  1. Is my pricing outrageous?

    Every market is different, for 13oz banners, hemmed with grommets we charge $5 p.s.f. so we'd be about $217 for that. If your market can bear $7.39 p.s.f. then by all means get it, I don't think it's an outrageous price (well, it is for Dayton, OH), but banners are a commodity, there's always...
  2. Live & Learn...

    We've had so many mechanical drives fail on us that we've been using (or replacing them with) solid state drives. The warranties are much better and supposedly they'll outlast mechanical drives significantly. They're also a lot faster. We still back everything up, but having to restore is a pain.
  3. 24" Retractable Banner Stand

    Orbus will have them.
  4. Avery MPI 1005 Supercast ez rs printing problems

    45? Wow, on our Epson we have to run it at about 36 max or we get buckling and head strikes. Just goes to show you how different every printer is...
  5. Avery MPI 1005 Supercast ez rs printing problems

    We found the new LTR stuff is extremely sensitive to heat, much much more so than the previous iteration of 1005EZrs. If you're seeing roller marks, more than likely your heat is too high, try turning it down until the marks go away.
  6. I hate my landlord, can someone help

    Mine have always said they can enter without notice in the event of an emergency only. In the instance I mentioned previously in which I was able to break the lease, my alarm was set off in the middle of the night because the landlord decided he wanted to go in and snoop around. The police...
  7. I hate my landlord, can someone help

    It's been in every lease I've ever signed (usually 48 hours, sometimes 72 hours notice). I was actually able to break a lease because a landlord came in our space multiple times without notice while we were not present. I'm under the understanding that it's a legal requirement, at least in Ohio...
  8. I hate my landlord, can someone help

    If you incur any costs or lost business I would absolutely take this up with your landlord. They are legally required to give you X days notice in writing before doing anything like this. If they just shut your power off for a week without notifying you or without your knowledge you should raise...
  9. Utility Pole Banners

    What brand are you using? We've always used Bantex Herculite 18oz and haven't seen the issues you're mentioning.
  10. Expensive Upgrades!

    Good to know, we haven't popped the 10.1 update in yet, but if it's solved the .pdf issues that's great. Right now we're primarily a .tiff workflow, which guarantees zero transparency issues, but it can be cumbersome. We really want/need to move to a strictly .pdf workflow but the RIP has...
  11. 18oz herculite banner shredded - city installed - how to handle?

    Bantex 18oz is about as strong as it gets, there may be thicker material out there but you'll be hard pressed to find something with a much heavier scrim in it. The installation is definitely the culprit. If a banner is allowed to flap or whip around in the wind it's only a matter of time...
  12. Software Recommendation?

    Bad Wrap is my favorite, really easy, most of the time extremely accurate, and makes a really nice presentation for proofing as well.
  13. "Certified 1 Owner" car had more than 1. Now what?

    If you're in doubt I'd definitely pony up and go ahead and have the timing belt and water pump replaced. It's not cheap but a broken timing belt will destroy your engine, so it's good insurance. Even if Know it's been done, every time I've ever bought a higher mileage car I always go ahead and...
  14. Epson GS 6000 advise

    I'd have to agree with this, specifically the JV33. We have one sitting right next to our Epson and it's far and away a superior printer. Even though it may not print quite as well or with quite as large a color gamut as the Epson (and we're talking about very small differences here, it is NOT...
  15. Epson GS 6000 advise

    haha, it's true... It's an okay machine, seriously, just not if you intend to put any high production demands on it. It does print beautifully, really beautifully, but physically running it has proven to be a bottleneck for us, and it's not engineered well. The media feed and takeup leave more...
  16. Epson GS 6000 advise

    Welcome. What exactly are you looking to find out about the GS6000?
  17. How do I increase density (ink deposition)?

    Somewhere in the RIP there will be a setting for multiple ink layers, it may be called something slightly different depending on the RIP, but it'll be there.
  18. Expensive Upgrades!

    Absolutely worth it, X10 is a huge improvement over v7, tremendously more stable and noticeably faster. Handles transparencies and .pdfs better (not perfect, but much better). Run it in Windows 7 64 bit and load up on RAM, and install a scratch disk for Onyx and it'll chew through files like...
  19. customer complaining about stencils he asked me to make

    Sometimes you have to take a stand, brother. Don't be a floor mat to everybody.
