Ok so when you replaced the heads, anyone who has, did you pay to have them replaced by technicians or did you buy the head and do it yourself? My manager and I usually are pretty handy and have done maintenance on our HP 360, as well as our EFI raster flatbed but, I don't want to fuck this up...

Coreldraw exclusively? I feel it.

just my two cents, I know the guy who used to run Dr. Pepper and he put it a great way: business owners who tack on a fee for CC's or even ones that, creatively I think, post a sign at the register totaling the outrageous fee's they paid just last year, come off as whiney. Like they're making...

So tell me, do you use QuickBooks for your business? I do and one of the attractive things to me was that it integrates with QuickBooks, so I (apparently) can load my customer list and products, and in my mind it streamlines things a big so anyone who started or contributed to the paperwork of...

o_O LOOK AT ALL THAT DESK SPACE!! lol some day..... some day

ohhhh my god, clear desk? like no clutter? Say it sloowwwww lol that sounds absolutely amazing! Yea I have been looking at them as well, the workflow's (kind of) starting to slow down and once the slow season is upon us I'm making that implementation for sure. It's almost daily I'm running...

Ok, so let me ask: anybody had a newer boss unit in the last few years? I know they gave a bit of a similar reputation but it looks like they’ve upped their game, but I could be drinking the koolade.

Once it slows down in the shop I am going to look at this seriously because we're drowning and most of it is because of our un-organized approach. So Signtracker's the front runner for me at the moment, mostly because if I can implement a workflow that allows us to begin a job (customer walks in...

So, currently I have a SUPER old Epiloge laser, 32"x20" table, 50 watt I believe. This thing's so old, there aren't any drivers availible that run on operating systems newer than Windows XP. It's only a matter of time before something breaks for good and I'm looking around at options. Anybody...

offcuts of ACM for example, you can print your branding and half-cut it into a suitcase you can open up with goodies in it. God I hope to be getting that machine some day soon.

I'm watching this thread closely, very interested in how different shops get this accomplished. I have a full time manager, my mad scientist who's very good. We both have bad habits of grading a notepad taking pertinent on the phone or walk in and misplacing it. It's unacceptable and we're...

Yea we don't travel more than a half hour from our shop, lately I've had companies ask for site surveys and one is going to be submitting art for installation and I'll charge double normal price usually because it's ajob I don't do the production on therefore don't make the real margin on...

$200 minimum to get a body on-site to measure take pictures etc.

Ok, I too went from a big computer on my local shop network acting as a server to NAS a few years ago. I already upgraded the NAS to accommodate more storage. I went with QNAP instead of sinology however, and even though two separate tech people recommended it, I wanted to go with sinology but...

I swear I didn't mean to start THIS age-old squabble. I get both sides I was just curious about any newer M1 hardware being used for production and how the people using them liked them. THANKS!

Not a fan of the new subscription model everybody has these days. it's like they don't want us to own ANYTHING anymore....... tin-foil-hat-guy may have a point! lol

REALLY?? And you don't have any issues with it getting bogged down, slower'n hell or crashing ever? I just priced it out and for $1,900 it's definitely worth it to get one and try out before I dump $4 or so into a Mac studio...... Thanks, this is news to me but I learned something!

So what kind of work do you do on it exactly? I figure for a lot of cases the Mac studio maxed out is overkill but, well I'm a fan of overkill lol. Honestly lately with both our custom PC workstations we've had issues with coreldraw (our program of choice) after working for a bit with big files...

Wow a lot of info here to follow up on. Thanks all! Signtracker looks really intriguing, I'm going to look into that. As it stands now, we run on physical paperwork: each job starts with usually a note from the initial interaction with the customer, or printed email however the dialogue starts...

This very well could have been covered in one or more posts but I am curious: when a customer places an official order, what's your guys' process for putting the order into production and keeping track of all the jobs currently in need of producing in your shop? I ask this because it's becoming...
