Who breaks in for $50? Bet you it's one of the growing number of addicts. The demand and supply of which are both problems nationally, regardless of what the spin doctors claim.

Welcome Nick!

We have a different perspective; use the best tool for the job at hand. Illustrator for most design because that's what the designers coming out of school are trained to use. We export as PDF for all print, import either directly to print manager or to Flexi Design to apply contour cuts. Use...

Same question as fresh; we use a rotary hammer drill and quality bit; a conventional hammer drill is a toy.

The need to get the absolute lowest price has become an obsession in our culture. I admit I fall into that trap occasionally. I believe that results in ultimately lower quality and support for what we buy. For most businesses this is going to be a key piece of capital equipment depreciated...

The disposable, user replaceable heads are (mostly) a blessing and (sometimes) a curse for HP printers. Color consistency is achievable but depends on regular profile calibration as a part of the maintenance routine. We replace on our 560 heads at 4200 ml fired regardless of what test prints...

We have three people and get by using AT&T celluar based 'Home Phone' replacement for $26/US per month with a standard Panasonic 4 extension wireless handset. The Panasonic system allows intercom, hold etc. and best of all a function to tag/block spam calls. I set up AT&T system to rollover...

We do a lot of wall wraps - adhesion in this order for smooth walls Avery 2611, 3m40c, 3m 35c. Anything more, scuff and alcohol wash or reprime w/ Zinsser 123. We matte laminate most; besides durability makes install a breeze. Finding Avery 2611 just doesn't have the bite for some newer VOC...

Uh, just tried that link and the site is down. Hopefully unfortunate timing...

Good answer Sign Student. I spent 35 (successful) years in print-related sales before a moment of insanity to try my hand in this business. Making an effort to discover a customer's needs and offering options to balance budget, messaging goals, service requirements etc. is sales 101 and will...

You mentioned multiple 'documents' so maybe you should be using InDesign which is tailor made for managing multiple documents. The core command structure is virtually identical to Illustrator. We interchange between Illustrator and InDesign all the time as our business includes conventional...

We use Spike regularly. It saves much time and hassle doing estimates and cost around $500 when purchased. Did so on a large banner project (about 100' wide X 15' high as I recall) and later did a tape measurement and it was accurate to about 4"X under1" which is well under the 1% Spike...

We charge same labor rate to remove as apply. If explained well, customer always understanding. Usually suggest they consider hiring a teenager for $10/hr. (or whatever the going rate for entry level work) since it is a low-skilled job.

We have two collecting dust. Good 1st gen solution with 1st gen problems, but support being dropped and supplies/parts becoming hard to find. With new HP 115 being advertised at $7295 and 315 for 11,995 you can have better inks, new warranty or if you are serious about color, jump to one with...

FYI some insurance companies have online apps that allow you to generate your own COI.

We're relatively small but design is an important part of our business. As a standard business practice we keep up-to-date copies of both CC and Corel which pretty much covers all bases (plus we use FlexiDesign on occasion). In the grand scheme of things we view it as a necessary and not all...

They say all politics is local; we cheer or moan about the immediate effects of short term political policy that affects us personally in the moment. Which is why it's so easy for politicians to buy votes with short term favors or symbolic policies. But our problems are long-term such as the...

I'm with Dan360 - we use that product and since it is air egress you wouldn't use wet application which traps fluid in the air egress channels.

We recently had a job requiring a photo on a reflective sign (about 30), so printed clear (no white ink), laminated cast, and applied to reflective blanks. Looked amazing. Second time we've done that and the first batch holding up well after 4 yrs..

Agree with others, don't cheap out. We've had good luck with this Panorama walk and wall @ 1.19/sq. ft.: https://www.fellers.com/fellers-shopping/cat/white-inkjet-vinyls/sub/floor-street-wrap-vinyl/set/panofilm-panorama-walk-and-wall Doesn't require laminate, nice textured no-slip surface...
