John, what don't you understand? Did you input your variables for all of the materials you use correctly? Did you calculate your hourly rate correct? If you get the program and just use it as-is without tweaking the variables and markups to meet your specific needs the prices may not be...

For a good intermediate my vote also goes to the General Formulations 201. It's nothing too high end, but for calendered it's affordable and prints very well.

Lots of Eddie Bauer duds to replenish my dwindling supply of publicly acceptable clothing... Extra excited for my flannel lined cargo pants! Also picked up a new pair of Asics cross training shoes and a pair of Merrill trail running shoes, both roughly half off from Zappos. And while not an...

Ratchet straps are about the only option for a non-permanent installation, but like you said, how stiff are the columns? If you ratchet the straps down too tight, are the columns going to collapse or squish in? I've seen some decorative columns like that that you wouldn't want to wrap a kite...

Do they intend to have banners hung in this location on an ongoing basis or is this just a one-time thing? If these will be rotated out regularly, I'd propose a permanent fixture of some sort, solidly mounted to the columns that the banners can be stretched onto. I'm thinking some sort of...

I may be mistaken, but I think Mike at Merritt Graphics runs Caldera, you may want to shoot him a PM to find out. I know it's compatible for OSX but I don't have any first hand experience beyond that, but I've done a fair amount of research into it and if we ever switch RIPs from Onyx it will...

I actually agree, I'd prefer spending $150 a month vs. $7k right up front, makes it a little easier to swallow. Also, I'm not at all opposed to could software or online installations, they have their downfalls, but believe be, running any multi-user program in house across a network has it's...

Have you looked at GraphixCalc? Chris is a merchant member here. It's excellent software and very affordable. A lot of members here use it so between Chris and the rest of us you should be able to get all the help/support you'd need with it.

The shipping company and the dude buying the banners are the same guy. Let me simplify with a timeline: -150 "save the children" banners are ordered and paid for in full (let's say $10,000) with a stolen credit card. You are unaware card is stolen as it is approved and funds are placed in...

No. The whole scam centers on the shipping company. Somebody posted "why would you do business with them without a deposit". You get a deposit, actually paid in full. If you don't know it's a scam it seems totally legit. The catch is, the credit card is stolen, but you won't normally figure that...

Oh wow that takes the realtor cake right there. Just when you think they can't get any dumber...

Why not just buy it printed ready to hang? That would not be fun (or cost effective) to try to vinyl letter a banner that big.

When are they going to do a deal like that on the 60" unit?!? As soon as they do we'll be jumping on it.

You loaded up your printer and took it somewhere to be serviced?!? Haha, that's amazing! Yes, media comp is affected by the takeup reel, but it's also affected by the thickness of the media, temperature, and environmental conditions. It should be inspected and adjusted regularly during prints...

The Royal Sovereign is a great first laminator. It takes some getting used to and will test your patience at first, but they all will. Once you get it dialed in and figure it out though, they're very good and will last years.

+1 on not using it for wraps. I've you've never installed a wrap that was liquid laminated I suggest you do before you buy one just for that purpose, you'll quickly change your mind. Unless your volume of canvas prints is huge, invest in a decent roll laminator instead, you'll be much happier...

Oh, and I want a Banjo.

No, what makes you say that?

Bigger shop. HP 104" latex printer. Bigger shop. Liquid laminator. Bigger shop. Better business management software. Bigger shop. Oh, and a bigger shop.

Do you have anybody near you that does industrial laser cutting? I'd think you would, most major cities have a few of them. Anymore, anything beyond a simple straight cut or anything requiring a nice clear polished edge we just have laser-cut. so much easier and cleaner and the end product is...
