  1. Omega 2.02 CD??

    I'm sure we'd still have it.
  2. Blackest black?

    I actually use 35, 35, 35, 100 and it's about as dark as you can expect and not have a puddle of ink. PhotoShop black uses even higher concentrations of CMY and only about 65 K
  3. New Seamless Tiles in the Works

    Those look great! Any guess as to how many are in the works? I really, really dig your Volume 1 Seamless Texture files. Use them often. They are exceedingly high quality even at large sizes. I like staying one step ahead of the competition. And oh boy, do we have competition in this little town.

    Hi. What name have they given you? I won't use it on the open forum. Charles

  5. sales tax

    Fred, I'll have to check with the comptroller up front about that one. (my wife) She's gone for the day. She's a pretty sharp cookie. I'll ask if she's aware of it. BTW, I'm just a "wheel" in the production area. Not so smart about the front end stuff.
  6. sales tax

    Finally, the term CPA is thrown around a lot on this board. I have no idea about 149motorsports' business, but some small businesses can get by nicely with a Public Accountant. The Certification part is going to cost you. We do use a CPA and the rate is $170.00 per hour, I believe. (would have...
  7. sales tax

    Interesting. That's a nice break, albeit not much dough. Here in gool ol' Washington state, we're offered a similar break if the taxable amount each month is under $10,000. Since ours never is, we don't get squat for doing this. I can see the logic though. There's the same amount of paperwork...
  8. sales tax

    Write-offs are amounts that can be charged off against gross reciepts. (gross income) Since the tax you collect is not in that column (reciepts) there is no writing it off. You are merely acting as an agent of the state. A trustee if you will. The money is not yours, but theirs. You're holding...
  9. sales tax

    Valley, things can vary from state to state, but I'm pretty sure this is standard around the country in one form or another. If you're purchasing anything that then gets re-sold, you simply fill out a re-sellers application and obtain a number that allows you to not pay sales tax on those...
  10. Hello from Ohio

    Welcome from the Pacific Northwest. Formerly from Strongsville, OH.
  11. Are we a weakening industry? And is it our own fault?

    Ok, here's my take on all of this. Bear with me. The sign industry is unique in one way. It truly qualifies as a "service" industry, but is often perceived as a "retail" industry. By that I mean clients, more and more now, tend to look at finished signwork, much like you and I might look at a...
  12. How do you conduct business?

    Insignia, that makes pretty good sense. Marlene, wish we had a conference room. Bill, I'm reluctant to take people back to our workstations, but sometimes that's the only way. We do have a computer at the counter that's networked so we can retrieve previous jobs to discuss things. And try...
  13. How do you conduct business?

    Both of you standing, with a counter between you? Or sitting down across from each other over a desk? We've always been "counter" types. But on a previous thread I noticed someone mentioned the client being seated, so it got me to wondering. What are the pros and cons of each?
  14. Older gerber Edge question

    Yeah, I was just going to say, that's going to be the problem. We have such a machine ourselves. Older clamshell model. The ceramic head went bad a few years back, actually about ten years I think, and the machine had to be crated up and sent back to New England. Cost was about $3000.00 if...
  15. Nonstop viruses, can't get rid of them?

    Flame, I can't offer anything in addition to the good advice you're getting here, but wanted to tell you I empathise. This sort of thing has happened to me and it absolutely drives you mad. Feel bad for ya. I use AVG the pro edition, and keep it up to date. Also run SpyHunter once a week. I'm...
  16. Font ID

    Resembles Franklin Gothic, with that capital E like that.
  17. SP 540V PRINT/cut issues

    Eric, I would visit rolanddga.com and click on a link that refers to dealers in your area. They are the only ones that I know of for replacement parts.
  18. We need a trimmer. Is this one a good one?

    My only interest for this particular piece of equipment is cutting large prints down to size. Set it up between the output side of the laminator and another large landing table. Would like to either see one operate or hear from someone with this very apparatus.
  19. We need a trimmer. Is this one a good one?

    The attached file shows a trimmer (63") that a sign supply house would like to sell me. He says they can hardly keep them in stock. Yeah, I know, they're from China, but are they any good? Anyone use one like this. Sorry for the low quality, but that's all I've got.
  20. SP 540V PRINT/cut issues

    Here's a couple of possiblilities: (1) After the initial print is out of the machine, are you hanging the print in some fashion that the print can stretch? Hanging it by one end? Calendared vinyl can grow. (2) After you laminate and get set to cut, are you doing an environmental match? Do this...
