  1. Starting my own Business, Would like help naming.

    Botz Signz, Wrapz, & Graphix Just kidding... I just am not at all fond of replacing letters in words like that. No offense to any of the thousands of shops who have done that. Just my persona opinion is all.... :D Something different? It does not have to be "sign shop" specific. Come up with...
  2. Need Help Is my workplace safe ?

    Its only bad for your health if you live in California..... ;) Not sure what it is out there on the west coast but pretty much anything will give you cancer there. Really though. The exhaust system does not really look dodgy to me. Better than most shops have for sure and similar to the setup I...
  3. 2017 SGIA Expo

    Ouch - from what I saw this morning you should be able to get in tomorrow if you are going during the day. Evening is when it started looking bad with landfall potentially overnight. Have not checked since early this morning though. Hoping it does not cause any problems there but then again, if...
  4. 2017 SGIA Expo

    Yeah I've heard similar. Since Oki, Seiko is not what they used to be as far as support and whatnot goes. I'm currently leaning the most between Mimaki (what we have run since 2003) and Epson but also going to peek at the current Mutoh offerings. Not in the least bit interested in latex...
  5. 2017 SGIA Expo

    I've been to the Charlotte NBM show several times since that one is just over an hour from me. Its much more about decorated apparel and engraving. Last year I went and spent about 2 hours and there was just nothing else that I wanted or needed to see. Don't get me wrong, we are in apparel too...
  6. 2017 SGIA Expo

    It also has struck me that the last ISA show had multiple vendors on here posting threads but almost nothing on the SGIA show next week. ?? Its a huge show too. We are staying in the French Quarter (not at one of the show sponsored hotels). If you are ever going to NO for a trade shop keep in...
  7. 2017 SGIA Expo

    I'm going (also bringing one of my employees).... However looking at the weather forecasts, things are not looking quite as good. Depending on how it goes we might be showing up during a hurricane. I'm looking to pull the trigger on a new 60 inch class solvent machine while there too...
  8. 3M wrap material

    Tons of CV3 here over the years as well but several months back changed up the the newer 180mc and really liking that even more.
  9. Oracle 5600 installation tips

    You need a reflective with an air agress adhesive.... Quite a bit more expensive but makes install 500% easier. Not many choices either.... The new 3M 780MC, 3M 680, Oracal 5650. I'm sure some others will eventually get on board with air egress printable reflective though. Also the new 3M 780...
  10. Subscription Based Software

    We are still hanging on by our fingernails to CS6. On the files that come in that CS6 simply cannot open we just first open them with Flexi and then export them back out as an ai file if we need to get the file into Illustrator for some reason. I've resisted the cloud so far here. Not one single...
  11. Jv33160 usb unresponsive

    Always, just to be sure, try plugging it into another computer first before you try changing the mainboard in the printer. Also try plugging into a different USB port (most computers actually have two or three different USB chips and a different port can sometimes get things going). Of course it...
  12. Again, let's not forget.........................

    Stores here are getting cleaned out of water, bread, etc. Will be deciding in the next day or two if I'm going to tell employees to stay home yet on Monday and keep the shop closed.... Most likely will be unless it takes some dramatic turn or dramatically weakens. I will be out on the scissor...
  13. HP discontinued Pantone color charts in HP Flexi Sign Pro Software?!?!?!?!!

    LOL...... Only thing I can recommend is if anyone else has this HP version would be to go the install folder and make a backup of the Pantone tables asap. Then after an update removes them just copy them back in again.
  14. New Océ Colorado 1640

    I was also very interested in the new OCE but now even their official brochures, etc do clearly state that its no good for wraps which we do a ton of. Quoted also to say that on the HP, it does not have 7 colors, those are 4 color. Light colors are not different or additional colors and add...
  15. Need Help Help-Can I use this logo?

    What many also fail to consider is that say the mark is yours. Your company has spent many many years developing the brand and the worldwide recognition of the brand that you created. Now someone is going to copy your work and profit from your work. Me, if you are going to just copy my work to...
  16. Flexi 12 Update to Sp3 p1 build 2568

    Got me thinking. Going to fiddle with some settings.... always smart to do while things are printing right? lol Well...... I remembered there is a "theme" setting in the general PM options. That did not do anything. Fiddled with Windows display settings.... no help. Then back in PM I right...
  17. Third Issue With Our L560

    No machine we have had in the past 14 years has this been an issue and when you are printing on $2200 rolls of 3M 680 CR reflective, every foot counts. At least for me anyways. I'm not too fond of tossing $14+ per linear foot of material in the garbage just cause... Glad to hear some of ya'll...
  18. Flexi 12 Update to Sp3 p1 build 2568

    No idea.... this is what ours looks like right now. JV33 has a print job running on it about halfway through (part2 - one we have been printing over and over for months). I can right click and see the field chooser but nothing seems to show what the job progress is. Does not matter which machine...
  19. Flexi 12 Update to Sp3 p1 build 2568

    Nice.... Seems to be working fine for us so far. One issue that is bugging us to ne end though is production manager no longer shows the percentage complete on printing or RIP jobs. I cannot see where I can see that in PM at all. If we send a job from Designer you CAN see the percentage in the...
  20. Flexi 12 Update to Sp3 p1 build 2568

    So..... on opening Flexi today its prompting for an update. Gives a link to the release notes page but the page has not been updated. So the page just says the update is for adding HP latex support for the 560 and 570 which is build 2374 which is an older update. The last update that we were...
