  3. Paint mask issues

    That sucks John. I hate when a proven method fails because the some product isn't what it used to be. I agree with Garth, I would try polishing with a mild abrasive, we have a few in stock for such occasions. Some I've used are for glass cook tops, chrome and of course fine auto compound. Then...
  4. HR Dept says we're not "essential"

    Netsol has a point, we rely on our payroll company to make sure we are in compliance with a lot of regulations. But in the end they are a service working for us, so they can let us know about a possible issue, but we make the decision. We have clients in emergency apparatus, grocery, municipal...

    J Burton, reminds me of the old time neon guy talking about working on beer signs..." Every day, all day I made the "Bud" and Fred made "wei" and Joe made the "ser:"
  6. Sick of custom work

    Maybe you shouldn't advertise everything on your site as "Custom". :rolleyes: Seriously isn't that the business you are in? If you don't want to do custom work make up a bunch of stock designs and set up a site selling them.

  9. Working from home....security?

    Not all business cards have the same protections. I have two that do have fraud protection. I remember hearing about this years ago, maybe more include it now. https://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/business-credit-card-was-stolen-what-to-do/

    I thought business cards didn't have the same protections as personal cards?
  11. Time for my morning rant. Terminology!

    So if someone asks for a 4'x8' site sign from you they get a 8' tall sign? The best solution is to always confirm the orientation.

  13. Liquid Laminate on Trailer Wrap

    I have used liquid laminate on Edge prints for years and they work fine. But as been said they don't provide much scuff resistance. Before the availability of laminated prints I did many jobs that were really large (busses, trailers) that we tiled and applied. You have to use premask to apply...

  15. Question Vinyl crackle/wrinkle problem

    Tell them they got the Leatherette texture no extra charge....looks like it has reached the end of it's life, maybe a little early but within the stated range. It may be a combination of the color and exposure.
  16. How did you learn to troubleshoot?

    I used to service my HP5000/5500s. I used the manual and just made sure to document all mt steps as I took it apart. Nothing worse than getting it almost back together and discovering that you left something out. But now I just pay up for the service contract on my current machine. Being a...
