  1. No, your sign isn't done yet.

    Same here. I tell the sales people to send them an invoice for storage fees. Maybe they'll come get their sh!t then.
  2. Magnets for Aluminum Body Vehicles

    The same way they keep the vehicle clean. They don't.
  3. Magnets for Aluminum Body Vehicles

    Glass Adhere works, laminated they are fairly thick and can last quite a while.
  4. How anal are you.......... ??

    Who dials anymore? Well, every time our phone rings I'm pretty sure someone dialed our number. And none of our signs, business cards, or website say "DIAL" or "CALL". It's implied by the phone number.
  5. fc 8600 question

    I do this exact thing! Didn't know if anyone else does this or not.
  6. Is it OK to turn down work?

    Perfectly ok....we turn down many jobs. If we don't make it, can't install it, then we don't quote it. Too much headache outsourcing everything. We have PLENTY in house work to keep us busy.
  7. How anal are you.......... ??

    More that drives me crazy - customers who insist on adding "Call: " or "Telephone:" before the phone number on a sign. Drives me nuts....most people know that 10 digit number with hyphens is USUALLY a phone number and meant for dialing. I'll leave it off to save space and normally they are ok...
  8. Please convert all fonts when creating your pdf's

    Same here.... best workaround is opening in PS, saving out a new PDF. Photoshop might ask for the fonts but will display them until you try to edit any text.
  9. Suggestions Wall Graphics- Design, Material, Install Discussion

    Give Panorama Wall & Walk a try...it's used for floor graphics (carpet, concrete, etc.) but I've done some tests on walls and it's great. Sticks really well. I have not tested long term as far as removal yet, but that's not usually my worry. These days it's getting something to STICK. Also it is...
  10. Need Help Is coro-platics sign profitable?

    Give him a break, he's Canadian, eh.
  11. Color codes given are always conflicting

    And what are the odds the LAST place that did them didn't print them the 'correct' color that the file was. Yours may have been right and the previous ones were wrong.
  12. Roland SOLJET SC-545EX

    And if you do down right left up down right left - circle square circle square you get unlimited lives! :)
  13. Help Settle an Argument Regarding Ordering Panfaces

    Yes this. And take a straight on photo. In the words of one of my favorite shows (Letterkenny)... "figure it out"
  14. Very large run of 2” round stickers/labels help

    Yes it's easy to do yourself....but it ties up a plotter for a very long time, and your printer, if you only have one. I'd sub it out even having multiple printers. That's also lots of man hours weeding and slicing to strips if they want them. I estimate over 133 full 54" sheets at 10' long runs...
  15. Handicap Parking signs

    3" Letters? I don't think so. I've done a ton of them and 2" is about the max you can go on that little sign, just for RESERVED PARKING and the like. Some are less depending on the amount of verbiage.
  16. Partial Wrap - HELP

    OOOOH you picked a doozy for a first wrap. Can't wait to see the recesses after the first month.
  17. What would YOU do?

    Ended up sending them their logo file they sent. The lady requesting it was thoroughly confused, and our salesperson did a horrible job explaining the situation. The file they sent was the entire sign layout with the logo in it, a PSD still layered. She did not know the logo could be extracted...
  18. Problem with removing glue from a Graphtec FC8600 or which ever cutter

    Weird, I just changed the strip on mine and the glue came off easily, one nice strip. It had only been on about a year though, maybe yours is much older. I seem to have to change it about once a year.
  19. What would YOU do?

    I found the logo file they sent us. I had our girl send it back to them. Waiting to see if they say "no, we want the files you printed". NOPE. Ain't gonna happen.
  20. What would YOU do?

    Customer who has ordered only a few signs in the past, who sent their logo to us back then, calls and wants to know if we have their logo to send to them. They want to send it to another sign company to get something made. They claim they can't find the logo file. All we have are the Flexi...
