    Yup! I have a Lenovo Yoga…good idea!
  2. Meeting with corporate buyers

    I identify as being "cis-middle aged-german-dutch-american-retired-woman" but the social security office does not agree so ... NO CHECK FOR ME!
  3. Design fees and payment upfront

    I do the same thing...sometimes I can get even a more complicated design done in a few minutes with a quick texter and thinker on the other end. I love it when it happens like that...
  4. Meeting with corporate buyers

    Thanks all! I just ordered a sample book from Signs365 Notarealsignguy I'll make sure my photo album is clear of naughty photos! Once scrolled through and hit the camping pics...not good...not good at all

    Good idea with the stringer!
  6. Anyone watching the Winter Olympics?

    He didn't get the memo about the Willy Warmer...poor guy
  7. How would you seam this sign?

    I have a situation where the customer wants something light weight sized at 5x10 for a metal building so there's plenty of cross support for screws. I know the 6mm is pretty darn heavy so I was wondering if the 3mm would work. What did you end up doing and how did it work out? I'm hesitant to...
  8. Meeting with corporate buyers

    I guess I was thinking too much into it LOL I do have a library on my phone, a website and FB page so I guess I'll steer him there. I do have to go there because he wants to show me the things I am giving estimates on and it's only 2 blocks away so not much travel involved. Many years ago I...
  9. Meeting with corporate buyers

    As most of you know I'm a one person shop. I've been doing some smaller jobs for a local company and they have been very happy with my work and pricing. The owner now would like to meet with me to talk about more ongoing work such as inside signage, roll labels, etc. His assistant told me he...
  10. Design fees and payment upfront

    Sometimes if I know my design time has been covered and it's a good customer going to apply the design to something I cannot do I will send the artwork. In this situation I would charge them a fee like a logo design fee to release it. It's hard to get money out of people after the fact. I have...
  11. Question what color books do you prefer?

    I like the color bridge also. I also printed the CMYK chart from my printer - I have the 315 also
  12. Insurance providers?

    Acuity
  13. Wanted - A Few Guinea Pigs for Testing

    This is exactly the kind of photo customers send me for banners or other short-medium term jobs. I don't often need the attention to detail like some of the comments but a quick fix for most jobs would be great vs me doing it. I'm not a fan of photo editing. There are sometimes I would need more...
  14. CMKY/pantone Sending artwork for outsource digital printing

    Yes, that is exactly what you need to do. If you are sending to a place like Signs365 there's a color match notes section for you to note the PMS colors. I typically just say Blue = PMSXXX, Red = PMSXXX, etc. It's important to purchase the color bridge like you mentioned. I would suggest before...
  15. Design fees and payment upfront

    One thing I've been doing lately is telling people that the price includes 30 minutes (or whatever) in the price of the banner, sign, etc. if it goes over then I bill at $XX per hour. I say that usually means I'll send you a couple options and that includes one revision. I always tell them to be...
  16. Roll Labels

    I usually use StickerMule and charge for set-up and a % over the cost of the stickers. Since this is more of a PITA than anything for me and not a big money maker I like StickerMule - it's fast and the website is very easy to use. The quality is good and never had anyone complain.
  17. need suggestion for table top 5X10

    I was curious what puckboard was so I found this...exactly what the name implies! https://backyardrink.com/shop/dasher-board-snow-board-puck-board-arena-board-puckboard-poly-tuff-hdpe-rink-board/kick-plate-dasher-cladding-top-stripe/
  18. HIRING ALL POSITIONS DESIGNERS / INSTALLERS / SHOP HELP

    I pay my high school kid $11 cash and he's thinking of going to Walmart for $14.
  19. Declining jobs based on moral/ethical grounds

    I totally agree. I have FB mostly for my business page but I do scroll through sometimes. I do catch myself becoming a little jealous of others sometimes or wonder I wasn't invited to this or that. Then I stop going on it for a while and I don't know anything which is perfect! What you don't...
  20. Declining jobs based on moral/ethical grounds

    Tuesday night there was a high school basketball game. Two best friends play, they both went home after the game. Soon after arriving home one mother heard on FB scanner there was a shooting and texted her best friend, the mother of her son's best friend. She said, "Did you hear there was a...
