Hi Guys,
I’ve been looking up all the companies you mentioned as I had not heard of some of them before. I’ve decided to start out with paypal virtual terminal…. I didnt even know paypal had this service even though I already have an account with them. (Thanks Mo for the info!) I like that its relatively cheap, easy to set up, I dont need to rent any equipment and there is no contract.

Thanks to everyone for your help.

John.

Thanks again Jill… got sorted at artandsignstudio.com
best regards,
john.

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks Jill. Appreciate that.
Seems like a good site and will definitely be buying a few from it.
Would still like to buy a good font collection cd also if anyone has any recommendations?

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks Guys, will try the people in portadown for a price.
Harry – I just buy the cartridges from ‘cartridge world’ in ballina (i’m sure they have a branch near you too)…. its €85 each for colour cartridges and €105 for black. Refills are about €50 each. Price include VAT.

Cheers,
John.

We have miles of it Hugh….. I’d get here quick though if I were you – its the first time we’ve seen hot weather in about 5 years!!!

[JohnMoyles]

The customer has just been in and loved Hugh’s second design (i.e. the one with the black background).
So thanks everyone for helping me out here.

Hugh – if your ever in Mayo – I owe you a few pints!
Thanks again,
John.

[JohnMoyles]

thanks Jill, will let you guys know what the customer decides on.

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks everyone, that is looking good too Jill. Do you mind if i let the customer see your design as well? She might be spoiled for choice tomorrow!

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks for all your input guys. John & Hugh – I really appreciate you taking the time to upload your ideas. Do you mind if I show these idea’s to the customer and make up something similar if she decides to go with it? The customer is calling in again tomorrow afternoon.

Welcome Fran 😀

[JohnMoyles]

Hello & welcome

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks Peter!

[JohnMoyles]

thanks guys – will try both of those.

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks for your reply Dave – I need this cutter to cut 3mm dibond / aluminium compostite & 1.2mm aluminium in one pass… so the Javelin wont be suitable. I need an excalibur 3000 or better. I read a post somewhere that you’re moving to cape clear… hope it goes well for you mate… I’ve never been to the island but I hear good things!
Thanks again, John.

[JohnMoyles]

Cheers Harry – I’m going to post on that now. Thanks very much for your help – I’m getting tired of the whole ruler & stanley routine!

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks everyone for your help. I’m going to look into getting a debt collector to sort out my longest overdue accounts and am changing to a 50/50 system from monday. it’ll be interesting to see if business slows down any as a result (hopefully not!). I’m confident now that this is the right decision, at least i’ll be sure that i’m getting paid for all the work i do. Thanks again… John.

[JohnMoyles]

thanks dan, thats the kind of thing i’m hoping to hear. i’m sure it’d be a lot easier to run my business without chasing credit customers. do you find it has freed up more time for you? also is it a good idea to only provide artwork / proofs after a deposit has been paid?

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks for your quick response guys. i think i’ll get the polyproplyene as i already have an acount with access and they’ve quoted me €80 for a 10×5 sheet which is the size of the bench. When this sheet comes to the end of its life i’ll try the toughened glass next and decide then what suits my business best. Really appreciate all your help, Thanks Again!

[JohnMoyles]

some really great work there….. very impressed. Also think the awards is a great idea. keep up the good work guys!

[JohnMoyles]

pretty good peter – its 600dpi and looks nice and sharp when i printed it at 18"x14".

[JohnMoyles]

thanks for your help guys, bought it online and got the job finished today so all’s well.
cheers,
John.

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks Kev – I’ll give em a call tomorrow.
cheers!

[JohnMoyles]

I should add – the letters are made from 19mm foamex and have no channels routed into the backs as he was not interested in LEDs at the time of manufacture. Each letter is approx 10" high and as I said its a pretty thin stem on the font used (15-20mm).

John. 😕

[JohnMoyles]

Harry/Warren
Thanks a lot for your input.
i used Harry’s file it to make that job yesterday.
thanks again – I really appreciate it.
regards,
John.

[JohnMoyles]

Thanks Chris – I dont have the impact graphics disk but think I’ve found a decent one on istock.
thanks for your quick reply – much appreciated.

[JohnMoyles]

Hi Pete,

I have a season ticket at villa park so am in birmingham about 8 times a year for my sins…. if there’s anything I can help you out with when I’m over just let me know – I currently work witha roland plotter and the versacamm printer/cutter.

Cheers,
John.

[JohnMoyles]
