  1. I've been Asked to be a Contractor

    That was for install only or supply and install? Either way, I wouldn't leave the shop for that.
  2. For Sale Roland XR-640 parts machine for sale - any interest?

    Just figured I'd check here.... We have a 9 year old XR-640 parts machine, not sure if anyone has any use for it. We had issues with air in the lines then ended up unplugging it....so I'd assume head and all ink train parts are shot. (It's been unplugged for about a month now) Boards etc...
  3. Recent problems with Signs365

    Don't use them but being told no one else is having issues would really piss me off. Those are all "them" problems and they should just bite their tongues and air-ship replacements. Customer service 101. 1. Make customer happy and make it right 2. Figure out what went wrong and fix the...
  4. Estimate and Accounting Software

    Yes, good points. I do see the value in their offering but like all onyx products it comes at a premium. For our current size & volume it's just more than we're willing to spend.
  5. When "your" customers get signage elsewhere

    Ha. I'd tell them we'll keep filling it until you get it outta here. Storage fee ya know.
  6. When "your" customers get signage elsewhere

    Did ya fill it for em at least...........?
  7. Estimate and Accounting Software

    No problem! How come your profile is so incognito.....? I was gonna send you a PM but doesn't seem like its an option.
  8. Estimate and Accounting Software

    Like so............? https://www.signs101.com/account/upgrades
  9. Estimate and Accounting Software

    From what I saw in the demo, it would theoretically accommodate other (Non-Onyx related) processes, you just wouldn't have the option to push production files to the RIP. (Neat feature, but basically forces you to store your production files in the cloud, which I don't like) You can customize...
  10. Question soljet xf 640 print head not work

    I'm gonna assume he went out of business since he never came back after this post 6 years ago......................................
  11. Estimate and Accounting Software

    I got a demo the other day, pretty damn impressive! Love that you can attach production files and push right to Onyx queue. Too much money for our shop though, but could see this option being great for a larger shop running onyx thrive etc. ($3k USD set up then $6k-ish USD per year...if I...
  12. Estimate and Accounting Software

    Hello from Winnipeg! I don't have any experience with EstiMate but have been using Quickbooks Desktop Pro since the beginning of time. Do the two programs communicate? We've evaluated a bunch of different options over the years and it always comes down to them not communicating well with QB...
  13. Installing profiles on multiple printers?

    If you're serious about getting your printers/profiles/process set up efficiently I would consider switching to Onyx and getting a spectrophotometer so you can create your own profiles. (We use an i1). Our UCVJ came with Rasterlink and I spent about an hour in it before kicking it to the curb...
  14. Frost material

    Cut file, weed, mask, trim square, apply to glass, collect cheque.
  15. When "your" customers get signage elsewhere

    Don't be afraid of straight up asking "If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason you went with someone else for this project?". I've experienced what your feeling and it does suck. There are times where they simply didn't know you could do that type of work, or when someone else in the...
  16. Wall of Shame

    What size is that thing? Material combo definitely isn't intended for that application. I'd say if it worked before, you guys got lucky. What a about a banner, no hems or grommets and just run a strip of 3M tape around the perimeter and tack it down.
  17. Anyone have these issues with laminated product?

    Another vote for too much tension on the laminator. Also, I found that 210/215 shrinks and pulls back like crazy so we stopped using it years ago. We use Arlon 3220 gloss instead and haven't had any issues whatsoever. Saw way too many failures and signs with shrinkage when we use to use 210...
  18. Bubbles with metallic vinyl

    That's frustrating! Anyone nearby that could just run these for you? I'd offer to make them for you but shipping from Canada to Idaho probably wouldn't be ideal, eh. You could probably get a sample roll/yard of 3M IJ180 metallic silver faster than 30 days, and might be enough to get the job...
  19. Name Plates search

    Also fun fact, La Porte means "The Door" in french.............. That is all.
  20. Name Plates search

    Well I'll be damned........ never have I ever heard/seen the word "rehabilitation" before. I assumed it was a typo....shame on me!
