  1. Where do I get the BEST?

    I'm going to echo a lot of what has already been said here. Its not necessarily the material or the ink or the printer that is going to make the difference, its the time spent dialing it all in for your specific project. Would you be willing to invest a few $K to get it exactly how you want...
  2. Silk Screen Transfers on Rain Defender Sweatshirts

    https://transferexpress.com/heat-applied-transfers/aquatru-screen-printed-transfers These will work, but they are pricey! Minimum order is $650.
  3. Silk Screen Transfers on Rain Defender Sweatshirts

    I actually reached back out to SanMar and they were able to give me more specific details and mentioned Transfer Express has the correct product. I'm about to call them because they don't have it listed on their website.
  4. Silk Screen Transfers on Rain Defender Sweatshirts

    I have a client interested in Carhartt Rain Defender sweatshirts, which are a cotton/poly blend with a water resistant coating. I emailed SanMar, and they said For heat transfer, we recommend using low cure transfer products and the garment temp should not exceed 300 degrees. A special adhesive...
  5. Tenant / Owner Requests

    that is when we learned they did not have permission.
  6. Tenant / Owner Requests

    If a tenant comes to you for a sign, and tells you "I have permission from the owner to install this sign", do you go further and require written permission? If so, is that something you reach out and do, or do you have your client ask their landlord? I'm working on a project where my...
  7. Union sign shops? Strikes?

    is this a stupid question... can an owner of the shop join a union? Like, aren't I the "man" the union is trying keep in line?
  8. A strange "what would you charge"

    i'd probably charge $50-75 hour for how ever long the printing takes. I assume you're doing other stuff while its printing and you're not bumping jobs to get it done. I assume it would take between 3-4 hours to finish, so $200-$300. I don't think i'd charge more than $300. Edit: I'd probably...
  9. New Product Not sure what it was......................... ??

    i saw a box truck last week that was internally illuminated on 3 sides. I assumed they were LED message boards, but now that I think about it, it didn't look that that at all. It looked like it was a box truck that had lightboxes installed for the sides. IDK. if i see it again I'll pay more...
  10. SIGNS365 saved the day

    Many of us have had mediocre experiences with Signs365, but I want to give them a huge shout out this week. I had ordered something from a different vendor whose turn around is normally 3 days, but right now its more like 7 days. I take full responsibility that I should have confirmed this...
  11. What kind of Work Truck do you have?

    Ah. that makes sense. It seems like a lot of extra work to hook up a trailer and tie everything down when we're used to just throwing it in the van and going. our businesses are all so different, its eye-opening when you think about what each of our day to day projects generally look like.
  12. What kind of Work Truck do you have?

    These are all great ideas and I actually now have some time to think about it... My neighbor has a van that needs about $1500 worth of work and is going to sell it to us for $300. So we're just going to take that for the time being. I really don't like making these expensive decisions at the...
  13. What kind of Work Truck do you have?

    this is very interesting. one of the reasons we don't have our own bucket truck is that we'd need two trucks, and we don't want two. The majority of our installs don't need a bucket and wouldn't fit inside a van or truck with a bucket. but this looks like a great solution.
  14. What kind of Work Truck do you have?

    But where do the signs go?
  15. What kind of Work Truck do you have?

    Thanks, I should mention we never install anything that big. One time we had a monument sign that didn't fit in our van, and I borrowed my brother's large pickup. We don't do many extra-large signs, nor do I want to do them.
  16. What kind of Work Truck do you have?

    Our E250 Cargo Van hasn't been working well for a LONG time. Apparently our mechanic just dealt with whatever code popped up, and didn't actually look at what the problem(s) were. I'm kinda annoyed by that, but I'll get over it. We finally took it to a Ford dealership for an estimate, and its...
  17. Need Images of Vehicle Wraps or Decal going Bad!

    i want to note that you can also over-do-it. I had a client whose partial wrap was toast in 2 years. I'd never seen anything like it, and I know we were meticulous on every step because he had something similar happen previously. turns out he washing his truck multiple times a week with...
  18. Material for full window decals installed inside facing out?

    I use clear Glass Apeel, mirror print, and then back it up with white vinyl. Typically General Formulations 201 because its white with clear adhesive. This combo seems to be working well for us. http://www.glassapeel.net/the-product/

    You might want to try to reverse the charges anyway. Call your bank and see if they can help you. All might not be lost.
