  3. How I spent the weekend!

    Actually made it out camping this past weekend. We went to Drumheller, Alberta. That's where the "badlands" are located in our province. It's one of the worlds largest dinosaur bone/fossil find sites. Really cool area to visit and it's only an hour and a half from our home. Camping is great in...

  6. what does FPO mean???

    +1 on this. We use that term in the printing industry all the time on proofs. When we are showing proofs with any kind of graphic/image, we always send with a low resolution image and say it's "for position only", so they, firstly, realize that even though it looks like crap in the proof, it...

  8. How much for that HP L25500 in your sign shop?

    I'm running Onyx 10.1 and it's fabulous! Comes with a take-up reel that works like a charm! I paid $19,499. Came with two full sets of ink, installation, training, Onyx PosterShop X10. The print quality is amazing, don't know what people are talking about when they say there's a "waxy" look to...
  9. What is your mark up?

    1.75 to 2.0 mark-up on all outsourced products. I use trade-only sources and I periodically keep my trade suppliers "honest" by making sure they are selling to trade only! Vista does not worry me in the slightest. Have I lost business to Vista... YES! Does it bother me... NO! They obviously know...

    Thanks for all the wonderful responses! We're both so very happy and our lives are much better! We don't tire nearly as easy, we have more energy to enjoy life and we're more active than ever! This summer we have taken up cycling! A 2 hour bike ride is nothing now whereas a year ago, 15 minutes...

  15. Yo......... Canadians..................

    Wow! That's a very good "Coles Notes" version Baz! :clapping: I never was big into history growing up, but as I get older, I'm learning to respect it more and more! All I know is that in my little pea sized mind, I don't let borders separate good people and good friends... whether it be...
  16. Yo......... Canadians..................

    Don't forget the British reign in Canada... we do after all have the Queen of England on all of our currency. God Save The Queen use to be one of our official anthems (years ago). As far as the French aspect goes... I'm French Canadian and I haven't a friggin' clue who came first! :omg: I...

  18. customer wants .pdf what would you do?

    I keep it very simple here in my shop where we have artwork on file for 500+ customers. If a customer requests their artwork, I gladly put it on a DVD in all formats I have on file and give it to them... it is their artwork and they have either paid me for it or provided it to me originally. If...

    Here's a zoomed out pic. I get a kick out of the people with the iPhone & Blackberry cameras! I had my D7000 and it was tough enough to get a decent shot with the motorcade moving so fast!
