  1. Photo Booth Wrap

    4 paragraphs and I can only make sense of the first sentence!
  2. Window perf lifting in corners... solutions?

    I have not had this issue but I'm glad I read this. I'm going to double check a couple of my window installs this weekend and do this going forward! Always something to learn!
  3. Can anyone help me?

    You are right! LOL - I guess I never needed it so I never really looked too much into the manual. I can only think of one time I would have needed it and that's when I forgot to add a contour cut to a file I had printed. I'll have to try this out, could come in handy one day if I forget again...
  4. Can anyone help me?

    I have the FC700-75 -it's old and to my knowledge it does not have the sensor for cut/print. I have not needed it but I did look the manual over a while back when considering buying a printer and came to the conclusion I would also need a new cutter. Here is the manual - maybe I missed it but...
  5. Employees quit after a few weeks?!?!

    I'm not trying to be funny here...never underestimate the power of Facebook stalking...I do this for potential renters. It's not foolproof but it does give you a glimpse into their lives.
  6. Employees quit after a few weeks?!?!

    I thought about this last night Firesprint and I have to tell you a funny story! A friend/acquaintance offered to help me one Friday set-up my in-store spirit store - for free, no pay as she "works from home" Mondays and Fridays and is getting paid anyway. We had a nice time, it was an...
  7. How to calculate cutting vinyl time and price ??

    Up here over by da lake when you go down by da bar by da crick to buy a brat at the fry out, you buy tree beers you get da fourth free. It's a small town and that's how us bubbler drinkin, fry out, brat lovin people operate :) And just for Gino I'll throw a Guten Himmel in there!
  8. How to calculate cutting vinyl time and price ??

    When I brought my van in for new breaks the invoice was less than the estimate, so my furnace installation. I was very happy. Maybe it's just a small town thing...
  9. Employees quit after a few weeks?!?!

    That's an interesting concept. Most people would prefer not to be fired and have a termination on their work record so this would be a good alternative.
  10. General Formulations...

    It seems a bit thinner than the 3M but I do agree, I like it as well and have been using it also!
  11. How to calculate cutting vinyl time and price ??

    No. I do a base price of square footage and that is based on the complexity of lettering that I picture in my head that I might print for a semi door - name, city, phone, DOT. That is what I use in my head as "normal or basic" lettering. Let's say that's 2 square feet. Now you come in and want 2...
  12. Shirt designs ?

    Yup, check out Etsy for inexpensive svgs. They also have a lot of shirts for sale that you can browse for ideas of these types of sayings to make your own shirts with your own twist. You can see what sayings are hot sellers and what types of shirts, typically Bella Canvas. I use their svgs quite...
  13. Subcontracting Question

    OK, this makes sense. The only way I would do this is if it's "my job" as in I cut the vinyl and install and work with the company to complete. This guy more of a branding company for large companies. They do large signs, all the branding, magazine ads, etc. some of these places have "parts...
  14. Shirt designs ?

    I assumed he was talking about the random shirts on Etsy, Amazon, etc. not a shirt for a business. For $9.99 you can buy 50 svgs and start selling shirts on Etsy. I guess he did mention Electrical so maybe he meant business mock-ups? If that's the case, then make them yourself, you are correct.
  15. Subcontracting Question

    That's exactly what I was thinking!
  16. Subcontracting Question

    I was approached by a newer business (in a town that I do not compete in) to do their vehicle installations. It's two businesses that merged into one and added vehicle installs but they don't have an installer. I'm not sure if they just expected it would be easy to subcontract or they can't find...
  17. Suggestions Best solutions to removing old vinyl

    If I'm struggling with the heat method I use the rubber wheel. It works pretty well although if it's a big job it's hard to sit there with a drill and wheel for hours on end so I tell the customer I need the vehicle for a couple days and I do things in between to give my hands/arms a break. Even...
  18. Paint mask stencil vinyl and latex paint sheen recommendation

    I used to make a ton of wood signs using stencils and paint. I use Oracal stencil mask and dabbed with a sponge brush or used spray paint. You just have to make sure the edges are down good which means some surfaces you might have to press a few letters edges at a time, spray or dab lightly...

    Well, at least I have plenty of purple apparel for the school sitting at my shop...I did panic buy that! LOL

    Certain heat transfer companies are out 7 days plus shipping when it was next day shipping. Boy of boy…Seems it’s all catching up now.
