I posted this in the premium section but didn't get any responses so Fred suggested it move to the main forum. I'll have to leave out some information that was in that thread because I don't need people googling the event and finding those details. I have a family member that's doing a...

I found them on ebay for $42 with free shipping. Ordered one and it arrived. Brand new, in box, in perfect condition. Only issue is it looks like the magnets have been stored stuck together for a while, so you have to carefully pull apart the magnets the first time. Says they have 7 left. If you...

A stopped by a buddy's shop and he handed me a roll of polyester backlit film and said he had no use for it. It has no name brand on the core, so I don't know where it came from, but it's a full 150 ft of it. I printed it on our HP latex using the profile for HP's backlit polyester film. It...

This was our first trip to ISA and I have mixed feelings about it. Part of me was excited and overwhelmed by the vast amount of stuff. Really, really cool stuff. Flatbed printers printing 2,700 sq. ft per hour? Seriously? Who needs that much stuff printed? :) Nice package deals for a printer and...

Check us out if you get the hard copy for April, if not here's a link to the digital version : http://issuu.com/signbuilderillustrated/docs/april_2014_signbuilder_magazine_iss/1?e=4465841/7234676 I think the article starts around page 40. We were really pleased with how in depth their...

I saw something yesterday on a trip to see a client that caught my eye and made me take notice. I was at a stoplight and I was 1 car from the entrance to a couple of stores that share a parking lot. I think one is wheels for cars and one is a floor place. Sitting at the entrance by the road is a...

Ever wonder what happened to people on this forum? If so, post their name and let's see if anyone has any updates. I wondered what happened to that guy that was posting beautiful HDU signs. He had the one that looked like wood and woodpeckers actually knocked holes in it. He posted a lot of...

I know this has been discussed in a few specific threads, but as a general rule, do you care if your suppliers become your competition? We've done a fair amount of wholesale CNC router work over the years and it seems that more and more material suppliers are installing CNC routers and offering...

I think I should just put "I'm new to the printing side of the business" in every post I make because they all seem to start off with that sentence. Having said that.... I've heard mention of printing the gutter a number of times and I had a guy telling me one day that he was living on the...

I'm sure this is about as simple a question as it gets, but I'm going to ask anyway.... New printer, new (to us) Summa S140T, using Onyx V11 Cut Server to profile contours. So far, so good. However, I've got some requests for odd shaped decals that they want to hand out at a trade show. Low...

We've had two requests for window perf just today and being new to printing, it's not something we've bought a roll of yet. We're ready to order a roll and I thought I'd ask a few quick questions in advance. First, the 3M versions all show a 1 Yr. lifespan. Is that realistic? The 2 customer...

Now that's how you sell cookies..... http://mashable.com/2014/02/20/girl-scout-cookies-marijuana/

Exactly what's the printer doing for the 7 minutes or so it sits there before taking off. Seems like a lot of things happening, but no printing. I see the head move back and forth a number of times and it looks like it's checking, double checking, and triple checking things. I'm just genuinely...

We are looking at a box truck that has one side that's a soft side trailer. It's a Roland Curtain soft side. The company had someone paint their name on the side, professionally. It's very well done. Best I can tell is the curtains are PVC. Is there a way to remove the existing name? The company...

We got a sample of the Optima Clear Film to try out. It's about a 14mil clear polyester film. They said it was latex printable. I downloaded the profile from Optima and loaded the material. It really struggles with it since it's clear. It's trying to read edges and ends and it keeps throwing...

Interesting finding by the court : http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/08/tmobile-aio-trademark-suit/

I am slightly stumped at the moment with an issue in the Job Layout side of Onyx Production House. In my previous attempts to use it, I have gone to the "Image" tab, and selected the PDF or TIFF I had saved. It would show up in the list, I could check it, which would put it on the layout...

We have a new printer and the guy that's coming to train us won't be here for 10 more days or so, and I'm just trying to dabble in a few things. We're running Onyx Production House v11, and as complex as I thought it was going to be is proving to be true. I've never been under any illusion that...

I'm new to printing, but have been sending printing out for a while. Finally broke down and got a printer as well as Onyx Production House v11. I know there's a lot to learn (more than I can learn in a lifetime, probably), but I'd like some input from you guys with experience. I'm trying to do...

Mainly for Fred and Jill :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr54e0ebKis&feature=player_embedded
