  1. Considering hiring a full-time salesperson. Any advice?

    We have 3 outside and 2 inside. We were lucky in that 2 (outside) were hired and promoted within. The other outside had a little experience. We pay a salary plus commission (above a floor). We don't pay for gas or car allowance (they can borrow the extra company van). As a franchise we...
  2. 3 Sign Shops Closed

    Agree with above - you should hire Sara or beautiful work lady. Just this year we (my hubs and I) hired another salesperson to specifically handle customers that placed orders on a day to day. We thought that there might be pushback from our long time customers, but it is going smoothly...

  5. RICOH Tec Lighting Wide Format UV coater- MEGACOAT

    RICOH is the reseller of this coater from Tec Lighting. No printing involved- just a liquid coat applied after printed (somewhere else in the shop). Thats exactly our thoughts. How can this coating extend the life of the inks and additional 3 years? But if it is true is that worth it...

  11. MULTICAM - manuf prob

    Good news! Only the Airtech (3 phase) kinetic blower pump 24 hp model is defective. If you ordered something else chances are it will be ok. But I would double check with Multicam.
  12. MULTICAM - manuf prob

    Hi all, Just a heads up if you have a multicam on order...the blower made by a third party is defective. Additionally, all the blowers that are on their factory floor are defective without a fix in sight. We ordered our Multicam (APEX3R) back in March and arrived late July. We got ride of our...
  13. Porter Cable router for Gerber Sabre

    We were unsucessful in finding any replacement porter cable motors. We had rebuilt the 2 we had over the years. Can't find any one locally to rebuild. We spoke with Geber a few months back and they were working on a fix. I don't know if that came to fruition. We sadly decided to replace...

  15. New one for me.......................................................

    Ok, sounds like he wants the function to be changeable and the room # to be permanent. That makes sense. So a 2 part sign (within a frame is best). Easy.
  16. New one for me.......................................................

    Does he want the ADA sign to be magnetic receptive? Meaning you can place magnets of it? For a prototype for a client hospital we added a steel area so that their mags would stick (they said things like "clean", 'no solid food", "wear PPE"). The order never materialized. Or does he want...

  18. Mesh banners tearing in wind

    We had a similar issue. At a school pool in Florida and the wind for some reason was just relentless. We ended up using a sacraficial banner behind each banner. (I'm pretty sure we uesd some old sample cheap material). That plain white banner took all the "vibration" of the wind on the fence...
  19. Florida Sign Contractor Law Change?

    I think it says the opposite. Off to try to find out more.
  20. Multicam

    Yes, on the mister - air chiller. Yes on the auto tool changer. Yes on the auto tool height gauge (also our salesperson did not mention and we had to request sigh). Yes, on Enroute. Thanks all!!! Solidifies my choices and I feel better writing the big check. I appreciate!
