  1. Curing or "degassing" before lamination

    We've been advised to wait for 24 hours to zero. We've recently had great experience with zero. Of the jobs we've done in the past 8 months, with zero wait time (overlaminating immediately,) we've not had any problems so far.... but that's only with 8 months of doing it this way. We do...
  2. I'm Back!!!

    Welcome back and good luck with your record deal!
  3. Hello from the midwest

    Welcome from Hawaii (previously Zionsville, Indiana!) Great luck to you!
  4. How can you run magnet material through your printer?

    I stubbornly tried to (is stubbornly a word?) run magnetic material through our ValueJet 1204, and it simply gets stuck due to the magnetic material adhering to the dryer. We have a really quick method to apply our printable vinyl or over-lam printable vinyl directly to our magnetic rolls (then...
  5. Help open EPS Files, Please??

    Most eps files can be imported into Flexi or opened with cs3. Currently we have a designer who is well versed with eps/ai files. But most schooled designers should be able to help you with converting eps into ai files or into Flexi. Chris Lets Go Banners
  6. Big Squeegee for under 20$

    We LOVE the Big Squeegees. Buying and using Dale's product brought shear excitement and happiness to our sign shop lives. I've also learned that,with enough research, luck, money, and patience, you can pretty-much do anything on your own. So having said this, I prefer to promote the Big...
  7. A short break from reality!

    Thank you for sharing this video. I would love to find out how they produced this! It's interesting and brings to prospective our development of software and the total reliance we're becoming to the net and systems. Thanks, Chris
  8. Corel Export

    I have to share with you- I was a die-hard Corel user, but using an extremely older version of Corel Draw. When we started our new sign company, all our design input was "use Adobe cs3/4, etc and Flexi-Sign." So I held out for an extra year or two trying to use Corel. (While our designers and...
  9. my printer did something weird today

    Did you check the art sent? We've had situations with various programs where the artwork (because it was in the wrong file format, or outside the page setup) simply didn't send the data, but did make the machine print. This can make the wide-format printer run some blank or weird prints. Hope...
  10. Foreclosed houses....

    You gave so much love and attention to your house, then sold it. You gave 100% control to some stranger, trusting they would give the same (or hopefully better, or at least not lower-quality) of care to your project. Your project. Your project got destroyed. Whether from the "Great...
  11. The Local Competition

    I don't get it.
  12. Location????

    Simple equation: Traffic + Conversion = Sales (and hopefully profit) So, in my humble opinion, it comes down to 1) TRAFFIC and 2) CONVERSION We have worked out of a home studio for 2.5 years. We derive ALL of our TRAFFIC from a) internet and b) direct sales/marketing Our CONVERSION comes from...
  13. Need Help - Printed Vinyl on Wallpaper

    We just had this happen. Our wall vinyl was on an outside mural in a shopping center. We did two "back to back" projects, and one stuck perfectly, and one peeled like crazy. We asked the shopping center to prime the "do-over" with a gloss finish, latex. This time it worked. I think the...
  14. What software

    We still run Flexi 8.5, and are extremely happy with it. We'll upgrade as soon as it makes sense. But we're getting ready to buy 8.5 (not pro, just design) for our designer station.
  15. File conversion??

    I'm willing to try. Email your files to: *** (if they're bigger than 10 mg, I can email you an ftp site.) We run Flexi 8.5; I'm pretty sure we can convert the files for you. thanks, Chris Anderson Lets Go Banners 808-430-6567
  16. Exporting to jpeg

    What program are you using? If you're using Flexi, Adobe CS3/4, Corel, etc, than you should be able to highlight the image and select "export" and jpeg should be a standard. Sometimes if you're using Adobe Photoshop, and are trying to "save as," it will only give you the photo shop option...
  17. Another Pool Company Wrap...

    Great job and congrat's for finding a "nice" industry! If you get any leads in Hawaii, we're here for you! Chris

  20. Qty-8 1ft x 8ft 3mil Dibond Signs....What would you charge?

    Have you researched what other sign companies are charging? I guess, (even though I might meet with disagreement on this site,) what your other sign companies charge for this same service may be of interest to you. If sign company "X" would charge $1000, and sign company "Y" charges "$650", then...
