Sam, nice job for your first attempt. Don’t worry about doing it quick. Take your time because it isn’t as easy as it looks mate. As for wrapping outside on a red hot day………..I shouldn’t do that if I were you. All the best mate and congrats on a good start! 😉

[Karl Williams]

I think your right mate. 🙁

[Karl Williams]

Top notch as usual Mr. Rogers! 😉

[Karl Williams]

Have you canceled the other printer then Warren?

[Karl Williams]

Brilliant mate! :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

[Karl Williams]

It seems because you are related they take the p!ss mate. Some of my family are the same. I used to have a till in the shop until my brother decided to remove the tray, put it under his car and changed the oil. He even told one of my customers where I get my vinyl from and even took him there under my name to get my discounts on vinyl. he then hand cut miles of magenta matt stripes and fitted them for him. My advice where family are concerned separate the two. But before I get ripped apart for that comment….not all families are the same.

[Karl Williams]

I know Amari have started selling carbon fibre mate. As to which colours they do I’m not sure on that one. As for the cost as far as I’m aware it’s not the cheapest materiel anywhere.

Reminds me of this video…

Got that on my phone mate. Hilarious but very true! 😀 😉

[Karl Williams]

Ignore that. tried to edit me post but it came up again as a reply. 😳

[Karl Williams]

quote Ben.Hall:

I was given a image produced in paint to print on a t-shirt 😮

I was lucky it was sent by email as I burst out in laughter when I saw the hideous picture.

Your lucky…….I’ve had some in the past on the back of a beer mat!

[Karl Williams]

Hello Ben. All the best mate. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Ben, Introduce yourself first in the hello forum mate. You’ll get more help that way.

[Karl Williams]

Top job once again Mr. Drew! 😉

[Karl Williams]

quote David Hammond:

Why don’t they start charging VAT on funerals???

They might as well mate. It costs co-op around £50 per coffin. Yet they charge around £500 to £600 for one. That’s what you call a mark up. 😮

[Karl Williams]

Thanks guys. Kev, I wasn’t expecting such an in depth reply mate. Thanks for taking the time for that. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Well his topic description was clear enough lambie! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

[Karl Williams]

Hi Dave,
A friend of mine has one in Nottingham. The quality i’ve seen so far is great and the machine has proven to be very reliable.

The one in the pic is a 550, this comes up on google images when the 250 is typed in. not sure if there is much difference mate.

Are you using third party inks? I’ve noticed the magenta can cause this colour change as it can appear richer when printing.

[Karl Williams]

Get yourself on Dragons Den mate! That looks like a prototype. Genius! 😉

[Karl Williams]

Yep!…..That would be one big pile of sh!t 😀 😀

[Karl Williams]

We have the same problem with Warren mate. Only his poo is in a package so not so bad. Still as noisy though! 😀 😀

[Karl Williams]

Phill, try going to your local council yard mate. Round here they just take them
and tell you you’re advertising illegally. They took 2 of ours a while back while we were contracted to them to do road signs. We had to go to the yard to pick up some steel posts and the signs were sat there waiting to be scrapped. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Rob….i can’t believe you went to all that trouble to superimpose an a-board on the M8 to take the p!ss out of Mr. Fentons unfortunate experience.

Phill…….it’s a scottish conspiracy mate! 😀 😀 😀

[Karl Williams]

Hi Steve.
With HP being a big name you would expect back up mate after spending the amount of money you have. without back up and support when things go wrong your as good as stuffed. Personally I would send the machine back and demand a refund. Sounds like a big headache to me and when running a business one you could do without. just my look on it anyway. All the best mate.

[Karl Williams]

Orrible! :shake: :vomit:

[Karl Williams]

(oogle) :shutup: :hung: 😀

[Karl Williams]

Well I take my hat off to him. His nerves got the better of him but hey ho who wouldn’t be nervous in that situation. I think the Dragon’s treated him badly and ignored the fact that he had a good product that would sell.

[Karl Williams]

Thanks James. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Great work Ben. Are you going to do the bonnet and the back of the car?
The car stands out a mile away. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Top job mate. You and Shane should get together some time. You Aussies seem to like your buses. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Great work once again mate. Well done. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Thanks Guys. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Well between us we’ve now got 6 to contend with so it’s always a busy house mate. That probably why there’ll be no more kids cos there’s always somebody up! (and i’m not!) 😉 😮

[Karl Williams]

quote Martin:

Don’t you believe it Karl, the screaming at 2 o’clock in the morning isn’t going to go away.
Soon you will have screaming because he’s cutting teeth, then they start school and go to lots of parties so wake you up at 2 in the morning being sick, then as teenagers they become rebellious and it’s loud music & screaming at 2 o’clock, then they discover drink and are falling in the door at 2 o’clock in the morning.

