    Just when ya thought no one loved you............
  5. Question How to make a sale?

    Any of these suggestions so far will help, but after looking at your profile, I have a really serious question for you......... what can you do and can you do it well ?? Having all the toys and whatnot, doesn't make a signshop. Those are the tools. Take a long hard look at yourself and your...
  6. Hi There :)

    Welcome to the halls of signmaking. You'll find lotsa helpful knowledge and some.... well pitiful help. Learn to try and distinguish between the two, before going off on a wild goose chase. Do ya have a laminator as well ?? Merry Christmas to you and yours...........................
  7. DOTS ON THE SOLID COLORS

    Are you using the correct profile for the media you're using ??
  8. DOTS ON THE SOLID COLORS

    Just looks like p!ss-poor files. How much did you hafta blow it up ?? The black is about the only solid color I see and it doesn't look all that bad.
  9. Slow cutting of Tapered Stickers

    It might just have a hard time thinking about going straight, but gradually moving inward/outward. Ever notice how some letters will cut like crazy, then all of a sudden your plotter slows down and does some big curve ?? Kinda the same thing, I guess.
  10. Oracal 5600 Reflective Vinyl failure

    In the last few months, we've lettered quite a few with 5600 and have gone through a lot since this past Spring. No problems on any of them, both solid colors or printable. One just left this morning. We do tend to hit it all with a torch, especially as the weather gets colder, but our truck...
  11. Question Best shop temperature?

    Yes, that's too cold for a working environment, let alone a print shop. Not to mention, that most likely creates a problem for your printers trying to keep things at a certain temperature for printing. You're adding more stress to your machines. They're probably not performing properly.
  12. Winter installations

    Yeah, but tex, you oughta wrap it a different color. Dewalt is getting all the credit for that unit. Make it green and call it a john deere.....................
  13. Everyday Vinyl

    I got quoted last week to fix something on my truck..... I gasped for air. A little screech came out and the guy on the other end said, yeah, I know.
  14. Flatbed cutter users - how do you estimate time?

    Don't have a CNC, but I would imagine it would be like any other tedious project. Take some time and write down every possible need on your cutter and itemize it. Put them into categories, under subtitles and whatever else ya need t do to keep things accurate. If you have 500 cards with 4...
  15. Whats a good starter vinyl media printer?

    Oh yeah, and don't forget....... you'll need a laminator and the real estate to house that, too.
  16. Whats a good starter vinyl media printer?

    Sub it out and do your homework. No one can tell you what to buy. Most of the people here are speaking from an emotional standpoint or what they got used to using. Sales people generally tell ya the ones they make the best commissions on. As you sub the stuff out, ask your vendor what...
  17. Everyday Vinyl

    For a product which will bring in several thousand dollars for so little outlay, how cheap do you really need to go ?? Perhaps you should cut back on some other items ?? Cost of gas has gone up. Have you tried using something else in your gas tank, lately ?? It's a part of doing business...
  18. Need Advice: IJ35C + Lam Decals Peeling from Painted Drywall

    It seems very obvious you used the wrong material for the job. Trying to polish a turd isn't going to help you or your client. You'll need to take that off and do it with the correct vinyl and lam designed for a textured wall, inside and what kind of paint was used ?? Not knowing this ahead...
  19. What should I do?

    Is this, As the Stomach Churns or some other soap show ??
