    Thank you ikarasu for converting the file!
  2. Need Help Cannot open old file, help needed please.

    I need help opening a .ve file and exporting it so I can work with it in Illustrator. I created the file for a family restaurant several years ago and they need it redone. I no longer use the LXi software so I do not have a way to open it. I believe it may also open in Flexi. Can anyone help?
  3. SignCraft Pricing Guide...Accurate?

    Ill admit when I first started in this industry I was that asshole that found the average market price for things around me and cut them by about 15%. I was also young and an idiot when it came to running a business. I had no clue what my overhead was or what that even meant. I was running out...
  4. Is there a latex respirator anyone can recommend?

    I do agree with you on the odor being strong, just don't think its medically harmful. The shop I used to work at had 2 64" latex in a 15x15 room and the smell was a bit much when they were both running.
  5. Is there a latex respirator anyone can recommend?

    this is an interesting post. I was under the impression the point of latex inks was that they did not produce hazardous fumes...
  6. SignCraft Pricing Guide...Accurate?

    Texas_Signmaker I agree it could certainly be a bit more inclusive. They list travel charges but simply the same as your hourly rate. I would like to know rates for bucket truck rates as well.
  7. SignCraft Pricing Guide...Accurate?

    Just curious how your shop prices in comparison to the guide they send out each year. I'm not asking anyone for their pricing! Just curious if they are as accurate as they claim to be. For me they seem to be all over the place. Some of their prices are close to accurate but most are out in left...
  8. online sign design for website

    I fought for two years to keep a design center on my website up and running. Not only was it $200/mo but I was constantly having to change things. Customers would use it as a tool to basically just layout text and I would still have to design around it. The bad thing was the customer gained an...
  9. How do you get chain stores as clients?

    I worked for a company that did sub contract work for corporate stores in NYC. All jobs go through a marketing firm that then subout the graphics and install separate. All work is last minute and half the time the materials are a few hours late to the install. You always have to make the best of...

  12. Need pricing opinions..

    Will do, thank you. I know this is a sensitive subject which is why I also added that PM’s would be fine as well. I’m not sure what is actually a private thread and what is not around here.
  13. Need pricing opinions..

    Thanks for that Gino! If an admin wouldn’t mind moving this thread that would be appreciated.
  14. Need pricing opinions..

    I am moving to a new location and will be accepting larger jobs that I have been turning down for a few years now. I am solid on basic sign pricing and banners and such but as for lettering an entire vehicle with cut cast or wrapping a vehicle I am lost. I understand this is a sensitive subject...