Don’t worry though because there is an end to it, none of us live forever :lol1: :lol1:

Feck me Martin! You’ve made me feel great! 😀 😀 😀

28 Jill? This one moving out next week after Martins warning. :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

[Karl Williams]

Thanks Lorraine,

Yes this one is defo the last! 😉

[Karl Williams]

quote Jill Marie Welsh:

What a cutie!

Yes Jill he is when he’s not screaming the house down at 2 in the morning! 🙁 😀

Thanks for the replies. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Just one more. Taken this morning.

All’s fine Martin thanks. Thanks for all the nice comments folks. All the kids in the family can’t get enough of him. 😉

I think he might be a bit bigger than you mate! 😀 😀

Anyway…….some pics!

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Harry, the word snip is a sore subject mate. Tracey’s told me if I don’t have it she’s gonna get the bricks out! Ouch! 😳

[Karl Williams]

Yeah! 😀 😀 😉

[Karl Williams]

Thanks for the comments guys.

No Harry, that was when I told you he was on his way mate.

[Karl Williams]

Thanks matey. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Thanks for that guys. 😉

[Karl Williams]

That’s great Rob. 😉

[Karl Williams]

As Richard said mate pay for the damage. If the cost is £55 it’s a small amount to safeguard your reputation. Don’t act like your hassled by it. But as Nigel said do a vehicle inspection next time. Bad news mate but it happens. 😕

[Karl Williams]

quote Nicola McIntosh:

these will burst yer balls harry :lol1: :lol1:

Those 2 could be fun! 😉 😀

[Karl Williams]

What are you importing it into mate?

Forget that. Can’t get it to work in anything. Maybe when it’s been saved it’s not been saved for Document Distribution. Had this problem many times.

[Karl Williams]

Rob,
I was referring to the size mate. Yes the edge was a great machine. When they first came out everyone including me was amazed by what it could do.
But it’s the size that’s the problem. That’s why I think it’s popularity may be short lived.

[Karl Williams]

:thread:

[Karl Williams]

Might as well join in! 😀

[Karl Williams]

Maybe, but some suppliers will slit it down to the width that you want. In all honesty I can see this going the same way as the Edge. Small machine that will die out in a couple of years. Wonder how long before they’re all on ebay.

[Karl Williams]

Love it.! 😀 😀 😀 😀

[Karl Williams]

Just thought i’d let you know Warren was born on Sunday 14th August at 9.31pm
Just like his dad he was late so nothing new there! Will post some pics when I get them off my phone.

Cheers,

Karl. 😉

[Karl Williams]

It’s the hard way then mate. Where are you based?

[Karl Williams]

There is one you can download on the tool bar mate.

[Karl Williams]

Would you not be better printing these direct to the panels mate? Is all that time laying them down going to be worth it?

[Karl Williams]

From one ex undertaker to another good luck mate. As for being in any armed forces…………..being a scout as a kid was about as far as I got. I did get one badge though for making a garage out of Lego! 😀 😉

All the best,
Karl.

quote Karl Williams:

😀 😀 😀 Well if he does I’ll drive up to you and we’ll wet the babies head mate! 😉

anyone coming to Scotland ends up with their head wet mate. the weathers crap! 😉 :lol1:

It never rains in a pub mate! 😉

[Karl Williams]

Tracey wants him now! He’s kicking the crap out of her! 😀

I’ll let you know if he does Jill.

[Karl Williams]

😀 😀 😀 Well if he does I’ll drive up to you and we’ll wet the babies head mate! 😉

[Karl Williams]

Some of them are difficult to make out whats what.
When we went I just thought ok it’s just another scan. Seeing him on screen moving in real time just leaves you stunned.

Yes mate, not long now. August 15th is the due date.

[Karl Williams]

A few more.

[Karl Williams]

Thanks Rob. I’ll have a look.

I would say nothing to do with the banner or the tape. Thats down to the railings.
Not your problem mate.

