"why don't you just give us a design and we'll have our local Boy Scout troop make the sign"... Or: while exhibiting stained glass windows at a craft show, husband really likes a particular piece of work: wife says, "oh, let's take a class and make one ourselves..."...

Hi Jill: I replaced my sturdy and slow 4B with a Graphtec CE500-got a 15" since I was replacing a 15". It's lightning fast compared to Gerbie and cost under 1K which I thought was incredibly cheap. It's paid for itself many times over. It doesn't track as well as the sprocket fed plotter, but I...

If you're standing in a Zodiac while lettering the boat in the water, make sure you have someone holding on to the bow and stern ropes so you don't get stuck under the dock.... C

They are like sharks just circling and waiting for someone to start bleeding. I got a call yesterday in Spanish telling me to enter card number to get cash back from some outstanding balance...My husband got the same call about 3 minutes before I did-we share a cell account and our numbers are...

Just for grins, we turn off the computer and all peripherals at night or if we are going to be gone for many hours. Just an experiment to see if it makes any difference in our electricity bills. It's a losing battle because every plug, power strip, appliance, battery charger, TV. anything with...

I'm looking for a quote on some Sintra letters. If anyone would care to PM me I can send specifics...Merchant members please respond. Thanks, Carol @ coyote graphics

Bob the wet blanket-------- Going green, in this economy, will give your shop an edge. This is the future of building, like it or not. If you can offer LEED certified products, your customers may be entitled to tax credits. If nothing else, you will be offering a product that is different...

Welcome from Coyote Graphics in Bawlamer. C

We had a bad experience with Sintra-used 3/4 " material for a pier sign which we coated out with dark paint. It warped really badly in the heat. Don't know if this is still a problem, but we won't use it any more. C

In other words, if you don't have any of the above, the template function is greyed out and unavailable. C

we bought a used Gerber IVB-20 years ago, used it until just last year....I've no problem with used plotters. If it's working when you look at it, it's gonna work when you get it home. Plus, where else will you find a used piece of equipment being sold by someone who has a solid reputation and...

Some people are a bit tightly wrapped. I'd like to see smiley faces banned, but I'll get over it. C

I hope your wife recovers soon, but ....my o my, what a depressing post. Our customers expect us to design for them and to give them customer service. If all our design and creativity is shipped overseas, I fear for us. Aside from the implications as far as innovation and invention, what a...

Hola and bienvenido! I'm an ESOL teacher as well as a sign painter. Would your salutation be equivalent to "what up homey?" I'm teaching American idioms this semester, and love it when my students bring me new ones. My students come from all over the planet-many from Mexico. Your English...

I'm also curious about what will work with 7-I don't want to replace everything like I did when I went to XP and I've been avoiding getting a new laptop because of the Vista issues. I like the setup I've got right now, but I know I'll need to update at some point. So, anyone from Flexi want to...

We outsource now-used to do all in-house by hand, but could not compete with automated services. The inks and chemicals were pretty toxic as well, so I don't miss it at all. C

You can get a demo from Sign Warehouse or any distributor. You can play with it, just not cut or print until you purchase the license and it is activated. C

Here in Bawlamer there's a really stark difference between pricing just 45 miles down the road: I can get almost twice the price for anything in I sell in Washington DC or its suburbs....Baltimore is (or was) just less expensive and prices for services seem to reflect that. I don't know if it's...

It depends on your market. If everyone is charging $5/sq foot for a simple one color layout on white, it's hard to get more-however, if you are offering a different material weight and can show your customer that you offer a superior product, you can charge more. Are you comparing apples to...
