Welcome from Grand Rapids! Love the Oberon boards.... W where playing with wrapping some boards and thought about doing my own just never got around to it. Would like to do more but it is hard to do cost effectively after design, print etc... Ypu got yourself a good plotter in a Graphtec. It...

My background is originally in design. After I got done with school I picked up a job working at a sign/airbrush shop and learned the vinyl trade etc... That was 11 years ago. Once I started working with vehicle graphics and wraps I was hooked. It is what I love to do. I also like messing with...

Well, I can learn to fix my car because I know how to use a ratchet but I would rather go ahead and let the mechanic do it right? Is that better? It is actually a great analogy, either you know how to do it or you don't. Go back to GoDaddy website in a day and "design" them till your eyeballs...

I could learn to build a house but you can sure as hell bet I am going to hire someone who is qualified to do it. Dan isn't discounting your work or the work of an "average" guy. He is making a great point, yes and no. If you hodgepodge a website together it isn't going to do anything but make...

+1, I agree totally. Thanks, kurt

Hey all, Just curious, how many of you are just designers? By that I mean you either design for other shops, customers etc and farm out all of your print work or production? Does it work for you? Is it as good as it was 5 years ago? Is anything? lol Been tossing around the idea of just...

Well took it to my tech this morning and he was able to recover the files. He is setting up a drive with everything on it thanks god! Thank god I also did a major backup last week so 98% of files where good. Either way I think I am heading to the Apple store for a new rig and Time Machine...

Thanks everyone for the input. Going to pickup an enclosure tomorrow and give it a shot, don't have much to lose at this point, I guess I might end up with another portable hard drive out of the deal, which is cool! Thanks, Kurt

Malkin, sounds simple enough but I am not a super techy...lol How might I go about this? Thanks, Kurt

My trusty G5 died today. It hangs on startup and I cannot get it to boot as a Target disc. I have a couple of files I need to get off of it in the worst way. Did a recent backup but lost a file for a trailer wrap today as it died while I was prepping it. Any specialists out there have any ideas...

lol. I figured the are making their rounds. What a bunch of scumbags! Thanks, Kurt

"Am Sherry Smith i`ll be needing your help my uncle just bought 2006 Toyota Camry and Cadillac escalade in MI for me and my wife though i live here in the states, but my wife is presently in the hospital `cause she had accident last week and i want signage down on both cars that's is why am...

Look in the classified on this site, I think a member has a couple of JV33 printers near Detroit for sale for a very good price. Thanks, Kurt

It is a wonderful place! Next time you are up in the area drive up the Leelanau peninsula if you haven't yet. Hit up Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, Leland.... Some great wineries and restaurants and beautiful sights... If Michigan wasn't such an economic joke right now it is a great state to move to...

Colorburst is what I was thinking.... Sorry about the confusion. I am downloading a trial of Shiraz right now as well, heard that is ok to use. I would stick with the PC just for ripping but everything else we have is APPLE and it just is a pain to have to upgrade all of the different software...

lol... While I am a MAC user, this is still funny and partly true... Thanks, Kurt

I know this has been brought up but I couldn't find much in a search. Anyone ripping on a MAC and if so which RIP software have you had the most luck with? We are finally getting rid of our last tow PC's left in the shop and moving our rip stations over to Apple as well. Just sick of all of the...

lol... This is the Jocie "Bin Laden" portrait... You always have to have a camera around with these critters, they are always up to something! Thanks, Kurt

Yes, you don't want either one of those. No offense but in terms of readability and creativity they lack. You are trying to sell a creative service to your clients so you should really put some research into what you want your logo to tell your potential clients. This one scream "I just bought...
