    I was out picking up some supplies and my receptionist calls me (sister) and tells me some guy Jim called from some company and insisted on talking to me.

  5. Insurance brokers!!!!

    I am not sure I understand what an insurer broker does. I always felt that they were supposed to work with different insurance companies and get you the best rate. I must be wrong as it seems all the insurance I have is with the exact same insurance company. This includes home / car and 2...

    I f I print on a matte vinyl, then laminate with gloss will it look similar to printing on gloss and laminating with gloss.

    I have always enjoyed watching people doing Tai Chi and now have a neighbour in our units who offers the training. I signed up and will go twice a week for a year. Lesson 1 was interesting and I can see that this will definately help my stress issues. I can also say that for the last 3...
  11. Mimaki jv3 130 spII runs out of ink but no low warning!!!

    I had this happen last week and thought maybe I was not really paying attention until today. I am printing wallpaper and it has a lot of yellow in it. I knew both my yellows were at 1 since last week so it came as no surprise that I would need 2 cartridges. I set the machine up and then go...
  12. Font Rant !!!!

    OK, is it me or has the entire sign world gone Arial crazy. On my drive to and from the office I always look at vehicle lettering or store front signage and I am flabergasted at the amount of use that this font gets. I have never liked the look of it and the kerning always looks like chit. I...

  15. not much point in getting written approvals all the time

    I say this as it is fine for the walk in business or customers you dont do to much work for. When it comes to a good repeat customer, it really becomes difficult to say "hey man, you signed off and you screwed up and you will have to eat the cost of reproducing these again" That can generally...
  16. 20' banner - uh oh print not to good in one spot

    This has always been a thorn in my side when it comes to digital printing. I am currently running 2 20' x 4' banners which are primarily black and red. Somewhere along the 15' mark I see this 1/4' area where the ink did not go down well (possible contaminate from cheap chinese banner material...

    I have a customer who wants me to make a 4 x 55 foot banner. He tells me because it is temporary that they are going to install it over the existing banner that is there now. I asked how I was going to put grommets in to match and he thinks I will go out there and measure them....NOT...

  20. digital printed decals with all cuts ruined

    Not sure the title is very accurate but here is an interesting little story. I had a quick easy decal job for 500 3" x 2" decals with a square cut corner. These were for a reseller and he wanted an inexpensive material. I normally would run these types on a 5 year rated General...
