After over a number years of running and scraching the surface to learn this great and interesting trade, medical issues and family considerations forced us to sell our business. Thanks to Fred for his advice, and thank you to everyone else who has offered help and support over the years. The...

Looking at the posibility of a competitor who is going to sell off her business in pieces as she has been unable to sell it as an operating business. So I will have the opportunity to purchase the roll stock, substrates, and files. For the right price this could be a big bonus for us, but...

I have a file from a GA who put the file over the top of template so that she could line up all the text on the wrap. Have the shop in PS, but cannot remove the tempate layer, and of course she is gone for the weekend. Need to get printing on this, but need to remove the template to do it...

While cleaning the shop this weekend and doing inventory I came across a vinyl slitter for making stripes. It is designed to mounted on a bench and has several adjustable knives. You pull the vinyl thru it, and there you have the stripes. I think I bought from Fellers (I have no idea why I...

Lately we have been getting a lot of phone calls asking for quotes for wraps. Good and bad news, good - interest appears to be increasing, bad most do not know what they want. The issue I have is without seeing what the vehicle is so I can find out what they really want to cover and talk to...

Never had to ask for font help, grrrr, but am drawing a complete blank here. Thanks in advance, Hal

I have a potential order of 1500 small digital prints, all the same background, but each one will need a different name on them. Is there a function in Corel (have X4) or Flexi that I can load up the names and it will automaticaly chage the names each time I print? thanks

Started as standard encoder problems, skewed printing, so two weeks ago replaced the encoder strip (new out of bag), and worked fine, then same problem with the printing, so cleaned the strip to no avail, turned it over and calibrated, and started printing in the morning, printing great, ran...

Looked at one of the trucks that have a box on the back that have scrolling advertisements sides and front as well as back. The truck also can be opened up so merchandise can be on display in it. The owner asked me if we can print the graphics for his truck when he sells the advertising space. I...

This is becoming a larger issue. We currently have a color swatch printed out on banner and vinyl material that we reference to, and have the client say what color they want then design with that color. We do not have the monitor calibrated to it so we have to be sure of the color that will...

Well another desktop ink jet printer bit the dust today, while cheap and the cartriges are not bad pricewise compared to the laser 2600 we use for proofs, they don't last long. Add to that when the ink jet printer is replaced it is yet another style of ink cassett! Currently we have 4...

While laminating a lot of panels this afternoon reached towards the speed control knob and got a large static electricty discharge, stopped the Laminator cold! I checked the fuses, both ok, fiddled with the knob by turning up all the way, and now it is running again, but slower than before...

Wondering how many shops have their clip art collections available for customers to look thru at their front counter. We have a small portion of the clip art up front, but most is at the design computer. If you do have it out, is it readily available, or do you bring it out only for some...

Recently at a trade show saw some great looking glossy retractable banners. They were printed on an Epson (not solvent per vendor). We have a Roland SP540 eco solvent printer, and todate the only thing that we get a decent result on is the POP 200 from Fellers. It is a mat finish and I would...
