Blade Are you using the right blade? I believe you need a 60 degree blade. Do you have the right depth on the blade? Can your new plotter truely handle the media? Check your manual. Have you tried cutting it twice with less depth on the blade?

It all depends I don't know about those thoughts. I had a printer and got rid of it. Cheaper for me to buy a 4 bucks a square foot for decals and banners. They tell you it is under a buck to print, then you need to laminate (well that is your choice) add labour and waste. I don't know if...

Two things From the symptoms you describe it sounds like your hard disk. Ram or heat are the other possibilities already mentioned. Have it tested by a computer guy. My question to you is why would you do all of this? From the sounds of it at least 10 to 12 hours. And installing this...

Commodity Since when do signs become a commodity? I am curious. 2-3 bucks a piece. Are they retarded? It ain't chick peas or pork bellies. I like the flatbed idea. Turn em and burn em for one year. You need a bit more than 100 k but the idea is right. The next time someone puts out an...

do you have a template for a kawasaki kz440. we are trying to get the original pinstriping on the tank. Thanks kevinlandry@eastlink.ca

Not recommended It is not recommended to print directly on magnet. You risk damaging the head. Besides the magnet material itself is not a very flat surface and you won't get real great coverage. As far as cutting the material, you can score it. Once again you have to place material between...

What is that? Is that a picture of the sky or a small portion of the sky.? Looks like another bad day on the LA freeway. If that was my sky I would move.:rolleyes: Read yesterdays post about file size. That might be the issue.

Height and Distance Depends on Height and Distance. 1440 sounds like it would take too long. My Summa also has a setting for Lines per inch. A lot of times the most we need is 72 dpi. And that still gives qualtiy work. It is not photo print sharp but still strong colour and resolution for...

I own one It comes down to why this machine of an inkjet. Is your environment dirty? Summa Are you print small short run and want accuracy? Pick Summa Do you require long term signage? Pick Summa Are you doing large full colour graphics? Toss up, but I would use a roland (depends on the...

It is supposed to be a sign shop buying group. Has anyone ever heard of them?

Sometimes it is better not to answer Sometimes it is just better to say nothing. This question and the one we see about pricing are up to the individual sign shop. So how can anyone truly answer. Why should anyone on this forum get upset about a question?

Graphtec If it is a graphtec, I was told by the support team that any printer installed on the same system will interfere with the graphtec. So if you have an old printer hooked up take you might have to remove the software and the printer. Good luck

Welcome Welcome and good luck

In this economy you are going to have to fight it out. You are going to have to get lean. Get rid of the payments, crappy employees and get as light as you can. Sell any equipment you can to fight it out. It is going to be long and tough. In the Navy we used to say "Secure for Sea".

competition You are going to win some and lose more. You can't have them all. Competitors will come and go. They might learn after screwing with these vans, cleaning, complaints, etc. 4 vans ain't gonna come in all nice and shiny ready to go. But, in their defence, I have found at times...

Try Alumacor I believe that Alumalite has corrugated plastic. There is a product that I use that has a solid layer of plastic between two sheets of aluminum. It looks great and from my experience no need for outside edging.

`Do both. You may need the money to build your sign business. Take courses in business development in your spare time. People aren't going to call you to buy signs (at least when you start). Keep working your sign business. Hire an apprentice to do your evening and weekend work when the...

Matt is right. Remember we are all salesmen/women in some way shape or form. If you love what you do and want to grow your business, then you have to sell
