    large chains are done by large sign companies who hire locals to do the work most times. the trick is to find the large sign company. with that said, be prepared to get paid at anyhwere from 60 to 120 days for the work. also be prepared to jump thru hoops and do a ton of paperwork to get paid
  4. Directory System - Anyone recognize this?

    why on earth would you silicone the slats in place so they can't be removed???? the whole point is they can be. we service a bank that has this system and they are always changing what floor an office is located on and it would be a nighmare not to be able to move the slats around

  10. Projection/Wall mount signs

    you could try U-brackets but it is asking a lot of them for that size. you could try .25" alumalite and put a bracket on the bottom and on the top. you may have to make a brackets system as at 48" most light weight substrates are too wobbley and substrates that aren't are heavy

  12. Customer Driving Me Nuts

    Polyplastic forms has a cheap indoor foam for interior use. I'd tell her no, we don't sell foam to cut your own, try a hobby store. as far as women being the worst I'd have to say we must be lucky as most of our best customers are women
  13. how to price window frost job?

    I saw it too that you are passing the cost of materials along without a mark up. are you giving that away? if you don't stock frosted vinyl and have no plans for it i wouldn't buy a roll of it. I'd check with Gregory to see if I could get cut strips of it pre-masked and mark that up so I'm...

  17. Employee Raises?

    since they wrote what they did in their own handbook, they should honor that. tell them it is time for the review as it is well over due and keep it professional. you have a right to be ticked off but use that in the right way and don't let them keep putting you off. you are right that the...

    can you make a false front backer to install over the door area? that might help make it look neater as it is kind of a mess now
  19. Clean off Vinyl

    I assume you are printing with a gerber Edge as this is posted in the Gerber section. no need to clean the vinyl if you are using Gerber vinyl. I do run it back and forth for the first couple of feet and let the brushes remove any dust that is on the outside of the roll but nothing more
