  1. Backups

    I used carbonate in the past, in fact we had a massive fire at the shop and lost everything, but carbonate had our data MOSTLY backed up. Their desktop program sucks, it's constantly failing to backup and needs to be manually updated in order to proceed, but there are no warnings about this, so...
  2. Backups

    I have no idea what resilvering is lol. Like I said in my post, I feel the synology is a great solution for 99% of shops, it's a great "set and forget" machine, that is leaps and bounds better than what most small businesses are currently doing, which is nothing.
  3. Backups

    Honestly, this is the best option for 99% of small businesses, the synology NAS boxes when configured correctly are incredibly resilient against being hacked, and the automated backup options included just work, period. We have a 4 bay synology at the shop that serves all our files to 10...
  4. WARNING TO PRINT SHOPS – DO NOT BUY A ROLAND PRINTER

    I disagree, when we had the same issues with our roland, roland refused to speak with me, all communication had to go through the dealer,.and.ebentually they stopped responding to the dealer. Roland is now a shell of their former selves, and I am.far.from alone in thinking that.
  5. What do you say to a customer that complains about every little imperfection in a commercial van wrap?

    Ask him to paint your house, then point out the imperfections in his work... But seriously, explain to him that this is a moving billboard, much like the bit of lint under paint on a wall, it will not affect the durability and no one will notice it. If you post some photos of the issues...
  6. WARNING TO PRINT SHOPS – DO NOT BUY A ROLAND PRINTER

    I'm convinced they were just trying to run out the warrantee period on us, they were sending our tech out 1-2 times a week to get a fresh peck report, that was all they did, our local tech had a few ideas but roland refused to pay him to do them because they didn't believe it would fix the...
  7. WARNING TO PRINT SHOPS – DO NOT BUY A ROLAND PRINTER

    A tale as old as time, we were one of the first shops to adopt the new Tru-Vis printers when they were introduced about 8 years ago, we had the EXACT same issues as you, and roland treated us EXACTLY the same, our local dealer was great, but Roland just stopped communicating or caring after the...
  8. What Exactly Does Gemini do? Wholesale Signmaker AND Materials Supplier?

    My understanding is that Duets are not overpriced in the states, since they sell through dealers, we have to buy from Gemini directly, and are paying to ship stock up from the USA.
  9. Rattle can paint on tapcons?

    Tapcons are available in black https://www.homedepot.com/p/Tapcon-1-4-in-x-1-75-in-Hex-Washer-Head-Black-Concrete-Anchors-8-Pack-24143/334273861
  10. Braille Inserter

    I've lucked out, my 3 largest ADA customers are commercial door companies that specialize in high rise condominiums, they get hired to install all the doors, they put a list together of what they need, then they install them when the doors are installed, takes their installer an extra 5 minutes...
  11. Braille Inserter

    I'm not sure what you mean by this? I've used the raster system for about 10 years, it's a solid system and definitely made us some money over the years. About a year ago we decided to give the quill a shot, we regularly get orders for 200+ signs with braille and the braille was always a...
  12. Braille Inserter

    That's odd, about 15 years ago we lost everything in a fire, when I called accent they sold us a new inserter pen for a reasonable cost since we already paid for the license (which is what the pen is, I believe the patent is on the inserter) I would call accent directly, they are really good...

    This 100% i havnt put the drag module in my f1612 since the day it was installed, kiss cutting tool is 1000% better
  14. New Product Eufy E1 desktop UV printer

    They are treating this like a desktop printer, give the machine away at a loss, charge a fortune for the consumables.
  15. Job Completion Photos

    Can you explain how to setup the email trigger you mentioned?
