  1. Wondering if there's a vendor out there offering.....

    Grimco will give you one cut for free. Then it's like a dollar or 5 dollars or something like that. So if we need to make a 2x16, we can have Grimco cut the 4x8 in half. But we also buy 5 or 10 sheets at a time to keep on hand, so if we need to cut them up, we just get out a ruler and knife. Use...
  2. When you outsource, do you tell the customer?

    You should not feel bad taking home the markup. You mark jobs like that up 50% or more because if it does get messed up, you are going to have to buy it again for your customer.
  3. Looking for wholesaler to supply promotional pens, etc.

    Garland made Nancy's bullet pens
  4. Familiar slanted square narrow font

    Try Compacta
  5. Need Help Graphtec 9000-75

    The weird corners on the letters is wrong offset for your blade. Not sure about the jagged diagonal cuts.
  6. Can you run a Large format off a laptop?

    The other reason laptops aren't as fast is that they have poor thermal characteristics, which result in high performance processors throttling back to slower speeds in order to lower the temperature. As another poster on another thread has found out as well, laptops typically come with settings...
  7. W9 frenzy

    Should, should, should, but that doesn't mean they do. I'm just relaying my experience. It's been a few years now that everyone we sell to asks for W9's at the beginning of every year. And since I know I have to send 1099's to all my vendors as well (meaning I have to get W9's from them too), I...
  8. W9 frenzy

    You can impute nefarious conduct on the customer's part, but what I find is usually the case is that the people who do purchasing don't have anything to do with the paying, and it's not until the bill is submitted that the payables department gets hold of it, and depending on their efficiency or...
  9. W9 frenzy

    My apologies. Though it was part of the ACA, that requirement was repealed in 2011 when the Republicans took the House. However the requirements for filing 1099's have been changing every year by rulemaking to the point that this is now the way you have to deal with it: Source...
  10. W9 frenzy

    This has nothing to do with contractor laws. It has to do with Obamacare and the changes they made back then in who is required to get a 1099. If they are asking for W9's now, it's because they have a company policy not to pay any bill without a W9 on hand for the vendor. Then at the end of the...
  11. Sales tax question

    New laws prohibit doing what your employer did, which was pay you as contract labor.
  12. WalMart Install 10x8 mural for $240 fair?

    Not much different from what Staples did. Or FedEx/Kinko's
  13. Sales tax question

    That was not a personal jab to you; just that it is amazing to me how many people are on this thread advocating that the OP should break the law.
  14. Sales tax question

    Yes, I would charge sales tax if he's using the graphics to sell the trailer. He's still the end user. Is every sign maker so dense? There should be no question or argument about this. Try not withholding tax on your employees some day and telling the IRS that it's the employee's...
  15. Font Identification help

    At first glance I'd say Optima, Impact and Arial.
  16. Sales tax question

    You're conflating use tax and sales tax. Use tax is what a consumer pays for goods purchased through a channel which does not charge sales tax, i.e. internet sales. Sales tax is required to be collected by the vendor. If you have a resale sales license, you are bound to collect sales tax on...
  17. Carbon Monoxide PSA

    But if your house is all electric, like ours, they are pretty unnecessary.
  18. Sales tax question

    Things that you buy in your business which are not going into the products you sell are not tax exempt. You may be allowed an income tax deduction for them but you still pay sales tax on them. You need a computer for design or billing? You'll pay sales tax on it, but get to depreciate/tax deduct...
  19. WalMart Install 10x8 mural for $240 fair?

    And to the cost of your insurance...
  20. Sales tax question

    Charge them sales tax. Even though he is a reseller, he is not exempt from all sales tax like a charitable or government entity. The Wisconsin form exemption for commercial trailer doesn't apply to his box trailer. It's for commercial cartage. And besides, you're not selling him the trailer...
