  1. No, your sign isn't done yet.

    This has actually been happening a lot to us lately. I need to go into shopvox and change the default message to say CHANGES AFTER APPROVAL WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL CHARGES & YOUR APPROVAL MEANS THE SIGN GOES IMMEDIATELY INTO PRODUCTION! I'm working on a project that was ordered by one...
  2. Income Inequality

    The maintenance guy for the property we rent came in today. He's been working for these MF'ers for for 8 years. The family that owns this property has HUNDREDS of millions of dollars worth of commercial and residential real estate that they inherited from their father's family.... who were...

    You too!
  4. No, your sign isn't done yet.

    What is with taxi drivers? A person took over a company we've been working with for the past 8 or 9 years. The guy comes in at 3:30 on Thursday with a brand new design is SHOCKED when I tell him its going to be $x amount for us to set up the design and then $x amount for every taxi. He owns the...
  5. color changing vinyl for channel letter

    I think you use perf for this application. Print whatever color you like on perforated vinyl, and that is the color you see during the day. At night the light going through the holes will be what is visible.
  6. Is it OK to turn down work?

    I straight up tell people I don't compete on price. sorry charlie, there is just too many variables to be competitive.
  7. Temporary Wall Wrap

    That looks excellent and I agree. I gave my client the prices and he's not interested. IDK, he actually wants to wheat-paste a 350sqft graphic on the wall, so I guess he's not necessarily searching for a clean look.
  8. Temporary Wall Wrap

    They requested a wall wrap, not a banner. But I will give them that as an option, thanks for the idea.
  9. Temporary Wall Wrap

    What would you use to wrap a temporary construction wall made of plywood? The wood is unpainted, but the client is willing to paint if necessary. I'm leaning toward something like GF Concept 201-OAPAE or Avery 2923 Easy Apply. I know the wall needs to be painted to use the 2923, but the...
  10. Need Help Help installing wall graphics

    I installed a phototex mural in my own house, and I had similar problems. The wall was painted plaster and on top it holding a lot of moisture, its pretty warped. AND, I overestimated my ability to install 9ft by 52" panels, vertically mounted, by myself. I think there is a variety of errors...
  11. Need Help with Altered Font

    I can't find the original heavy font, obviously I'll alter it to match this design. Thanks!
  12. Discussion vehicle lettering/graphics on non-commercial vehicle?

    i'm not doubting you, but do you happen to have the statute number for that? I've searched and never found anything saying its illegal.
  13. Discussion vehicle lettering/graphics on non-commercial vehicle?

    i'm in NJ. I had a client recently tell me a cop made them remove a magnet from their car that didn't have commercial plates. But the thing that is weird about NJ is just because a vehicle is owned by a business, does not mean it needs commercial plates. I've done some research and not seen...
  14. Vinyl that can be seen through from one side but not the other

    My suggestion in this scenario is to black out the window and install a surveillance camera. as others have mentioned, there is no vinyl on the market that can change the laws of physics.
  15. The elusive 24" x 30" realty sign frame

    harbor sales has a 24tall x 32" wide in stock. would that work?
  16. What do you do when a surface is too hard to drill through?

    are you using an impact hammer drill?
  17. shop truck insurance question

    In NJ, State Farm has the best commercial auto rates.
  18. Help with masking printed htv

    Are you using solid color HTV? If so, you don't mask it, you cut it in reverse. After its weeded, you flip it onto the garment and heat press. If you're using a print / cut product, you need to use transfer tape that is specifically designed for HTV.
  19. Insurance from Hartford

    I switched to Farmer's Insurance. I need to look at my policy, but I know last year when I had switched my business registration to incorporation, State Farm increased my rates by a factor of 6. They were claiming I'm an "auto repair shop" because I put stickers on cars. I might not have...
  20. Suggestions Reflective sign blanks

    let them order it online. you can't beat that price. Otherwise you can buy the white blanks and cover them with translucent blue (i think). traffic signs online are often cheap but the turn around often stinks. if someone is in a bind, they just need to pay your costs. end of story.
