  1. Paying employees to wrap their personal cars to advertise for the company???

    I do not believe OP's idea of wrapping a car and put their signature on a corner will make that car a commercial vehicle. Considering: car mfg emblems, does it make you a Ford Advertiser? "Go Lakers", "LA king Rocks" plastered on the back window, aren't you advertising these teams?
  2. Business + Management for Digital Print Providers + Sign Shops

    I was disappointed as the book subtitled "for Digital Print Providers + Sign Shops", it is NOT so. It is more a general Business Management book, and there are gazillions of them.
  3. Simple question about tax id's

    It is actually the same for us to be exempt from paying sales tax from our suppliers or when we buy product for "re-sale", we will have to provide them with "re-sale" form for them to keep in file. The key is to "re-sale", so we will collect sale tax instead of our suppliers. For instance, if...
  4. L25500 higher than previous head failure rates

    When this printhead issue first came up, certain wrap shop argued for HP's strategy that their prinhead is cheap and easy to change by user, and we are supposed to figure in that cost as consumables. I am more interest to know HOW THE HECK the printer decides that certain printhead is dead and...
  5. L25500 higher than previous head failure rates

    I was questioning how the printer determined that the printhead is bed, while the print is still looking fine? And the printer will not print UNTIL you change that printhead! Will HP tech please shed some light? Is the printer so smart or is it just a profit making scheme? Our experience...
  6. Clear Vinyl printed Without White

    Depend on the application. If it is going to apply on non-white surface, including glass, it will diminish the print colors.
  7. Hello From California

    Quote: "We sell to everyone but we offer great discounts with bulk purchases" Please clarify your "bulk purchase" criteria. Are you offer whole-sale prices to general public?

  13. Bidding job for mega church

    On second thought, may be the church does'nt want to pay the Architect for the sign program! They have to pay someone to come up with the sign program so sign shops can bid. If you are not qualified, find someone that is.
  14. Bidding job for mega church

    I am more surprised that the building plan does not spell out some sign program, at the minimum, ADA required signs before approval by the authority to build. May be they report to "Higher Authority"? Oh yeh, we see a lot of pastors driving Mercedes or BMWs.

  18. Buy local?

    This is a tough one: Do you want your politician spend money wisely or buy everything local, regardless of cost? Why just limit to signs? Milk, clothing, gas, cars, TVs...... Do you sell to local customers ONLY? I don't. I'd be broke. Protectionism do not work.

    45 years ago, I was assembling CRT monitor for GE in Taiwan as a 17 year-old high school drop-out. It was a pretty good job, clean working environment, earning $2.00 a day. Today, Taiwan has one of the highest GDP per capita. It has transitioned from low wage labor provider to high end only...
