  1. How much would you charge?

    $600-$700 and we would use cast vinyl.
  2. over spray acrylic

    I can't answer your question, but you'll probably get more help if you include what printer you have, what rip you're using, ink etc. Welcome.
  3. Artist wants to cut...

    IDK what y'all are talking about it not being a good surface to paint on. How many people who claimed that are fine artists? My business partner paints exclusively on metal panels, either drop from jobs or for big projects he gets them custom cut to size. He has gallery shows and literally...
  4. Question Digital Print Burnout

    I know I have a few jobs from when we first started where we used the wrong laminate and they discolored within a few years. I had someone bring back a sign last year that we did 5 or 6 years ago. We discounted the replacement.... that being said, i don't sell anything except temporary signs on...

  6. Font ID Help Please

    that G is killing me.
  7. Service Calls

    we fix our equipment, never needed to pay anyone and have done some major replacements/repairs.
  8. Rant Crazy Prices

    Does Harbor Sales deliver to your area? I feel like their pricing is as good as we can get.
  9. Rant Crazy Prices

    I needed something my current supplier didn't have in stock because Avery has been being a PITA lately. Fellers had it, but for about 45% higher than my normal supplier. I spoke with "my" sales rep, and he gave me a better price than I was paying, which equated to about 35% off Fellers list...
  10. Suggestions Logo Critique?

    I don't like how JBM is touching. The J sorta looks like a T, and the negative space between the J & B confuses my mind, i think there might be a letter hidden in there.
  11. Best business credit card for sign/print shop?

    We have an amex, and the positive is that they have a flexible spending limit. I usually charge $6-8K a month, but there have been times where I charged more than twice that. And yeah, I have a credit card with a high limit, but then I get into the habit of not paying it off in full. I like...
  12. Digital Print with RealGold accents

    We would just treat this like a 2 color vinyl job. Are you installing it? We would print/lam/cut the printed lettering, and cut the signgold drop shadow. Install the main lettering, then install the sign gold. If you're not installing it, IDK. Also, I can't remember if you can do SG wet, if you...
  13. w9's

    you can just send them one with only your information filled out, you don't need to include their information. I have a blank w9 saved on my desktop, its practically no effort to email.
  14. Reflective Cutting Vinyl in colors/air egress?

    I think you can also laminate reflective with translucent vinyl. again, I think this is a thing, but I've never done it.
  15. Vehicle Wrap DPI, how to manage customer expectations

    I use Adobe Stock for images, but I doubt you'll get anything much higher res than you already have. 38dpi sounds about right for a large image. Here are my thoughts: 1. Suggest they look at other wraps with LARGE images close-up. I'm not sure where you can direct them, maybe to someone's...
  16. Wrap Hood W/ Clear for Protection

    that is actually good news, since we are lettering the car on Thursday and i'm still researching PPF. :)
  17. Wrap Hood W/ Clear for Protection

    IDK, its a new car, but nothing that special (just a ford fusion), and he said his old car's hood had a lot of damage from road debris. We are lettering the car and adding graphics to the hood, but he wants us to wrap it first. I'm just trying to do what they asked... its a great customer or...
  18. Wrap Hood W/ Clear for Protection

    we are confident wrapping, but we've never done this. Why is it harder?
  19. Wrap Hood W/ Clear for Protection

    I have a client who requested we wrap his hood with clear for protection from road debris. What material should we use? I was thinking we could just use cast overlaminate, but my partner just reminded me that 1. its thin and tears easily and 2. its not air egress. The hood is pretty swoopy, and...
  20. Printing direct to styrene

    my only thought is you need to wait longer between the print / cut. Perhaps a few days for the ink to dry.
