There is no way it's profitable, it just barely covers material costs, and leaves nothing for overhead expenses. Unless it's a charity that the owner supports it's stupid to do the job for that price. Hopefully someone like FireSprint.com can chime in, I'm willing to bet even with the massive...

I don't have a flatbed, but I'm going to say no. A sheet of coroplast costs around $10, you get 10 signs from that, a step stake costs around $0.50 and your ink would be around $0.30. if you buy coroplast by the skid you can get the price down by about 10% same with the stakes. Add in a...

There are people out there who aren't prime members? Do they hang out with bigfoot and the loch Ness monster?

4over is my go-to for large banners, the quality is perfectly acceptable for this application. You can order a small sample banner to your shop of the design for less than $20 if you want to make sure before you pull the trigger. Only issue I've had is on occasion the grommets are too close to...

Hey Pat: We have done this in the past for clients and it's never been an issue, we did it for 2 politicians for the last election where they couldn't justify $3000 + on a sign face for a temporary campaign office, they were up for 3-4 months and were in great shape when they came down. I got...

I use a laptop for my work, which is email, accounting and designing, I really like it, at the shop I have it hooked up to an external monitor with a USB keyboard & mouse, so I get a dual monitor setup, but when I take it home all my setting in all my programs are exactly how they are at the...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that cause the cuts to all be off in the same direction? he described the cuts being off in opposite directions on the front vs. back of the sheet.

There is a calibration test you can do where you print out a series of crosshairs and have it cut, then adjust as needed. The fact that it's off in different directions on the front & back of the sheet is odd. I can't think of anything that would cause that. Does it have issues finding the...

If you are regularly doing large projects (over $100k) then I can see partnering with a finance company to work something out where you get paid in full, and the finance company takes the risk. But I don't see the reasoning in offering financing for things like wraps etc. If a company can't...

The location in their profile is Mexico, so I'm guessing english is a second language. To answer the OP's question, Gemini has instructions on mounting on their website https://www.geminisignproducts.com/contentassets/998b85c70ab643a39b29c5ac23c08480/install-instructions-stud-flatcut-metal.pdf

We have a tape supplier who gave us a sample roll of washi tape, it's what auto body shops use, it's great, high tack but come off with no residue. And best of all it's $2 a roll

If he has no intention of paying, why is he bothering to beat you down on price? Glad you dodged the bullet there. During this pandemic, a $2000 invoice does not guarantee a $2000 cheque in your hand.

Buyers are liers. We've all had someone call and tell us about how many wraps/signs/ whatever they buy in a year, 99% of the time they are massively inflating that number in hopes that you bend over backwards to do their job at cost. When you catch on to the BS they just move on to the next...

Yes that will be fine, we use Arlon 4600lx which is pretty much the same thing

I'm aware of how tabs work, but I'm trying to avoid having to jump between tabs a few hundred times. Ideally I would have document 1 open on monitor 1, and document 2 on monitor 2 and be able to select an object in document 1, copy, then paste it into document 2 without having to minimise...

Is it possible to open 2 different files on a dual monitor setup? I need to copy/paste a bunch of info from one .CDR file to a new document I'm creating, I can't figure out how to open the existing file on one monitor, and the new file on my second monitor, is it possible? Using Corel draw 2018

It's refreshing to see a world leader think before they act, it's becoming less common these days, I imagine if the situation was reversed it would be a much different story.

Yes you do, however there is only 1 mill in the world that makes the specific type of wood pulp needed to make N95 masks, and it's in canada. I'm sure you could set up a mill in the states that could do it, but when? If your president thought before he spoke we wouldn't have to be having this...

Since most 3D printed items are not solid in the middle, I think there would be issues with the piece filling with water, then freezing in winter and cracking. None of the 3D printed parts ive ever seen look to have tight enough tolerances to be waterproof. 3d printing as it currently stands is...

I don't think it's economically feasible, 3D printing is a very slow process, and the end product leaves much to be desired from both an esthetics and weatherability stand point. Order them from gemini, put your mark up on it and move on.
