    Thank you!
  2. Needing a Font ID please.

    Don't have quite this one. I have wider, and taller, but not this exact.
  3. What's going on over at Advantage?

    I don't know if anyone's brought this up, so if it has been, I apologize. Anyone know what's up at Advantage? We've been with them since about 1995, and never bought from anyone else through those years. They've always been great to us, great service, great pricing, etc. I found out about a...
  4. I'm not sure how to handle this....how would you?

    Might not hurt to call the other company. I have a lot of "chatter" with the other places near me about certain customers and how they handled situations, and then know going into them how to handle them, or to avoid them at all costs. We normally do what player does. I don't always get a...
  5. New $46,000 logo for the State of Tennessee

    Periodic Table. I cringed soon as I saw it, because me and the periodic table didn't get along in high school.
  6. Mimaki ends relationship with Grimco

    I've been running Triangle JVV in my Mimaki JV33 right out of the gate. We ran the OEM's to make sure the machine was setup properly, and when those were out, I ran Triangle. I bought it from Advantage, and they weren't bordeaux dealers, and I was pretty loyal to them at the time, so I went...
  7. Diving In - Need some Wrapping Pointers

    In my opinion, sub it out, and spend a couple grand getting proper schooling at a wrap school. We never got big into wraps, and we already owned the printer before I investigated all of this, but even now, I sub out the print, because that gives me time to do other stuff. If you have a way to...
  8. Just gotta rant...

    Glad to see I'm not the only one dealing with these people, and them making me furious. We put out some nice stuff, and even though we kind of stick to those kinds of signs that anyone can do...we do them better, and we normally end up upselling...so I think that's what keeps us going with the...
  9. Just gotta rant...

    Had a guy call the other day and wanted a quote on (20) 18" X 24" signs. Sure, no problem. He was all chatty trying to be my BFF and wouldn't just talk about what he wanted. Eventually when we got to it, I could tell by the conversation thus far, and his want for "just as basic as possibly...
  10. Frustrated with 4Over

    I dumped 4Over YEARS ago for stuff like this. They drove me nuts by never shipping when they said they would. I'm with Kwik, I don't really even do them anymore because it's not worth my time.
  11. Bordeaux Inks?

    I ran Bordeaux in my JV3 for probably 6 years, then when I got a JV33 a couple years ago, I ran Triangle right out of the gate. I like the Bordeaux better as far as color, profiles, and stink, but the Triangle has been fine too. I've never lost a head and haven't had OEM inks in 8 years...
  12. Legality and etiquette question

    You gotta make your own layouts, or pay a designer to do them. When I was ready to set up my showroom, just paid someone to make sure it was done right, and would upsell itself. Best move I ever made. If you are a good designer, make some stuff and get it on the site, if you aren't good, sub...
  13. Cartridge recycling?

    I did the staples thing, but you have to buy other inks from them once a month in order to be able to redeem the points, and I don't buy ink from them, so there was no point to it. I just toss them now.
  14. bad customer vent.

    I've had situations like this. Real simple door job. The guy shows up with truck 1 of 3. We do that truck that day, he pays the bill that we'd discussed, then he drops off the other two trucks the next day, we do those, give him the bill and he says "what's this?" I said "this is the cost of...
  15. Orajet cal getting out of hand $$$

    I'm paying $206/roll for 54" 3651, and that's delivered. I don't use Oracal laminate, so I can't chime in on that. Canadian, that should be about $258. I'd just shop around, you should be able to do better.
  16. Looking to produce RC car wraps...suggestions?

    If you have 365 print it, you can have it normally in a day or so, and it'd only be $20. Just sayin, if the turnaround time is the issue, that would solve it.
  17. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    Send it to the Sign Amigo and let him put his spin on it...that'll bring it up.
  18. Bucket List?

    Guided ATV trip in Alaska in the summer. Looks so awesome up there.
  19. OEM 3rd party inks for MIMAKI JV5 - 160

    I'm running JVV Triangle's in my JV33 and love them. I think I'm paying like $62 a cartridge. I ran Bordeaux in my JV3 for years and liked those too. It's been a bit of a curve to get all my colors dialed in right with the triangle, but they seem to hold up just as well.
  20. B!tch and Gripe Session........................................... ....

    I have a customer that orders postcards on a fairly regular basis. They normally expect me to make little tiny changes 10X for each project, and normally they've gotten a pretty good deal from me. The last time they must not have liked the design costs because they designed their own this time...
