JUST purchased Flexi 10, so the results aren't in yet. But in the last 2 days, my designers are happy so far (and they're both Adobe experts.) We purchased 10 to give us a second production station to prevent bottleneck. With all the crazy files your (our) clients send, it seems the choice of...

I personally think the future is in "high-def" signage. Basically using flat-screen hdtv signs to display dynamic content (but I might be wrong!)

Dongles, passwords, and registration, & "extra passwords" got my shorts in a bunch this week. While purchasing a 2nd copy of Flexi Pro, I spent at least 5 hours getting all the registration/passwords/fonts/settings, etc set-up. As a sign-shop owner, I think I spend more stress on just...

Besides the great advice on this thread, we found a great solution (but I can't stress new blades and accuracy enough!) When you hire or bring new team members on your staff, you'll find that some of them really enjoy weeding, and take pride in doing it quickly and efficiently. That (to me-...

Aloha and the best luck to you from the Big Island of Hawai'i!

As mentioned earlier in this post, a template is the way to go for every banner size you can imagine. We built a "library" of banner sizes and place grommet marks at every 24 inch interval as well as a nice dark/black border to guide with seeming or cutting. If you've been in the sign business...

Nice job! Looks awesome! Edserv

Although it may be funny, or stupid, or whatever--- You may want to be the "ethical" person and send a response. What comes around, goes around. I personally would send an email back to alert him/her to this, just what I'd do (not that I'm perfect, by any means,) but hey, if you can help a...

We've wrapped 4 Ford Transits (3 full, 1 partial). Very awesome experience. You can check out pictures here: www.tsunamiwraps.com One of the full wraps was for the local Ford dealership, and we've received many referrals and leads from our clients and websites. The first thing we learned was...

Where's the "insta-sign" kiosk with the guy plotting or printing a banner or sign?

After reading the first few posts I decided to skip and reply. First, I would like to thank you for posting a sincere question to this forum. I would like to thank you for posting a sincere thread, and I wish I had the authority to apologize for all the horrid comments to your post. I've...

We use Flexi for all our initial client designs. And we are very happy with importing our client's Adobe and raw files. Sure, you always have issues, but Flexi is such an easy program to learn and use, (if I can do it!!) almost anyone should be able to! One thing we learned quickly- make...

Aloha to Indy! We relocated to Hawaii 3 years ago from Zionsville and started a sign shop here. I hope you're doing well with the snow storm! I have several contacts back in Indy and Z'ville (mostly web projects) and have family there. We miss Indy, but are so not missing the weather. 3...

Forgot to mention- anyone wanting to practice their video poker skills, check out www.videopoker.com. It's a free site that will get you in the mood for VEGAS!

YUCK- Didn't think about the grubby fingers, but I guess that's something that you have to think about at any bar. I guess I'll stay with my home-fridge and Coors Light

We should all meet at Ellis Island for some great (after a few) beers and their cheap steak or ribs dinner.

There are always going to be new technologies and 10,000 people who enter into the "latest, greatest," but there's also a reason so many new businesses fail. It rarely has anything to do with the equipment, but almost everything to do with the entrepreneur, the vision, the business, and (in my...

I like to watch "Pawn Stars" and was wondering how much these guys make (if anything) for the reality show? It seems like they would be willing to pay for this kind of advertising? We drove by the Pawn Star store last time in Vegas- It's tiny. I bet they're selling way more in t-shirts and...

I want one for my "man cave." :)

I guess that's why it's important to go to VEGAS!!! for an occasional ISA Show so we can stay ahead of the curve! Not only can we party in Vegas, but hopefully see some faint glimpses into the future. I was talking with a seasoned veteran sign-guy the other day. This guy started-out in the 70's...
