  1. Reasonable percentage for "Finder's Fee"?

    I've got two print brokers that I do work through. If they just send me the lead and I make the sale I'll kick them around 10% (I just kind of make it up based on whatever the job paid, how much of a pain the customer was, etc.) They're gonna have to do more than just call me and say "Hey, I...
  2. Oh boy! I get to do some research tonite on a new cutter.

    Gotta recommend the Summa. They're rock solid little workhorses. Roland's aren't bad and we used the heck out of the ones we owned but switching to Summa was the smartest thing we ever did. If....and it's a big IF, you ever need service Summa tech support is almost instant and they actually...
  3. What are you reading now?

    The Art of Color: The Subjective Experience and Objective Rationale of Color by Johannes Itten Pretty dang interesting. It looks at color and color theory from a physics standpoint. I had to borrow it from a designer in town....the dang thing is $700.

  6. Know what I hate?

    I hate it when that happens. Billy Crystal's finest moment on SNL. http://www.hulu.com/watch/273975
  7. Which sign hangers work with this type of sign?

    Yeah, keep it all on one panel if possible. If not keep the bottom panel as close as possible to the top one. If you leave too much chain there it's going to flap all over the place.
  8. Does all reflective vinyl cost an arm & a leg?

    Nikkalite is the easiest to apply reflective I've ever used and you can buy full rolls directly from the manufacturer for about 1/2 of what suppliers charge.
  9. Vinyl shops in mall?

    None here. I got approached about doing it years ago and laughed at them. Required to be open 9:00am - 9:00pm Monday-Saturday and 1:00-6:00 on Sundays, rent double what comporable space would be, and a never ending stream of walk-in "How much is a sign?" questions. Nope.
  10. J. K. Rowling's, "Casual Vacancy"

    She caught lightning in a bottle with the success of the Potter books. She can say what she wants about retiring the series....I'm still betting there's a whole series of Harry Potter, Jr. books coming out in the future.

  13. Sign companies raping other sign companies

    Sorry man, that just stuck out at me. You want them to use their investment at a discount for you so you can take enough of their business to become a competitor. That's what you're saying there.
  14. Sign companies raping other sign companies

    That's only a working height of 14'. You can always go the redneck route, rent a uhaul truck, climb on top and get to work.
  15. Sign companies raping other sign companies

    What's it matter? You're just passing the cost along to your customer, right?
  16. Font ID

    Top is Brush 445. Bottom is Compacta
  17. Anybody heard from Charlie at Rogue Roller?

    Somebody brought it up on another thread and I never saw it answered. Anybody heard from him? He was posting here frequently then just dropped off the map. His website and phone are both down. Just hoping nothing happened to him. The guy almost begged people to let him share anything he...
  18. Political signs...

    Lat mayoral election in my town it became a pretty big issue the week before the election. One of the candidates (the guy who won) spent every dime of his campaign budget locally and spread it between the sign and printing shops. His opponent spent almost his entire budget with cheap internet...
  19. Alley Kat - help needed

    True, I was just trying to see if this one went anywhere.
  20. Political signs...

    Back when we were doing screenprinting we'd have never sold them that cheap but two guys could have knocked that job out in an hour and a half. That's using incredibly old, outdated equipment and manually loading and pulling screens. You knock out three or four of those a day you're making...
