The 2 companies I work for use Signsearch for installs out of their area. You might want to join Sign Syndicate and look at their registry of national companies and how they rate. Get a hold of account executives and see if you can get on their bid lists... Another thing you might want to...

I agree with everything you said but this... Most sign shop designers still lack design finesse. Though he needs to be a good designer to be profitable, outsourcing design - if thats his weakness - is not a bad idea till you get better at design. To the OP I know the OP said he's been...

It's awesome that an ADA vendor noticed... but don't count on ADA fabricators to point out compliancy issues or them being 100% correct. I have to deal with all kinds of issues with "qualified" ADA fabricators.

Print it out full size... to me the type is small, the pattern is small

I just saw a post of the work you do, I'm a big fan of themed graphics, Dillon Works being my favorite. I just came across another place near me in an article in a local paper... http://storylandstudios.com/ I've had the pleasure of working with these guys on some things too, he's pretty...

Weird place to put this but.... 3D Studio Max is $3,675.00 Sketchup Pro is $599.00 The learning curve... 90% here are vinyl shops and have no need for either. Of the shops I worked with that do CNC, they use whatever they need to get it into their CNC software If I had to do...

If this is an exterior sign, would code allow it? Pretty sure Intersate Electric still carries flashers/animators http://www.iecdelivers.com/wp-content/uploads/Product%20Images/IEC09_Catalog-lowres-ALL.pdf Pages A-34 thru A-37 Or Here... http://www.sfsupplies.com/default.sfs?categoryid=80

In order to stay on topic.... to the OP... You want to be able to buy a new, better, faster computer... printer... laminator... then... afford insurance, retirement, college for the kids, a vacation once in a while... Charge accordingly Not every 100 buck sign job turns into...

Having started in graphic design that included sign painting earlier than Jill I can attest to the blow having lost all my production skills to the computer. It took a while to figure out what was going on, and I refused to use one. I ended up in construction (which paid a hell of a lot more...

Being that the OP is in the Bahamas, a country of only about 377,000. I don't think there are schools for sign making. The US has 100 times it's population and we only have a handful of schools which makes it nearly impossible for the average person to go unless they are close to the schools...

2CT MEDIA.... just keep doing what your doing. Seems to me that when you take one part of the industry, like digital printing, master it, get a few regular clients, you can make some decent cash while being extremely competitive. I'm sure your competition hates you, but that's the breaks...

Would be easier than hacking off the goods, I'm not letting them go without a fight... geez, they're hardly, used!!! Now they don't mean anything? I want my friggin' door and door sign!!!!

The door sign on the restroom is a California only code sign. For Women, it's a 12" circle, 1/4" thick, and must have some contrast with the door. 9 times out 10, it's usually a light door, most off the shelf signs are compliant. Then someone either decides a dark door was in order, or...

Most of the projects we deal with have this issue. We try to have core signage ready for install. One of my clients does work across the country so it can sometimes be an expensive trip. What happens usually when my clients get the call is, the installers are fumbling over carpet, tile...

In California, A licensed sign contractor has 2 avenues of recourse for non-payment. A lein, and/or lawsuit. On repossessing, I have heard of some contractors adding that to a contract, but from what I understand, you have to have the client initial that part as an acknowledgment, I...

Thing is... Every idiot on the planet knows where to get an Apple computer so I'm thinking, when someone comes here asking where to get a computer, they are asking for a PC/Windows machine. 70% of the things said about Apple on this thread is either absurd, or comes from some odd placed...

What a bunch of fanboy clowns... at least go at it on a recent thread! We have a forum Jesus... this was resurrected from 3 months ago. I'm pretty sure this cat got his computer and is having the time of his life (or cursing the screen) I also agree with Signmaniac by the way... I...

Can I offer you some different information or are you just looking for that... Quite frankly, a one printer operation stuck to a brand that does not say digital graphics is going to need or go about something in a completely different manner than a company doing a billion a year in print sales.

That's a good eye! Too cartoony for my taste. Unless he was instructed to do that... an artist taking liberties like that is not cool.

That song could never be stuck in my head... not saying it's a bad song... it's because right now, the song stuck in my head is my kid's alarm... it's some cartoon theme song with a cat meowing the entire time... drives me crazy. In a few minutes Gigi will come in the office, crank up the...
