I'm surprised anybody's surprised by this actually. They've sold direct forever. I'm not sure if they've ever really targeted the small fish customers out there but it's inevitable. I've had them quote some big banners and what not for me before, and if you can actually get someone to return...

If I were you I would just use a "regular" fast drive for your programs, like a WD Raptor, and then put in a much smaller SSD as a scratch disk. I think the performance gains will be more significant that way vs. using a SSD for storage/programs, and it would be cheaper since scratch disks don't...

Tell me about it, I've been flipping through it all day and it's really overwhelming. The good thing is it's written so it's easy to follow and understand. But it's not a book you can casually approach, you have to go at it with the intent of doing the work as the book spells it out. Cool though!

I'd go with the quad core too, especially if you plan to overclock it, then the stock speed wouldn't really be a factor. You may regret not getting a quad core as you upgrade programs. Don't forget to go for a fast sata hard drive for a scratch disk, that'll probably give a larger performance...

The books just came in! Woo hoo, this is an awesome little book. I can't wait to start tearing into it.!

Welcome! Were these laminated (if so, which laminate)? Contour cut? Does the ink bleed right to the edge of the cut? It sounds like the vinyl was still fairly soft from printing when they were cut. This can happen on occasion, especially if you have heavy ink coverage right to the edge. That...

Exactly! Actually, one for me, one for my wife/biz partner, one for our salesperson. We're going through a rebranding/"realignment" phase so this will be extremely helpful.

Just some guy's blog. Ad agencies can submit photos of their studio. I guess you can rate them, not really sure what the point of rating them is though. I just thought it was neat to see the environments that some amazing marketing and creative work is done in.

Ordered 3 copies, and I can't wait to get it. This is a most timely post...

Found this site today, one of our clients is featured on it (Real Art, they're the second post on the home page, we did most of the signage and graphics you see there). Pretty awesome site worth looking through, it just the interiors of a lot of big marketing agencies...

emailed!

Interesting to hear this. I'm starting to think this stuff is just junk all around, at least if you put any sort of laminate on it. We finally gave up on the POPup and just went back to POSpro 200+ for the retractables. We've actually been doing them without laminate as well, I find the...

4'x8' 6mm Alumacorr, 2 4x4" non-treated posts with a 1/4"x3/4" dado groove, 2 30" holes and 4 bags of gravel and you're set. If you can't cut or route a dado into the posts, alot of companies sell metal corner brackets you screw onto the posts and mount the sign in. Don't use 10mm coro or...

Actually, you absolutely do not have to web the laminator up to get a good job out of it whastsoever. You just have to have it dialed in correctly. We laminate literally thousands and thousands of jobs through our RS without ever webbing it up. It's a waste of time and materials to web it up for...

No way would I wrap over that either. Aside from the obvious issue of the unknown substance on the surface, the old vinyl is starting to tent pretty badly over the rivets. By now in those areas it's probably brittle as well, so it won't take much for it to crack and start flaking off. When...

If you do a regular cleaning does ink come out below the capping station into the waste ink bottle? If so, it's not a flow issue. Sounds like electronics, either ribbon cables or slider board maybe?

Check the dampers. Is there any ink in them?

Fellers will make a custom banner bag too if you give them the WxDxH of the cabinet

Home Depot should have everything you see there short of the actual sign face

Onyx. Works like a charm, the only problem we ever have had with it was sometimes it would double-cut the cut line, but I'm not convinced it was an Onyx issue, I believe it has something to do with the file being saved in Illustrator. None the less, we found the solution to the problem just a...
