The addition is nice. I like it. Both the original and the addition are good.

I have not heard back and doubt I will. This has happened before and not a one has replied. If it continues, I will not only F-Bomb them I will provide many of their internal e-mail addies to a few spam harvesters and I guarantee to clog their system within a week. But who knows, maybe...

Yes, I was on the computer till about 5:00 a.m. and was wakened by the sound of a wood chipper going off at 9:00 a.m. sharp right in front of my house. When I checked my e-mail this morning (after heating up some left-over coffee) I got an e-mail with a 3 meg brochure attachment from a channel...

I like it, color-wise as well as the overall layout. It has class. Not gaudy, overpowering, nor over-sedate.

No money to pay isn't the issue. Obviously not getting paid at any level is a chance/risk we all take in doing business. I am the only shop in my area that I know of that even employs a HH agreement. Certainly I don't know everyone in my county but I do know quite a few, both old timers and...

Any aluminum suppliers in your area? We have a few and they buy that stock on huge rolls and custom cut. Those shops will round corners and punch holes. That size is extremely rare. Where do the the agents buy? That may give you a lead.

3M's Webpage will give you all the details about their warantee. Specific vinyl with specific printers, etc. Let's pretend the client didn't clue you in on anything. He just provides you with the art and wants a quote. Just by looking at it your internal alarm bells go off due to the...

XnView is another great program. After reading the threads I decided to try and catalog my art files and build PDF catalogs with it. The program reads EPS, AI and CDR and countless others. Here's a screen shot of a file folder I opened. Kinda nifty.

According to FLAAR and a few others the Epson prints die rather immediately in the sun but they produce excellent photo-realistic quality. Indoor graphics are where it shines.

That's almost like using frames. I understand there is a new circle in hell for Website builders who use frames.

Come on down to the dozens of local boatyards in my neighborhood. You will see many scissor jacks in use. I am willing to bet that if you have a collection of sign mags that cover boat wraps you will see the wrap shops using them as well in a pic or two. It's very common. Common sense...

I miss those days at times.

Too funny.

Counterfeiting does fall in the copyright and trademark realm. If you or I get ripped off and hurt by that we are on our own and have to pay to access the court and pray for justice. And you know a call to the local/state/federal cops will fall on deaf ears. But if you are MS, the NFL, or...

Simple solution. Use a scissors or hydraulic jack. If it isn't tall enough some 8"x8" scraps above or below it will help. That's what most shops and boat repair places use if they don't have an engine-type lift or overhead crane available If they can lift my truck, they can easily lift a...

Now I know in this instance the NFL is involved and they go for blood every time...but just the same it is an eye-opener. Fake Super Bowl T-shirts lead to prison term A federal judge sentenced Willie Smith to six months in federal prison for selling counterfeit Super Bowl T-shirts...

There are several estimating software packages for sign shops out there. If you are going to any of the shows I am sure you sill see those guys and they usually have a continuous movie going. The sign mags also rate them every few years.

Game Over

IDIOT SIGHTING: We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large enough motor' on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his...

"(Ans: stop laughing) Sorry, couldn't help myself. Huh? I don't get it?" "Stop laughing" would be what the potential customer inserts in the answer box. Canada? You are from the Maritimes. Be proud. I used to have a little place in Argyle Sound, NS. Even so, the spelling there is...
