  1. Estimate & other pricing software

    I bought Estimate, and didn't have the patience to set it up, and never have used it. It's not the monthly one...but I guarantee you I wouldn't pay monthly for something like that.
  2. Frustrating Customer - LONG!

    Yes, I agree. Anyone that I have decided not to do business with has basically been me referring them somewhere else. The only one that the customer decided what to do was when he didn't pay, and I told them they'd have to go somewhere else because I wasn't going to do more work until I was paid.
  3. Frustrating Customer - LONG!

    Isn't it the same idea as firing an employee? If you don't get along w/ them, and you just need to cut the business relationship...I personally see nothing wrong w/ that. I made myself SICK dealing w/ people the first few years of my business that always tried to take advantage of me, and take...
  4. Big Squeegee Sale

    You got a direct link to what all you've got Dale? I'm trying to think if there's one I don't own yet.
  5. Frustrating Customer - LONG!

    If you don't care if you fired them or not, then you are fine in my opinion. I had a customer this week that HAD to pick something up this morning, and I told her I had to know that DAY if the artwork was approved. She didn't have email at work, so I had to wait till she got home (and this was...
  6. what do you use to vectorize?

    I'll normally use the Vector Doctor, but if it's nothing too nuts, I'll use Inkscape...that's the ONLY thing I've ever used that program for...but it sure does better than Illustrator...and it's free, so doesn't hurt to have sitting around.
  7. Think I need a new MacBook Pro SuperDrive?

    Yes, I do. Eric, I think I'll try that this weekend if you think there's a possibility of that...I didn't think that just another account could fix that. I just put a new hard drive in it late last year, so it shouldn't be too whacked out, but there's always a chance I guess. I'll give that a...
  8. Think I need a new MacBook Pro SuperDrive?

    I just can't burn anything...from iDVD or if I make an image file, and try to burn that using Disk Utility, it won't do it. I've replaced the Keyboard (which was the worst) because I spilled Root Beer all over it, then I upgraded the Hard Drive...I'm thinking I have all the tools to pull it off...
  9. Think I need a new MacBook Pro SuperDrive?

    Well, I just chatted w/ someone at MacMall, and they don't even carry something like that. They want to sell me an External. I use this thing like once a week, that'd be annoying. NEXT!?
  10. Think I need a new MacBook Pro SuperDrive?

    I have been getting frequent errors on my MacBook Pro after four or five years of burning 100's and 100's of discs. I'm looking to replace it, but didn't know where to even start. I stumbled upon a bigger hard drive for it once and upgraded that...but I haven't "stumbled" across anything for a...
  11. Does anyone else enjoy working late?

    I like working as well when no one bugs me, as I can get a ton done when the door is locked, and the phone isn't being answered...however, I'd rather get up crazy early in the morning before staying past 5:00. Like all the others dads...I'm out of here as early as I can be when my work is done...
  12. Does anyone else enjoy working late?

    I almost have to agree w/ this one. When I bought my sign shop from my grandparents 5 years ago, we would work from 8 - Midnight at LEAST it seemed like every day in the summer. Now that it's just me, and my Mimaki, and I've learned how to utilize the Merchant Members on this board, I make...
  13. Big Squeegee Information

    I have 12, and use at least one each day! Best tool(s) in my shop!
  14. cutting 14" coro circles

    I have a guy that water jets mine locally.
  15. Competition is getting fierce here in NJ....

    Probably a dot matrix printer, then you fill in w/ a sharpie.
  16. Is everyone prepared?

    I went and bought a couple new cars, didn't go into work today, racked up every last cent on my credit cards, now I'm just gonna sit back and relax for the next few hours... Just kidding...most of us probably went to work today.
  17. Removing High Performance Vinyl

    I own the zapper, but would never use it on a vehicle. Maybe I'm not using it right, but when I've used it on Alumalite, it's left a haze that I can't get off of there, but I didn't try CRAZY hard to get rid of it since it was an old sign. Today I had to remove graphics off of a cop car, and...
  18. Thought you all would enjoy this....

    Sooo...how does he make $75/hr with this...let alone other people doing the same? Most people expect me to work for free to $2/hr...so this is an AMAZING opportunity.
  19. dirt late model

    Soooooo...you want someone to design you a car design with no template, and you only giving car colors, and you want it for free, so that you can print it for free? Just wanting to make sure I'm getting your "business model" correct here. I'm PRAYING that I am totally wrong. Oh, and you want...
  20. Do I really need a Technician for new Mimaki printer setup

    I'm calling that price a steal. If I remember right, I paid upwards of 1K for someone to come set it up. I bought mine from Advantage about 5 years ago. You can do whatever you want to do, but I'd recommend getting a tech and here's why. I first had a problem w/ my board in it, and had I not...
