It turns out that it was slowing down everything else because I didn't have my stored fonts "indexed". Fivos from FMF provided me with the following instructions, and now it's extremely fast when searching my bazillion fonts: a) Go to menu "Fonts" => "Fontsets setup" b) Press Ctrl-A to select...

Yes, I just updated to the latest, and it still takes over my computer.

I have found that since updating (some time ago) to version 3.2.00 of Find My Font, that it hogs all of the memory - I can't even use my email when it's searching the fonts on my HD. You too? Any adjustments that can be made to mitigate this?

I knew that was coming. Unfortunately if one's competitor(s) are using cheaper media, cheaper inks, cheaper substrate, then it can & does make a difference between getting the job and losing it. As we all know, many if not most of our customers are seeking out the lowest price. I have...

You may want to double check on the courier charge for a pallet. My experience was a local one, but I recall ordering a bunch of misc 4x8 sheets of material last year, and the sender elected to ship them on a pallet instead of 2 or 3 cardboard packs, and the extra fee just because it was a...

For those Canadians also thinking about the Instant One Media, I just received this reply by email regarding shipping: "The problem is the shipping will pretty much negate the savings. It would cost $95 for each roll of vinyl & $75 for the lam. And transit time is 6 days. However, if this...

Yes, this is my concern with the $99.00 products that are also available locally. @ SameDay Signs: Do you not feel that the "Instant One Media" product is equivalent to the other $99.00-a-roll Chinese products?

Grimco in Canada recently acquired Proveer, so maybe that's why. https://www.grimco.ca/Grimco/userHome.action

Seems to be standard right now after a recent jump in price. I got that price from Grimco (who is the new owner of the old "Proveer"), and AllGraphicSupplies.

I've been happy using the Orajet 3651 for some time now, but due to the sliding Canadian dollar, a 54" roll is now about $300.00, and this is just calendared material! Same goes for the 210 Lam, about $300/roll. As many competitors are likely opting for the cheaper $100.00/roll "house brand"...

Yup, they don't seem to realize that when we have customers that display and exercise loyalty, we serve them like royalty, and how their disloyalty deflates our desire to go the extra mile for them.

Yes, I remember a man who ran a sign business here, and he refused to do any work for realtors period.

Today I received an email from a Real Estate customer that I'd done a few small jobs for lately, asking for a quote on one 12" x 48" coro sign, to be designed & produced as a rush job. This would be a laminated digital print on coro, and probably back & forth a couple times with proofs & changes...

Yes, that's one point I failed to mention; it does seem to be agreed that a high volume shop can get away with 3rd party inks, but for a printer that might frequently sit idle for a few days through the year, the OEM inks seem to be the better choice. I'd like to know exactly why that is...

True that. I experienced the banding in the test print within the first year, yet the dealer who I bought it from (who was all gushy making the sale) nor Roland did anything for me.

Good points on both sides. When one hears of an ink available at half the price, one immediately thinks or feels that they might be at a disadvantage on pricing/quoting if one's competitors are using the cheaper inks. On the other hand, as Gino has pointed out, it's a small part of any given...

I had the Tech do it. That aspect was probably money well spent, but Roland really doesn't need to be charging $1200.00 for the part. It's similar to the ink issue; if they want to encourage us all to use the OEM inks, why not offer them at a reasonable price, instead of constantly jacking the...

That's a good point about the amount of ink per year. I'm not a high-production shop, so the number of cartridges annually is not a lot. My new Tech communicated to me that he has always been wary of 3rd party inks, and waited until they had done a lot of testing with this ink over time on...
