  1. Declining jobs based on moral/ethical grounds

    We have turned down a few things in the past, mostly around counterfeit products. We really don't get those requests any more. Our customers are either repeat or referral. I would turn down anything that is illegal or associated with someone or a group that is associated with crime. Otherwise...
  2. New banner request for us, Banner on a Banner with Velcro

    I agree. Also, doing the 2 sets more than doubles the cost.
  3. New banner request for us, Banner on a Banner with Velcro

    They want to give the pennants to the kids at the end of the season so using removable vinyl won't work.
  4. New banner request for us, Banner on a Banner with Velcro

    We do a lot of team sponsor banners for youth sports. They last about 2 or 3 months and then are taken down. So we get a request for a banner to have smaller banners on it (pennant types) with velcro to stick the smaller parts to the larger banner. Normally, we provide the banner with cut lines...
  5. Vinyl by the yard

    We only buy 25 or 50 yards and if it sits, it sits. We mostly do printed anymore so the single color cut sits around waiting for a special job. At some point we will put it on Craigslist to get rid of it.
  6. Super Bowl

    I took the kids to Disneyland. Listened to the last 90 seconds on the radio going home. But.... As predicted, https://ktla.com/news/local-news/super-bowl-many-maskless-fans-seen-at-sofi-stadium/
  7. Convoy Banners

    I would use the mesh if they are like overpasses here where they would be on a fence or other barrier with holes in it. BTW, get your money up front. These things don't last for long and they may run out of funds.
  8. Supply Chain Issues

    There are shortages of everything. We have some items that have been out of stock for 6 months that we have orders for. In December 2021 the entire inventory in the USA of black flexfit hats was 70 and we had all of them. Want a black t-shirt? Forget it, need twill? Nope. Softball jerseys? Nada...
  9. Pantone color book?

    Yeah, the bridge book is great. When a color is way off in the book we know to make adjustments or pick another color.
  10. Pricing Formulas

    We work on a shop rate/profit per hour we want to make. Calculating time is a little challenging but once you have it down it works pretty well. We take material cost and figure out how long it will be and add the shop rate on top of that and we have the amount. This will vary our margins but in...
  11. font number?

    For the number only. Arial was close the but the 9's are not right. TIA
  12. PayPal Scam

    All of those services can do that and good luck getting anyone on the phone. This is why we only use a merchant processor. They actually have rules that they follow and don't do crap like this.
  13. PayPal Scam

    Never use these unregulated payment services. They are simply awful. As much as merchant processors are scum, they at least have a resolution process for chargebacks and have a phone number you can call. Forget pay pal. zell, square and all the other scum sites.
  14. Any tricks for centering graphics on T-shirt heat transfers?

    We use a clear center point ruler. that is 24 inches long and 2 inches wide. We use the 2 inches to space the print from the top. If we want say 6 inches we roll it twice from the top to get 6 inches. Keep in mind that depending on the brand of shirt it will not be sewn straight or even. Quite...
  15. Vectorizing Help

    Try https://vectormagic.com/ I just did a copy/paste from your posted image with this result.
  16. Rotary engravers

    We had a small, table top Roland engraver and it did a good job.
  17. Sheet Metal Edge Bending

    You will need a brake press. There are a number of them out there that will do the job. If you have something that is not very big, Harbor Freight has a hand held version.
  18. Do face masks work?

    I want to go back to my original thought here. Face coverings are mandated in Calfornia for events like this. I had to wear one at a cheer competition last week for my granddaughter at a much smaller venue. Those that impose those mandates and don't follow it and make all kinds of excuses or...
  19. Do face masks work?

    This just in...... Holding your breath keeps covid away. He also said doing so makes it impossible to get covid. https://deadline.com/2022/02/l-a-mayor-garcetti-says-he-held-his-breath-for-maskless-photo-with-magic-johnson-1234925457/
  20. crazy question

    I tell the machine to cut with least movement and it still moves all over. I also have some materials that need 3 or 4 cuts and it does one pass, then the next and so on. I just don't look anymore. VersaWorks 5.x
