  2. UPS Strike

    After getting to know my driver over the last few years for many, it's really not about increasing their pay. My guy drives 14-16 hour days while 1/3 of the fleet sit idle...at least through our distribution hub. Why pay a long-term high-end guy overtime when you can put someone in a second...
  3. Our most valued employee has passed.

    So sorry for your loss. I had a Boston Terrier that was with me daily in the shop until she died. Hang in there it's hard. I end up having a heart attack (broken heart) after she died. We have other dogs now, but none like her.
  4. Rant Customer wants to see $1M proof of insurance for $48 banner

    I received an email yesterday from a customer who needs proof of $1 million liability insurance before they will pay for a $48 banner that was ordered in May. ...REALLY?

  5. Switching from Adobe Photoshop to Corel Photo Paint?

    Forgive me if someone has already suggested this, but you might want to look at PhotoPaint Pro. It has more features than the standard PhotoPaint that comes with the CorelDraw package. We mostly use CorelDraw for layout and design and only PP to do more extensive editing of rastered files. There...
  6. Dont know about you, but my buisiness just stopped

    We're in the same boat, not as high a sales expectation for the year, but hard anyway. I estimate that in a matter of 3 days we lost 30K is revenue that would have invoiced by June 1. Laying off 1/2 my staff for now and may need to step back to a 1 person shop until this turns around. My adult...

  10. Rant Grimco has gone down hill fast for us

    ...and they have no inventory. Why leave descriptions of items in the online catalog if you don't have it, and I can't wait for you to order it from your vendor. I heard they are laying off staff, they simply aren't making money so they are trying to scale back. I've stopped buying from them, I...
  11. Another nifty thing for keeping T-posts taught with banners

    I'm confused, "T-Posts" are fence posts. At least the ones we use are. We get them from a Farm and Ranch supply in bulk for about $10 each. What are you calling fence posts?
  12. Roland Xr-640 cut issue

    Hey there! I would get on the phone with tech support out of Irvine, if it's happened they should know the source and how to correct it.

    R-tape has a line of printable metallics that I can print Eco-Sol on my Roland SolJet. They turned out beautifully, not cheap, but worth the price. I don't know how it will come out with Latex, but might be worth checking into.
  15. Roland XR640 vs Mutoh VJ1640

    I started out as a really small shop and have been swamped with work, so I've decided to upgrade in a big way to a 64" machine. I'm getting fed up with the suppliers bad mouthing each others equipment so I'm asking for advice. Which one do I pick? Roland XR640 print/cut dual head 9 color or...
  16. Hiring new employees, any words of wisdom

    A couple of suggestions For several different jobs during the interview process my husband was given various personality tests.

    tried to trade up from BN-20 About 6 months ago I tried to trade up using my 2 year old BN-20. My dealer offered $1200 for the $8500 retail priced machine. A little disappointing, but I understand. I've decided to keep it for now, but may try and sell it once my 64" upgrade arrives.

  19. Blade Pressure for Roland

    It varies, the thickness of the vinyl, the thickness of the adhesive, and wear on the blade. Just checked it is currently set at 95. I always do a test cut at the beginning of the job, then again mid way through if it is a large job.
