a delicate dance. most smaller customers payment in full on approval of the proof before production. If there is a lot of design we will get some time paid for in advance, depends on the existing relationship. Corporate and Municipal that we have done decent business with before, we will...

I couldn't do tatoos. If I make a mistake now, a typo or just a crappy wrap design it can be fixed. But skin??? Besides I would go out of business trying to persuade my customer not to tattoo the name of the person they are with. Have a bad day or miss your coffee that morning and someone is...

I remember what a nightmare it was working as a designer in a marketing company when your only contact with the client was through the sales lizard. Like trying to thread a needle wearing mittens, I never really knew what the custmer was wanting... only what the sales guy wanted to sell.

Professional? There are a few reasons I go to the hassle (and cost) of having my own business. One of them is the pleasure of having my dogs around and the knowledge that they aren't moping around an empty house waiting nine hours for someone to come home. I would rather be happy than...

our two manage to bark everytime we are on the phone to a corporate client. They stay mostly out of the shop but have beds in the office. A great way to break up the day is a few minutes playing with a dog or rubbing a belly.

So given everyone is so worried about the price of oil, Why is the US blocking a pipeline from Canada FULL of cheap oil? Can't be because of Oil Sands pollution because Coal is so much more polluting on every level. Oil is the price it is because of speculators that are allowed to control...

Works with mine

:thumb: Clear reverse with translucent white (clear adhesive) backing then cut to shape if needed. We do a ton of these onto acrylic blanks for internal signage.

the end of vehicle perf? I for one won't be sad to see it go. Personally I don't lam. I have tried optically clear and it works...sort of. I have tried to live with perf on my back window several times (both with and without lam), but always ended up pulling it off.

On the wiper it leaves a fine line of ink on the head that spatters when the head prints. I had a tiny whisker of lam stuck on the media guide that was brushing the heads as they passed. took hours to find (and many head cleanings). I have also had lint on the wiper (I really should clean this...

The rep or service guy can't tell you to do it because that would void warranty and be directly against manufacturers instructions. That said it works. I have had ink build up on the head and had to both replace the wipers and directly clean the surface of the head (I can admit that now in...

great, thats at least a weekend burned just playing.

Cloud is great, in addition to the cost of cloud I also have the Data transmission costs. I regularly go over the data limit and the costs can be prohibitive. I know I can uprade the data plan (yet again), but it is already crazy high (okay I also watch netflicks). I would like to fix my...

Paranoid as I am about data loss, I have been using Carbonite to back-up my data offsite. However Carbonite slows as you add more data and I'm now generating files faster than they back-up. I am also noticing a real slowdown in the time it takes to access files from my Netgear 2TB NAS that I...

sub it out. Unless the image won't show the joins you will be doing the 6ft in 3 strips...and I would hate to match up a 30ft length in an image that will be viewed close up. sorry for answering this :thread

Curious because I'm really a designer who needs to hire someone to run the machines and make signage. I spend my mornings designing and afternoons in the shop printing and making. The hard part isn't just skills, they can be learned. It's motivation. I have hired people and ended up...

Wow, we just got an order for 50 banners from a reverend in Chad! I think I'll run out and buy me some overhead at the credit store.

kooto is alas only 3/8 and I need 1/2. (I have been looking at it though). I have a rotary cutter and it is great for gathering dust and stacking things on. The safety Speed cutter is a saw...? I can't have that dust and kerf inside the printshop.

me and my trusty Sooper Edge ruler are getting tired of cutting down all the Gator, coroplast and excel. I'm looking for a nice cutter that everyone can use (even the people who make me cringe when they pick up a blade). I have room for a table cutter or a wall, either the fletcher or the...
