I have a client looking to do a write on erase board. He sent me an excel chart and I almost fell off my chair when I looked at it. There are 170 rows and he wants to write in them. I told him we can get some fine or medium erase markers but it might be best to run this on 2 4 x 8's side by...

I have no idea where to post this. It is somewhat sign related but it is more about my sons college course he is taking. He is taking a digital media arts program at a community college and gets some assignment wherby each student has to buy a skateboard body (no wheels) and design a graphic...

OK, I get in a pinch and this customer wants 100 mini banners 22" x 28" for his customers to be hung in windows. I wanted to print them myself, but the time was short and I am to busy, so I send it out to a company with a 10' printer and a low price. I told them that I wanted a good resolution...

Today was pretty busy and I stayed late to get some printing done for a rush job due tomorrow. I set up this small job and sent it out. I heard the printer start up and sat at the computer setting up the next job. The printer finished printing and sat idle and I ran downstairs did some...

I do not think I have experienced this before. I had a file saved by a designer here as a 150 dpi tif at full size which was 22 x 28 inches. He brought it to me on a thumb drive and I dropped it onto my desktop. In Flexi I generally have the setting for bringing in files set to all readable and...

Customer wants to know the shelf life of pre cut and masked vinyl. Generally I would think a year is safe, but lately I have been noticing with premask that it can get pretty gummy when I use it to hold rolls shut and it has been there for some time. Should I have any concerns about this and...

how long can I run a usb - usb2 cable? I am using the cable at work to run a plotter but the current cable is 4 feet and making it tight. Is there data loss if the cable gets to long?

Hey guys, need some info here. I have a summa d-140 that is used in conjunction with our Mimaki printer and thats all its functions are for us. In other words it sits idle 80% or more of the time. It's a reaaly good cutter and have had no real issues with it. I also have a graphtec that has...

I worked all weekend and last night before I left I did a 40 minute nozzle wash. This morning I do a test print and my yellow is about 50% out. I also have a low yellow ink cartridge. This is the second time in about a months period wherby after doing a nozzle wash the heads seemed a bit...

I have a new teflon strip and it is nice and smooth. This morning I put a new blade in and it is cutting better but I can still see that it is having trouble closing small shapes. I wonder if I inadvertantly I changed a setting on the display of the plotter. This is what it is set for on...

I had a guy in who needed this little decal to put on a maserati control panel for the airconditioning info. The piece he found at the wreckers did not have air conditioning so He had the old piece and I said sure... easy job. Scan it and redraw basically a square with a cut out circle in the...

I ran a repeat order for a customer, and they are 19" x 48" prints that need to be contour cut. I decided to use this gloss lam that has been here and I want it used up.It is drytac and I remember it was pricey. I cut up all the pieces and used my BS on them. This stuff has such a thin...

I have been finding so long as I keep busy I am fine, but the moment I sit down and check e-mails or take calls, or come on the forum, my body is buzzing and I feel like I could use a nice nap. What can one take to fight this? power drinks? coffee? uppers? whats the secret...

It's that time of year again.... Myrtle Beach for 2 rounds of golf every day...almost. So naturally you try to pick a point where you say to customers, that it cant be done and they will have to wait until you return. Not happening!!! I have heard every excuse so far and it makes me laugh...

A Customer came in today with this piece of paper he had some info scrawled on. Unbelivable!!!

I like using 3M 2 ml vinyls very much, but lately it seems that when I purchase anything outside of white there is so much modeling on the vinyl it begs the question....what happened to quality? I have a 24" roll of Olympic blue that I am cutting up into stripes for a van and the top 4 or 5...
