  1. Customer permission to post job pics online?

    Yes - I post them on my page. For the nicer jobs and new businesses I typically tell them ahead, I don't really ask but nobody has said no to me yet. The other random jobs I just post and again, nobody has said anything. Adding a line item like Gino said - this is something I'm going to do, good...
  2. Computer type

    My shop doesn't have mail either, I have a PO box - been there, done that and it sucks! For the computer - can you grab an external hard drive and dump all the files on there then delete from your computer and defragment? That's what I did and my computer has been running well. Not sure if it...
  3. Customer permission to post job pics online?

    I post pretty much every job. If I did not do the art, I say something like this, "Gnubler brought us this print-ready artwork. We printed and laminated using high performance vinyl then installed." If it's a crappy logo then..."Gnubler brought us her logo and we worked together to create the...

    You are a wealth of knowledge today! Very informative...thank you!
  5. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    Gosh that sounds delicious! My grandma was an excellent cook. She had a notebook which she wrote all the holiday meals in, who was there, how much food, everything she made, etc. Pretty cool to look back on it. I've started making freezer meals on Saturday mornings for the week ahead. Some of...
  6. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    I don't know much about Greek people. I don't think I know any Greek people, do I? Are there Greek celebrities? Are any of you Greek? I do enjoy scouring the internet to learn about different cultures. Sounds like a good topic for me to cover this Christmas break LOL
  7. So.....................................

    I struggled also, I was able to post one thing but it took several attempts
  8. custom target practice sheets?

    If you want adhesive background, you can order from FireSprint.com - they are on here. If you are looking for just paper ones then a place like 4over might be a good option. Both are wholesalers with fast turnaround and shipping.

    Got some Christmas baking done. Oatmeal cookies, salted caramel pretzels, nipples and balls! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Where can I buy an original Big Squeegee brand laminator tool?

    Thread a bungee cord through it and hook it to the sides, works great! Just enough resistance to keep it on there.
  11. Discussion Plotter/Cutter of Choice?

    My favorite has been my Graphtec.
  12. Cutting out a picture.

    The best way to do this is what weyandsign said. You cannot crop if you rotate. Some clipart I have used the transparency tool to remove the background and touch up with the eraser or I upload it to Adobe and remove the background.
  13. Need Help Disclaimer for too much information / text?

    I actually have XRay vision and was able to see through the red scribbles.
  14. Getting a better quality image from a low quality image

    I just finished up a magazine ad for an Amish guy. He couldn't understand why "my machine" couldn't make his horse turn to look at us.
  15. Need Help Disclaimer for too much information / text?

    If I have bad designs where "the customer is always right" I either don't post them or I post them during a time where I know nobody is on social media...like a Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. I use the best possible angle or a strange angle. Sometimes I private message the bad ones to...
  16. font for the declaration of independence

    Unclebun beat me to it. Timothy Matlock Font. LOL
  17. Bounced Checks

    I'm usually a rule follower but...if you charge $65 who is going to know the law states $50? If they bounce a check and then call you out on your $65, then play dumb and go with the $50.
  18. Suggestions Large Wall Graphic - Application Tape Question

    I've ordered lots a these from Signs365 and never added application tape as long as they are one big piece. I tell them to use a heat gun or blow dryer after and use their fingers to get the vinyl to conform to the wall texture. So far, I've had very good luck.
  19. Suggestions Large Wall Graphic - Application Tape Question

    If the print is a solid rectangle then no need for any app tape. The vinyl + laminate is thick enough, just instruct them to use a felt squeegee or wrap one in an old tshirt or felt scrap. If it's contour cut then just add 4 strips of what you have at your shop.
  20. Waste Ink

    I've made a hand full of signs for apartment buildings in the area that state they renter will get a fine if the landlord gets one...something to that effect. I know two people who got $30-ish fines. Garbage day is Monday so I'm guessing the garbage men are crabby from the Packers always losing...
