I just got burned for 16 hours and they have a functioning website. Of course was all a rush to try to go live before their big pitch to incoming clients. They got cards, you name it. A few days go by and I hear nothing from them. It's now been a month and I've not gotten one email response...

If you have a semi-professional wide format printer, you cannot make any money on banners doing the whole $1 sq. ft. pricing. But that's the problem with this pricing model. The public has no clue that the guys down the street offering a 3x8 for next to nothing actually have at least a 102" wide...

I used to have a price board. I still kinda have one, but not tweaked the prices to better reflect my area. I really only used it as "Guide" and not the price commandments. This is all custom, and nothing is set in stone. But depending on the types of work you do and the clients you have...

If your bottom lines under the capping station were really clean, you'd get suction. Ink may flow through them, even solvent may flow through them. But I promise, unless you physically pulled out a long gunk tube from inside the drain tubes, you are still not pulling enough vacuum. The ink cakes...

What's wrong with a big messy desk, and post-its all around the monitor? Isn't that the way us artsy folks work best?

Ya' know... I totally understand that. But I really dislike the fact that once people get into digital printing, they think it's the end-all-be-all (panacea) solution. I'm sorry, but it's not. It's just sometimes easy to hit a button, call me old fashioned but I think that's lazy. (I'm probably...

Yeah, but I've had a cutting mat last for years before I remembered I could flip it over. I've had something similar to this: http://shop2012.yellotools.us/Cutting/CuttingMats/CuttingMat-Crystal-66-9-x-1-feet::1435.html

Do you mean "twice as long" :toasting: Otherwise I don't see the point or benefit to changing out my table tops more often than a well cared for cutting mat.

Unless a "designer" has specific hands on experience with plotters, screen printing or other output devices, they don't have a clue. Also, I should point out that 99% of all schools that supposedly teach design and even offer it as a college degree now (something I don't agree with, but that's...

Well, I've been accused of being a genius before, so... :Big Laugh TammieH: *Fixed... feel free to re-edit my quote.

Despite people's laziness, there are many times where a vinyl lettered banner is far superior to a printed one. Yes, it takes a bit of extra labor. But they usually last longer, are far bolder and you can do things more inexpensively, like have a solid color, like a black banner with bright spot...

I should mention that $25 is twice as much as you should be paying for a pre-sewn banner. A 13oz, 3x8 banner from Betty Banner is only $12.95 at that qty. (10oz is only $9.73) This is a no brainer.

Besides, no matter how well you clean, you'll always be able to see the ghosted letters. They will also kind of raise the banner material upon pulling off, like embossing. Plus, since the banner was protected from the UV light of the sun, it will look newer and cleaner under the letters...

This isn't the first time your cheap boss has had you do ridiculous corner cutting projects. When will she learn?

You won't save any money and will end up buying the solvent compatible print head in the end anyway.

They already have, it's available through SignWarehouse right now, for less than $5k, including laminator and supplies.

Having a little bit of experience with the Edge many years ago, and quite a bit with a DC3... I'd go with the DC5 as my next purchase in a heartbeat. Here's why: Print Resolution, multi-pass color without user intervention, Plotter built-in, Summa's awesome tracking, and the big one: INNOVATION...

Yeah, pretty sure you have one of these

Money is nothing but a tool. It's how you use it that shapes life's experiences. But the one thing that I've learned about what money does to people: It amplifies your traits. • Jerk while Poor = A-hole when Rich • Humble while Poor = Gracious when Rich I've never seen money turn angry, bitter...

So... what you are saying is that you are the "Simon Cowell" of the sign world?
