  1. take-up reel

    You can just use any old core! That's what I did. It does come with a core, but after discussing the extra shipping cost just for a core... wasn't worth it! Actually, one could take a heavier-duty core and actually put a couple self-tapping screws in each end through to the insert. That would...
  2. take-up reel

    Hi Colin, Sorry... I have been super busy and have not been on line for a bit (I don't actually log off, so it appears as if I'm on 24/7!! I'm preparing for a trip to Toronto tomorrow! It is still working very well. The only little hassle I've had with it is the core insert slipping within the...
  3. Windows 7 Users

    I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit) on one machine here. Although I don't run those programs, I can tell you that it is quite compatible with a variety of software & hardware. For anything that absolutely needs XP 16 bit (I have two such pieces of equipment/software), you can install and use Windows...
  4. How ink is made

    Very cool video! I can totally relate! I've had a long, long relationship with mixing ink... use to do it on a daily basis back when the offset business was booming! But now we've moved on! I would assume that the inks for our printers (EcoSol, Latex, UV, etc...) are pretty much made in a...

    Prayers for successful surgery and a quick recovery... :thumb:
  7. spam email

    I used to get a ton of those. I got very, very good at setting up "mail rules" on the Mac, and I'd say I've eliminated the spam by a good 95%. If one sneaks it's way through, I simply alter the rules to tackle it. Not sure how these work on PC, but I'm sure you can set them in a similar way. The...
  8. anyone know roughly what ink costs per sq. ft.?

    On the Roland, I've been averaging between $0.30 & $0.45 PSF on solid coverage. I'm in the midst of switching to Lyson inks which will cost me a lot less than OEM, so these numbers will drop significantly I imagine.

  13. EstiMate Software

    That's a great question... and I'm going to find the answer quite soon. I'll post the response I get from them. I can totally understand the concern regarding retaining data, especially for those shops that only use a single system to store it. The things I price in EstiMate actually get...
  14. EstiMate Software

    Estimates new 2011 version will be subscription only... and it's not on-line, it resides on your PC. It can be gotten from $39 per month for EVERYTHING... nothing is locked. I've gone with the $69 per month Enterprise version and have gotten 30% off of that for the first year. As I see it, 69...
  15. EstiMate Software

    Been on it for about a year now. I don't use as many features as others may, but for what I use it for, it's been fantastic. Looking forward to their major new release next week. It is subscription only for the upgrade, but IMHO it is well worth it for the quality of product it is!
  16. What vinyl does everyone use.

    I may pay a little more, but I pretty much stick with 3M products. 220, SC50, IJ135-10, IJ180, etc... It's never let me down yet, and if it ain't broke... yada, yada, yada!!!

  18. Signs 101 Rules

    You stole my line! I've never actually read them, so I did, and then again I've never actually broken any of them either. They are pretty much common sense after all!
