  2. Status of Gerber Scientific Inc.

    Interesting. You mention you've been running Gerber plotters for years - are you not using an Edge? There are a few routes you could explore, depending on what you're currently doing and what your concerns are. We're still running Gerber Edge / plotters and have no problems with...
  3. Question Digital marketing a sign shop with no money?

    I know this is an old thread but I'm curious, are you still employing these same techniques and are you still happy with the results? I can understand the resistance from most regarding spending $2500 on getting new leads, but you make a good point - that's a hell of a lot cheaper than having...
  4. Rant What kind of sorcery is this?!

    Paul, first off let me say that I appreciate you and everything that you do around here. My post wasn't intended as a personal attack towards you or the site. I understand that it must take a significant amount of effort to keep this place afloat and I'll be the first to admit that I don't know...
  5. Rant What kind of sorcery is this?!

    It's been a little while since I've been around, and now I come back and there's ads and links spreading through this site like the plague.....? Those blue buttons are scattered all over the place and every other word (sign, in this example) is hyperlinked to Amazon? Wtf is going on here, and...
  6. seeking tips for selling stickers online

    That's awesome man, love to hear success stories like this. Sounds like you really put in the work and it paid off. Glad to hear it took off and you've been able to expand your operations so quickly! I've definitely got some work to do on our website, not driving much revenue so time to get...
  7. Summa F dragging across SAV

    A whole lot of good that actually does....... I've re-mapped our bed a few times and even then, the depth accuracy/tolerances are insane. It will barely cut through the substrate on one corner and a couple of feet away it will be routing 1/4" into the spoilboard. Definitely nowhere near any...
  8. Mystery (Acrylic?) Extrusion?

    Not something you see every day! Laser cut into strips, feed through a router table with a tight radius roundover bit, paint black, return to laser for engraving?
  9. Does Anyone Know What This Vinyl Is

    I hate to say this, but do you really think it's possible that a no-name bundle would be comparable to a 3M bundle when it costs 1/4 of the price?
  10. Moving business need advice

    I suppose it depends on what you want out of this/what your intentions are with the company. Without needing to know your life story, do you want to keep those customers, or leave them in the dust? Depending on your answers, I'd say draft up a letter and send them to the clients you like...
  11. Suggestions Dreamscape alternative for metallic/silver wall wrap vinyl or wallpaper?

    Trying to help out a client with project that originally called for Dreamscape Silver Odyssey wallpaper: https://dreamscapewalls.com/portfolio/silver-odyssey/ Apparently a couple of weeks out for that material and they're looking for something sooner. Any other materials come to mind? Doesn't...
  12. Filemaker and/or SmartSheet Setup Help? Other estimating/management systems?

    Are you saying you regret building your own FM solution? Are you guys still running your operations with a modified version of your FM solution or have you moved on to something bigger? I remember following along with your videos and getting really excited about FM, then I realized I just...
  13. Filemaker and/or SmartSheet Setup Help? Other estimating/management systems?

    You mentioned Smartsheet a couple of times, have you tried playing around with it/talking to them? We've been using it for 10+ years, and as much as I don't love it and am constantly looking for a better solution, we're only paying $30/month for our current plan and it does the trick. We...
  14. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Is this a real quote? Hard to tell sometimes, considering he speaks at a 4th grade level and probably has the IQ to match.
  15. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Good to know, thanks. Hope you get that contracted sorted out without anyone getting butt-hurt, although if they're not aware of what's happening or familiar with the word "tariff" by now, they've been living under a pretty huge rock. I'll have to reach out to ND and see what they're saying...
  16. Suggestions New Flatbed Printer Suggestions

    That's good to know, glad to hear you're happy with the Epson flatbed. How is ink adhesion and cover? Any issues with poor adhesion or some materials showing fingerprints etc? Any substrates you just can't get to work?
  17. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Have you gotten official increase notices on 3M / Avery already? I was assured that they weren't being affected (yet) the other day....I'm wondering when that changed. I know 3M just had their normal unrelated increase but I was told it didn't affect anything that we use regularly. I know...
  18. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    I don't think ND deals with Epson at all. We get ours (epson inks) from Spicers, which I'm (fairly) sure is (or was at some point) a Canadian company. I'd rather give Spicers, or literally anyone off the street money if it means not giving it to Grimco.
  19. Exhaust Fan Question

    We just installed a 130W a couple of months ago and have one of the 8" AC Infinity fans CanuckSigns is looking at. Man that thing moves a lot of air!! It's mounted half way between the laser and the hole in the wall - I would think you want more pull than push, assuming everything between the...
  20. News HP Latex R530

    That's fair. Sorry, I didn't mean to hi-jack your thread. I'm still not a fan of HP but I can see the appeal for some shops, especially if they've been on the HP bandwagon for a while. To each their own as they say!
