  1. Color issues with my SP-300

    I had a SP-300 with color-rip and I also used corel. I also had issues with colors and couldn't quite nail them down. Its not the best way around it, but I actually printed a PMS color chart on each media that I used and used that as a guide. This becomes a nightmare if you do not keep good...

  4. When is it time?

    When do you know if it is time to add a full time employee? After a long and stressful work week and no end in site - this is the question that is on my mind...and I'm wondering what deciding factor made your one person shop into a two + person shop.

    thanks for the advise, I know mr. murphy well and he visits often. I also do not mind taking a risk. I like the idea of setting the money aside instead of purchasing the warranty - just in case. Decision made!
