  1. File Server

    I bought one of those hp mini servers when they were on sale and got windows home server on it. Way faster and way more features then most nas devices. You can also use must regular windows software on it like cloud backup software. And it has the added bonus of backing up everything on all...
  2. What would you do?

    the over/unders policy is pretty standard in the promotional products and forms business but you usually don't see it as much with general commercial printing. I also hate the policy. If you order 1000 you should get at least 1000 and if they have too many they shouldn't charge you extra. I...
  3. Any MAC repair smarties out there?

    have you considered just taking it to an apple store and asking them? They should be able to tell you the problem in a few minutes and if its software they will probably fix it for free right then.
  4. Signs2Trade

    I registered over the weekend but still can't get in. It says invalid user when I try to log in and if I try to re-register is says already registered. I never got any confirmation emails.
  5. TeesTomorrow.com Live

    Looks like a good start. One thing I did notice. You have the shirts listed as hanes 5250 comfortblend. 5250 is the comfortsoft 100% cotton, not the comfortblend. I'm assuming you are using 100% cotton if it is dtg.
  6. Attn: Members from New York state

    http://www.thruway.ny.gov/travelers/tolls/calc/index.html use this to calculate your tolls. don't worry about exact change. you only pay when you get off (except when you go through buffalo there is a booth on either side of the city because there is no tolls in the city) and there is an...
  7. hp8000 and windows 7

    I use a hp 8000 with windows 7 64bit without any problems. I am using flexi as my rip. I don't think I had to do anything special to make it work.
  8. Business Card Slitter / Wholesale Business Cards

    Thats a nice looking machine. Do you mind if I ask what brand that is? I didn't recognize the logo in the video. We do about half as many business cards as you do and we have been using the martin yale gutter cut slitter. Works well but not anywhere near as cool as what you have.
  9. Customer paid with a cashier check - wrong pay to the order

    thats messed up. If my bank tried to pull something like that my response would be give me my money and close my account. There are plenty of banks. There's no reason to put up with one that gives you trouble with everything. Just deposit the check and if they give you trouble tell them to give...
  10. Sales Rep

    I hired a sales rep about 10 months ago and it's worked out great. We've had a huge increase in business. He as brought in a good amount of new business but we've also had a ton of increased sales from existing customers. It's amazing how much more you can sell to your existing customers by...
  11. Paid breaks and other employee benefits

    Part time hourly employees come and go as they want. As long as the work gets done I don't care what specific hours they work. If they leave for lunch they don't get paid. If they eat as they are working or sit down for 15 minutes in the shop to eat but are still available if needed to answer...
  12. Advice on dealing with a non-paying customer?

    I agree with addie. Thats what we do or if we are nice threaten to do first. It's illegal to write a bad check and where we live the sheriff will show up on his doorstep to collect funds from a bounced check. Our bank also has a system where if a check bounces they will electronically collect...
  13. Posters & Envelopes?

    Rojo is right about the xerox 240-260 series. its a great low cost machine. I'd make sure it can get under xerox service contract instead of buying supplies on ebay. Way too many parts break on these things not to have a service contract. Rojo is also correct about the envelopes.
  14. Posters & Envelopes?

    $98 for 100 wholesale does seem really high. we do digital sheetfed work in addition to signs and we have retail customers we will sell to at $0.50 ea. at those quantities as long as they are providing the art and are repeat customers. We even use a 100lb gloss cover stock. I consider them quick...
  15. Anyone Need some 10OZ Banner?

    what's considered a big order for free shipping? being on the east coast it's probably only worth it if we buy enough for the free shipping.
  16. PayPal Here!

    Just got an odd call from paypal today since i've used them very little. The offered to lower my rate to 2.2% from the normal 2.9% if I add paypal as an additional payment method on my website. I'm not sure how others can get this deal. It seemed like a random call. He knew I had a website but...
  17. NAS fileserver?

    Most nas seem very slow. I just bought a HP proliant N40L server from newegg and put windows home server on it. It works great. If your drives are fast enough it has no problem maxing out a gigabit connection. I was able to copy large files at 115MB/sec. They go on sale all the time usually with...
  18. I refuse to use "rewards/loyalty" programs

    I don't see the problem. I would much rather have ads and coupons for stuff I actually need then random junk. Ever notice when you browse the internet for something you start getting banner ads for the products you just looked at.
  19. How do you handle production of orders from start to finish?

    Well they have an iPhone app as well.
  20. How do you handle production of orders from start to finish?

    We have padded sheets of 8.5 x 11 order sheets that we take down customer and order information on when they come in a call. Those then get passed along to whoever is working on the job at the moment. If there is other stuff to go with them like customer supplied drawings we just put it all in a...
