Owners and office staff are on salary, production staff are hourly, keep it simple.

For this job, just hire someone else to fix it, eat the cost and move on. In future, tell your subs you need either high resolution photos of the complete job or a signed site inspection from the client before they get paid. If they don't supply the signed form, call the client and say you are...

What if it's a poorly designed sign, can you argue that it actually lowered the property value, and the city should pay you?

Could be a cap top not sealing properly, I've had it happen and it causes this exact issue, do the rubber seals look worn or deformed?

There is also Arlon DPF 6000, that stuff will make your arms as smooth as a baby's butt.

We just finished something similar for a nursing home, the space between the handrail and ceiling was 52", so we used 48"x120"sheets and it worked well.

I don't blame "non-professional" designers for this, it's not their job to understand the printing industry, it's our job to tell them what we need, and if they can't get it we can convert it for a fee. Now professional designers are fully at fault, but you should be providing some sort of...

One of the 3 times I got compromised recently, they bought $30,000 in Google ad words credits, not sure why they chose that as I'm sure once visa reverses to charges, Google voids those credits so I don't know how they turn that into real money. The most recent time they bought 3 MacBook pros...

Not an option in Canada, our banking system is stuck in 1989, they just keep writing off the losses and upping bank fees to compensate.

THATS WHO IT WAS!?! I'm on my 3rd credit card now in 3 months due to compromises, and I use Sinalite, that explains it. Also they had a system wide outage about a month ago and someone on another forum I was on said it was a ransomware attack.

To expand on this a bit, always try to figure out the future business potential for every client you take on, chances are someone looking for a banner of a Facebook image is not going to be a repeat customer, so quote them a price that is high enough to make you happy to do the job, then add a...

These small "personal" projects for people will bankrupt you quickly, send them to Vista print and focus your time on finding and servicing clients who understand the value in what you provide.

All valid points, on larger stainless tags the spray method is faster, but keep in mind that cermark sprays are not considered a "permanant" mark for a lot of applications, we do work for military and they require either rotary engraved or annealed. I've had cermark tags fade in the sun after...

No this fiber is a "Mactron" 50watt non MOPA we bought directly from the manufacturer in China, it's an amazing machine, especially since light burn now supports it. As for cable tags, look into rotary jigs like this: It makes marking much faster, I can do a 2" round stainless cable tag in...

What is your current role at your shop? It sounds like you're not the owner, so is there an opportunity for you to move into a less physical role such as designer or project manager?

It really is the best sound isn't it https://photos.app.goo.gl/Gp6mQFeA6GDyPcyo6

Just dont get crayon on your monitor

a laser engraving shop could do these easily out of red annodized aluminum, when engraved the text comes out white. If you can't find anyone I could do them but i'm sure there is someone closer.

In 1 minute he kinda sorta removed about 1 square foot of vinyl, and about half a square foot of adhesive, no thanks!

Make sure when you send them a proof you call it "front_sign_proof_easy_and_profitable_customer.png" when they ask tell them you're using the same hope and a prayer file naming system they are.
