  1. General Formulations 222 and 223?

    Thats funny I just saw this, i have never used their products and I have a large client that needs floor decals and they specifically asked for general formulation 221, so i just ordered it and have not used it yet but will today. I will let you know
  2. Is customer trying to scam me?

    well this sucks for sure, we have a ton of big clients and they are on terms because we do a credit check, and make them sign a paper for the terms. Its a big hassle getting your money sometimes and over the years we have moved away from Terms for almost everyone with the exception of a few. I...
  3. Smoke Breaks...

    I honestly don't have a problem with this issue, I get the lost time and money and blah blah blah but we have 7 employees and I don't enforce anything with them. They take breaks whenever they want and for what ever time they want. They know what our work load is and they know what needs to be...
  4. Best way to communicate from laptop to PC (file sharing)

    The difference is unless I read it wrong, if you are working at home and finish up projects all you do is save it to the folder for dropbox or even google drive and when you get to your shop all you do is open that folder the files are there and you are good to go. you don't need to be...
  5. Best way to communicate from laptop to PC (file sharing)

    I don’t know if this is an option for you we use to transfer that way but now I use dropbox and all my designers put the files to be printed in a designated folder and when I go to my rip computer to print or even edit the file is there and waiting for me. The transfer is faster that WiFi but it...
  6. What kind of Adhesive Promoter do you use?

    Just curious as to what most of you guys and gals are using for adhesive promoter for your flatbed UV printer. Do you have a lot of different kinds for all the materials like glass, plastic and so on? or do you just one 1 type that works with everything. I have a couple kinds, one is a liquid...
  7. Minimum Charge

    Honestly I don't look at my orders that way personally. I do laser engraving and I get people that come in ALL the time that need a small 1"x3" plate done and I charge them $5-$10 at least or those little 12"x12" foam core jobs I don't turn anyone away. Yes I have a lot of big customers but my...
  8. Trade only distributor selling to retail.

    This is an example of my other business we have walmarts, sams club, costco they are basically the same. I have a liquor store and these above companies to name just a few, sell the same products as me (pepsi, coke, tobacco, liquor, general merchandise) but they offer it cheaper that what I...
  9. Trade only distributor selling to retail.

    Just wanted to chime in as I do see a lot of people that do complain about this. I have been in the sign industry for roughly 15 years now (not a veteran like some here but not a newbie like some ) but I have been in the retail business for over 25 years owning liquor stores, wholesale...
  10. What Size To Buy?

    I see this all the time, not trying to start anything, so far everyone here has been awesome and you are right about your comments but everyone needs to start somewhere and they shouldn't be put down for asking questions that what we are here for. I had these questions 14 years ago when i...

Seems like everyone I talk to direct me to multicamm and they keep telling me that is the only machine that is worth buying, obviously those are just opinions of theirs and...
  13. Question How do you cut round corners?

    I am not in the office to look up the vendor I use but this machine is one that I have from a VERY VERY long time ago it cuts plastic, dibond sintra and so on and you can get different diameters to attach to it. I have an updated version (bigger on a stand) but sorry can't remember were I got...

    I am aware of a lot of open source scripts as I have my own server and a lot of different sites floating around the web, but I am in NO means any type of programmer, everything i do is self taught and a lot of trial and error. I have tried many of the different solutions and as they do work...

    I would love to get on eCommerce store up and running but I have yet to find a solution that works for me.
