Nesto, My question to you is simple. If you brought a lawsuit against someone and had credible rock solid evidence to prove it, wouldn't you share it with the court? 64 out of 65 suits were thrown out of court for lack of real evidence. Gut feelings don't work and no matter how many times...

How can anyone make a realistic offer without knowing: Age of printer, type of maintenance, seeing photos, seeing test print, and probably lots more.

Here's how I keep my AR as low as possible. 1) I tell people when I quote a job that I don't bill for any job less than $1000. We letter vehicles for a very large construction company. They don't squabble over prices but would typically take 60-90 days to pay. When I told my contact our...

Great card Bill, I like the black & white along with the color.

Here's one I sent to a certain group of friends

If you want my opinion, acrylic latex is not the paint to use for outdoor signs. After spraying, you'll wait several days for the finish to cure. Research Matthews acrylic urethane. With an accelerator added you can spray at the end of the day and work on the sign the next day. If applied...

Because it's not what it should be

I agree, their products and service are spot on. My pet peeve with them is their charges for shipping. I recently bought a milled metal commemoration plaque to go on a bench. It was 3"x9" and could have been mailed to me in a padded envelope for a few bucks. Instead, I paid almost $20 for...

How many times have you had just enough material for a job and the plotter or printer eats part of it? I think the machines know when we are running very close, they have a "just enough material sensor" which kills the job :)

It takes much more time to do an overall texture on a panel than it does to carve letters. That could be part of the price difference.

Here's one for you. I was doing sign packages for a nationwide insurance franchise. The blue they spec'd was a 3M translucent color. Anytime that color appeared on signage it had to be that 3M vinyl. If you were doing a 4'x20' sign they expected you to wrap the sign with vinyl. I have a...

The thing that gets me is the fact that the client is picking on rounded letters being slightly larger in the first place. They should concentrate on their business and let you do yours. Tell them you'd be glad to change them to the same size as the other letters at no charge but you will charge...

I bought a Safety Speed Cut used in 1984 it's still going strong.

I'm sure I'll make some people unhappy, sorry, but I'll say it anyway. When our president sets an example of constant name calling he sets the bar for others, especially our younger generation. When he is disrespectful and a bully to anyone who doesn't agree with him, people will follow that...

I had a couple wanting boat lettering. They were still squabbling about what the name would be as we sat down to the computer. I chose one of the names, typed in some lettering and said, "your name could look like this" Then I made a copy and changed the font. At that point the woman said to...

The way I would handle this is to explain to the client the issues with working on the trailer. I'd offer a 4x8 or 4x10 sheet of ACP riveted to the sides with the design applied to them. I'd say "these panels will probably last longer than the trailer, when you buy a new one you can put these on...

The tape we use that is better than Gorilla is the silver tape used to put air conditioning ducts together, sticks very aggressively.

We have millions of tests and they are beautiful tests, anyone can have one. And further more, Nobody gets it

This is my 50th year in business. I like to say I was in the sign business in BC (before computers) I still do some, especially the drop shadows on carved signs. When I see vinyl drop shadows on a carved sign I just shake my head.
