  1. A rat in my own maze?

    Don't mess w/ my dew. I only have one or two a day, and I'm sure it's too many...but if I die early cause of it...it was worth it.
  2. Shop Window Lettering

    I had a guy from the pizza place across the street come over yesterday. He got all new store front windows, and me and another company in town had quoted them a few months back, not really knowing for sure what the final size would be. He came over and said that my quote was $100 more than the...
  3. I don't consider myself a designer anymore but do it sometimes

    So the team is apparently a bunch of raging alcoholics? Cool to see the sketches go to full color.
  4. My first vector drawing from photograph.

    Unreal! Nice work!
  5. If it sounds to good to be true

    I just ordered a couple of these printers because I got such a large order of banners to ship out. They say something like "Save the children". The chump even gave me his credit card info to run up front. This job is almost too good to be true!!!
  6. Some of you are probably sick of seeing this design by now...

    Unreal Joe...love it. Wish I could get customers to understand the importance of a "brand" when they do stuff instead of opening up power point and letting their 12 year old create it for them when they "start a new business".
  7. yellow ink making a mess

    Haven't had to do anything yet maintenance-wise. It's easier to clean as far as around the wiper and all that stuff for the daily cleaning. It only has one head in it instead of four. I don't know if that makes it cheaper or more expensive to replace some day.
  8. yellow ink making a mess

    If I figure what I'd have dumped into the old one to keep it alive, plus the tax part of the write off, plus the "loyalty discount" they had...yea, it was around $5,000 to get into the new one. I still had to pay more than that for it, but I had to either dump a lot into an old one, or get a...
  9. Thoughts On This Logo Concept?

    Settle down Beavis. If you don't like the show, change the channel.
  10. yellow ink making a mess

    There is ZERO learning curve if you get a Mimaki JV33. It's almost exactly the same, just prints faster, better, and it's new instead of coming in every day wondering if you'll be able to print or not. Every time I'd call Advantage to trouble shoot something, they'd say "woh, those normally...
  11. yellow ink making a mess

    I had issues with my Magenta doing that on my JV3 earlier this year. I ended up putting a couple of dampers in it and it fixed it for the most part. I think the other part was my inks were lying to me and I'd get air in the line. I ended up selling it and just saying it was time to get a new...
  12. Double sided banners

    I sub all my double sided out because I don't get enough to ever warrant trying to mess with figuring out a plan that doesn't work. I'd say in 7 years in business I've done MAYBE 10 double sided.
  13. best price for onyx production house x10

    I got the upgrade for $895 from Advantage when I bought my new Mimaki a few months ago. I went from 7 to 10. Not sure what the full blown software is. I was thinking I paid like $2,500 for 7 years ago.
  14. Anyone know this font?

  15. Psychological Challenges of Business Ownership

    I'm not mega motivated to go out and search for new work, and I've been mega lucky to always have enough coming through the doors to pay the bills. I'm a one man show, and it is easy to sometimes not want to even face the mountain of "stuff" that there is to do in a day. I do manage to get...
  16. Love my subs!

    I am a one man shop, and it used to be very long days/nights for me, and frustrations with production/design problems, and having to deal with paying the bills and the customers and everything that goes with it. Once I found S101 my life became way less stressful because of the knowledge I...
  17. need source for printing wall wrap project

    I don't know if it's good as far as location, but Pat just told me about Georgia Print Company, and they're GREAT. If you call them and get hooked up with your sales rep, I believe they do wall stuff all the time. They had the pricing for it on their website I believe. You have to get setup...
  18. Location, location, location?

    Almost all of my "new" walk ins are the same way...graduation/birthday garbage. I was better before out in the country where my customers were loyal that stopped by, and I landed every job that came in. I rarely get new customers, but I have tons of people that stop by and I never see them...
