  1. A sign to ponder?

    No they are not. Japan buys sources an equal percentage of components in China, and throughout Asia. Here are some thoughts and facts to ponder.... - The US is still considered number one for research and development. - Even though a great deal of electrical components originate in Taiwan and...
  2. So, who's gonna be the guinea pig...

    Pat - It is already here! There are companies that are selling digital prints, LED channels, etc. - and the prices are untouchable.
  3. Not ready for the deep end,just the kiddie pool for now.

    The quickest easiest book for Corel is: Sams Teach Yourself CorelDRAW (version #) in 24 Hours (Paperback) If you have a legitimate and registered version of SignLab, you can utilize their forum and videos at www.cadlink.com There is a real difference between Corel and SignLab, although the...
  4. Networking woes

    That is fine, and can certainly appreciate that, BUT it is a false assumption to think that that all of the "internals" are the equivalent of the quality commercial routers. Been there - done that. In short, the wireless capable routers have difficulty when under extreme network traffic. We...
  5. Networking woes

    Chris, Wireless routers have a long way to go. Dropping the network is not out of the ordinary, and running your printer.RIP through one will cause nothing but heartache. I will not get into all that we have experienced (too long), so I will ask you to just trust me on the advice. Add an...
  6. From Corel 9 to Corel 12

    Jill, For the controls that you are looking for... Windows Menu >>> Dockers (select the dockers that you want) When exporting jpegs, we usually drop the percentage to 10% for images that will ne viewed via email (not printing). For exported file sizes - Corel has a size limitation, and really...
  7. Leasing?

    It is obvious that you have the enthusiasm, and I do not think anybody will question that. It is also obvious that you are serious. What is not clear is if you truly have a clear understanding of the trade. This is not meant to discourage you by any means. You admit that you have never worked...
  8. Router software

    Let me just say that Digital Factory is the cat's meow. If you want good and accurate color, with zero banding, it (their latest version) is definitely worth looking into. Your are right about v5. e6 seemed to buggy, but 7.1 took care of a lot of that, even though I still miss v5. I spoke with...
  9. Router software

    We too had the same issue with Cadlink. All that has changed, and drastically. I have been told that at that time Cadlink did not have true customer CS reps - which they do now. I can and will personally assure you (or anybody) that Cadlink IS very responsive and caring of their end-user...
  10. What would you charge for these yard signs?

    Charity/Community involvement can only go three ways with us. 1. We get our price. 2. We donate. 3. Or we do not do at all. No way we can support every charity organization in the area. We have a select few that we do things for...with the understanding that we are not a charity organization...
  11. What would you charge for these yard signs?

    That is a false assumption that many believe. Far too many people place too much emphasis on the cost of their raw materials. People need ot ask why it is that McDonalds will sell a hamburger for less than a buck, while Bennigans (and a slew of others) can get between $8 and $10....without any...
  12. Router software

    Actually it is PofileLab. There is a 2D and a 3D version, both offer one hell of a bang for the buck.
  13. Cutting through the backing paper

    On a very rare occasion, it is possible to experience a file corruption (even though it looks fine on-screen). When you re-create a file, due to a file corruption, you must do so from scratch. ANY, and I do mean "any" element from a corrupted file can transfer the same corruption to the new...
  14. Cutting through the backing paper

    Lor, Are you cutting the liner throughout the complete plot OR is it more towards the left edge (looking from the front of the machine). what I am getting is that the strip may be worn, even if you have not scored it. Simple check by rubbing your fingers, front to back, all the way across the...
  15. whoo whooo! went mtec liquid cooled.

    Congrats for a job well done! No question that you could push the CPU farther, but I cannot say how far you will push the FSB (already impressive). What did that cooler set you back?
  16. What would you charge for these yard signs?

    Here is something everybody should ponder..... I once read a study (no, I no longer have it) that stated if every mechanic in the US simultaneously went on strike, the US economy would come to a screeching halt in three weeks By the same token, without signs we would have nothing but mass...
  17. What would you charge for these yard signs?

    Maybe, maybe not. :Big Laugh What I do know is that I just sold a simple 36x24 for $125. There are Cadillacs and there were Yugos, and nobody has anything good to say about a Yugo. When lawyers and doctors gets rate in excess of $300 plus per hour, I consider our industry's rates and...
  18. What would you charge for these yard signs?

    24x18, double-sided, one color $45 ea., using pre-cut blanks. $2 per step stake. 36x24, double-sided, one-color $85 ea., stakes will vary. Points: 1) 36x24 would require in-house cutting, thus cutting charge is factored in. 2) Would never recommend any type of wire stake for 36x24 due to wind...
  19. Does Mamaki Print Greys?

    Mimaki builds a quality machine that lasts and prints great.
  20. Not really hardware? More like a tool.

    Let's rephrase...it's a "man's machine!". Only a man can find beauty in something like that, while the women think we are just nuts, and off our rockers. :Big Laugh
