  1. Throw away laminator

    you should look into the big squeegee. you can use the lawn sign tool for all of those sizes, and honestly, you should be able to mount at least a hundred a day. Its really quick and easy.
  2. Full color printing

    Do you have a heat press?
  3. SIGNS365.com - is destroying my reputation and costing me $$

    ARRRGGGG. I don't know why I trusted them to make a mesh banner for us. I ordered it 9:30am on Tuesday, and just logged in to see why I wasn't emailed shipping info. Guess what? It was "delayed in production so it won't leave until today." F'ing h*ll. I don't actually need it until tomorrow...
  4. Question Shirt Vinyl

    i like Shil's printable material (i can't remember the name though) and I usually use thermoflex for cut work
  5. Client wants to Puchase a (re)design

    I'd charge them at least $50 for a disk or "to convert the files".
  6. Custom Plastic ADA Signs

    ADA-Compliant Signs - aecengraving this is who i've used in the past and I would def recommend them.
  7. Window Perf Recommendations

    Who is your vendor? I don't think anyone I use carries it. nm, i see fellers has it.
  8. Window Perf Recommendations

    We don't do a lot of window perf, and of course the only roll we have in stock is expired. (we printed and laminated it anyway, and of course we can't get the backer off. argh) I did a quick search but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. What do you recommend for LONG TERM...
  9. What do you guys use for self promo?

    we had measuring tapes made, BUT you could make tape measures... just be sure they are accurate!
  10. Need Help Replacing an existing sign, pre-fab letter source needed

    anything dimensional is going to be pricey. can you order from Harbor Sales? You can have the letters cut out of PVC, and then finish as needed. But honestly, if its just temporary, why use dimensional letters in the first place. I'm so confused.
  11. Getting Burnt Out

    We are literally in the same boat. BUT I do a lot more than invoicing in AP. My advice to you is to find an apprentice and take time to teach him/her. We've had a few, and the high school girls have been the biggest asset to our company. We had an employee who started out just as a warm body...
  12. What drill and drill bits are best used to put holes in walls?

    you NEED a rotary hammer. My partner poo-poo'd us getting one, saying we did not need it. When we got a job installing number signs on an apartment complex, I convinced him it was a good investment, would save time and energy, etc. Now he uses it on about 50% of all installs.
  13. SIGNS365.com - is destroying my reputation and costing me $$

    Honestly, I never trust them for anything important. I do most banners in house. If not, I use a merchant member who is an hour away from me and has never let me down. I'd recommend that find someone local to do most of your printing and only send out things that really don't matter to Signs365.
  14. Price check

    $250 Plus install (minimum $150 for install).
  15. Question How many of you have had this happen..........??

    Just an FYI, EVEN IF YOU HAVE A CONTRACT, if someone pays the deposit on a credit card, then changes their mind and decides to do a charge-back, you will be SOL. You can prove that you did work, you can have a paper trail, it doesn't matter, the customer is always right when it comes to credit...
  16. Question How many of you have had this happen..........??

    That sounds TOTALLY SHADY. Are you saying that your crew just sat around, doing absolutely nothing for the time that the truck was scheduled? They were sitting there just waiting for the truck to show up? Did you even plot / print the graphics yet? Everyone in this scenario screwed up. We...
  17. Wrap Install Questions

    ??? What vinyl/lam combo are you using that is this cheap? If I were to use every single inch on a roll of Avery wrap vinyl / laminate, the cost would be about $1.65, and that is unprinted and doesn't account for any drop. Depending on drop, our barely break even point is $5.50-$7 sq ft. We...
  18. Need help removing old vinyl

    yeegads. That looks rough, maybe a power washer? Can you douse it with rapid remover to hopefully soften it up, and then blast it with a power washer? I have no idea, good luck and I hope you are charging by the hour!
  19. Need help finding copyright owner on a design

    This is actually how you can enforce a copyright. Anything I make is copyright FRESH. I get to decide how my intellectual property gets used. If someone ordered a sign from me, they get a sign. If later on they want to use my artwork for something else, well, lets talk about that. I'm happy to...
  20. Need help finding copyright owner on a design

    Did you ever see that TedTalk about copyright? Its up to you to enforce it, if you let everyone and their mamma use your design without demanding they stop... you've lost the copyright and now its public domain.
