enough of us or any interest we could arrange a reception or whatever. Anyone going to any of the receptions? Awards? etc...pm me let me know.

I have a system that I implemented in my own shop with 30+ employees and have put into practice at multiple other sign companies. Personally I found a dry erase didnt work well for me but many clients have added it to the system. I have described it a few times on S101 but in short...I...

i;m not sure i understand the question you are trying to ask. your plotter is friction fed so you can run scrap through it.

after reading your other post i would encourage you to attend sgia it's in new orleans next month, i just checked the vendor list and there is multiple screenprint equipment manufacturers registered. you can see all of the latest and greatest and the salesman can talk you into everything our...

i would suggest starting REALLY simple. create a rectangle that is obviously longer than it is tall like a 2"X8" send it to your plotter. then rotate it and send it to your plotter. then you will know the orientation x and y axis of your plotter...don't worry i already know it...i'm just...

in a couple years i hope you come back and re-read this post. are you SURE that you understand vector images? what is the source of the vector images you are trying to cut, if your lettering and shapes are 'cutting' or at least controlling the plotter something is most likely wrong with the...

you can or at least you used to b able to cut direct from corel alternatively & easier you can use a bridge like cocut which used to have a free trial as well.

having flashbacks...i spent 4 months on the road travelling from one station to another through 4 states changing out the branding of one chain of gas stations to the branding of the company that bought them out, huge color change from the overhead canopy having to be changed, to every door and...

that is my same thought insignia if you are going to retrofit, it might be cheaper to retrofit for flexface.

i am not sure about your model. but test cuts are an internal function on many plotters. my $ is still on a communication or setup error / operator error. in corel create a small square or circle>>convert to curves>>print preview>>select your plotter and IF everything is setup correctly and...

you do NOT need to tape your design to the vinyl. you either have a communication or setup problem. that would be much easier to figure out if i was in front of the equipment. you can send direct from corel. make sure your text is converted to curves, this is a common error for new...

do we have a merchant member who does cnc router and laser work? or anyone in the community who does wholesale work? if so please shoot me a pm. thanks, d.

we don't know what software you are using but tracing a bitmap usually comes down to using the bezier tool and some time, even if you trace the image some 'tweaking' is usually necessary, depending on the level of quality you need for the project/customer. for common items like this they can...

anyone who does ada signs will be able to duplicate these for you...i've made thousands of them in the past for retirement homes ( so that they can cheaply change out the names when 'residents' ... 'move on') it is just non-glare acrylic that is backpainted (usually with lacryl) that is adhered...
