  1. Can I do this without employees...

    Update... To answer a few questions, I've never really worked for anyone else in my life. Grew up working on my parents dairy farm, backed upped my first tractor, baler and wagon combo well before I hit my teens, spent 4 years in the service, came back to the farm, started this as a hobby in my...
  2. Can I do this without employees...

    iSign, For me, you hit this right on the head. I'll admit freely that I'm not great "boss" material, I work, that's my thing. I'm not a good "teacher", I lose my patience with people that can't even pick up on the obvious. I learn everything by just doing it and figure others should be able to...
  3. Can I do this without employees...

    There is never a lack of work.
  4. Can I do this without employees...

    That's the question I keep asking myself. This is my 13th year in business, I've had up to 7 people working here at once. Right now there's myself and 3 others, my gf/fiancée, one "whatever needs to be done guy" (shows up whenever he rolls out of bed, but works his butt off while he's here) and...
  5. Pricing 4x4 signs?

    "He tells me I need to get better equipment to get my prices lower." This statement from a customer would stop the order dead in it's tracks.
  6. Teaser piece

    Love your attention to detail, even on your proofs. The grass, weeds and dirt weren't really needed, but shows you care.
  7. Fabric Printing??

    Everyone seems to be subbing out flags, table covering or any fabrics. I got my hands on a reduced price roll of Apollo Flag and thought I'd give it a go. Just got it in today so I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Guess my question to everyone that's attempted to print fabric in house, is it...
  8. New machine arriving Tuesday. Need to know which ink configuration I want. Help!

    What do most of you have your Color Management settings at in Versaworks? We used the default for years, because it's all I knew and colors always look good for what we do. Just had a new printer installed and the tech set both our printers to MAX Density US. What a difference. I do notice that...
  9. Sign Painter the Movie, panel discussion

    I see Amazon has the movie as an "Instant Video" that you can rent or buy. Does anyone know if there's a DVD out yet? I always wonder if anyone else notices the old and faded hand painted signs on the buildings in town. Most are on out of the way side streets where an old Mom & Pop used to be. I...
  10. print on a vs640 cut on a sp540I

    Not to be an a$$, but can't you just try it? Print a small job and see if it works?
  11. Hey Congrats SIGNMANIAC!!!!!

    Congrats! Just got ours in the mail today. I always stop what I'm doing and thumb thought it quick. Saw your Skywatch logo and said "Hey...I know that guy!" (by "know", means I've seen you here, lol) Still cool. :-) Awesome work!
  12. Where to hire Mind Readers?

    Thanks again, some really great replies. Yes Neato, most of the frustration comes from working for free. The rest is from the one's that don't know what they want, but somehow believe that you have some insight into the workings of their mind.
  13. Where to hire Mind Readers?

    Thank you for the replies :-) Everyone have a great day.
  14. Where to hire Mind Readers?

    I know we're to blame for some miscommunications, but not all. Customer with a food cart ask for a sign with sausage and pepsi on it. They pay, we design and send a proof. Get a response back, "we sell sausage patties, not links. We sell pepsi in a can (we put a cup on the sign). We can't use...

    Thank you :-)
  16. Clear Shield Liquid Lam

    Looking for a reliable supplier. None of my distributors in NY carry it. Thanks :-)
  17. New Shop Toy!

    Well I've had my new Flether FSC for about 2 weeks now and LOVE it! Saw the one Gino has when I visited his shop and knew then I had to have one. I cut down alot of coro and although the coro tool does a good job of cutting along the flutes, it took time (measuring each piece) and the cuts are...
  18. Blank Banner

    Does anyone have a reliable source for heavy, durable blank banners that could be used for over the road?
  19. Deposit, deposit....

    Not sure of the people you're dealing with, but when dealing with any town or county government most boards meet once a month. During that meeting all bills are gone over and either approved or questioned. If questioned they may be tabled until the next meeting. Most are never questioned because...
