We had an Ingersoll Rand dryer before and never replaced it when we got a new shop compressor. The IR crapped out in it's first year so we have been running without one for years but we really need to get another one. Any suggestions?

I know this is a dumb question but will ask anyways. Are ICC profiles universal or RIP specific? Could an i1 be used in Flexi and transfer that over to an older version of Flexi or even use in Onyx or any other RIP? Can you create profiles independent of your RIP? I'm not real sure how this...

Does anyone have any insight into what they would consider a fair amount vs an insulting amount for an hourly shop employee raise? I don't feel like the old 25-50/cents an hour bump is enough anymore but I also need room for the future without pricing myself out.

What are the limitations of using the Onyx RIP that is included with the Epson S series printers? Can it create OPOS marks and output for a Summa? I contacted Epson and they said it should but they don't know.

We have some 36w x 24h reflective signs that the customer wants mounted on single U-channel. Do you think 080 would be sufficient or do we need to step up to .125?

We have router 1 in the office with a seperate wireless bridge attached and a NAS, the shop has the bridge slave and router 2 inside connected to the bridge. I changed the IP address on router 2, made the name and password the same as router 1, turned off DHCP on router 2 (enabled on 1) and...

We just put some decals on a 2024 F550 and it has the new style door handles like the F150's have which we removed. It has 1 stud to loosen it that's sort of like a jack bolt and this spring loaded thing inside but there's no door linkage that you have to remove or door panel to take off to get...

I'm trying to find a vendor that makes these. It's like a sandwich panel with the top routed out. They do not want vinyl, has to be this.

Got a few jobs held up waiting on clarification and/or files from a few internal marketing departments. Are they all slow? The end users are pushing me but it's their own people dragging their feet.

We have been using IJ40C and 8518 on concrete mixer trucks. Do you think that SLX+ will stay adhered the same considering that these trucks are constantly washed?

We've had this plotter about 6 months, use CM4 and print through Rasterlink. We're using barcodes or trying to but they don't really work for crap. The barcodes will generally not work with anything over a few feet long. When we manually start these same longer files (all 3 feet of it), it can...

I saw the other thread on the 8518 laminate being blotchy, half way through a roll and we're seeing the same thing, it's really bad and it doesn't seem to go away with heat. I opened up a roll of 30" 8518 and it looks like a dirty roller went down the entire thing on the side and middle. Now...

I was just seeing some banner ads here and was wondering, how many people really think out their business names vs those that just throw something together? Is 2 better than 1, Tex?

I'm using Corel X7 and all of my files have the cutlines intermingled in the file, all on 1 layer in multiple groups. Never had any issues like that. I got a new Graphtec with cutmaster 4 and it seems like the cutlines have to be on their own layer. Is there a quick way to find and move...

Is there a source where you can buy or download maps for major metro areas that have zip codes listed on them. Preferably vector format so we can customize them

We use 30" gloss cast laminate over reflective but can't find any. 30" isn't available in all brands, we have checked Oracal, Arlon and 3M. Does anyone have another suggestion?

Am I the only one that gets annoyed when whiny people (whining like I am right now) leave negative reviews for stupid stuff? Assuming most of us are B2B businesses, it's never a normal business that does it, it is always some 1 off jerkoff that you have the unfortunate pleasure to have walk...

I am looking for a job that I can quit.

I am looking to possibly hire someone to do layouts, run the printer, laminate and cut. I'm not real seasoned in typical sign shop job roles, should I look for more than this, less? Ideally I'd like someone that could do it all, put on decals, weed, tape, print etc as I am not really busy...

I know this is a question with many variables but at what time or sq/ft would you expect to need a head replacement? I'm not looking for a definitive answer, just a range. I'm getting banding now and have to clean it more often than the past. It has a few deflected nozzles but not many. Now...
