who died and left you in charge of who and what a person posts on the site?

sounds like you are totally missing the point. it isn't about who is right or wrong. a customer provides the copy they want. it says "price" when it should have said "pride". that is on the customer and no way should a sign person have to do a job over at their own cost. the customer...

we get from national sign companies vinyl to install that is not how we would do it all the time. did they put transfer tape on it or is it the decal only? if it is crappy thick vinyl, probably some cheap calendar, you can try a wet application. if there's transfer tape on it, it makes a wet...

nope that is not true. the customer is the one that dictates the copy if it says "price" when it should say "pride", then it is up to the customer to check that what he wants to say is correct. how many of us have had to make signs with words like "xtreme" "korner" "quik" "cap'n" and so on...

it sounds like the OP copied a supplied picture of what the customer wanted and the picture had errors in copy, not spelling. seems there was a price vs pride mix up in the customers copy and the OP just did what was supplied, exactly as it was written. my question is, did the copy make sense...

we make them read and sign off on the proof using the form attached. it covers spelling and copy errors. ownership of the artwork is also addressed. we also added that the colors in the proof represent the actual colors only. it makes life easier when you lay it all out for customer. on...

www.bcecards.com is a smaller company that does really nice work. we've used them for years. their card stocks aren't flimsy like some and you have the option for raised ink or flat. they do fold over cards along with a lot of other types

it sounds like you just modified their design, is this correct or did you totally design it? if it was their design and you modified it, I assume you charged for that so I would give it to them. if not, things could get sticky if you weren't clear as to who owns that design and the files.

this is not rocket science, it's just a freaking MDO sign with vinyl letters. quote it as you would any job like that and submit it. read the specs they ask for, do not offer up any options other than what they asked for and bid.

we started having issues with paint and talked to a 3M rep. they know about the additives in paints but their excuse is there are so many type of paint with them that they aren't researching a solution. sounds like the maybe Oracal has done the work so maybe we'll give it a try too.

does sound strange

isn't your plotter hardwired into the computer? the 4B wasn't very high tech compared to what's out there today so I doubt if the wireless is doing anything to cause problems. take out the paper and pounce wheel and do a dry run to see if all is OK with the info getting from your computer to...

agree!

Grimco sells them and I think they are in Canada too.

since you've done things for the superbowl, can you use that? the cheap online banners offer only price. you can offer your skills to get attention and there are those out there who will pay extra for that.

we've had the opposite happen. we would do a large sign job and then drive by and see an a-frame or banner. when we asked them why they didn't give us a call, they all said that they thought we only did big jobs. since then when dealing with a customer, we tell the right off that we are their...

what do you make? if one off type signs, that would be no big deal but if your customer wants a sign person and next you are no where to be found, that could be a problem. it would help to know what you do.

these work great. we've sold some for car dealerships. they have a wheel attachment that makes moving them easy and they are good and solid so they stay put once in place.

HDU or durafoam. if durafoam, you might be able to dig into it with your nail so I would bet HDU

thanks for crapping up a decent thread.
