Lol My Problem? Ok, first of all I do not have a "problem" I simply asked for input as to what I might consider upgrading to! My current system works perfect for what volume that I have. We print/ laminate and cut all day every day...daily. No Issue! I am hoping to get work from large...

Workload There is no way our existing system can keep up with that kind of printing workload. I am talking large volume and large decals as well. Some decals are upwards of 3 ft. The contours are not real complicated but the bigger ones sometimes have holes in them where a handle or something...

Misscommunicated amounts! Your right haha 50 decals is not much! I should have said 50 of each decal out of 100's of different designs! Each decal would be ordered in 50 at a time increments but they will order hundreds of each item per year! For example the last quote I did added up to over...

Hi, I am close to securing a decal manufacturing job here in N. Mn. and I will need to upgrade everything as my older Roland Versacamm sp540 print/cut and my Graphtec 8000 cutter and my little barebones laminator won't work for the process that I will be setting up. This is the scenerio. Each...

I have been meaning to put this up here for a while and since I am at the shop on a Sunday it is time! As some of you may have figured out I own a sign shop (since 10/1/2011) and I had no prior experience. Having said that we have just expanded and we were able to purchase our own building...

Consultant recommendation Hi, We too have had some growing up issues! I actually found Bryant Gillespie from Clockwork Consultants thru Signs101. He has proven invaluable! We had an opportunity to meet him in person last week when one of our clients flew us (from MN) and Bryant (From PA) to Las...

Hello everyone! I had to reinstall windows to my server. I have sub-sequentially lost all my settings both in signlab 9 and my versaworks rip. I do not use the signlab rip. I don't like it so everything gets sent to Versaworks. Here are my questions so far! Is there a way to find and transfer...

Search came up with nothing Yes, my IT gal went thru everything as well as compared email proofs to the cloud backups. It is just a crazy phenomenon that I hope will be fixed with a complete reboot of my server which is a hell all its own at the moment and I am going to be posting some...

On Right is the first time I went in and created the file and started the layout. I ran out of time and went back in the next day and added more to the file and sent it out to my customer at that point. Today I opened the file and the work that I added in on day 2 was not saved. Thankfully I...

Not sure what Thread to post this in so if I am in the wrong spot I apologize! We have been invited to do a van wrap in Las Vegas for a client who is in a Trade Expo at the Mirage in Sept. Apparently covered space in a parking garage is an issue as the van is considered by them to be oversized...

We do have a detailed form for wraps but I guess for basic lettering we just have not had a problem so I haven't bothered with the full round of paperwork. We typically do tell them what to expect and how to get long life by avoiding yada yada. This is the first big stink in over 3.5 years of...

I would have thought that too but I got the stink eye when I told him that this wasn't vinyl failure and it wasn't install error you would have thought that I just robbed a bank lol! If I wasn't so irritated it would be funnier! Two years have past and he seriously looked at me and said "well...

Hi! I tried google and didn't come up with anything but I am looking for a site or photos that would show the damage after aggressive Pressure washing. I have one customer that insists (two years after install) that the vinyl was bad or we installed it wrong because the surface has pealed up in...

Hi! We currently have an older Roland SP540v Print/Cut 54 in. machine. I am looking to upgrade hopefully this summer to a new or newer machine. I am being told by one of my good vendors that Mimaki is the better bang for the buck. Print quality is better and more vibrant than the rolands are. We...

Ok!!1 I will look at it again this weekend and rework! I hear you and acknowledge the "hot mess" lol! I get it truly doooooo!

Sign code I am ok for codes. I have checked and it is permitted. I agree it is busy and I might have to take it down because I lose but I think it will work for spot. Thanks for weighin in!

A better explanation So sorry I didn't quite set the scene right lol! This will be facing the parking lot for my customers. I want to give a visual on some of our other offerings. We have big letters "Sign shop" on front of building facing the highway traffic. I figured since I have the long...

Hi! Hope you can see this ok. I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't want to wait for signlab to convert it to a jpeg so I did a screen shot! Anyway, I have a huge building and we are going to put up a big banner to get the word out that we are here and what we do. It is by no means finished so...

Just wondering if there is a way to quickly print out a font poster like the one that came with my Signlab 9 software. The poster has been used and abused and I don't have the time to type out a sample of every font to make one. In my heart I know there is no quick fix for this but I thought...

Thank you! All good stuff! Pat the bear thing makes me laugh! Good stuff! I really was going away from the top left as to me it sends more of a "print shop" message than a "sign shop" message so I am glad that I put them up here to get your take on them. In the end I may go more towards the...