We went for a 3d?4d scan at the weekend of Warren. The results are amazing!
Here he is. 😀

When Saddam was hung there were pictures in the papers and on the net as proof he was dead. So why deny the world any proof on the death of such a high profile terrorist such as Bin Laden? I don’t think he’s dead. Just more U.S cover ups to avoid more hijackings for the demand for his return.

[Karl Williams]

I can’t believe it’s a year since Peter rang me to tell me the dreadful news.
I had to park up in the car when he told me, it just didn’t sound real.
His funeral was a very sad day but with the large gathering on the day showed just how respected the man was.

Rest in peace buddy. You were and always will be a good mate.

[Karl Williams]

Thanks guys. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Me too but the o’s are different.

[Karl Williams]

Anyone got it pleasey weasey? 😉

[Karl Williams]

Thought it was marker. This is the one but can’t remember the name for it.
I must be getting old, can’t remember buggger all now days. 😕

[Karl Williams]

Thanks matey. I’ll email you the info over. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Top notch that mate. 😉

[Karl Williams]

I think you worked on presumption mate on the clients part. You know your trade….he doesn’t. When they say they are cash strapped or on a tight budget that’s not your problem, it’s theirs. I as many on here have done the same to help the client but in most cases it backfires. I would say on this occasion take it on the chin. Do the job again to keep him happy. This way you’ll lose far less than being bad mouthed and getting a bad reputation.

[Karl Williams]

Thanks guys. I can use both of them. 😉

[Karl Williams]

looked at them mate. Thanks for trying. Not sure if it’s called rubber stamp or just stamp. Any help appreciated.

[Karl Williams]

It’s great for those who like camping but can’t afford a tent! 😛 😉

[Karl Williams]

Amari do one.

[Karl Williams]

quote Martin:

You have been a busy bunny Shane, great to be busy and making money but mind and watch your health please as I still would like to meet you in person one day and would rather it were in this life time 😉

Totally agree with Martin mate. I’ve just started back. Thought all was ok only to find the damage I thought was gone is still there. Try and make time for yourself and your family. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Could pick fault mate but won’t. For your first job ever well done for jumping in and doing your best. I can remember my first job in 1989…….I was Shittting myself but all went well. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Smashing work. Bet your Knacckered now mate? 😉

[Karl Williams]

Thanks Colin. I’m not intending doing it myself. Don’t know anything about neon so was going to sub it out. Just wanted to know before I waste anyones time in surveying the job and any cost to me if any. The neon has been up for over 10 years.

[Karl Williams]

The new design looks bland and boring. Designed probably by someone with a diploma in design. If the products they make carry the same branding will these then look like a cheap happy shopper brand?

[Karl Williams]

Chris is right on what he says mate. But your knob won’t drop off! :lol1: :lol1: 😉

[Karl Williams]

Thanks Cheryl. 😉

[Karl Williams]

It’s called machine mate. You have to add the outlines though on this font.

[Karl Williams]

That’s great thanks Phill. 😉

as for Warren, what was up with Robert? He’ll be about my height when he appears! 😉 :lol1: :lol1:

Stop putting yourself down Rob!
Thanks guys. 😉

[Karl Williams]

Mate, I take my hat off to you. All the best for the future. 😉

[Karl Williams]

I’d say it was a fault with the file. If you can turn the image to a wire-frame, this might just show the problem.

[Karl Williams]

Which software did you use to generate the artwork and what file type are you printing?

[Karl Williams]

quote Martin Cole:

Congratulations to both you and Tracey..wonderful news

Oh..to look forward to those sleepless nights again :sleep:

Used to them Martin. Had more than my share over the past 18 months.

Thanks for the replies. 😉

Thanks everyone. This is what happens when it’s cold and the boiler breaks down. We had to do something to keep warm! 😉

Hi

I have a Rep coming to see me from CardSave and just thought I would find out if anybody here use them and have an opinion on them?

Not heard of them mate. A few people I know use Streamline.

[Karl Williams]

quote Harry Cleary:

quote Hugh Potter:

I dunno how you do it Karl!

You can get books or diagrams that explain all that kind of thing Hugh! 😀

😀 😀 😀
I was going to say the same Harry.
Warren, we were talking about names about a week ago when looking at the boards. Saw your name and suggested Warren, at the same time Tracey was on another site looking for names and came across the same name….so bingo! 😉
Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.

[Karl Williams]

Thanks Harry. 😉
