  1. Waste Ink

    A lot depends on where you're at. Every jurisdiction has their own regulations, and in some even throwing your spent ink cartridges in the dumpster is a no-no. Here it's legal to dispose of inks, paints, etc, as long as they're a solid, whether you pour them into kitty litter, or onto cardboard...
  2. AliExpress? dx4printheads is it legit?

    You're one of the lucky ones. For every success story, there are just as many, if not more failures like the experience I had. The issue is you're gambling on what you're getting. It's the same with vinyls, or anything else, there are hundreds of different sellers on these Chinese sites with...
  3. AliExpress? dx4printheads is it legit?

    If they're genuine, I liken it to buying from batches that didn't pass QC, that someone ran out the back door with and is selling. If they're knock-offs, there's always something not to spec, different, cheaper materials used to cut cost. It's a crap-shoot, you might get good ones, most likely...
  4. Sign Install...

    Stacy, I used to do window graphics for Element Mobile stores when they were still around, they changed them every holiday for different sales. I'd be out all over central Wisco in -20 temps hanging perf. It'll stick in our current temps, but might be a little stiff. I used to use a salamander...
  5. Anyone know where to get these?

    Every place on line sells em' in only a few standard sizes, and printed. We need alternate sizes with different verbiage for different locations... The usual PITA requests. So I figured there has to be someone on here who does acrylic bending, and I'll just letter or decal them.
  6. Anyone know where to get these?

    Thank you! I will do that on Monday... Done for the week for Thanksgiving.
  7. Anyone know where to get these?

    Anyone here make these, or know of a vendor for blank ones? Looking for blank triangle wall signs like this in various sizes (tbd yet) that will be getting custom artwork for the facility. They don't have to be acrylic, but preferred. Need about 25 of them in at least two sizes.
  8. So, how're ya planning it................................................................................... ??

    I almost have too much to do, but when I get done here today I'm outa' here till Monday, yaayyy! Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.
  9. Discussion Slowing down or staying busy?

    Crazy busy. Our poor installers have been into overtime by early Thursday for months, and still have a massive backlog. And we have a couple of big annual jobs coming up. I'm not sure when we'll be caught up.
  10. FYI: Affinity Users, version 2.0 has been released.

    I've been using it for several years, trust me... It's worth it. We're down to having to pay only one single license for Illustrator, and it's more for plugin support for equipment than designing. Still used it occasionally for things that were easier than Affinity, but they just added most of...
  11. FYI: Affinity Users, version 2.0 has been released.

    I haven't found a way to constrain or snap in the warp yet either, something that should be added. I never even looked to see what was new, just started using it. So far everything is smooth as silk. Besides the stuff you mentioned there's an x-ray view in the view menu, like the outline but...
  12. FYI: Affinity Users, version 2.0 has been released.

    Haven't played with all of them yet, 99% of what I do is vector... Designer has a lot of new features and improvements like shape builder, vector mesh warp, you can duplicate styles, gradients across different elements... And they FINALLY made it easy to make things like strokes scale with...
  13. FYI: Affinity Users, version 2.0 has been released.

    That sucks, and usually the kind of luck I have... I've been using it for a couple years, got em' on a half price sale of $25 each when I first got them, so I definitely got my money's worth. That new universal license is $99 till it goes off sale, gets you all 3 programs for all platforms, plus...
  14. FYI: Affinity Users, version 2.0 has been released.

    Affinity released version 2.0. Unfortunately you have to purchase the new version, but It's on sale. Now they have a universal license that lets you download all programs for Win & Mac, and iPad for one price, still subscription free, still decent price in my book. From the little bit I've...
  15. Can't believe no mention of it, yet...................................................... ??

    Doubtful any of us will come out winners... So I guess that sticker is our participation trophy.
  16. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    Don't give my wife any Ideas Gino... That's the kind of stuff that keeps my cardiologist in business, he might go in for a split on that insurance :oops:
  17. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    You ever get up to Wisconsin (god knows why anyone would want to), I'll make you one of my burgers, this one's called the OGB (Orgasmic Grease Bomb). Plenty of meat 2/3+ pounds, lots of cheese, sweet onions sauted in real butter, toasted buns...

    Baby Bella Mushrooms... Tasty little devils too, like itty bitty portobello's, the fork is my wife stealing em'. The white stuff is Gorgonzola Cheese, something I do at home, wasn't expecting such a small town restaurant to offer it.
  19. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    I just bought a house in a little town, under 4,000 people. Don't have gas lines run to my stove yet so we hit a little restaurant down the street tonight instead of ordering crap again. Was somewhat shocked, 14oz steak, tender, perfect medium rare, gorgonzola, mushrooms, onions, and home fries...
