  1. Local competition wants my help.

    If you do enter a relationship with him, be sure to cover your bases. 1) Will you run the prints from the files supplied regardless of how they "look" to you? Obvious spelling errors, images that don't look right, etc? 2) Will you run test samples regarding colors? What he's designing on his...
  2. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    Have to agree with many here. No way we're going to "let the customer talk us into" using the wrong product for the job. Don't care how much they kick and scream. You're the pro, act like it. Finally, here's something no one's mentioned yet. How many people saw your crew and truck there...
  3. Strange Conversation

    Don't think you'll see him again. I know the type. Sometimes people are waiting for a bus outside our shop and walk in because they've got some time to kill. (I hate this) They strike up a conversation about some phantom project that doesn't exist and waste your time. Sounds like that's...
  4. My Supermodel Daughter

    Yeah, it's kinda funny when I hear someone remark about, say, a guy's car or something. Like "hey, man that car's a beauty" and the other guy says "thanks, appreciate that". I guess it's an indirect compliment that the other guy is noticing your "good taste" in picking out a vehicle. But...
  5. Where can I buy this clipart? V. fish

    This fish is similar. I believe it's from Smart Designs Clip Art. Coloring is different, and I think it's a bass fish versus a trout or whatever. Obviously I'm not a fisherman.
  6. Back in the biz!

    Congrats! That's one less worry. I'm sure you'll be a great asset to them.
  7. A first for us.

    Yeah, we have post wrap photos, but......since many of his rigs are all 2010 Chev full size pickups, we wouldn't know precisely which one was the damaged one. We don't keep track of each driver's vehicle, I guess is the best way to say it. And....there could be minor discrepancies in the...
  8. A first for us.

    The client is 2 hours away. He's at the beach and there is no shop near him that can do this work.
  9. A first for us.

    Wrapped about 20 vehicles this year. Complete wraps, nose to tail. Many of them in the last six months or so. So a week ago the client for which we've done seven pickups or so, walks in with a 2010 Chevy fender in his hands. (it's brand new) I guess he got it from the body shop. He's also...
  10. Gun threads

    Criminals and un-hinged people don't necessarily have to pass background checks. Or wait three days, etc. The nut job in Connecticut stole his weapons from his mother, who I understand, lawfully obtained and owned them. Regarding guns themselves, what I believe is it wasn't what was in his...
  11. FDC 7233 Series Calendered Air Advantage 3.0 mil - Wrinkles when Print

    Haven't seen that before. Definetly looks like a problem with the material.
  12. question about drag and drop clip art

    Yeah, but the whole idea is to have all these images directly on the work surface, not importing them one by one. It's unique in that you drag and drop from a roll down menu right onto the work surface.
  13. question about drag and drop clip art

    Just purchased a clip art product whereby once you download the art onto your desktop, everything pops up for you and you can scroll through tons of images right on your work surface. It's a totally marvelous concept. It works perfectly in Corel X5. But in Gerber Omega Composer (my regular...
  14. Another sick lunatic in the USA

    Agreed.
  15. Looks like hiring time has come.

    I'm more the "hire the attitude, teach the skill" guy. Right now I'm actually leaning toward hiring a totally green guy. There's one guy that I've been very impressed with. I've seen him working at the country club I belong to. He's polite, very smart and has a really nice "way". Good...
  16. Farm Logo I have been working on

    Shows a good deal of creativity. I like it. But one thing......and I see this all the time. Why is it people love to say "farms" plural? Maybe this guy does have a number of farms, but I see this a lot even when there is only the one farm referred to. Off topic, but just askin'.
  17. Rust-oleum as a Spray Laminate?

    The Flame makes a good point.
  18. Looks like hiring time has come.

    I get the NC (non-compete) but what is a ND? (no disclosure?)
  19. SP300 Head Strikes

    Assuming the 300 is similar to the 540: Print with the head in the "up" position. Especially on banners, but even vinyl jobs. Use all the media rollers. Be sure the material is in no "bind" from the feed side of things. Be sure the vinyl is not skewed. Finally is the temperature of the...
  20. Looks like hiring time has come.

    Wow, yeah installers. Just watching my guy wrap two Chev. Express vans, nose to tail. He's just tearing through 'em. Be hard to replace. We may have to have a moratorium on taking in wrap jobs.
