  1. Trouble with lights

    The back is sealed so no I can't get a photo of it. They seal the back with transparent white vinyl then seal the wire hole with silicone. I just finally got some resolve and sent them back to the company after speaking with the VP twice now. I will see what they say when they get them tomorrow...
  2. Thinking it might be time to hire my first employee, how to in this day and age?

    Being a firefighter here, and knowing how most firefighters come from different backgrounds, maybe try your local fire department for part time help. Atleast one background check should have been done on them already! Most firefighters can't live on a firefighter's salary alone, and a lot of...
  3. Trouble with lights

    I am following what your saying and I don't think it's an overload of the power supply. All 8 letters on one power supply are only supposed to be drawing 1.4 watts if I remember correctly. None of the wires are pulled tight, all are making good connection in the box (letters are sealed), and no...

  6. Trouble with lights

    Right now I will not say who the manufacturer is. The letters have been installed for 4 months now and yes they are strip lights. Each letter has 2 strips of lights in them. The only thing I can figure is it has to be bad lights. I am no electrician, but nothing else fits in the equation. I am...

  10. Coreldraw Tutoring

    Thank you all for your response. I will not get into my program is better than yours as I think it is all in what you like and get used to. All of them have little differences here and there. This biggest problem I am having now with X7 is being able to distribute. I was trying to make a rope...

    Man I sure wish I could help you. I have the same machine I purchased used and it has been a work horse for me and was well taken care of.

  15. Buying new Printer..WHICH ONE?!!

    I was in your same situation. I was ordering from B2sign mostly and got to a point that I figured I would open more opportunities by purchasing a printer. I purchased a used Roland SC545EX from a guy on ebay. Come to find out he is a member here and when I called a local dealer to find out more...
  16. Ink Question

    Thank you to everyone that posted. Great tips from all. I clean my printer once a week because it is not in use every day. I have thought since I purchased the printer that I would never use 3rd party inks, but after this offer came through I had a second thought about it. I believe I will leave...
  17. Ink Question

    Could you possibly expand on the reason/experience with 3rd party? Up to this point I would agree with you 110%. That's what I was told by several including a Roland tech and a salesman that has been in the business for many years. Each have their own reason, I'm curious of experience switching...
  18. Re-creating Logos

    I have been back and forth with a graphic designer over the last 2-3 weeks trying to get artwork that my new customer had already paid for. I asked for vector, pdf, eps and etc. I was sent all that I was asking for but none of it would work in coreldraw. I finally asked for him to just send me a...

    I am currently running a Roland SC545EX with ecosolvent (Roland) inks. I have been told by several people who really know these machines mot to run 3rd party inks in them.
