    Just raise your prices and don't look back. Easiest and most practical way of doing it.
  2. Logo Design

    Hahahahaaa........ I see the double and triple posts are still in play :roflmao:
  3. Nationals dictating pricing

    Luckily, I don't see that kinda nonsense, but do you have the ability to turn them down, based upon their greedy pricing structure ??
  4. Mobile Billboard

    I think the overposting is due to a malfunction of the forum software. Evidently, you only tried once
  5. Mobile Billboard

    Posting this 4 times really won't help you, but will p!ss others off and things become confusing. We did some of these years ago, but they were much larger. We used to hand paint them. The customer had boards screwed to them and we'd just paint whatever the spec sheet indicated. They'd...

    This has been a problem for as long as I'm in business and before that. I remember my first boss yelling at people to get their sh!t together because other than the screen printed stuff, all signs were furnished by hand. As more and more agencies and other types of brokers came along, the...
  10. HP R1000 on 6mm bevelled Sintra

    Why are you not starting with black substrate ?? If you can't print white, I'd suggest using a rattle can of black and build your edges up til ya like the look. Then, print.
  11. Why does Mimaki ink have a shelf life date?

    Not to be funny, but doesn't an expiration date mean you've kinda reached the limit ?? There must be a reason. I know you can try to squeak by and take a chance, but do you do it with food items ?? Sounds like your printer has been fed some bad ink and is constipated. edit: nice stuff on...
  12. IL Connecting HDU sign to pillars

    Jim....... why did you use hdu on a sign like that ?? Nothing looks recessed. Also, why no reinforcement out around the edges if it is hdu ?? As for david, ya might wanna build your frame and instal it beforehand and I'd use 3 stringers, not just one.
  13. Cut Line Off

    What's the size of the entire graphic ??
  14. Letters and Large Sign on Sheet Metal Building

    In your opinion, you think it's better to have them sign a waiver, you've told them on something which will fail, then to refuse to do it half-a$$ ?? When you have disclaimers/waivers involved you are already admitting you'll be dong it for the money only and no one's safety. You are the...
  15. Estimates & Invoices

    We itemize everything. We have a sales tax exemption with just about everyone and almost never pay sales tax ahead of time. In QB, there's a little tab at the end where you can make it taxable or non-taxable on the fly per item. Lumping it all together means you would need to split it out if...
  16. Letters and Large Sign on Sheet Metal Building

    If you're afraid to charge for doing things because the customer doesn't wanna pay it, why opt for a half-baked method ?? Your 3mm panels will be so wavy, it'll look very wonky when finished, unless you put up a frame..... and even then, it should be at least 6mm.
  17. Aqua from Ocean Isle Beach North Carolina

    Well, I tried to help, but avoiding certain questions..... just made it tough to help. Anyway, your 20 year old posts seemed to help, so go for it, I guess you figured it all out. Care to share your results/findings ??
  18. Any tips on installing on grooved metal walls

    Looks really good. Now, that ya have 3 of these under your belt, you'll know what to charge for the next one. There's not any job ya don't ever wanna do, except ones that don't pay enough for your services. Odds are, others will see this and your name will get around quickly.
  19. Shorter rolls of banner fabric

    I don't have an answer for ya, but I feel your pain. o_O
