  1. Computer performance?

    I downloaded the free version of Temp Cleaner. Ran it. Freed up 8.649 Gig and deleted 26,691 files. Can this be correct?
  2. Client count?

    Do most of you know how many clients you have? We've archived every job from every client for 22 years now. And I suppose it would be possible to get a count of how many clients we have. But I've never tried to compile that data. Wonder if it would be useful to know. And for sure, some of...
  3. Computer performance?

    Without being a tech myself, is there any way a guy can evaluate whether or not his machine is running optimally? It seems like mine is slowing down over the last few months. But without any empirical data, how can I know if it's not just me? (hope that makes sense) I defrag when the machine...
  4. Ohio Newbie

    Welcome from the Pacific Northwest. Grew up in Strongsville. Spent some time in Mansfield. Don't miss shivering in the snow, though.
  5. Printing with Florescent inks?

    Turns out the client has decided to move in a different direction now. We're still in the hunt to "wrap" all of the exterior windows with bowling motifs. Window perf, of course.
  6. Window perf job.

    Is edge sealer a clear liquid you just sort of brush on?
  7. Window perf job.

    Quick question. We think we may be about to do twelve windows 5 feet wide by 10 feet tall. Totally edge to edge digital print on window perf with cast overlaminate. Nice job, hopefully we get it. Is there a practical way to make sure the edges of the graphic are difficult to start peeling...
  8. how digital can bite you in the a$$

    By the way, I don't think it was the sign-making method that "bit you in the ass." It was your layout guy....and the in-attentive proof reader on their end. Double mistake. The signmaking method had nothing to do with it. If you were printing books for a living, and there was a error in...
  9. how digital can bite you in the a$$

    I think I would offer to patch it at no cost. If they balk at that, you can say that it's your opinion that the patch will be non-noticeable and not a bad compromise. When they say "what are you talking about?" You can say, "look, we're in the reproduction business. Errors and ommisions...
  10. 12 Common Photoshop Mistakes and Malpractices

    Thanks for the link. A newbie in PS for sure.Never have used the pen tool. Going to have to get familiar with it. The other tips are worth exploring too. Again, thanks.
  11. Long intro, but it needs to be.

    Welcome from the Pacific Northwest. There's a few of us older cats on this forum. Keep reading on this board and you'll find you can tap into a wealth of information.
  12. Photoshop performing poorly. Help?

    Thanks, Jhill. Just did that. Now to re-start photoshop.
  13. Photoshop performing poorly. Help?

    My system has 2.0 Gig of Ram. As far as internal HD's go, I have the main drive and a scratch drive, E. There's also a server which is a mirrored-array affair that can hold 500 Gig, I believe. But that is of no use other than for storage. Or so I've been told. Should my preferences be set...
  14. Photoshop performing poorly. Help?

    And what about that "primary paging file on the same volume" business"?
  15. Photoshop performing poorly. Help?

    Wouldn't dropping it's available memory make it run even slower?
  16. Sign thieves...

    Hmmmm...let's expand on that idea a little. So the client phones, you tell him you did the job but someone must have stolen the signs, he asks for a statement from you to attest to that fact, turns around and files a claim with his insurance company...with your affidavid prominently stapled to...
  17. Photoshop performing poorly. Help?

    Ok, only recently have I been having super slow performance doing tasks in Photoshop. Here's a message I sometimes (but now always) get. "You currently have Photoshop's primary scratch and Windows primary paging file on the same volume, which can result in reduced performance." Does...
  18. Sign thieves...

    Pat, take a photo of the completed install after you're done. Sign ownership transfers at the moment you're done. (legally speaking) Maybe in this case you'd want to go ahead and replace at your own costs (as you did), but legally you wouldn't have to. Learned this when we installed and then...
  19. 2010 Ford Super Cab

    Here's one we did just before Christmas. The client wanted a beach scene since he operates at the coast. The bridge is significant because he has a location in each state. (Ore. and Wa.) We're wrapping another new Ford for him on Wednesday. Bad photo, I know.
  20. Printing with Florescent inks?

    Well if I understand this particular job right, they'll need about 100 signs, but they're like 4'x4', so I'd prefer to run large sheets on the Roland. I'll know more about the particulars of the job on Monday. Right now I think the client is fishing for some answers to see if it's possible...
