I just want the gang-bangers and nut-jobs GONE. In Wisconsin, per the Sheriffs, every county now has members of foreign gangs (Honduras, etc.), and if we don't do something about it soon, there's going to be some real issues. Local police can't get it under control. I had a couple of them try...

Do not thou understand what the man is saying? He is a graphic designer than forsooth knows what he is talking about. He says the design industry is dying a slow perpetual wink. I wonder if the entire sign industry is dying a slow perpetual wink also? I am using a modern English to corky...

Registration marks? You need registration marks on the artwork AND on the contour cut. You just need a registration mark on all 4 corners of your artwork.

Love you videos, I always get ideas from them! Everyone looks happy also, which is always a good sign LOL!

This! And car washes, hand washes, wipers grab those pointy spots and pull the decals up.

If I do the drivers door first, I will use a grease pencil and measure the distance top and bottom or left to the decal - or whatever my brain says is easiest - and I write it big enough on the finished door, take a photo and then I have the measurements for the passenger door. Or I write them...

The widest I print is 48" - but I have done 50". My laminator is only 52" so I have to be careful how wide I print. I just tried to send 53" without registration marks and it looks like it will let me. the registration marks add about an 1" on each side of the print.

This is very close to what I would charge. You have a bit more for cleaning/placement than I would have. OP: it's important not to forget the little things like #5, #6 If the truck looks like this, it's easy to measure. Some trucks are more of an "eyeball" situation because they don't have...

You've been gardening forever on your property. I find it extremely difficult to believe she got it from your garden. Glad to hear she is doing better! Sucks about the garden this year, I know that's a highlight for you both. Are you going to continue gardening or are you calling it quits?

We could all benefit from a diabetic recipe post...since you are a gardener...my favorite recipe is straight from the garden for pasta sauce. Tomatoes (whole cherry or halved large) Handful of basil Clove or block of garlic (I freeze my minced garlic with olive oil in ice cube trays) Oregano is...

I tried focaccia bread for the first time this fall from the veges I had in the garden. It was quite delicious, but a bit of work. Tried to eat as much as possible from the garden this year. I ate peas for breakfast one day LOL

I agree with this. My family has hung lots and lots of wallpaper with the paste (my grandpa had a painting and decorating business). It was much easier than the vinyl. I hung 2 walls for my sister and one for myself with the vinyl...not quite as easy without the moveable paste and they never...

If they are good at fleet installing then the transition shouldn't be too bad. Your concern with not using 3M materials - maybe switch over for now with certain "new" installs and once the guys are comfortable then you can experiment more? Would definitely open your business up to new...

I bought a cold laminator to start with before forking out several thousand bucks. Turns out, it's just fine for my purposes! Others on here have this also...I have the 50 or 52" so with my printer I don't print anything over 48" if it needs to be laminated because my printer is 54". I cut 2"...

I looked into buying silver but you have pay taxes on it when you sell it - like 28% from my understanding. Seemed a bit risky to me. So instead I put some extra money in the stock market. Well, that took a crap the last couple weeks.

I think Texas_Signmaker or Geneva Olson should take a drive and do some detective work!

In Victors defense, I THINK his overall business model is geared towards selling his products on Amazon, etc. where the competition is tough and margins are slim - but he has a higher volume of customers than most of us. I think he's often literally dealing with pennies of profit but huge...

I laminate almost everything except any vinyl that goes on coroplast. Anything you put outside should be laminated or anything where people might be touching it etc. I like the luster laminate for inside signs. I just did a bunch for the wrestling room at school. The luster laminate just makes...

For me, I started with making fatheads for my son's classmates, smaller tshirt orders etc. Then I became friends with some booster club members and I now have most of the business for the booster club which includes a lot of 4x8 signs, banners, etc. You could send an email to the principals...

Well, thanks for the update! I didn't expect to hear anything about this LOL Sounds like a nightmare. Glad your brother didn't have to finish the job.
