  1. Got my 2nd trademark scam in a week

    We are going through the trademark process and I just recieved our second scam in a week. This one is notable because of the amount they are requesting. For USD1650,00 I can register to be in the International Catalogue of Trademarks - 2012. I only have to send the money to some place in...
  2. compression shirts

    San Mar used to market them under their Sport-Tek brand but stopped a year ago. We sold a lot of them and complained they didn't give enough time to make it work. Both Bomark and Kroll carry compression shirts.
  3. compression shirts

    San Mar used to have them. Bomark has them as well as Kroll
  4. Oh Boy

    Yeah, we don't like emb on moisture wicking shirts for that reason. The stitching will not register right if not done with a lot of care. We always sew out on scrap material that matches what we are going to end up on. Solid graphics on thin material just sucks. We often add heavy stabilizer...
  5. printing 1 color invoices?!!!?!?

    We just use the ones in quickbooks.
  6. Accepting Purchase Orders?

    We do accept a PO but new customer pay 100% up front. Established pay 50% down. Balance is due at pickup. We don't do terms. The PO is an added benefit for us because it establishes the intent of the customer to place an order and pay and puts in writing what they want. Good for when you have to...
  7. Space Shuttle just flew over my shop!

    The end of the road was today in Los Angeles. I saw it running up the coast west of Disneyland up to Long Beach and then one final loop around LAX. It was sad to see it go but inspiring at the same time. The next time it is in public will be on a tow truck to its final resting place. Now...
  8. New here, looks like a good find so far

    It is so much faster to just get out the pen tool and do it by hand than to do an auto trace unless the artwork is perfect and even then you will still have to edit it. If you don't have a wacom tablet, get one. I don't use a mouse any more for anything. I use the tablet for everything.
  9. Who wholesales blank pens?

    We once thought that too. We sold our pad printer and blank pens and just go through an ASI supplier. Much less hassle.
  10. Something to think about if you are looking into getting a DTG printer

    I spoke with a couple of our vendors for parts today and found out that yes, the parts are more expensive but that epson is choking off the aftermarket sales as well. We have a local authorized epson repair shop and they will install a print head that they supply but I can't just buy it from...
  11. Something to think about if you are looking into getting a DTG printer

    For the epson based printers. Epson has gotten real crappy about letting parts out for these printers. The print heads for the 2200 went from around $200 to nearly $500 and then you had to have a printer serial number to get one. Now it looks like they have pulled the plug and you can't get...
  12. New here, looks like a good find so far

    Welcome from Southern California, Poker Capital of The World.
  13. Paid order, customer says keep the product. Go figure.

    We normally only take name and phone number. Normally we do 100% up front but this group is part of a ball club that does a lot of work with us so we do 50% down for them. It is pretty normal to get several different people placing orders for the different sub groups. I don't think we...
  14. Sole Proprietorship vs. C Corporation vs. S Corporation vs. LLC?

    LLC works pretty much like an S corp.
  15. Sole Proprietorship vs. C Corporation vs. S Corporation vs. LLC?

    We are a C-Corp. It is the only entity that can give unlimited non-taxable benefits and allows you to have a tax year that is different than a calendar year.
  16. Paid order, customer says keep the product. Go figure.

    Well shipping them would be hard. We don't have an address, just a couple of credit card slips. The shirts are on our 'finished' shelf waiting to be picked up.
  17. Paid order, customer says keep the product. Go figure.

    Customer comes in and orders 8 baseball jerseys. Ok, not sure why there are only 8 but so what, work is work. Artwork is supplied and we have to match exact. 50% deposit and we order the blanks. Blanks come in and we put the name/number drops on the back. Getting ready to do the fronts and we...
  18. missing a customer

    Each month we look at our previous year customer orders and give them a call to see if they want a repeat order. August was both sad and happy for us. On the happy side we had a big order in August 2011 for a person that was demanding and time consuming. While it resulted in a big chunk of...

    marco awards group maybe? www.discount-trophy.com
