  1. Hiring Designers for my Sign Company

    I will 100% disagree with your statement. If you are just pounding out For Sale signs sure. You have to know how to use clipping masked, effects, color combos, text weights, etc and use them effectively. This makes a designer.

    Common problem. We actually switched to the Oracal product. Easy to see with paper transfer tape as well.

  4. Vinyl Image Cracking After Clear Coat

    Never clear coat over vinyl. You are just asking for trouble a few years down the road. Case in point - the problem you are having now. Vinyl/Lam does shrink (yes even cast). Your clear coat is not. Thus the cracking. I believe manufacturers say not clear coat over their products. Not 100%...

  18. Help on staff salary structure:

    Are they doing their work? Are they getting over time? Are you paying them a fair wage? If yes, then why give more if you don’t have to. Now I’m not saying you can’t give a bonus or whatever. I’ll buy lunch on Fridays for everyone, we cook out on the grill, etc. If you appreciate them, let...
