I'm doing a 10' x 4' window front for a design group. 10 graphic designers in the group. They ask me what I need, I tell them I need the artwork in Illustrator, to scale, and we'd get it knocked out of them. Cool. They got it. Had in depth conversations with them about the options and what we...

Has nothing to do with that at all, it's about principle and people crossing a line I think should exist and that's the ability to not have your suppliers undercut you because they have the advantage of having material costs substantially lower than you do, since they sell you the materials. We...

I'm not suggesting that running a business is easy or should be easy, but is it really necessary to talk to some new people like some people do? Some people are hard headed, I understand that, but in many cases, the tone and nature is just uncalled for. Like I said, it's often coming from...

I've seen a number of people "old sign veterans", if you will, tear newbies designs to pieces, telling them they are no talent hacks that should give it up, only to be followed by posting their own work that looks worse than the newbies work. Only difference is when the sign veteran posts it...

Yeah, I know, but you have to tell it you've replaced it. I know you're not replacing it, I wasn't either.

I might be wrong, but I seem to have had that issue when I first got our printer and I think it didn't go away because I was just taking it out and putting it back in. I "think" there is a process on the control panel you have to go through to "change" it. You might take a look at that. When I...

Ummm....yes, they are. I said we do wholesale CNC work for local companies. Companies that buy the material from the supplier, bring to us and we route it. Now, they don't do that because they've taken the customers from me. I can't compete with them because I have to pay their price for...

I think there's a big difference in someone walking through your shop and starting a sign company, knowing they have the same costs as you, but when your supplier becomes your competition, they have an unfair advantage, they've bought the material for considerably less than you have because they...

I know this has been discussed in a few specific threads, but as a general rule, do you care if your suppliers become your competition? We've done a fair amount of wholesale CNC router work over the years and it seems that more and more material suppliers are installing CNC routers and offering...

I hope so because US Cutter actually sells real Graphtec and Roland plotters.

Always nice to see suppliers competing with end users.

I don't think that's the case. If memory serves me correctly, Fred approves people on a case by case basis, so not just anyone can join.

I think I should just put "I'm new to the printing side of the business" in every post I make because they all seem to start off with that sentence. Having said that.... I've heard mention of printing the gutter a number of times and I had a guy telling me one day that he was living on the...

JDS is in LA. They are in the same market as Johnson. Very similar products and pricing. They carry Rowmark.

Thanks for the help, I found the option in Onyx and read the Summa manual on how it works. We'll give it a try this week and see if it works for our use.

Humm....that's not what I wanted to find out. I'm getting a fair amount of request for small orders like this, under 100 pieces, lots of variety and all weird shapes and without the laminate, I don't think the Latex ink is going to cut it. I've not entertained the idea of doing much of it yet...

Thanks! So it's a choice you pick from your RIP or in the control panel of the Summa?

I'm sure this is about as simple a question as it gets, but I'm going to ask anyway.... New printer, new (to us) Summa S140T, using Onyx V11 Cut Server to profile contours. So far, so good. However, I've got some requests for odd shaped decals that they want to hand out at a trade show. Low...

Is 1 the darkest or is 4 the darkest? Honestly, I don't know.

I can't help you with your specific issue because I'm a newbie, but I have seen the cutter mark darkness setting. In Rip Que, click "Change" on the material setting on the right, then in that window, pick the "Option" tab and you'll see a cutter mark darkness setting like shown in the attached...
