  1. Do Latex Printers Us The Same Materials As Solvent Printers?

    Just curious what some of those things might be. I'm new to it all, so forgive me for asking the easy questions :)
  2. I just launched a Kickstarter project.

    It can work fantastic. I have friends as well as customers that have used it very successfully. One customer came to me and was unemployed. 12 months later, he's sold about $400,000 worth of product. So from no job to now having his own machines and selling over $400K in 1 year. The problem...
  3. Chalkboard Style Laserable Material?

    I've never seen that in the laser world, but why do you need that? Can't you use the chalk board vinyl that's readily available and just laminate it to a 1/16" thick piece of PVC or something?
  4. Creepy Animatronic Sign Wavers

    Yeah, no self respecting business would stoop to using silly gimmicks to get people in the door..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zopkn6YYPS0
  5. Removing paint from soft side trailer

    Thanks for the tip Roundman, the lacquer thinner worked perfectly. Wasn't the easiest job I ever did, but wasn't the hardest either. I don't know what kind of paint they used, but it's nice stuff. Sticks like glue and you can bend it all around and it never seems to crack. Someone did a darn...
  6. Would I benefit by puttting in a SSD drive in my five year old computer?

    I don't think they are saying that, I think they are saying if you have cases where it's relying on the HDD or older hardware to do something (slow graphics card), then the SSD isn't going to make it all better. I can't speak for your computer, but I do know the thing boots up and opens...
  7. Would I benefit by puttting in a SSD drive in my five year old computer?

    I just bought a used mac mini that has a SSD and a HDD installed. The OS and all applications are on the SSD and all data gets stored on the HDD. I will say that is it BLAZINGLY fast on applications. It opens Photoshop CC in about 3 seconds. I mean opens, opens, like ready to use. I'm so...
  8. UPS boycott

    Seriously? You equate people breaking their contract with the company to the company moving towards slavery? If you had an employee that walked out on his shift, would you hug and kiss them when they came back to work, or would you call them into the office and reprimand them? Busting the...
  9. Can I sell these legally?

    I haven't yet met the sign company owner that hasn't made something that was protected by copyright. Search this forum for the word Copyright and you'll find threads by those saying they never violate it, violating it and asking if it was okay. I read one post that said they took an image off...
  10. Side to side walking issues on a Seal base 62

    Just an idea, do the math. If it's 1/16" out of square on the cutoff end you load, that's close to 1/2" out in 20'. Don't know if that's the issue, but something to consider.
  11. Can I sell these legally?

    I don't think the car companies are fanatics about using their stuff. It's my belief that the car companies look at most knockoffs as free advertising. Harley and Disney see it differently. I've never heard of a single incident where a car dealer has gone after anyone. That doesn't mean it...
  12. Would you pay 33 cents a day for the newest latest and greatest Adobe Photoshop?

    I wish it was that easy. Cell phones, alarm systems, sign forums (nod nod, wink wink), trade magazines, etc. They all want a piece of my pie. I just have to pick which one's help make me money. If it doesn't make me money or help me make more money, then it drops off the list. If it's making me...
  13. Would you pay 33 cents a day for the newest latest and greatest Adobe Photoshop?

    Plus you can do cool things in After Effects like shown on this page..... http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/ :)
  14. Would you pay 33 cents a day for the newest latest and greatest Adobe Photoshop?

    Sure, but if you're running a business and making money off of your design services, is $50 a month putting you on the cutting edge of making a living? I hope not. We see it as a tool, a tool that's helping us produce product. Just like our router using consumables to make it work, just like...
  15. Would you pay 33 cents a day for the newest latest and greatest Adobe Photoshop?

    I didn't want to do the CC thing either, but I too have found it to be outstanding. Not from a bug perspective, don't get me started on the time frame for fixing bugs, but from the value side, it's huge. Adobe Muse, Premier, After Effects, all amazing products that we now have at our disposal.
  16. Short Rolls!?

    Report it to 3M. We had a roll of IJ35, the very first roll of material we used on our new printer. The material had some weird, random flaws in it. Like a hair that was embedded in the material when it was made, and then other areas that were bad. We called them, they opened a case on it, I...
  17. First Partial Wrap

    Doesn't look too bad for a first wrap. As already mentioned, the black is a issue. My input would be to lose the giant white space around the blades of grass. On the tailgate side, near the rear wheel, it looks like you have 3" of white space on each side of each blade of grass. If you needed...
  18. Bronze ADA signs

    A.R.K. Ramos.
  19. How do I get the average Joe to understand about high quality artwork?!!!!!

    I wish I worked with your customers. Mine don't know what a pixel is. For some circumstances, I've had decent luck asking "Can you see the image on your computer" and if they say "Yes", then I say "Then it's not the format we need". Sometimes they will tell me "I can't open the file or see it"...
  20. How to make my outline on a word or number solid with no lines or "cuts"

    What software/plotter are you using? Sounds to me like it's putting weeding lines in to help you weed the vinyl in smaller pieces. It's a common option in most vinyl plotter software. What software are you driving the plotter with?
