  7. UV flatbed?

    I know some very agressive deals were made at this show. Anotherdog, my unsolicited opinion is to take the time before going to the show, go check out machines that are up and running in people's shops that you are interested in, beg borrow and plead to have them print a few samples for you...
  8. Do not even consider a FASTSIGNS franchise!!!!

    Personally I have mixed feelings about the franchise option. I have known multiple sign makers who made ABSOLUTELY beautiful signs...top of our craft level of work, however, they were unable to earn the level of income that they were deserving of. I've known others who were very capable of...

  15. Is Facebook taking over the world?

    i could be very wrong...i usually am...but in time i think that facebook is going to take over the role of forums such as this. i am already seeing it happening on a microlevel, for example the large group of members from this forum alone who communicate via facebook, i know many others who ask...
