We need to do less than 1000.00 a day to make 2 hundred K a year. That equates to: 2 4'x8' banners which we sell for 160 piece (or 320) 5 foamboard prints 24x36 which we sell for 60 a piece (300) 3 Window Decals Size 3'x4' which we sell for 72 a piece (216) Total comes to over 200k a year in...

Hmm, very literal interpretations here. The question is, how long should these heads last? I haven't had any reason to change them yet. So I thought it was strange. The figures in my opening post are generalized as to what I make a year from inhouse work, and then there is what we make from...

SO, we have had our unit for about 2 years now. We are certainly not a Merritt Graphics company scale wise, but we do couple hundred thousand a year on the machine. My question is concerning the Print Heads. I may be jinxing myself at the moment by saying this, but we have still yet had to...

Branding works for me and my clients I wanted to say that since I have met Dan a few things have happened for my company. 1) Branding has taken on a whole new meaning for me. 2) I lose many jobs for sure, because either they don't want to be told their brand needs work or they can't afford me...

Wow, what a great bunch of responses. Thank you all. Couple of replies. While I don't have direct experience with 3D, I have already completed a nice project for the company. So they are comfortable working with me as they move to Charlotte. Why me, since I have no 3D experience? In Charlotte...

Thanks Craig. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

We have had a fortunate opportunity to take our company another direction. We are strongly considering in the next couple months transforming from a traditional sign shop, to a creative fabricating environment. Equipped with 3, 4 and 5 axis machines. In addition to the support of traditional...

Arlon is pretty upfront about the shrinkage of this product. In fact, it is one of the first things they talk about in the marketing video I saw for it. It happens because of the softness of the adhesive is what they said. No real solution other than trying a different material. I am about to...

Was wondering if there was a list, what would be on that list as commodity products we sign folk offer: Example: Coroplast signs, posters, banners ? I think you could tweak some of those products to not be commodity, if you really customize it for the customer, like building coroplast POP...

The irony for tonight, I will be working overnight, and may sleep here for the first time. I made my bed and must lay in it, but I tell you, this is not a happy situation for the wifey :-) One of our goals for the 2nd quarter, is to fix the scheduling of our jobs.

For the record, I was going to keep this private because John asked me to. He decided to private message me and threaten that if I don't shut my mouth I might lose my other eye. So out of respect (as if!), I kept it private, replying that if he really was man enough to take my other eye, he...

What the hell... Really, you have time for this? You really don't understand my last sentence? Fine forget it. Joe's first line btw was there are indeed old crabby sign painters, but hopefully not in this film. So, someone else got it. I wasn't attacking anyone, and for the second time you...

Wow, OK well I understand now. Guys, I am not that young. I may be younger than some, but I can assure being almost 40, there are plenty on here younger than I. My comment wasn't suppose to antagonize anyone Gino. It was an honest comment. Documentaries can go many different directions, and one...

Well said! I just ordered the book I see a lot of people bashing lately, Mastering Layouts. I'm with you, if there is a chance to learn something, I am all for it. Somewhat similarly, my friend in DC just launched a movie, about a famous graffiti artist "Disco Dan", and it is amazing how much...

I agree, but I didn't start this. Granted I could have just ignored it, but that is a part in my life I am still working on. Bad habits are hard to break. Use to be if someone talked ****, I would simply beat their ***. These days you can't do that, for one you get arrested to easily, and...

That is what my name means, but that doesn't mean I know how to fight. I could just be a huge fan of the sport, and watch on my couch etc...

Gees, guys calm down. I am not being serious at all here. John you are entitled to be a p***k, have at it. I could care less if you love, hate, or whatever my threads or me. Back to the movie, I hope it is not a bunch of crabby old guys whining about change. I hope instead it is an experience...

Thanks for sharing. I recently have pulled out of that kind of situation myself. Taking on projects that were so large, that the rest of my life was eclipsed by these projects. Now, I did ask for those projects, as I wanted to get more experience managing larger projects, and I am grateful that...

You know what? I realize not everybody is going to get along. Not everyone is going to be the same kind of people. What is wrong with leaving people alone if you don't like them? John, it is real tempting to call you out and address your big mouth comments. I fly into your neck of the woods...
