  1. images have been printing bad

    if the orgin of the problem isnt obvious i always start with the simple. the first thing i would do is pull up an old file that you have printed and were happy with the results and reprint.
  2. Alright! fresh brains to pic!

    unfortunately it is my opinion that you should identify a need, a niche, or an opportunity and then buy the equipment that will allow you to exploit it versus buying equipment and then looking for ideas to make a profit. build your design skills that will set you apart from the thousands of...
  3. Powder actuated nail gun...

    faster is not always better. use the right tool/hardware/method for the application. there is no single answer, everything we all do is custom and varies by the project.
  4. Anybody seen Mosh?

    what a winner. don't be a mosh
  5. Stay or Leave?......Very Undecided.

    the things that jump out at me about the original post. a single dollar difference between an apprentice and a journeyman... your primary position being in the art department with your spelling and grammar. this isn't meant as a 'dig' but grammar and spelling are extremely important in our...
  6. Sergio no longer with AZ Color?

    the late great Chester Cunningham's career was before my time as well. i simply had mentors that pressed the value of knowing the history of the craft i was eager to learn. the majority of new comers to our trade have no idea of the history of our trade and sadly they have no desire to know...
  7. Sergio no longer with AZ Color?

    sad that the majority of our trade has no idea who Chester Cunningham was.
  8. Things we do for our kids ...

    our joke around here when we 'talk' for my daughter because her vocab is still somewhat limited at 22/23 months...but everything she owns is pink (including a pink wagon as well). so we jokingly say for her... "thanks, but i HATE pink"
  9. Sergio no longer with AZ Color?

    what the hell are you talking about ? sounds like crying and whining to you...bs. frankly i am amazed at the professionalism AZcolor has shown in dealing with this matter.
  10. What happens to all the repossessed printing equipment?

    there are deals to be had...but most of the time they are not deals if you can not do the repairs due to neglect yourself. the majority of the equipment that i see is either repo OR unpopular equipment that ppl couldnt wait to get out of their shop and move onto something new. i was...
  11. Sergio no longer with AZ Color?

    i am glad to see you speak up. it is time ppl see the reality.
  12. Business Cards

    although i am certain he meant Mike Stevens, there is actually a living legend in our craft named Mike Jackson...if you are unfamiliar with his work, articles or amazing clipart collections he is definitely worth researching...
  13. graphic kit

    very straight forward shouldnt cost you more than an hour and half or someone's shop minimum
  14. graphic kit

    i have yet to find a design that can not be recreated..the questions are...is it legal? is the client willing to pay what it will cost?
  15. laminator

    my concern is not brand a or brand b...the fact is he has what he has and he shouldnt be struggling and losing money the way that he is, so instead of telling him to dump his machine (which is capable of doing what he needs it to do with some dialing in and a little training) my suggestion is we...
  16. Frosted or Etched vinyl!!!

    i avoid the ones with glitter as it looks cheap in my opinion..if the customer has got to have it i'll do it but i try to point them in the other direction. install wet.
  17. Mayhew sign AGAIN

    i dont buy the story for a moment. i think you whipped this up looking to stir up more of your nonsense. this isnt something someone without sign design software would come up with . this is a signmaker trolling for more of what you are known for. but what do you care? you arent in the...
  18. laminator

    cmax my money is on operator error. you need to get someone on site that has hands on experience with your machine and have them dial it in for you and do some private lessons, this is not normal operations that you are describing. if you do not know anyone in your area that can help you out...
