  1. AdzZoo. Who uses it and what is it?

    They'll never be able to kill a well done link circle. A crappy link farm yes definitely, and content farms have taken a huge hit too but link circles done by a good firm with reputable nodes will continue to be effective as long as pagerank uses backlinks as authority. A good SEO firm gets you...
  2. AdzZoo. Who uses it and what is it?

    Waste of money, if you want to build backlinks you could do it on a much bigger scale for less, paying to maintain one backlink is absurd and won't get you much googlejuice.
  3. Who is the Largest Sign Company in the US, non-Franchise?

    Those aren't absurd gross revenue per employee numbers either, many industries need that or higher for a company to be sustainable. Sign industry revenues are really beaten down.
  4. Websites on iPad

    Everyone is breaking records, MS and Google both just posted all time profit quarters. Their devices support Flash ;). Just being a devil's advocate... I see Jobs' point, I also think he's an insane control freak and his products are too restricted for me but very well targeted for the...
  5. what does FPO mean???

    You'll still want to tag it FPO though, even if that's what you name the layer, so that some poor prepress schmuck doesn't make it printable thinking you made an error.
  6. Illy keeps telling me no enough memory 108...

    Programs like that ("memory optimizers") are no longer necessary on modern OS (Win7, osX) and can actually hurt performance. While they were standard in the XP days and earlier, the way memory management is done has changed radically since then. Everything else GLARY does is done better by...
  7. 10X inflation in the last 40 years.

    Actually that's completely false, the US heavily suppresses gas prices domestically through regulatory controls, the EU prices are much closer to what the market would set if allowed. Various countries do add gas riders to encourage lower usage but it's very far from the reason mass trans is...
  8. Mas OSX Lion- You digging it?

    Running it on my Hackintosh, the UX changes aren't anything special, mostly stuff that's been around for years via 3rd party or on different platforms...and a good deal of it is annoying. I wouldn't update a production machine until the point release, as Vector Doctor mentions.
  9. This is the road that goes to my house

    American media has the attention span of gnats, and that's not a political statement. It just does. What kills me is when local stations spend 2 hours on some localized "human interest" story about some lady who finally got her car painted instead of updating us on situation's like Mosh is in...
  10. Who is the Largest Sign Company in the US, non-Franchise?

    Does your GF know you just quasi-proposed to her on a sign forum? ;)
  11. Adobe indesign created pdf won't export

    This. What's the deal? Have you tried exporting it as an EPS from the PDF? Or opening it in Illustrator? Once it's in EPS form Flexi/Corel should be able to deal with it fine. If not they're worse programs than I thought ;P.
  12. How Can I run the Calibration and not WASTE VINYL????

    You can get the Mimaki service manual that they give the field techs at the JV3 yahoo group or in various threads on these forums. It's still Mimaki english but it was enough to learn from with some trial/error. The tricky part was figuring out which line they were calling C1-2, etc...I just...
  13. Please help me choose between 2 laptops

    I only use Lenovo laptops. Great construction quality, you pay a bit of a premium but it's worth it.
  14. Photoshop CS5 JPG export wrong size !!!

    RIP time is actually faster for a .tif as it's uncompressed pixel data. Backup is a non-issue as you can compress the files on the NAS using drive compression. ~6 years of files for us takes up around 750GB which isn't much. A 4TB raid redundant NAS costs peanuts. When you're working with a...
  15. versaworks stores srf files of many GB sizes

    10GB is literally almost nothing, I see no reason not to save them. Post-ripped files are useful, if you get a reorder you know you will be printing the *exact* same thing.
  16. 10X inflation in the last 40 years.

    Actually minimum wage was originally designed as the minimum hourly a man could make to support his wife and two kids. Ponder that. Perhaps you should job jump more and put yourself in position for merit raises instead of just inflation raises if you're so concerned about young blood making what...
  17. Yo......... Canadians..................

    Life is change.
  18. Sherwin Williams to PMS

    Stick your spectrodensitometer on the paint swatch, done. I.E. an X-Rite 530 or whatever.
  19. The new Cricut of Print/Cut

    Just because it's fits on a desk and can print/cut doesn't make it a consumer device. I can think of a lot of uses for it.
  20. Illy keeps telling me no enough memory 108...

    As a tip just turn your raster effects resolution down to 72, remembering to turn it back up to 150 or 300 before final export.
