  1. Are you kidding me?

    For over a decade, I have done signs for a non profit. Last time I raised my base price for their signs was in 2019. I've seen coroplast in my area go up 40% since 2019 Inks have almost doubled, vinyl has had an increase etc. So I raised my prices based on past & current rates. I was...
  2. How to increase sales in 2022!

    I actually enjoyed the videos posted on YouTube of the individuals electrified trying to pull up signs. I print rolls upon rolls of vinyl to make signs. Now I actually have clients asking for card board signs, cause they fear their signs will be destroyed or vandalized. I'm also a print shop...

  4. Trade Print Services

    I've been in a print forum for over 25 years. We are printers that help each other out with daily issues. I had posted on the forum that 4Over had a retail company. I mistakenly called that number and they had told me you have to contact our wholesale number. Two months after that post...
  5. Trade Print Services

    I stopped using 4OVER when I found out they go after your accounts. I'm speaking about a decade ago. They took noticed of volume of orders coming from a particular client. We would send 8-10 orders a week. NYC Hospital account. Lucky we have a strong relationship.
  6. A Very Organized Sign Shop

    I've seen his video on how to create the deconstruction & recreating the roller on table. But I don't have the talent to start it.
  7. site surveys

    Gino HELL NO! LOL If there was that much to figure out, it wouldn't be in our strike zone. Most we ever had to survey was 3 locations We came in at our price, with survey embedded. So I guess we do charge, but not listed in quote.
  8. site surveys

    We never charge for the survey. We incorporate it into the quote. Input is on our install pricing.
  9. No Snowflakes or Bleedinghearts need to post

    MEDIA? We don't have a media anymore. They are all controlled and scripted. I say eye for an eye. Same day Service. No Extra Charge!
  10. Client refusing payment

    There are so many things I would love to do to these non complaint payors. I have send three bad clients a decade ago with a letter stipulating that since payment hasn't been made. You leave me no choice. To write off this debt, we will use IRS form 1099-A, which will show the IRS that the $X...
  11. Can PDF's Carry a Virus?

    I've had issues in the past with many files submitted by clients. Must have no clue that their systems have problems. 7 years ago I purchased Eset system. I had no problems since. A good prevention software can help you analyze a file before opening. Sign Up!
  12. 10x40 banner

    Obviously using an 18 oz material will help. When we receive orders that are more than 20' long. Every 2' we reinforce behind grommets with a square piece of coroplast. Takes a little more time and effort, but ultimately secures it better than not having it. Sign Up!
  13. Is my pricing too high for printed vinyl?

    Huh? Market? You are your own market. You set you own price. If I ever were to be involved in setting a market price. I am out of here. I haven't worked this hard to become a business where I have a set price. On average, we sell @$9 sq ft for printing. Lowest I will go is $4 sq ft...
  14. Application table.

    I've been using some old BIg Squeegies I've purchased aluminum units but table is not flat enough for them. The plastic units work well on one side of table. What I'm loving in this video. I will be able to also do laminations. Can you recommend a unit? TIA
  15. Application table.

    Really? Can I be a PITA and ask if you can help with a link to show how this works?
  16. Application table.

    I've seen videos that a worker was applying vinyl on irregular boards and the usual sizes. Any equipment that can be used instead of an $12K full table unit? TIA
  17. Banner Wholesalers

    We have a Mutoh 1624 that when we are busy it make sense ($) to outsource to 365
  18. Banner Wholesalers

    What is preventing you from bringing it in-house? I purchased my first unit when I was outsourcing $1200-$1500 a month. If you are no where near that volume than continue outsourcing, but don't get upset for 25¢ increase.
  19. Graphtec FC7000 vs FC8600

    I have an FC7000MK-2-75 that is ready to retire. Great for 30" but I want to go up to 54" also. I noticed there is no mention of Summas. Any reason why?
  20. Merry Christmas! I finally bought a printer
