  1. Does doing it right matter?

    Ive stopped expecting print or cut ready artwork when we have someone say they will have their "Graphic Designer" send stuff over.

  5. DONE WITH SIGNS365, burned me for the last time!

    When you say its a large 11'x16' banner, i am automatically assuming this banner has some kind of finishing (grommets, hems, something). If somehow the person printing missed a poor print someone in finishing should have caught it. If that person missed it, someone had to pack and ship, they...
  6. Getting customers to check proofs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    We have something similar to what marlene has on all of our proofs and posted on the wall in the shop and people still check proofs on their phones and miss things. It is a delicate balance of telling them to kick rocks and pay for the reprint vs. pissing them off and having them trash us...

  12. Suggestions Wrought Iron Sign Bracket

    Just don't rely on their "availability" it shows on their website, its BS. We got burned by them on a sign bracket it said they had in stock and would ship in a week, a week later we were told they didn't have any in stock and had to be manufactured and it would be another month. Found another...

Problem was how the install was going to happen was not relayed to the client. If they weren't expecting a huge seam because no ne...
  17. Discussion Considering the switch to latex, Who's done it and Whats your thoughts

    We had a CJV30-130 for about 3 years, and a roland before that. Loved the mimaki but out-gas times were killing production. I came in one Monday after a weekend storm to find the mimaki had fried in a lightning strike. We went on a mad hunt and got a HP L360 bought and installed in under a...
