  1. Removing frozen signposts

    I was doing ok until it froze up. Now I can't get out a couple posts and am worried about pounding them back in with the ground frozen. How do you get them out and in? 10' posts
  2. Tips on getting more hits?

    Slow season here but I was wondering if anyone has any tips on getting more hits on their website. (?) Here's ours: http://bayviewsignworks.com Pretty basic I know but I do have keywords etc. in the coding (I think). We do just about everything except make big foundation type signage. We're...
  3. Signpost puller?

    Great - and thanks everyone. Yeah I'd love to use a tractor. Thinking about welding a chain to the end of a 2" x 2" tube and then use a fulcrum to lever them out. Not sure if that would be cheaper than buying one. When ground is frozen they're going to come out hard.
  4. Signpost puller?

    Looks like you have plenty of time on your hands but how about a serious reply?
  5. Signpost puller?

    We've been doing a lot of real estate signs but I have a heck of a time getting the posts out of the ground. Anyone have a good rig, made one, etc. that works well?
  6. Connecting VP-300 to Apple Time Capsule - HELP!

    Fix: Connect to Apple Time Capsule, go to System Preferences/Network, copy IP-Subnet Mask and Router settings. Launch VersaWorks (Parallels/Windows XP), In VW go to Printer Settings and punch in new settings. Also, open VP-300 menu and input IP, gate way etc there as well
  7. Connecting VP-300 to Apple Time Capsule - HELP!

    I was having issues with my Linsys router and I just purchased an Apple Time Capsule (ie: Air Port Extreme). All went well untill I launched VersaWorks (via Parallels) and it said "Not connected" in Printer Status. Can anyone hlep me with that?
  8. Fear of falling: safety on ladders?

    Fear of falling... Yes but most of the time our space is limited and we're constantly moving them. Do you happen to have a picture of what you use? Do you use a harness?
  9. Fear of falling: safety on ladders?

    We're lettering 53 trailers and have been using two ladders with a plank on the steps. We get higher than 6' and it is dangerous. What does everyone do to be OSHA and common sense compliant? I'm going get a couple harnesses but I still wonder what everyone else is doing.
  10. 4x4 posts

    2 feet deep the norm? Looking at cedar and or PT but PT looks cheap. Cedar isn't cheap is there a happy medium? I'd be using angle iron to support a 1/4 inch alumalite sign between two 4x4s - have any other more attractive idea? I hate that I have to see the angle irons.
  11. Wanted: VP-300 front cover

    The cover around the controls, not the clear one. I goofed and spilled some of the head cleaner on it.

    I want to get you in touch with my wife. She and I run Bayview Signworks in South Portland, Maine. I should say she runs it, I was let go from my previous ad agency job about a year ago and have been at her beck and call since. Looks like you're about the same age too (she's 41)...
  13. Versa Works Contour Cut is Driving Me Crazy!

    In the Stroke pallett make sure Align is set to "Center".
  14. VersaWorks-VP-300 CutContour not cutting the whole shape

    I make the CutContour and it comes in but sometimes I isn't showing (and consequently not cutting) the whole shape. I don't see all the marching ants around the whole shape. I've put lines in the corners to make sure it reads them but I don't want to have to do that all the time.?? Using...
  15. Versacamm and a Mac?

    Versacamm and a Mac! I've used Parallels/XPxsp3/VersaWorks for about a year now. The only problem I have is my ethernet port does not work on my Mac so I'm forced to use wireless - which works great for everything except large files. I have a new Mac now though and have XP loaded - what are...
  16. Printing on transluscent vinyl?

    Transluscent vinyl VersWorks, used Desity Control and that made it much darker. And thanks for the posts. a
  17. Printing on transluscent vinyl?

    We have several Lexan signs in the works. I know the colors can looked washed out when they finally are installed and the light is shining through them. Is there any advice on how dark to go to make it look clean and not washed out?
  18. Tape question

    Clear, for dig vinyl or Both? We mainly just use clear for registering vinyl etc.??
  19. Tape question

    Thanks guys, we'll order a roll and see how it goes. Also, I didn't say before but on digital graphics when we roll up after taping it tends to buckle or wave and make it hard to apply. Is there a better tape for inkjet digital vinyl w/lam (Oracal 3551 RA and Oracal lam)?
  20. Tape question

    What does everyone use as far as tape? We use PerfecTear main tape and it tends to curl a lot. We don't control the humidity so that could be a factor but is there "good stuff" and "not so good stuff'?
