lol. :D

Yes, that is the nature of a transaction. It is a trade that both parties accept the terms of. Your employers aren't nice to you out of the goodness of their heart. True. Your employees don't show up to work out of the kindness of their heart, either. Your customers don't give you money out...

It kind of works to the benefit of both, don't you think? Happy, motivated employees equal good work equals profit. Win-win. Ah yes, that is a good book. I have read it. I'd go so far as to recommend it to high school kids, although these days if it's not a tweet or a TikTok...

Wow. Okay. Seems like everyone is pretty pissed off at the notion that sometimes I get stressed out. Haha... salty.

Not constantly. If you abuse and put stress on your car, you are destroying it little by little. And yes, you can always buy a new one. You can pull out your wallet and take cash out and give it to someone else to replace the car that you destroyed. And then you can do it again when you...

Stress has consequences in the workplace and in life generally. If you push your employees too hard they will burn out and you will have to hire a replacement and re-train them. This will cost you time and ultimately money. It may seem more productive to push your employees hard, but it can...

In my opinion, a job that we have a shorter turn time on should cost more. As I said, speed has value to it, and I personally believe that speed should be billable. I'd like to contract you to make fifty 10 foot by 10 foot banners for me. My budget is $10 and I need them in ten minutes. Prove...

I there's a massage parlor I keep seeing billboards on the highway for. They charge way more.

I think that some might think that their procrastination is equivalent to a "bad situation". Some people - you're right - get put behind the eight ball despite their best efforts. Other people let the proofs mellow in their inbox for a few days, avoid being decisive, can't be reached, avoid...

Oh, I'd love to tack on rush charges! I agree with you. It is money on the table. "Well, sir, you did say that you need it, so this little fee shouldn't be an obstacle." But, we rarely charge rush fees. At least much rarer than I'd like. So, essentially the difference between a job we have...

You're welcome.

Have you considered static electricity? The "graininess" in your picture looks kind of organic. If it was a printhead problem, it would be regular, right? I'm guessing that no matter how you rotate the file, that that section of the media always seems to be weird? Any chance there could...

This, unfortunately is a struggle that I am working with. The general attitude that my customer service people have is "Yeah, that'll be no problem!" to absolutely any schedule the customer proposes. Customers roll in with a brand new truck, ask to speak to the owner and twenty minutes later a...

Well... they made their bed.

Interesting project. For a one time use deal, do you really need to do all of the faces of the cube? I did a quick search and I found some general ideas. Is there a way you can make what you're thinking about, but with less material and less fuss?

Yeah, you'd have to keep the plane of the letters straight on. I was thinking like you said, angled cans to give a consistent halo spread. But, this is impractical. Like you said, 3d printing and advanced fabrication would make it possible, But imagine having to puzzle through something like...

Yeah, I totally agree. You could try getting tricky and having the backs of the letters angle in and out, but why go through all of the trouble? A backer board would also mean that you have more control, and could assemble everything ahead of time. Also, I don't know what to make of all of...

Wow, that's good info. I didn't know that. Just Polycarb?

I'm also curious as to the thickness and type of material/lam that you are trying to cut. In my experience, 60 degree blades are best for really thick stuff. If you're using a 60 on typical stuff that isn't thick, you're going to get a dull blade quicker than you would cutting the same amount...

Yeah, something isn't calibrated right. You say this started after a head strike? the tech should have addressed the calibration before they left. Run through your calibration protocols. Not sure what your machine is, but I bet this is something fairly straightforward. Good luck to you; I'm...
