  1. So I'm In Charge Now?

    I was reading some other thread a long time ago asking about "how to get new clients for your wrap business" and someone mentioned that they would go to a certain gas station that lots of commercial vans used and just sit and watch to see who had a vehicle that looked like it needed a new wrap...
  2. So I'm In Charge Now?

    Find the right mix of equipment, customers, services and prices that allows you to still work from home. If my particular field allowed the work from home, I would do it in a heartbeat. The incremental increase in profit vs the exponential increase in stuff to think and worry about... It's just...
  3. Does Anyone Use Ms Surface When On The Go / Visiting Clients?

    Insignia 11.6" Flex Windows Tablet. $219.99 It's no powerhouse, but it doesn't need to be either.
  4. Does Anyone Use Ms Surface When On The Go / Visiting Clients?

    I bought a 10" windows tablet at Best Buy (Their store brand) for around $200. No, it doesn't have the silly little pen, and it weighs more and only lasts around 6 hours on a charge, but it runs Windows 10 64 bit and I can install any windows program on it. Touch screen too.
  5. Anybody get something cool for Christmas? Non sign related!?

    I like the MG in the background! I have one of those, except I put a V8 in mine. :)
  6. Humidifier?

    I have 2 mini misters in my shop and LOVE them! It’s extremely important to run your water through a reverse osmosis system BEFORE you pipe it to the mini misters. They sell a 100gallon per day Reverse Osmosis system that is adequate. If you don’t, you’ll get white residue all over everything...
  7. What is the best way to make a editable list of files on your computer?

    There's a really easy solution for this. No new programs needed: Highlight all the files, hold down shift and right click over them. Choose "copy as path" and paste into a text file. Done.
  8. Thinking about switching payroll services - from ADP to Square

    Negotiate first? Have you considered asking ADP to drop their prices? A $1600 savings is equivalent to about $61 per pay period. There has to be room in their pricing to drop it down.
  9. Rant: Idiot employees who convert all text into outlines

    We just duplicate the layers within the file and group them together then convert that group to outlines and lock and hide the originals. That way we never lose the original text nor do we have to keep 2 files.
  10. Need advice on a big graphic on an interior wall

    Thanks for the suggestion! Have you ever put this over existing wall paper? At this point I'm looking into the Lind SignSpring system. I can install the track on the existing wall without any surface prep. Their system also has about 5" wide covers that will hide all the mounting points...

    I forgot to mention: The customer wants it installed by next Friday (7 calendar days from today) *shakes my head*

  13. Need advice on a big graphic on an interior wall

    A customer of mine is asking me to print a graphic to cover this entire wall and I've never done anything like this before. The full width of the wall is 28' and the height is 14' The wall has wallpaper on it now, and some damage spots on it from where the previous tenant had a very big...
  14. Wrapping drums?

    Leave the plastic shell on it and wrap over it. I wouldn't worry too much about the lugs moving. If they do, it will be very minor.
  15. Need help CMYK x2 or CMYK -LM-LC-LK-O

    Check your CMYK values for the blues that are turning purple. You probably have too much magenta and it's pushing the color over in that direction. If memory serves me correctly, you never want more than 20% more magenta than cyan. (or something like that)
  16. Vinyl Wall Racks - Need some DIY Instructions.

    I'm actually making racks like this today! http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?67942-Here-s-how-I-spent-my-weekend-building-vinyl-racks&highlight=roll+rack
  17. What's going on over at Advantage?

    I'm sure we'll never know all the reasons why these companies cut ties, but I can surmise this: Mimaki has a problem with Advantage and cut ties. Mimaki has a problem with Grimco and cut ties. I'd say Mimaki has a problem. Advantage fired my salesman and my inside guy and the company stopped...
  18. 3rd party inks for ss21

    What is Mimaki trying to accomplish by making their ink hard to get?
  19. CJV30 cutting order

    In illustrator, it is based on the arrangement of layers. We always do a series of "bring to front" or "send to back" to get things in the order we want so cutting is more efficient.
  20. emailing invoice issues

    What kind of cash flow do you have that you can have 86k in receivables and your response is: "just the way it goes!"?
