  1. employee pay

    Wide open. Do they handle print files? Operate your Rip? What sort of signs do you produce?
  2. Virus Software?

    The best out is Kaspersky. It's a bit more pricy than the others but it has a low memory footprint and is fast, won't bog down your computer like Norton or Mcafee. Anyone that says otherwise has never installed or used Kaspersky. Microsoft released a free one, called Security Essentials. It's...
  3. Collecting money....

    I have 1 Fortune 500 client. They do direct bank transfer for their payments pay on time every month. When we negotiated the contract they demanded 60 day terms and a service level agreement. We said sure but 30 day terms or credit card, standard company policy and we don't adjust it. We will...
  4. battery powered plotter??

    Why 1/2 Hour? A 1500VA unit should do you. Anything above that and your talking $400+ Avoid Cyberpower units go with an APC. http://www.amazon.com/1500VA-Battery-Backup-with-LCD/dp/B002UUTCNE You can get a Portable Generator $200-$300...
  5. How Roland Make Their Printers

    Very Interesting. Now I know why Roland's cost 10k more.
  6. How to profile Raster link 5

    Ya from what i know, Mimaki Sells it as a separate piece of software. You'll have to contact them or your dealer. Why spend money on a crap Rip. I would say don't bother and Purchase Onyx.
  7. Has anyone heard of this company?

    I don't know about you but for me in the past using the cheapest materials hasn't really worked out well. I recommend avoiding shady online dealers, especially ones in FL, Seems like all of the really shady ones are always in Florida. Sorry Floridans! Work with a local supplier, Fellers...
  8. OMG, How Do I Compete?

    We Get Customers all the time, asking for 100+ Coro Signs. After we tell them that the absolute best we could do is around $4 each. They laugh and say "Man that is way higher than the 99 cent quote I have" "If you have a quote for 99 cents, why did you call us?", "I was hoping for 98 cents"...
  9. Favorite Quote from a Customer Today

    Got this one yesterday. "If we order this sign, get it then don't like it, can we return it" Get this from time to time, Have to explain that the sign has no value to anyone but them and we can't resell it to anyone else, we would have to throw it away, this is why they need to get their...

    Welcome to the internet.
  12. What RIP is best?

    RasterLink Sucks, plain and simple. You won't be able to get Flexi to print good color either. I couldn't, maybe someone else can chime in. The two best rips right now are Onyx and Wasatch. You can get a demo of both. Try them out, see which works best for you.
  13. Help choosing next RIP -- Wasatch or Onyx??

    I should say that the demo of Wasatch has a water mark so you can't use it in production. Just allows you to play with it. The 30 day of Onyx is full version with the dongle, so you can try it out in a production environment to see if it works for you. Also Onyx development is moving along...
  14. Help choosing next RIP -- Wasatch or Onyx??

    If you push Wasatch they will give you a Demo Download. Onyx will also give you a 30 day trial for $100 which gives you the DVD and Dongle. $100 will be discounted from your purchase price. Get both of these and make your decision. Onyx is generally for higher volume shops. It is pretty...

  16. Dealing with Crazy + Angry Customers

    Ok this is a first for me. Really put me on the edge on my "Customer first, Customer service mentality" Threats to strangle one of my employees. Yelling, cursing, swearing to not 1 but 4 of us, including me. He got passed around demanding to talk to a "Supervisor" before my team finally gave...
  17. Who sends "graphics" as a publisher file?!

    SignGal are you all set? I have publisher 2010 for just such an occasion. The new one isn't to bad, it can actually save to a PDF. Pub -> PDF -> AI fix all the crap. FYI it comes with Office Professional, thats why many offices have it.
