I missed the vinyl that was being used, and although I agree that OP isn't using the correct material, I disagree that its junk. I love 222, its got many great applications. But extended outdoor use is not one of them. Also, the main reason we use it is because its so easy to install unlaminated...

chalala could work too

I'm surprised that is happening with a cast laminate. What kind of printer do you use? How long do you wait between printing and laminating?

out of office on Sept 3, Sept 9, and part of the week of Sept 16 (but not sure on exact dates yet.)

3/8" acrylic to drill and tap depends on what we're doing, but i like 1/4" most of the time. cast aluminum is sometimes that same or cheaper than cut aluminum, so just ask them for a bunch of quotes too see what works best for you.

we picked mimaki because the print quality was amazing. i think our machine is about 8 years old at this point, and we've never had a problem. i make a joke that even when I try, I can't get it to print poorly.

its thousands $$ for us to apply for a variance in most towns. a variance for a $2K sign can be $10K.

we have a cjv30 with ecosol inks which gets a weekly cleaning. thats it.

pretty much every town near me has something in the sign ordinance restricting murals like this. That being said, I'm sure they got way more than $6K worth of advertising out of it, so maybe that was their idea all along!

Thanks. He read this and came back at me that "he doesn't spend 4 hours prepping for installs" but that is contrary to the "I got here at 6 am to prep for this install" and "i worked until 10 last night prepping for that install" statements. IDK. He also thinks I should both charge for the...

My business partner takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 HOURS to prep for every install. He literally takes every tool he needs and lays them out on the table before loading up the van. He thinks this is normal. And that I'm not charging enough for his time / wants me to add $250 prep charge to...

My partner and I are not seeing eye to eye on the time it takes to prep for installs. Can you please tell me how long it takes for you to prep (in shop) for the following types of install? Vinyl Storefront Window lettering Post and panel sign Banner installed on building Gemini Letters...

I thought it was Demonized, but you'd need to do a lot of editing. If its just these three characters, i'd hand draw it. It looks like it would take 5 minutes to recreate.

would something like this work...

WC depends on pay, so i have no idea if $1200 a year is good.

$50 is our minimum.

FYI, you're wrong. the flags are in the correct orientation https://www.flagandbanner.com/flags/flag_etiquette.asp (scroll down to the bottom)

i upgraded to 2018 when I got a new computer at the beginning of the year. I haven't had any issues.

so another thought for the future. If you ever accept a job like this again, make sure you charge them 2.5x the cost of the graphics. That way, if there is a mistake, you're able to not lose everything if something goes wrong.

ALSO your Uncle's brother really needs to get a grip. He has a fancy old muscle car, and he's crying because he has to spend a tiny bit more money to get the pretty graphic. What a loser. And I hate dealing with car people because they are so f'ing anal about everything. Like, dude, if you...
