I kept a seiko and two epsons going for ten years. Both gone now and don't do enough digital any more to justify new ones. Happier without them to be honest. Still, it was nice being able to squirt out anything I wanted right when I wanted it.

Backatcha.

I blast granite tiles for our local Am Legion Hall Memorial Wall. I use iron oxide (80 grit) and a cheap pin gun from harbor freight. I have a very old blast box. I use a double layer of cheap, old, calendered vinyl cut on my graphtec. Ocassionally for very special charity events I have produced...

We have one as well. Thought it was a bit pricey but it is a great tool.

Cheapies. I use the solid felt half moons as well.

Play with your cell on my time you get all the time in the world for it afterwards. Because you will be unemployed.

Told her some people are too cheap to pay me to install and just pay me for stickers and install themselves. She was seriously trashed and stunk to high heaven of cigarettes. Actually stopped in the shop just to ask that when she saw our sign by the road. Life's walking wounded Pop used to call...

Kind of a different horse but you should have just been in the warehouse with me. Some random female walks in looking around, when I ask if I can help her she asks me why some vehicle lettering she sees out on the streets is crooked and some straight. Then she asks for directions to the VA...

I would think any camera that you use to promote your business would be legit.

Yep, at 5" I would think a vinyl graphic on acm with some back cutting if a rounded surface and you could mount it to concrete. 5' is pretty small for a tower plus that high up.

Paper, pounce, old sock and chalk was how we used to do it.

I have used the wrecker method before. As stated, about 75 bucks and its done in a jiffy for you to start unpacking.

Maybe download a trial of cadlink or flexi and see if it works on that platform. A thousand on software beats buying a new plotter

Several years back I lost a bread and butter client that I had for many years to a much larger union shop that took all their work nationwide. It almost did me in but I learned a great deal from it. Sometimes you can be doing all the right things and it still doesn't matter. I had to quit doing...

Absolutely. If not for being riffed I would still be there. Still looking for old modules, so far nothing. I have my old computer from back then, I will throw a monitor and keyboard at it this weekend see if I can find old files.

9800 is a pigment printer made for paper. Stick with that.

I will look. I left my course there when I left teaching. RIF, reduction in force. Didn't have a teacher in the budget the next year. Bang, unemployed with highest of recommendations because I was last hired by 90 days. Funny thing schools. I loved the job though. Had to write the course as the...

blasted granite.
