  1. Don't waste time with high quality

    I find a build of 0/0/0/100 to result in more of a dark greenish/charcoal color than a nice, deep black meant to provide the highest contrast we intend in our design/layout. I don't care about a couple dollars spread over $500 worth of ink for four 440ml cartridges which produces thousands of...
  2. Emails continually get bounced back from one customer

    Have you tried calling them on the phone to find out if there is a problem or to confirm that your messages are being received?
  3. Don't waste time with high quality

    Sorry, I should have been clearer. We use the 75/75/75/100 on our flatbed and more like a 50/50/50/100 on our Roland. We use OEM ink in both. Our ION Solara sips ink efficiently beyond our wildest dreams. Our 10 year old VP-540 just keeps chugging along and we really can't complain about its...
  4. Don't waste time with high quality

    While in general agreement, I think one needs to take it on a case by case basis. If we're doing some print-cut decals where the goal is super solid looking colors on larger size letters or graphics, we use high quality. Banners, cheap decals, short term jobs, etc. its standard or even...
  5. Composer Vs. Illustrator

    I knew it had to be humor because there is so little comparative value between the two programs.
  6. Hiring Vehicle Wrapper Cost

    Nope. The print media depending on brand and quality is somewhere between .85 and $1.30 per square foot. On that high end, the new hot stuff 3M product is around $850 for a 54"x150' roll. The lam is around the same price and also dependent on those factors. I'm no math major, but that would put...
  7. Estimates, Taxes, QBooks

    No, I made serious critiques of his conspiracy theory based notions and the false information he is trying to pass off as fact, not him personally. Try putting your biases aside for a minute and actually learn how to distinguish between the two. Actually, I could care less what Gino or even...
  8. Source for Pre-patinated Corten / Weathering Steel

    The theory behind CoreTen is that once the surface alloys finish rusting, they seal themselves by creating a somewhat hard shell finish. The rust quickening process creates a rusty powder on the surface, but we remove that after we're happy with the finish and its pretty much up to the weather...
  9. Estimates, Taxes, QBooks

    Unless you want to get reported for making personal insults and going off topic, just drop it. I'm not the topic and you know me or what my "ideology" is. Aside from being prone to extreme exaggeration, it seems like you are the one with some issues in need of working on. It's a really big...
  10. Source for Pre-patinated Corten / Weathering Steel

    Oooh, I don't know if you're going to get a sheet that size. We work with this stuff all the time and have a really hard time getting CoreTen in anything over 48"x96". We're located in an area with over 300 vineyards within a 25 mile radius and nearly EVERYBODY wants CoreTen incorporated into...
  11. Estimates, Taxes, QBooks

    No, I'm triggered by your ridiculous exaggeration of the entire premise and the introduction of some baseless, factually vacant conspiracy theory about some nefarious scheme to impose 100% taxes on people despite it never being done ANYWHERE on earth, let alone in California. California, which...
  12. Need Advice on how to cut acrylic sheets with circular saw

    That blade is for WET LUMBER and doesn't have enough teeth to produce a smooth, chip free cut.
  13. Mounting 4' x 4' panel sign on parking lot light pole?

    Seriously? Chicago in certain areas is every bit as windy as its moniker. While its not "the" windiest city in the U.S. its one of the windier big cities on average in the U.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windy_City_(nickname) It appears that its inception was a combination of several...
  14. Hiring Vehicle Wrapper Cost

    I wasn't talking about box trucks or mostly flat cargo vans. We have shops in our area doing full wraps on all manner of cars, trucks, etc. for between $8-10 per square foot installed. Media, overlam and ink aren't the only "costs" involved in a wrap job. Most premium cast wrap vinyls and...
  15. Mounting 4' x 4' panel sign on parking lot light pole?

    I'd add, through bolts while being EXTREMELY careful drilling your pilot holes to not pierce the wiring for the lights.
  16. Hiring Vehicle Wrapper Cost

    So if the material, ink and printing costs are somewhere between $4-$5.50 per square foot and another $2-$3.50 per square foot in installation costs are added, does that mean that the local competitors doing wraps for under $10 per square foot installed will soon run themselves out of business...
  17. Need a few Solvent Head Manifold for Epson DX4 printhead ASAP

    Yup. Of course while changing out one of the printheads and all the caps and dampers after hours last night, the little nipples for the ink supply lines deteriorated and snapped off. Thankfully, we had very little to print today and the new manifolds arrive tomorrow. It turns out that these...
  18. Need a few Solvent Head Manifold for Epson DX4 printhead ASAP

    Which supplier ships the quickest for these?
  19. Estimates, Taxes, QBooks

    Well, the article states quite clearly multiple times that he "SIGNED A BILL" which refutes the claim that it was an executive order. If fiscal responsibility is what AF wants, it would seem that a bill the legislature crafted, debated and passed that addressed long running problems at the Board...
  20. Estimates, Taxes, QBooks

    You mind providing a source for this new executive order the Governor allegedly instituted? As well as where it can be found on the official state taxation board? When a person uses lots of loaded words like you did, I just expect you to have something concrete to back it all up with. You do...
