Estimate is still in business. We have used it now for the last 10 years. They have responsive tech support, they just haven't really updated over the years like they probably should. We have been thinking of trying Sign Tracker again so that we have a cloud based software. It was one we gave a...

We use Estimate. I asked years ago when we went to QB online. It still does not link to QB online as far as I know. I believe it was due to how the Estimate server is on a local computer & not cloud based. Estimate hasn't really updated much over the years unfortunately. They do have very...

We explain that we are a small shop and don't match online pricing. We are not setup to print the volume that these type of companies are doing. There is no way we are going to be able to purchase the materials and make signs to meet or beat that price, even outsourcing from reputable suppliers...

We use Roland TR2 inks. Checked with our state on proper disposal. We were told to put it in cat litter & throw in the trash. We keep a bucket lined with bags, dump some cat litter in and drain the ink in, then top off with more cat litter. Then trash the bag every so often before it gets too...

If you have the plastic ones, most of them are recyclable. A few are not. Look for the symbol/number on the bottom. The ones we don't re-use we save & take to our local plastic recycling center.

Art Station has the Ford & Dodge. A couple older Internationals in the current 2024 version. They are the templates we use. www.artstation-vehicletemplates.com

Or revert to an older copy of CC if you can and save the PMS swatches, then re-load the newest CC version and load the PMS swatches and you're good to go. That's our workaround. Pantone Connect was a mess to try and use for PMS colors & I believe was going to be an additional cost to CC.

Yes, great point, still very relevant to this day. The CutContour stroke always needs to be at the top of the layer stack and the stroke centered. Another thing that can throw VersaWorks off in reading the CutContour stroke are transparencies that aren't flattened. Years ago Roland provided a...

I understand the color matching. Same here. Although for the critical clients, we keep a print sample in their job folder with their previous job invoice/paperwork for reference to match back to should we need to.

Absolutely! Good points there. We've had some customers bring in graphics that they've had laying on a shelf in their non-climate controlled garage for several years and then want to use them. Dates & we also make sure to notate what the customer part number is, since the part number isn't...

We only send out the exact amount ordered as many of our corporate accounts aren't fond of having more decals sent than are on their PO as it messes up the inventory numbers on their end. We always fill the media with as many as we can print at one time. So if there are extra & it's for a client...

I know this is an old post, but thought I would share our experience producing & installing graphics on a very special plane, The Global Flyer that flew around the world...non-stop in 2005. We produced & installed the graphics on the lower blue portion of the fuselage back in 2005. As I recall...

We use #2 Nickel Fasnap grommets. That's always happened. We just poke them out if they hang up. We get some large format banners sent to us that we outsource & they typically have a few holes still left that they don't even take the time to remove before shipping them out.

That's the one we have as well. Built well and last forever. I worked for another company for a short tone that had mounted theirs on a stand in the shape of a tower so that it was rigged to use foot pressure. It was the craziest, hardest to use contraption to move around a production table. I...
