I do banners for the high school. Some lady types each kids name and sport on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. They hand the paper to the kid and ask them if their name is spelled correctly, take a of pic them holding it up then take about 4-5 posed photos. Every year there are a few kids who don't see...

People get on my nerves more each day. Many people cannot make a decision and rely on me to make the decisions for them. Fine with me. I hate it when people just come in and have zero idea what they want. They don't know their email or website, half of them don't seem to know what services...

Are you serious? Not only is the spelling wrong but this looks like a word document!

Some people insist on using LLC. I make it small and sometimes make it vertical

Once I sent them the price they decided to go with the economy. I did tell them at the cheaper price point they can buy a few extra and replace if needed. They agreed. I think I'm going to order some spider stakes just to try out!

My mom is still using QB 2008 on her desktop LOL My sister and I set it up for her when she bought her first computer.

The school district wants 200 yard signs but they don't like the metal sign stakes. I've never used anything else except the metal economy or heavy duty. Has anyone used the spider stakes and do they last longer? They complain the metal ones bend too much.

6am start time. Large fans. Cooling neck things you get on Amazon. Dilly bars. Humidifier - humidity is the biggest issue for me personally.

Before you start making your own transfers you should order some so you know what they are all about and compare the feel to actual screen print. There's lots of places that offer free or shipping only transfer sample packs. My friend does screen printing and she often prints a few extra per...

I'd like to propose banning Papyrus. I'll have to give AOC a call this weekend, I'm sure she will be happy to start some kind of legislation :roflmao:

Flexi, it's the only one I ever used so I have nothing to compare it to. For me, it seems to work pretty well. I still can't figure out how to kiss cut but I haven't tried very hard either.

How do the ad's work on this forum? I just saw one of my customers local ads. I guess it surprised me...I'm not saavy with this kind of thing. Obviously I've seen a million things that I google throughout the day but was surprised to see a local company!

Find someone (a friend, relative) that is starting a business. Do the logo for free, do some vehicle graphics at cost, maybe some business cards. I started with lettering late models at my local dirt track. Payment upfront is a MUST - it's really not a good idea to mess with race cars cuz you...

WOW! This is priceless! Mr. Ota...thank you for sharing and ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT!!!

LOL!!! Considering there's a good chance this thing will only be used once and then parked again, I shouldn't be overly concerned either...it's the sun that will do the most damage!

OP - Definitely consider Gino's advice with insurance, permits, etc. These are things that the "other sign shop" have. It's one reason they are 2 months out. Insurance is VERY important. If you want to proceed forward, call for insurance - you already have business insurance so this should...

I use it here and there but I don't like it. I agree it's very "Vote for Pedro-ish"

You're labor is too low. You should charge a minimum of $80+ per hour in-shop. More for on-site. I made the same mistake when I started I only charged $65hr then found out quickly I had to jack it up or not pay my bills.

There was vinyl on there and they have most of it removed. There's just maybe 3 square feet on one side to remove yet. It was lettered probably 20 years ago. The truck is from the 80's and it's been sitting for 10 years. He did tell me it's very well insulated and has a tank inside the tank? I...

I have to put the company name on a tanker that will never get washed and only used twice a year. The tank is steel - not stainless and used for asphalt. I'm wondering if I can just use Oracal 751 on this?
