  1. Epson GS6000 & Mimaki JV33 comparison

    I thought I'd post up a quick thread about this, it seems like a lot of people are considering moving from a JV3 or JV33 to the GS6000. We just installed the Epson yesterday next to our JV3 and JV33 so I thought some may be interested in our initial thoughts and a side-by-side comparison...
  2. We need an updated "show us your shop" thread

    I know the old "show us your shop" question gets asked every so often on here, but I was thinking we maybe need an updated one. We're getting ready to tackle some minor renovation/remodeling tasks around here since January is traditionally our slowest month and looking at those threads showing...
  3. What are your New Year's resolutions for business?

    So, 'tis the season for the New Year's resolutions, I'm just curious what everybody's got in mind for this year? What will you be doing differently? What will you not do at all? What changes are in store? I know a lot of people had bad years last year, a lucky few actually saw positive growth...
  4. T1 line?

    Anybody here on a T1 line? We're considering switching to one from our current DSL. I don't know much about them or how they work, but I understand comparing them or their speed to DSl isn't really a fair comparison. We're looking at a 1.5mbps up/down speed, which concerns me because we're...
  5. fire dept wouldn't put the fire out...

    Someone posted this on Facebook today and it sparked an interesting debate. I'm curious what other people's opinion on this is... http://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/local/Firefighters-watch-as-home-burns-to-the-ground-104052668.html Sorry if this should have gone under NHB politics...
  6. Anybody going to this?

    Anybody thinking about going to the Brand Manage Camp this year? http://www.brandmanagecamp.com/ We wanted to go last year but learned about it a little too late, from what I hear though it's a fantastic experience. We're considering flying out this year, we don't often go to many...
  7. unethical vendors

    Man am I disappointed right now. This'll be lengthy, I apologize in advance, I just need to vent. We just lost a $100k/year client to one of our vendors. This "vendor" is someone we've been doing business with for almost 15 years. We've bought 8 or 9 pieces of equipment from them...
  8. cool video

    This was posted over on Letterville, I thought it was worth posting here. It's worth watching all the way through. It's a 3D animation projected on a building, in the video it looks really cool, I'd love to see this in person. http://www.wimp.com/realisticprojection/
  9. Oh man, banner scam again

    Geez. I just walked back into the printer room and saw a bunch of banners printing on one of the machines, they read something to the affect of "feed the children." My heart sank, I got that vommity taste in my mouth, immediately I knew what was going on, someone here sold this job and...
  10. neat site

    Found this site today, one of our clients is featured on it (Real Art, they're the second post on the home page, we did most of the signage and graphics you see there). Pretty awesome site worth looking through, it just the interiors of a lot of big marketing agencies...

    Help! I have 200 packages I need to ship tonight on UPS and I can't get this damn Excel file to work right with UPS.com or Worldship. Can anyone take an Excel file and convert it to a CSV file that works for me? I'll pay for your help, not asking for any favors...
  12. Another what would you do scenario

    Aaaaaaaaargh. Tell me what you would do in this situation... We have a client we do wholesale printing for, just a little design agency. They have a client that requested a wrap which they hired us to do. They were very upfront with us and said they've never designed a wrap before and...
  13. reinstall Onyx Cut Server?

    Anyone know if it's possible to uninstall and reinstall just Cut Server? It's just flat out stopped working and is locking our RIP computer up constantly. I'm not sure if it's possible to just remove Cut Server without affecting Postershop.
  14. Mimaki Bulk Ink System

    Anybody using Mimaki's OEM bulk ink system on a JV3 or JV33? Their site claims a 45% savings over OEM cartridges which puts it at a competitive price point with 3rd party bulk ink systems while still using OEM ink. Overall seems pretty darn attractive to me. Just curious if anyone has an real...
  15. Here's an odd request

    So a customer (marketing agency) just called. They're looking for 25-50 6' or 8' cubes of some sort. This is for some sort of viral marketing campaign advertising an event so they're only going to be used for about a month. They plan to place them strategically around a city and every night...
  16. Aaaaaaaaaaargh PopUP material

    This stuff will be the end of me. I posted this once a while back but got no response whatsoever, so I'll try this again. What do you people laminate Fellers PopUP material with for retractable banner stands? We've always used Sihl PosPRO 200 with lamex 3mil luster embossed polycarb...
  17. Fellers POPup

    We started using Fellers POPup material a month or so ago, we've sent about 25 banner stands out the door using it. On all of them, we used the regular POPup material, waited a minimum of 24 hours to laminate, and laminated with Lamex 3 mil luster embossed polycarb laminate (the same as we have...
  18. Credit card for business

    Hey all. We're looking for a new credit card for the shop to make our purchases on. Right now we either pay by check or debit card (I know, I know, debit car is asking for trouble, TRUST ME I know). I'd like to find a card with no monthly spending limit, or at least one with a high one, and one...
  19. wall vinyl with dry erase laminate

    I've got a customer wanting to do two decent sized walls (overall 9'x24') with a mural, but they need it to be dry-erasable, meaning we'll have to laminate whatever vinyl we go with with a dry-erase laminate, probably Wypet from Fellers. This is a permanent deal, I've already informed them we...
  20. scanner

    Can anyone recommend a decent (nothing too high end) scanner that will definately work with Windows 7 64 bit? Of all the things I thought would go wrong with installing Win7-64 the only issue I've had is my trusty old Canon Lide35 scanner driver won't work with it and I can't figure out a...
