How many will make the Darwin Awards?

OK, let's get the volume up then....sell, sell, sell.

Well, I hang onto stuff forever (to a point). Most of our equipment runs fine, but that's because they're not forced into retirement by bells and whistles like printers and other software dependant devices. Almost anything can be fixed with a little elbow grease and learnin. And I hate waste...

This really makes me second-guess myself. Sigh.

Possibly I'm uber aware since we have a HP 365 on the floor but it seems that almost daily someone is selling off their HP Latex equipment. And often it is not that old. What are the reasons behind the sales and what are people replacing them with? Are they upgrading their latex equipment...

My mom always warned me about Thai Quyens. Dammit, wrong forum.

With all of the scam calls, IRS, Canada Revenue, duct cleaning, "we have got an outstanding warrant for your arrest", etc., I am surprised how more and more people turn out to be dirt-bags. A really frustrating aspect of this is that we have created a system (internet) that promotes this type...

OMG, amazing. This is like your date saying "Sure I'll catch a ride with you" instead of saying "No thanks I'll rather take the bus." Thanks for the link.

I meant to post a follow-up a while ago, my apologies for the delay. Initially I replaced a few (expired) inks and I either replaced or cleaned & refreshed the print heads. Then I went through a number of the test sequences and re-calibrated my HP 365 for the media I use on a regular basis...

With the lack of ability to attend trade shows until recently I would occasionally search for ideas and insights on how to get more out of our machinery. Often this involves looking to manufacturers of our equipment such as HP for inspiration. And I must say inspirational they are...

Crown refers to the middle of the rollers having a slightly larger diameter then the ends. Generally the feed rollers may be crowned whereas the pull rollers are not. The problem may be that you may have crowned rollers and/or the nip can be off. Either way the nip occasionally requires...

Are your rollers crowned or a consistent diameter across the nip? If they are crowned you may very well have to increase the pressure. Regarding the pressure gauge, on my GBC Falcon occasionally it goes out of whack and has to be adjusted. It's just a magnet attached to a metal rod that moves up...

Regarding perforating, I was thinking about perforating the boards that are already coated and run them under the rollers again. Possibly this may work. Might be worth a try if you feel it's worth the time.

Never used that machine so I am not sure how accurate the depth measurements are. I'm thinking pressure is either too low or high. Assuming you have a wide enough laminator one thought may be to run a strip along the sides of the Ultra Board to help maintain a more consistent pressure along the...

So I load a B&W image in Flexi 19 and it looks fine. Send it off to be printed and it looks fine. Head to PM and it's inverted and prints inverted. I really am trying my best to be more understanding with the things the world throws at us each day but come on...

Entertaining spam and gas-lighting.

Still a good tip.

This is where it ends. As businesses we can vent, get the $#!+ off of our backs and move on. It's small business therapy at its best. The only thing missing is the really good replies or zingers that we wish we had said.

As sign professionals do your contracts/work orders not include a provision or terms for non-payment?
