Well, you have to start somewhere so if the printer in question works and is in your budget then go for it. The best thing you can do is look on YouTube and see how the printer in question works, what kind of quality the prints are, watch someone print then cut. Start small and if things go good...

I'm not sure if you should screw into the metal. I like the rope idea best. Is the rope going to slip down the post? Just throwing this out there...could you use rope on the top corners also and get it around that bottom part of the sign just to make sure it doesn't slip down the posts? It...

I'm in the same boat as The Sign Goddess. I also have a minimum of $25 - no matter how small. I usually tell people those small orders get put on with larger orders so they will have to wait until I run the material again. Most people are fine with waiting. I'm in a small town and have a decent...

A few of the 15oz 2'x4' banners I made for the school were put on a chain link fence in the baseball area. The wind zips through violently, banners were fine but the zip ties broke. I was happy to hear the banner didn't tear at the grommets. They moved the banners to another area and they have...

Maybe they don't plan to light the signs? I used to love going to the mall...our closet one closed years ago.

Exactly what weyandsign said. This is the case where you need to hand trim to create perfection.

I would find something else to make. I have made a couple here and there for locals who are refinishing antique tractors or antique snowmobiles but would never try to sell online or produce multiples of any one thing. Plenty of other work to do.

IDK - I worked in a marketing department that had onsite staff of 40 just in one division, 20 in another and 50 in various states. I was involved in the resume and hiring process with several new employees. His resume (I'm guessing not as in-your-face as the tone here) would have gotten serious...

I'm still stuck on "Get used to it" to start the thread. Who on earth says that???? People are not going to be nice to you on this site - GET USED TO IT.

I think most of them are subscription based now? I know you can buy single templates on Mr. Clipart, not sure about Pro Vehicle OL.

I always thought about getting the tubing and the sealer Gary posted. Hmm, maybe that will be my next purchase! I wouldn't have to cut any bags down then.

There's a post here somewhere when I made my first sign and people posts pics of examples. Ya - I thought you weren't supposed to paint PT the first season? At least up here "my Dad" always tells me I have to wait to stain my fence or whatever else I make at home out of PT. Wasn't sure if that...

I also do materials x2 plus labor. You should also have a minimum installation cost which includes one hour at XX and then XX per hour after that. Don't forget that with installation it takes time to pack up the signs, gather any tools or screws/nuts, etc. The pricing table is a great idea...

I use Gino's template, similar to what Texas shows. I use PT but never had to paint any yet.

Are people using boxes for pick-up orders also? For pick-up orders, I use clear bags from Uline that are 12"x30" and 6" bags for decals. I buy 1,000 at a time - lasts a couple years and they are super cheap. Almost every single order I do, including smaller shirt orders goes in that bag. I cut...

IDK guys...I think using the mouse is quicker with the snip tool for quick snips. Two Questions: 1. I tried the Green thing, is there a way to put it on the tool bar? I do like it but it's an extra step because it's in my hidden icons. 2. For the Snip tool, in Windows 11 after I copy...

I usually only print small quantities of banners in house. Problem with these was I got the file the night before the first school meet. Just trim and add 4 grommets, no hemming on those thank goodness! I use Signs365 for banners otherwise. Quick turn around.

I was kinda it was you also LOL!

Just yesterday I had 12 banners to print, a 4' sheet of decals to print and about 24"x 8' of cut vinyl. I printed the decals then switched over to the banners. While the banners were printing I was able to laminate and cut the decals then do my cut vinyl job...works well for me to have 2 machines.

Well if that isn't a perfect example of gtpChat, not sure what is...
