Yes we have to mess with it when windows updates also, but this was a new issue. We did get it working finally. Here is what we found for anyone else that might come across this issue. We were installing the new versions and just opening them and setting up the cutter. Then nothing from the...

So we just upgraded to Corel 2019 and now cutting master quit working. We have followed every step, we have been using corel forever and cutting master for years. CM4 is the newest version, and after install opens and can do a test cut and everything. In corel, it shows CM4 in the launch...

I know a guy that successfully ran his business as an absentee. Not in the sign industry though but still a very service based business. He had 4 full time employees plus part timers that ran the place. He would spend a month in Canada every year and trusted his employees to take care of...

You need to be below the frost line in order for it to survive a winter. Not sure what it is there, but our frost line is about 28", you should be a minimum of a foot below frost line, preferably 2ft below.

and yet here you are asking professionals?........ if the wall is poor enough shape to not hold vinyl stuck to it, what makes you think it is good enough shape for VHB to hold to it? with that said, do a banner stretching system, easier, lasts longer and can be changed out whenever you want.

We have a 99 Ford f350 bucket truck and runs about 800 a year. Which I find not to bad I guess....

phototex has an opaque version that eliminates the transparency issue

We have the same issue when you try to weed immediately. It is weird, but I have found if you cut it and roll it up and let it sit until the next day.... it weeds just fine all a sudden. You can't just RIP it off but it goes tremendously faster if you have the time to let it sit first.

Recently Stahls bought imprintables warehouse i guess. Does anyone know what happened to their materials? I have tried several different things from stahls and my employee struggles with all the materials, we cannot get the cutting depth dialed in, the weeding angle dialed in, i mean i think...

What is the hurry to print it then? If you aren't around to print or install it, why pay someone more to do what you can do yourself when you get back to your shop?

Curious to how big the sign is? Why even offer calendared and cast? The cost difference is what.... a dollar a square foot so don't see the reasoning behind this being an option for the customer.

we have been using Graphic Components and have no complaints https://graphiccomponents.com/

8519 is a luster with a paper liner. We prefer it. Maybe got the wrong label on the box somehow.

Why are you letting the client tell you what your price should be? If they want cheap, they have to do volume, simple as that. I wouldn't try to find the cheapest material for one client. Use what you usually stock and go from there.

We have got good work from grandstand I think their site is egrandstand.com They are retail, I have never found a good wholesaler

The training is a bit to be desired for sure. The tech support system is terrible, they go in and do it while you watch your cursor flip around different things and into areas you cannot access on your own. All in all that is fine, except some of the little quirks are pricey to fix, we have a...

Business Licensing, Business Insurance, sales tax, permits, quarterlies, a/p, a/r, financing, cash flow, marketing, sales, equipment, customer service etc. 60% or more of owning a business has nothing to do with what the business actually does. I see a lot of shops pop up and go like the blazes...

There is way more to it than just coming up with a name and going out on your own after taking a training class...... I assume you are going to specialize in wrapping (after the class), why use the name "sign" instead of wrap?

the stain on the ceiling is from a water leak, not fumes I have run a mimaki for years with same standard ventilation and yes the smell can be a little overpowering at times, but the new glow in the dark ability of my skin is fantastic at parties.....

Again.... your math comes up short. If there are 200 decals... either you are only accounting for a little under half the material you actually need or the decals are smaller than 5x5
