We had recently purchased two Xerox color presses from abdofficesupply in California. Due to covid-19, since we got the two machines installed by our Xerox tech we were forced to close our doors for 10 months out of 2020 and needless to say...
Just posting and shouting out two reputable Chinese companies that we’ve been doing business with if anyone else was in the market for a Chinese printer. It was hard finding them and you really don’t know who to trust when looking to buy something like this. For both purchases we went to China...
Evening gents,
Ive been working on this software for a few years and I am in need of one or two people to help me test it. Youll find some screenshots attached on what it looks like. Its a web based system so it can work on any platform including mobile, all you need is a steady internet...
After spending the past 4 years creating my own pricing software that we use inhouse I am deciding to go through some of the things I learned while creating the algorithms and best practices for the most efficient pricing estimation. There are much more complex systems that I have worked into my...
My old sign master left me a ton of equipment some old and worthless and some very valuable. Others I’m not so sure, I was rummaging through it and found these things in a box together. Was wondering if any OGs could enlighten me as to what they were.
I recently inherited a shopbot PR 48 x 96. It was my first boss's and he left it to me after a battle with cancer. Along with whatever else was in his shop. I am pretty sure I have most of the parts or all of them just not sure how it all goes together. Shopbot doesn't have any support on their...
Every time I decide to help a client out with a decent design I get reminded of how painfully idiotic they are sometimes. I created this layout and the client came in with major attitude and nitpicked it down to barebones, akin to something you would do in Microsoft word. She paid for the...
We just replaced a head on our Roland but we have another that has been out of commission for about 6 weeks or so, it has been doing its cleaning cycles but no ink has been going through the head. Does the ink affect the ink lines or damper system if it isnt circulated constantly like the head...
Currently I am a production manager at a medium sized sign shop in the Bahamas. My reasons for wanting to leave Are two fold, I recently found out about family that I have living in the United States and would like to be closer to them and secondly, to make a better life for my own family.

Were doing some color change wraps and the client wants to wrap all the door jambs. Is there a standard method of doing this, we normally dont do them and I dont want to stress the material too much and ruin a panel by getting it to go down another say 3/4 inches with all those contours. Where...
Some times not often we get in interior design contracts. This is some recent designs that hopefully we will be doing for the new casinos in the hotel on the island. These are just visualizations of their floor plan that I put together over the past 24hrs
Is there by any chance a book with all the basics of sign making for a beginner. We are currently in the process of training a new staff member but there is a lot of information and we need to give him a jumpstart that doesnt already assume that you know about signs. Is there like a basics...

she doesnt know what she wants even if i try to get a vague description.

There are tons of details in this business and someone is bound to make a mistake. How do you guys deal with the loss.
My old job did salary deductions for mistakes which for some people turned into indentured servitude.
So i saw my first signshop boss downtown the other day and I got to remembering how much i hated working in his shop. Constantly he would ruin my designs and take credit for my work when customers came to proof. And was quite possibly the cheapest human being to have ever lived. The shop would...
So we had a pretty large job to almost 500 banners do and I decided to throw it to one of the merchant members on the site. The color spot and things were going great until we get on the phone with the manager or owner I believe it was and he is explaining to us how he cannot accept our money...

Well, I started at my current job just over a year ago. It was a new sign shop with great equipment, great facilities and great pay. But, there was one big problem; I'm the only one working here. From sale to installation, I do it all by myself. We've landed some pretty sizable contracts over...
So I had an Xacto handle next to a sign and I turned around for a second and it was gone. My shop eats equipment! Turns out it rolled across the table and on to the floor and then again underneath the table between some boxes. My only explanation is gremlins. How do you guys keep track of hand...
