  1. WIDE FORMAT PRINTERS NEED SERVICING IN SASKATOON,SASKATCHEWAN

    Best printing services in Canada, my ass!!! :roflmao: :banghead: :roflmao:
  2. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    I can't even bear to click those links and lose more braincells, but you're absolutely right to compare the tariffs with the wall, in terms of his understanding (or lack thereof) regarding how they work and who gets stuck footing the bill. I don't have anything nice to say so I won't say...
  3. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Oh really? I guess I should read up on these tariffs to make sure I'm completely understanding how they apply. I've mostly tried to stay out of it because what is "official" today will be different tomorrow, the way things have been going. We're shipping an order to New York today so I...
  4. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    This shit pisses me off. Without getting into politics or US vs Canada arguments - this new trend of Canadian companies slashing 25% off of our sell price to compensate for these ridiculous tariffs? No thanks. I've seen a few companies come up with similar policies and it makes me cringe...
  5. Printing onto folded Aluminium panels

    Knowing what kind of printer you're using would be helpful. Belt-fed hybrid? True flatbed?
  6. Free To Good Home

    Ha, I missed that part. Yes, enjoy retirement bob! Hope you'll still come around from time to time.
  7. Free To Good Home

    Do as you wish with your equipment bob, but might be worth hanging on to in the event of ever buying a replacement printer. Despite it being dead/worthless to you, it still has value as a trade in unit. Just throwing that out there.
  8. Epson V7000 Print Banding

    What you need to do then is talk to the dealer that sold you the unit.

  10. dark print with tooo much ink

    Change that to something not called "High speed" and see what happens. Too dark/too much ink can be a result of a bunch of things. Has the same file been printed before? What does the image look like? Have you successfully printed on this machine before? What kind of media are you actually...
  11. Having hard time with small print

    When it comes to Onyx, they have a ton of resources online. Their Onyx TV Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/OnyxGraphics Their website: https://onyxgfx.com/myonyx/?show=get_started#anchor-1 In terms of physically using your printer, your tech/dealer should have provided...
  12. Businessing is Hard

    Lmao, I can't believe Accent signage or whatever can charge what they do for the pen and "license"....it's highway robbery really. I seem to remember the resin isn't too bad. There is a certain member here that runs one of these units and has for a while, I believe he's been happy with it for...
  13. Businessing is Hard

    Man, I've had more 2:30am starts over the last month than I'd care to admit. Part excitement/part anxiety about the fact that I can't possibly get everything done every day. "Slept in" until 4 this morning, was a real treat but felt like I missed out on the start of the morning. :banghead...
  14. Businessing is Hard

    Hmm, good questions. I wanna say subtractive so I can pop the beads in the old fashion way, to start. There is a cool additive solution out there, which apparently/theoretically can be mounted to just about any CNC with X/Y/Z axis control: https://www.quillada.com/
  15. Looking for PVC or ACM Brushed aluminum faced board for routing

    Laguna makes some badass tools. I almost went with them when we bought our 130W laser a month ago but we opted to go with a local company. I was also worried that I'd end up buying a couple of machines that we don't need/can't afford. I just spent all day playing with the laser, got it to...
  16. Businessing is Hard

    That sounds like fun!! It's crazy what Mimaki etc. charges for those small flatbeds. I can see how they would be fun to have, but for that price you're half-way to a full sized flatbed. Speaking of Co2 lasers, todays assignment for us was getting our new laser to cut out 3/8" thick acrylic w/...
  17. Businessing is Hard

    The first rule of fight club is, admitting that there is a fight club. Or wait... I feel like that isn't right. I feel your pain. We're very much in a different category compared to what you guys are doing (your game sounds much funner) but some days I definitely feel like I don't know what...
  18. Having hard time with small print

    All good tips. I'd also add, and without trying to be rude or unhelpful, that you should spend some time to familiarize yourself with profiles, resolutions, file formats, and how they affect output. The fact that your customer provide a PDF file should not be a concern, it should be...
  19. Looking for PVC or ACM Brushed aluminum faced board for routing

    There's gold in them hills! Super helpful tips in there Mike. You ever paint the returns after? Don't mean to derail this thread but I'm in the middle of doing some figuring myself on a somewhat related project. We're laser cutting 3/8" acrylic letters that will have a brushed gold polyester...
  20. B2B Sales & advertise

    You say it as if there's an app out there that you can just "use" to "produce sales"??? Figure out the target market/demographic for your top secret product, figure out where they hang out, sell to them there. There's your easy button answer.
