  1. Malware-virus

    Sounds like what we got on my machine here on Thursday night, same story, our tech was able to get it "cured" but took all of Friday am, before we got to use the computer again. The people who dream these up should be drawn and quartered, brought back and done to again!!!!!!!
  2. Time to renew our yellow-pages ad

    We are also dropping the YP ad this year, 3K, in just one of 3 books in this area. Asked what the next two sizes down were, and the YP rep said they were almost the same price. Last year we dropped the Verizon and Dex YP ads. Most of the new business we get is from other areas other than the...
  3. Join the BBB?

    Just my 2 cents, bbb, total waste of $$, belonged for a year, with promises of help all sorts of things, zip. CoC varies with location and participation, hard to make the meetings, let alone be active in it, but still a good thing to have on the wall.
  4. Aluminum blanks

    Check back with Denco, they will cut to size from blanks. Just went thru this, and they were the only ones we found.
  5. After almost seven years, calling it quits

    Chris, really enjoyed meeting you and your wife at the Signs 101 meet and greet, your hospitality, and putting up with everyone was remarkable. Thank you for your advice and help. As S. Rex stated new opportunites will come your way. I know how tough it is to shut down something you have...
  6. Box truck wrap help

    We purchased some IJ35 at a good price to try it for our short term items (not vehicles) and not real impressed with it. Seems that most of the times salesmen tell how good a product is, it has not lived up to expectations. Buyer beware.

    Ha, Ha, sounded like our supermarket two blocks from the house, but they have yet to expand to the TP aisle!
  8. Lease Prices & Negotiations

    Big plus on that, before you sign the lease check everything about the building you may be responsible for after you sign. Check the doors, those commercial doors can be expensive to repair. If possible do not take any responsiblility for the HVAC, ours is old and patched up, and if it fails we...

  10. Epson 4800Pro Printer conversion from sublimation back to standard inks?

    We have the Epson 4800 that we have used for sublimation for the last 3 years, but have been going away from doing much sublimation work. The inks are getting low, so rather than spend $800 plus for a new sublimation ink set I would like to convert back to regular epson inks. The amount of...
  11. Graphtec FC7000 FC8000 Series Service Menu

    Will have to watch for this, our plotter is almost 4 years old too, and today had to order a cuting blade holder, as the original was wo. This was demonstrated by smaller cuts of 1 inch or less letters not being cut strait.

It really makes your wife happy to know you were there for her to the exculsion of the business Last November my wife was driving outside of Portland and lost control on a curve in the rain, we did a couple...
  15. how digital can bite you in the a$$

    For what it is worth, I would bite the bullet and redo the sign based on what you have said. The reson being is that the customer expects, and should receive a proof free of errors made at our end. Now if the customer gives us the wrong info such as a phone number, and we produce it after they...

    Thanks for the responses, we are looking for someone to train, in all areas. 10-12 per hour seems to be the norm here for entry level GA's, we have always paid more and will for the right person. Top end here seems to be 15-16 hr. I will remove the starting pay, and leave it at DOQ. As a...
  18. Imagaro Z Font/Vectorize Software

    We purchased it, but were never able to use it much. While impressed seeing work at a show, we did not have much success after we purchased it. We did not see much in the way of support for end users.
