Being in the business of conveying ideas through the display of type written words, or hand painted words, isn't it funny that quite frequently spelling is completely thrown out the window in some posts? Is this a by-product of the "texting" generation, because hey, there are no rules in...

I just switched from a regular desk to a stand up position. I've been having issues with neck/shoulder pain and tried a couple of different monitor positions. Now I'm trying a stand up desk. I'm thinking I might burn a few more calories this way as well. I used to have a stand up when i was...

I can send a regular cut file fine. When i send a contour cut command, the laser would light up, i'd hit "okay" but it...

I just heard rumors of a new 3M print vinyl for wrapping, supposedly an upgrade to the IJ180CV3 . Anyone else heard of this or have any info?

Anyone got a clue here - I replaced the pump and capping station. the pump hose routings were just a very little bit different coming out of the pump- but basically the same. 2 shorts, 2 longs. Color head prints fine, black head prints inconsistent and problematic. couple clean cycles makes it...

Can we come to a general consensus regarding the open discussion of pricing on Signs101 ? Does this make sense to try to limit the topic of pricing and our pricing formulas to the premium section? Are we hurting our industry making info like this available to the google machine?
