  1. What surface are you cutting on

    I believe these to be made by Republican fear-mongers:ROFLMAO:. I use Bob's rules with non-skid rubber tape (3M) on the back. 2,4,6, and 9 ft. I have also made .25 inch clear polycarb rules (stiffen with a strip of dibond) which is great for cutting between rows of prints and labels.
  2. Guillotine cutter

    I have a Challenger paper drill also- converted to use an end mill- drills quick holes in a stack of almost anything. Pict is of my Challenger 'twins'. Unfortunately they are in the messiest areas of my shop :frustrated:
  3. Guillotine cutter

    Which type cutter are you referring to James?
  4. Guillotine cutter

    Amazon has a number of similar ones from that one to several hundred dollars- I would buy one but I like to touch stuff before I buy. Like I said I have a 30" hydraulic one- this would just be for cutting into eaches (is that a word? I saw it written in a clothing store once) - if I could rig a...
  5. Guillotine cutter

    Does anyone use one of these- looks way better than a normal paper cutter- I think the blade cuts parallel to the paper? I have an old hyd paper cutter from the '40s or '50s that cuts like this (weighs about 1000#) that works great for plastics etc but is s l o w. If it cuts parallel and you...
  6. profit sharing programs for employees?

    We are always slow in winter and busy in summer- best program we have come up with is a percentage of gross exceeding our weekly goal and always a couple of pizzas on Friday if the previous week exceeded the goal- sometimes the pizzas mean more than the money.
  7. vintage cars crashing at nurburgring vid

    Interesting- but I don't think that they were vintage cars in 1970. Wonder how may peeps were kilt in VW beetles- I know a couple. POS
  8. How many cleanings during a 3'x5' print...VP540?

    Not so with my Triangle Inx.
  9. How did you get into sign making?

    Restored and repaired Corvettes for 30 years-sold out and went to a franchise fair and connected with Sign*a*rama. They checked my pockets (apparently deep enough) and showed me all their shops and let me talk to their managers in the Twin Cities. At that point I was convinced i could do it...
  10. Signcraft Pricing Online

    Yes... but this is online! Gotta be better.
  11. WW Sign Supply Indonesia

    Hey- keep it clean, OK? :toasting:
  12. What are your New Year's resolutions for business?

    Ditto website- and get paid for everything (as much as is possible) that we do. We have plenty of biz- we need to make more money on it. I am on Medicare in two months- I may have to retire someday.:doh: Gotta hurry, man.
  13. No Print days

    That should have read 'maintenance print' Colin
  14. No Print days

    I have a VP540 (you too I think? Update your profile) and a SP300 before that (5 years together) and have never done a 'maintenance'- have left them for up to 2 weeks at a time with no problems. Rolands are pretty much bulletproof. Manual cleaning once a month (at most) with the VP- SP was a...
  15. Staying competitive

    I will second this thought- 2 -30" Summas and an Edge with enVision cutter probably 30% and Vp540 70% now. I can count about 120 rolls of colored vinyl on the wall in this (main) room right now- and probably 30 rolls of print vinyl (30" & 54"). If I could cash out for what it is worth I...
  16. Textured Canvas

    What you are looking for is a clear gel gesso(we use medium gel Tri-art- very thick clear that leaves brush strokes.
  17. Summa blades

    I have used JSI supply blades in my Summas for years- well pleased.
  18. What is the longest...

    I use Flexi to set up files- and while I can use sequence plot on my Summas and enVision cutters- I don't believe that it exists in VersaWorks?
  19. Encoder Strip Problems-Help

    I took the plastic door off of my VP when new and haven't had any strip problems. My SP was pretty constant problems with strips and modules- also they improved the way the strip is shielded from crap.
  20. Chevy Color Code Cross Reference
