Well I don't have much to add other than I want to get into it. I would choose the model carefully if you buy a hobby grade one as a lot of them need some serious tinkering to work. I just broke a plastic trigger on a 25 year old chainsaw last week. It would be nice to have a printer to...

Yup! The $5,000 price tag on that oscillating knife is insane! We rebuilt one ourselves to save some money. I can't remember the name of the company that makes the air motor, but you can purchase them through one of their dealers for $500 or so I believe. Our shop went through 3-4 knives in...

Hello fellow Hoosier, I'm about 2 hrs east of you :) Most of the trade shows, ISA, SGIA, and the NBM show (Indianapolis) offer seminars on various signmaking topics. Trade shows are a nice way to meet people and get a feel for the industry. Some of the equipment dealers offer training, I...

EPS does not store images efficiently at all. Just dump a huge image into an eps file and watch the size multiply to many times the original image size. Up until Illustrator CS6 64 bit it was extremely easy to crash/not save files in Illustrator for this reason. This will also increase your...

That is sort of what I wondered, which is understandable for a lot of reasons. Although, it would be worth your time building out using a new domain name or re purpose that one for your local searches like I suggested.

To continue from Hicalibersigns post, I also googled for "401Graphics Road Island" and I can't find your website. If I can't find it, yes you basically don't have one, it is not created correctly. I did find your facebook page - 574 likes, not bad. Consider this, you can essentially say...

Freshbooks is really just timekeeping and billing. Seeing as you are on a sign forum (assuming you do signs) that might not be the best fit for you. If you're willing to spend up to $29/m then look at Quickbooks Online. I use it for quite a few things, it works fine including invoicing, plus...

This is pretty damaging to Adobe's Cloud program as everyone that is using it just had their account compromised. It is also reasonable to assume even though the passwords and credit card information is encrypted that the encryption keys/scheme might also be compromised. This is pretty evident...

Portfolio is a "page" link. You want a "custom" link. If you look in the top right you'll see this is the main difference between the two. Just remove portfolio from the menu and add it back as a custom link.

Most of what you are talking about is simply custom software written for their needs. The cost is difficult to measure as some of the companies you named are into quite a bit more than just "signs". Some of them have spin off niches (separate websites) that cater to different sectors of the...

Get print samples on the xf-640 and see if it will work. If you are happy with Roland and your local tech then you'll likely be better off to keep your business with them.

dropbox, google drive, skydrive all work like this

I don't think this machine will do double strike. You might try the Max DPI Saturated setting, it will likely have the same effect.

Sounds like the HP is plugged into the main business network. This is generally not ideal as you introduce all sorts of potential issues with communication (like you are seeing). You should really add a second network card to the rip workstation and run a cable directly to the machine. This...

Welcome, not very practical for large jobs, but if you have a picky customer it will definitely be much better looking.

Been I while since I've used that machine, but I believe it is the highest (slowest) print quality. In onyx there was a checkbox to enable saturation, or it might have been on the job settings on the printer display before you release it to print.

That machine stinks at getting a deep red on most of the print settings. Try the "saturation" mode and you should get a deep red although it will be slow

That is a good deal even without software, but if he used it he should have the software (Omega). If you get it be sure to get the hardware key (dongle) or the software will be useless.

Impossible to put a value on it without financials.
