yea? how long have you had the M1Ultra? what all do you run on it?

wow I can't imagine why anybody would want to DO THAT! but hey, I bet you could get a intel Mac for a STEAL, go for it!

So, I've been really drooling over the Mac studio, I don't know how many nerds we have and how many of those are in the Mac camp, I LOATH windows. Seeing as how coreldraw and I believe the adobe suite runs on the new M1 chips (ultra, ughhh makes me tingle) Im seriously flirting with the idea of...

Thanks! I just did a auto cleaning and replaced black and the cleaning cartridge (both were super low) and I was going to do what you just laid out, found the banding part of the manual lol

OOOOKAY a little update, with my manager on vacation a week and other stuff I haven't had much of a chance to get the new printer up and running but I decided to try my first job on it, and picked alumigraphic to pop it's cherry (which is a first for us in this shop) Anybody have any easy...

just curious: what kind of flatbed cutter do you have?

Let me know how you like GraphixCalc after you've had a little bit of time with it. I'm not sure about software for this but if it's done right it may actually be a good idea.

I always give a range. Always on the installation, seeing as I won't know how long or intense it'll be until we're doing it. And usually I'll give a range on the sign itself as well; almost always it'll depend on the artwork charge. It's been almost 5 years doing this for me and I'm nowhere near...

So, for those who've had or currently have one: anything in particular I should know about running white/metallic?

Alright I wasn't sure exactly where to post this but here's what happened: I was looking through a bankruptcy auction for a sign shop in VA and threw a modest bid down on their epson sureColor s80600 not thinking there was a snowball's chance in HELL I'd actually get it. well I won. So, I...

For 3m CAL. I usually price it at $5.50/sq. For a large Job like that I'm just importing and running, I'd consider going to $4 but may or may not. Yea if someone comes to me with a price I can't DO for or get from a wholesaler as cheap, I enthusiastically tell them "go do it! that's a steal of a...

I bought this business 4+ years ago, we've got a laminator we use for our 54" rolls of printed 3m IJ whatever, to laminate before we plot them. My manager (who's been doing this 20+ years) swears he can't use the laminator in any other way; instead of running the roll to roll where it applies...

Well when you're right you're right! Now I'm deadlocked on what to do: multicam apex1 CNC would expand my business and add new capabilities we don't currently have. But a digital cutter (kongsberg or the like) would streamline our current capabilities IMMENSELY! rolls of banners and digital...

Yea, I guess I just need to decide whether to invest in our current capabilities and make them broader and easier/quicker or in new capabilities and processes…… multicam or esko? Multicam’s cilero series cutters look good but the kongsberg line looks impressive

So the knife system on the Apex 1, how's that work? is that for lighter things or what? I'm torn now, overthinking it really. We don't currently do much dimensional signage, we mostly do vinyl graphics banners direct print stuff, so on the one hand a digital cutter would be something that would...

Ok well in Canada that’s all your gonna do is whine about the problem I assume. But in ole unsophisticated U S of A, that sounds like a business idea: un satisfied market demand

Loath windows lol if they release a Mac Pro with Apple scilicone that’s legit: changing my whole shop over, no doubt

Yea the new move for these pieces of shit nerds is to get in, and wait a while to see any backups you may access and infect those as well. That’s why I keep a cloud daily sync and an external update monthly. If they want to get you they will but we do our best and keep going. Luckily none of...

Wow this is an old post i hope you did pull the trigger i actually am under a month from doing the same! It's exciting/scary and all that. Lot of capital investment that i luckily conned the bank into doing for me but i'm looking forward to all the money this thing's going to make for me. Apex...
