  1. Are you voting?

    I don't care if you vote or not (I voted early, and Mosh I'll tell you where you can shove your vote on Tuesday if you seem to think that everyone who does that is some sort of inferior person doing that) but you sure as heck better not whine about anything political if you didn't vote, rather...
  2. New Series of Gold Rush

    Yea, he knew a guy who invested in stuff like this, and they got a big boardroom full of guys and presented it to them. Apparently they bit on it.
  3. Powder Coating

    Looks like Edna has the facts. That's all you need.
  4. Dealing with a dry spell...

    Nothing ticks me off more than cold calls or someone stopping in wanting to sell me something so I don't do those. If it's a current customer I may check in with them, but never a cold call. I'd do a cold postcard or email, but that's it. Beyond that, you are wasting someone's time that may...
  5. Problem Customer (You can almost see it coming!)

    Seems like we've all been there and that's always the case with a new client rush job. I'm starting to think that I only get new customers sometimes because the old sign shop fired them and that's why they're in a hurry. When they come in talking total crap about the other guy in town, it's...
  6. Walmart Tire and Lube center sucks!

    I've heard of people that had the oil plug fall out, never replace the filter, cross threaded lug nuts, the whole deal. Walmart is get what you pay for. Ever bought groceries there? You'll see why the prices are so low. Take it to someone who has a reputation to not suck...walmart is not...
  7. JV33 won't print solid colors

    Maybe I'll jack that number up as high as it will go and see how it does. Seems like a tech would be able to have a way for me to figure out if it's profile or if it's something with the machine, but everyone just keeps bouncing me around. I'll try cranking the refresh all the way up and see...
  8. JV33 won't print solid colors

    I haven't hacked into this machine yet...and I'm not going to till my warranty is up. If it is a damper situation, then a tech needs to be messing w/ it since it's under warranty.
  9. JV33 won't print solid colors

    Here is what I just printed. I am on 6 pass, 720X1080, and I gave it a .7 second delay between passes, and a refresh rate of 1 (although I'll admit I have zero clue what this setting does). You can see how perfect it is at the start, and how terrible it is by the end. I feel like I should...
  10. 4over.com

    I'm a GotPrint.com guy. They do great work, and they have a retail AND wholesale login so I still get lower pricing than the guy that's on there shopping around. Do I charge what they charge retail, no way...it's not worth doing it for what they charge, but normally people know already that...
  11. Somebody's ticked off customer

    I've had my share of people calling to ask why their stuff wasn't ready when I had no clue who they were over the years. I don't know how you get that mixed up, but apparently it happens.
  12. Somebody's ticked off customer

    You need to record that conversation even if it's only one sided so that we can all hear it and laugh.
  13. Do you use a Print/Cut System or Separate Print+Plotter

    Seperate. It'd be a huge bottleneck for me if I had one machine doing both.
  14. Are we green yet?

    I've been in business 8 years myself, and my grandparents owned the company 24 years before that and I am SURE that in all those years, we had ZERO people ask about how "green" we were. I'm in a smaller community and no one cares about anything but price. Do I think that recycling and...
  15. Talk about Avery Film

    That's the LAST thing anyone should do. I had some reflective that I now assume was part of their "bad batch" problems when I first got into the business 8 years ago, but I never knew of the issues they had, and assumed I had done something wrong. I ended up going back and redoing it and...
  16. Sandy

    Man I'd love a good old snow storm! I can do without a regular hurricane storm though. I'm in Indiana and we're supposed to have 60MPH wind gusts, so I can't imagine what you guys have on the coast.
  17. I need a little moral support........

    All I can tell you is...my kids destroy everything in my house and it drives me nuts and my wife is ok with it. If I had a dog that destroyed everything in the house I'd be ok with it and she wouldn't...needless to say, I have two kids and no dog. I envy you. That's a cutie.
  18. Cell vs Landline business phone

    I can see both sides of "needing to answer calls at all times" and "keeping things separate". I have a customer who basically is probably 30%+ of my business. They got my cell phone long ago, and that's the only number they call, and they freak out when I don't answer. They aren't mad, but if...
