  3. what happened?

    So, this has happened to me twice now in the past week. I am using Flexi with my HP315. I load up my items to print. I save and then rip and print. When it starts printing, it prints something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Like I've never seen it before. I was printing a window perf for a dumpster...
  4. One up on Gino

    Gino posting his unreasonable customer made me think of a pseudo customer yesterday. I'm still baffled at this one: The guy called last week and told me he wanted a decal for his motorcycle. It was 3 inches by 8 inches. He wanted multiple decals of the same thing because he understood the idea...

  7. probably a rookie mistake

    I have this logo that I print for a customer that I need help with. If it's a jpeg, it doesn't seem to be a problem. But when it's a pdf, I will inevitably get one where the magnifying glass is black like in the attached picture. It does have a gradient in it. But if you notice, one of the pdf's...

  9. acrylic question

    So, I have done a few acrylic signs for indoor, but not too many. Especially now that they are used for everything.

  11. fat heads

    Is there a wholesale supplier that can do fatheads? I did a few for a soccer team this week and the cutting of the coroplast wasn't that bad but they just didn't look "professional" enough to me. The customer didn't seem to mind because it was for seniors and they are onlygoing to use them for a...

  15. Small Printer/Plotter

    I wanted to ask opinions of some experienced shop people here. I have noticed a new market out there in our area. These "pop up shops" that people have. Making vegan candles, and soaps or honey or those wax smelly things for the cars. Those are all great products and personally I buy them...
  16. plotter problems

    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this issue? I have a Roland camm1 pro GX500. Yes, It was built in 2007. I just had it reworked and overhauled and it cuts well except for these spots that I circled on the photo attached. Mind you, this is magnified so it's pretty small, but still...
  17. offsite installations

    Just curious what people's installation fees are when you go offsite and graphics are being provided? Do you use your "shop time" number or more because you are taking your tools with you and don't have the benefit of having all your tools onhand? How much more? Is there a general rule of thumb?

  19. yard card signs and big head /fat head signs

    Can I get a hand held saw to cut coroplast into shapes? Does anyone have a recommendation of a good one? I have customers who want some cut out shapes and I wanted to do them myself.
  20. ok I really want to know...

    Since I've been in this sign shop business, I have had some really unusual orders. Some I've wondered how I got picked to do jobs in the 4th larges city in the nation with thousands of sign shops. So, I want to hear your unusual stories, the ones that stick out. Have you done any graphics for...
