    Hiya Emily, I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for. Are you looking for someone to install signs nationwide? Or are you looking for a tool that will make post hole installations easier? Checkers
  2. software

    Where's howard when you need him :) From what I quickly glanced at the graphtec website, you can control the pressure of the pen/blade to accomodate both cutting and creasing. So, I would guess that it would really depend on the drivers, which are available here...
  3. Font help please,,thank you!!!

    A shoot from the hip would be Clarendon, modified in one form or another. Checkers
  4. I have a Dell. Please stop laughing.

    To overly simplify the process, a computer is a tool that you use to make money. When it is not working, you are loosing money. So, you need to buy from someone who will get you back up and running as soon as possible, if and when the system fails. I haven't found anyone local that can do that...

  6. Flexi on a Local Network

    I honestly don't know the real answer becasue I don't have a copy of the full license agreement. But, from Steve's original comment you should be ok as long as you follow the terms of the agreement and don't try to run the software on more than one computer at a time. Issues can arise when you...
  7. Flexi on a Local Network

    Hey Gang, Just an F.Y.I. since a lot of you are new here... What you're talking about, in this public forum that is read by sing makers and sign software publishers, is software piracy and against the law. If you read the terms of your license agreements, most, if not all, of them state that...
  8. What software to start whit?

    To expand on what Chris said, it's user preference and what you know well enogh to start making money with. I've used many of them too, but I'm starting my own business with Corel because I know it well and I get a lot of bang for the buck. As my business grows, I will be looking at both gerber...
  9. Check This out

    Yep, awesome machine that can produce portrait quality images on a few types of media, but it's only good for indoor or very short term outdoor. I wouldn't even give it a year outdoors. For most sign and graphics work, it can be overkill in terms of the quality of print. Havin' fun, Checkers

  11. software question onyx/roland

    Congratulations Eye! I can share in your excitement, I'm in the same boat. The class was one of the travelling shows and I attended the one hosted in Washington D.C. I want to say the trainers name was Dave(?) A big guy with blonde/light brown hair and if I remember correctly, he wore glasses. I...
  12. software question onyx/roland

    I don't recall the instructors name, but the company is Graphic Intelligence Agency, http://graphintel.com/ . Check out their training schedule to see when they'll be in your area. The class I took was color management training that was geared towards Adobe software and HP aqueous inkjet...
  13. software question onyx/roland

    Hiya OTP, Did you check out printingdigital.net yet? They have profiles that you can download. Also, you can, sometimes, get iaccurate color by using a profile from a similar printer/media combination. But, I would also suggest option 3 too. It's money well spent. A couple of years ago the...

  16. Printer question

    Hiya Matt, I may be too late, but I'll answer you questions anyway. It's an OK starter printer, if you know nothing about wide format. It probably will teach you that can go wrong with a printer with a relatively low start up costs. Also, unless you know a little about profiling expect to spend...
  17. Just playing with avatar

    Hey, that's not a bad idea guys. When I get things going well, I can decorate the place to look like an old fashioned soda jerk or diner. I really like the fun feeling that you get when you walk into thos places. However, I guess it's probably not that great if it doesn't want to make you buy a...

    Not yet Doug, I'll find out in a few days. I just submitted an application to a special unemployment program that may help me get things going. If I get accepted into the program, I can still collect UC benefits and start/run the business at the same time. The program also offers 69 hours...
