  1. Declining jobs based on moral/ethical grounds

    A few weeks ago I was at the grocery store and saw a "ban abortion van" it had a pretty grotesque vinyl wrap (I'm sure you can all imagine the photos on it). Although I did agree with some of what was posted, there's no way I could bring myself to wrap that van. If the message is positive or...
  2. Shop owner passed away...what happens to copyright?

    It was a small shop, the father the main sign-maker and the adult son, I believe part-time, helping with installs. When I asked why the son wasn't taking it over I was told he was recently arrested for a crime against a child. :oops: It appears they subbed some larger sandblasted signs and...
  3. How much would booklet printing cost?

    This must be why a bunch of the books I buy on Amazon have a million spelling errors LOL
  4. How much would booklet printing cost?

    I don't know if they do this but you might want to check out 4OVER or a wholesale printer like that. I'm not sure if she wants lots of copies or just one for herself, but I've made MANY hardcover and soft cover photo books from Walmart or Shutterfly. They are inexpensive and of decent quality...
  5. Ideal portable table to take on install sites.

    This is nice! Looks like it's the perfect height for a trailer or van!
  6. Shop owner passed away...what happens to copyright?

    I think what happened is the man passed away, my friend inquired mostly about the vinyl printer and then the lady told her she didn't want to part anything out and that she would have a meeting with her after she got things settled. I'm guessing the lady thinks she has leverage over this sale...
  7. Shop owner passed away...what happens to copyright?

    That's what I was thinking in regards to the business owner actually owning their own logo and you could only go after the mock up
  8. Shop owner passed away...what happens to copyright?

    I agree with everyone here, the copyrights are worth nothing at this point. I really think I would stay away from the printer if it's not newer. I'm not sure the vinyl rolls are really worth much either. As more time passes, I think we use less and less cut vinyl and more printed vinyl, which...
  9. It could get out of hand...

    That's awesome!
  10. Shop owner passed away...what happens to copyright?

    A good friend of mine has an apparel shop in a small town. The local sign shop owner passed away. She contacted the wife about possibly buying the equipment. She met with her today and the gal wants $150,000. From my understanding, it includes a "struggling" Roland 54" printer, laminator...
  11. Ideal portable table to take on install sites.

    Amazon is where I got this one.
  12. Costing Spreadsheet

    That is a great point! The original intent was to add something extra for rush jobs. It's a little unfinished and I should look up some of the posts on markup vs. margin and maybe create a couple boxes that are more specific. Thanks for pointing that out...I should make note of that in the...
  13. Costing Spreadsheet

    I had actually created a much simpler version of this several months back after I think RJSigns had posted that his wife created a nice spreadsheet for him. It included just a couple drop downs, but no VLookups. Once I saw this post, I began adding drop downs and the VLookups as an added...
  14. Ideal portable table to take on install sites.

    I never needed anything more flat than my old folding table. I do like my cart, fits in the back of the minivan perfectly! Has the basics including a little stool.
  15. Costing Spreadsheet

    I used the above examples and added to my current spreadsheet. I copy/paste the tab, rename it, fill it out when the job comes in with as much as I can, print it, make notes, track time on the paper copy and when the job is done I enter the rest into the sheet and hide the tab once the job is...
  16. Question Design Idea Guide ------- We will buy your designs

    I used some of your Covid sign designs. I thought they looked nice and it saved me design time, I think for certain things, having some artwork ready could be a good idea.
  17. work table top

    I think this goes to show that FireSprint.com has a great point about "miscuts" - because this is a HUGE one. And also, how tough tempered glass is if you protect the edges. This is a customer of mine who was in yesterday and we were talking about tempered glass and he told me he made this...
  18. Applying aluminum sign to side of large garbage type truck

    Ahhh...this is very good to know - it's starting to sound like a variety of attachments is necessary to make this bullet proof. Interesting the welds cracked...
  19. Applying aluminum sign to side of large garbage type truck

    Now that Gino has me scared LOL I will mention that my B/F is a welder by trade so I will run all this past him and he will be doing most of the work. He has made some trailers and piers from scratch for people outside of work so I think he should understand the importance of safety, like Gino...
  20. Applying aluminum sign to side of large garbage type truck
