One concern I have about this is whats causing hte boot problem. The symptoms you describe sound very much like the virus/malware problems I'm having. So, before you go replacing drives, make sure your PC is not infected. One other note, the techs I normally deal with (who are closed until...

Hiya People, I've got a doozie of a computer problem and I think it's a virus or spyware, but I'm not sure what the heck is going on. It all basically started after I did a round of updates from Micro$oft About a day or 2 after I did the "windows update" I noticed that my AVG antivirus...

I would recommend that you only use HP cast vinyl on latex. Also, as the others mentioned, satin or a higher gloss finish makes a huge difference too. One question though. If you're going to go through all the trouble of painting, why don't you just cut a mask and paint the letters? It's not...

Start googling, I'm sure they're available somewhere. The Federal website is... www.OSHA.gov State is probably... http://www.stateofflorida.com/Portal/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=10 Checkers

In addition to Bill's comments, they also made a 20" that would cut about 18". The only bad thing about an odd size plotter like this is getting material for it. I could only get 20" x 50yd rolls or be stuck using 15" material. When I was in a pinch or working with an unusual color, I would buy...

If I remember correctly, the sprint is mostly metal and the magnet will want to stick to the case. So, you'll need to make some sort of slip-sheet to keep the mag from sticking. Coroplast or posterboard should work. The other issue is the sprint is a sprocket fed machine and you'll either need...

It's still a workhorse, but not much value any more with all the cheaper new plotters available. Personally, I would hold on to it if I couldn't get $2,000 for it. I recall seeing some going for a lower price though. Checkers

Yes, business has slowed and I still gotta eat. So, there's no better time to promote your business. My prices have kept up with inflation and supplier price increases (gotta love estimating software). However, I am promoting a 15% discount through my website on all orders. I am debating on...

Well, put on your helmet and crash pads and buckle up because you’re going to be in for one heck of a ride! The reasons are many and if you were to ask a business owner why he started his company, nearly every owner has a unique answer. When I pose this question to many of the people I...

I couldn't imagine running a wide format printer without a take-up reel. If your computer has enough memory, ram, etc, rip and let it run. One note though, just don't attempt to print more than what's on the roll :) Checkers

Don't forget that there can be 3 ways you reap the rewards of your business, reimbursed expenses, payroll and dividends. If you're working with a good CPA, he'll be able to make the right recommendations on how to reduce your tax liability. For example, In a S-Corp, you draw a paycheck and you...

WOW, 39 pages worth! Thanks Eric! Checkers

S-Corp here too. It's a proven business structure with many years of rulings/opinions in the courts. LLC is relatively new and really hasn't been tested - yet. Unless you're a large corp with many stockholders, a C-Corp is bad, you'll get taxed on your income twice. Partnerships are bad too. As...

Yes, cheap insurance for sure! I like that this model does line conditioning too, which will help reduce problems in some areas. I've had many issues with electronics here and the conditioner seems to have reduced or eliminate those problems. Checkers

It depends on the printer, but 1/2" gutter is about average. Checkers

Use the search option, this has been discussed many times with some great answers. Checkers

Man, you might as well close your shop, get a job and start sending all of us here your paycheck because this is a recipe for failure. Material mark ups are necessary to maintain a profitable business! Anyway, there are many ways you can go about this, the easiest way would be to subcontract...

Don't forget that cheaper isn't always better and you'll probably get what you pay for. In the past, I've used a Neolt Strong Trim. Although it had some issues with it, it was a good rotary cutter once I got it working right. Another place you may want to check is graphic Resource Systems...

Every program has its flaws, but never had a problem making money with it. I've never had "bad" software either. From my experience, it can be a loose nut behind the controls, but most software problems result from cheap computers and components, an under-powered or over-taxed system, or...
