  1. Suggestions How To Grow A Home Based Sign Shop

    A commercial store front does not guarantee more sales / income. It does guarantee more out of pocket expense. Not only are you then paying rent but you are also responsible for bringing in enough business to cover overhead, the extra in insurance costs and employee salaries. My company pays...
  2. fc8600 CUTTING MASTER 3 ISSUES

    Assuming you have this figured out by now? I know little about the fc8600 as I just bought one and am still learning. I'm also just learning Corel so I even know less about that. Only used Flexi. I found in CM3, if I went to edit and then to position, I could get the design to cut as it placed...
  3. Backlit Panels

    Corporate does not always know best, even though they may think they do. It's visual. If it's worth your time, I'd send them the proof their way and then changing the A & Move thickness and let them see the difference.
  4. Best transfer method for Frosted Crystal on glass

    Transfer tape is interesting stuff. Works on one product but not necessarily on another. Have you tried wiping down the vinyl prior to applying transfer tape? I'd ask the place where you purchased the vinyl for their recommendations.
  5. flexi 7.6v2 files batch convert to .eps files for Corel?

    I'm not sure where to post this so this is where I will start. Can this be done? I have many years of files all saved in flexisign. I am moving over to CorelDrawX7 and need to grab all my old flexisign files and download them into Corel, but am wanting to save these old flexi files in a .eps...
  6. Completed jobs and mistakes.

    I like the attitude of your employer. They have hired you and a number of other employees to make sure you do the job right, which makes the company look good, which brings in repeat customers and referrals, which brings in more work which keeps everyone employed. Mistakes happen but ... jobs...
  7. Hartco Sandblast Stencil

    Only problem with Anchor is ... you can't get it at this time. If you have any you're not using and want to get rid of it ... I'll take it. Anchor had a flood and they are not up and running yet. Anchor has always been my "go to" stencil for sandblasting so this is a problem for me. I sandblast...
  8. Aging/ailing parents - So thankful we had "the talk"...

    Always sad to go thru this! What a relief you and your brother got involved in this early enough to know what needs to be done. Few families take the time to do this or they put it off until its too late. Or the parents balk at it. We're totally on top of it here both with my mom who probably...
  9. Mobile banking...have you used it?

    That is probably the key ... where you do your banking. I deal with 2 different banks and they are always wanting updates, asking for another phone number and password changes. Every 90 days is what its supposed to be but, I'm not so sure its not happening more often. I usually call and...
  10. Mobile banking...have you used it?

    Seems when I'm in a hurry and need to log into my account on my computer, the bank wants things updated ... I doubt my ranting would go over real well if I had to deal with this on my smart phone too. My frustration level doesn't sit so well with all this online stuff. The younger generation...
  11. FlexiSign file folder batch conversion?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to take years of files, all saved in FlexiSign (FS) and do a copy -batch type of conversion to a .eps or .ai format? I don't want to delete these files, just want to get them in a usable format for a different graphic program on another computer. Opening one...
  12. question

    Guess you need to decide if "the risk" outweighs "the reward" Sounds "nuts" to me, but then what do I know. Bernie
  13. garbage rant!!!

    Take a picture of the lettuce and include it with the invoice you are going to send them, along with a note that they owe this portion of this bill.
  14. Best material for front shop deventure

    Nice building with lots of possibilities. I don't know where you live but IF you need to get permission (a permit) for signs ... find out. What are your neighbors on the commercial side of the property using? If you're using it for your business, I think your business name and information such...
  15. Will this affect the wall wrapping industry?

    Its been tested for how many years to prove its worth?
  16. Input on Sign Construction Design

    He thought "he'd do it his way" .... Putting up something that foolish to begin with, reminds me that "just because he's a builder does not mean he has any common sense". Bernie
  17. Monarch Butterfles - Anybody raising them?

    Good site JB! I remember as a kid having butterflies everywhere. Don't see many these days so when I do, I take the time to watch them. Bernie
  18. Husband broke his back

    This most definitely will hit you guys hard. Sorry to hear this as its the pits running a business as a one person shop and having something like this happen. And its tough trying to find someone to walk in and do everything he does. Keep moving forward, stay focused, find out what needs to be...
  19. I'm not sure how to handle this....how would you?

    I'd call the other company and tell them that this is the same way she approached you. And I'd tell them that you think she is shopping your layout / design work so suggest they be careful not to do anything for this lady for free. Once they have the heads up, they can make a decision as to how...
