  1. Branding companies....just dont!

    90% of our clients are on net 30 or net 60 terms with us, and most of my best clients I've never met in person, and I like it that way. I can count on 1 hand the number of times we've been burned in 28 years, and the few that don't pay, I upload the invoice to a collection company I use, and...
  2. Be careful which company you recommend

    While I am sympathetic, the supply chain issues are very real and affect everyone. I've been telling people that I need a deposit to secure materials because they might not be in stock tomorrow and until they are in my shop I assume they are on backorder somewhere. When you placed the order did...
  3. Branding companies....just dont!

    I have 1 customer who I can always tell when they are about to place an order, a cheque for the last one magically shows up a few days before they call with a new order lol.
  4. need feedback on Colex sharpcut sxc1717

    Our summa can cut a sheet without registration marks, I don't see why the colex wouldn't be able to.
  5. Shop owner passed away...what happens to copyright?

    So is she under the impression that any of her husband's clients NEED to use her files? Most sign shops are used to recreating layouts to match existing trucks etc, so he files are worth whatever art charge another shop would charge to recreate it from scratch. I feel bad for her, possibly her...
  6. Quickbooks 2022?

    Yeah I've been reading up on zoo and it looks like an awesome product, plus they have a ton of other apps that work with it, including workflow apps and databases. The only downside is our accountant doesn't use it, so it would be a learning curve for both of us.
  7. Quickbooks 2022?

    I agree the 3rd party integrations are pretty nice, we use an app called dext that handles our accounts payable, we either take a photo on our phones of a reciept, or if a supplier emails invoices we can just forward them to a specific email address and dext automatically scans them and extracts...
  8. Quickbooks 2022?

    I've never called and had anyone answer with even a basic understanding of the english language, so I'm not going to hold my breath.
  9. Quickbooks 2022?

    We've been using QB online for a few years now, overall it is more or less the same as QB Desktop, similar look and feel, however there are a few "bugs" that i'm not a fan of, they used to have an app that you could run, so it was similar to using desktop, however it's now discontinued and you...
  10. Just In Free Video Tutorial on Using Filemaker to Manage Jobs

    I'm revisiting this and re watching all of these videos again, I was wondering if it's possible to have multiple items on a single order? For example if your client wants 10 yard signs, a banner and 1000 business cards, can you add a "add item" button that would add in another area for the...
  11. Lobby directory plaque blanks

    Oh they just need 1? Tell them you can't help, you would never be able to charge enough money to make it worth your while
  12. UV printer rash

    We don't have a flatbed printer, but we have a monthly large job for flatbed printed ACM that we outsource, one of our employees breaks out in hives on her arms within minutes of handling the signs (we have to sort and pack them into boxes) so we no longer have her do this job. I assume some...
  13. Illustrator FINALLY increased canvas size by 10x

    I run coreldraw 2018, and I can downsave all the way back to x3 I believe.
  14. What is a good basic sign program?

    You dug up a 9 year old thread. Unfortunately Old Paint passed away a few years ago, so he won;t be able to reply, however you did bring this thread back from the dead, so who knows!
  15. Client Application Form

    I agree, we need to fill out a form with pretty much every new vendor we use, some need banking information, others just need contact information. Once you start dealing with larger companies, this becomes more crucial, we've had cases where someone placed an order, and when we invoiced them...

  19. Using all of the laminate

    we have a fladbed applicator (rollsroller) so when the laminate rolls get too short for the roll laminator, we can use the rolls roller to apply them to shorter prints, you can do this with a standard laminator as well.
  20. HELP! Did I just install the wrong material?!

    Removal on glass is fine, just cut the vinyl into 12" wide strips with a knife first, and peel the strips off, dont use a black utility knife blade as it will scratch the glass, but a standard blade won't.
