  1. Wholesale large format printing

    I use Signs365 and I've had very good luck thus far. I find the order process much easier than Zoo which I had been using. Turnaround time is fast also, I can have certain items the next day. Try a few places and see which you like best. Don't listen to everything you read on the internet :)
  2. Beer Bubbles

    I had a job like this a couple weeks ago...make a P look like a tree. Wasn't too fun LOL I seriously wish you good luck with this
  3. Beer Bubbles

    I like the first one except the foam is too high, maybe add some little fizzy bubbles inside the letters as in the racing graphics example?
  4. Disappointing when good customer doesn't pay...

    UPDATE: I just got back from paying him a visit... Him: Hi there Me: Hi (handed him the invoice) Him: Oh ya, I'll get that check right out to you in the mail. Me: No, I'll take payment now. Him: (goes to back room and brings the check out) Thank you Me: Thank you! Me: (drive to bank and cash...
  5. Disappointing when good customer doesn't pay...

    You You are right, this is my own fault, I let him slide one too many times and he's taking advantage of that. I almost got burned last Spring so I have been very strict with payment at time of pick-up, deposits, etc and people have been very good about it...I'm not sure why I let him slide...
  6. Disappointing when good customer doesn't pay...

    Do you actually put a sign outside like that? Or have you? Not sure if I have the guts to do that...
  7. Disappointing when good customer doesn't pay...

    Thanks for all the responses! As much as I reeeeeeally don't want to go to the restaurant, I'm going to go there Friday night at 5:00 with my invoice. I have my CC thing on my phone so I will have it all ready to go. And yup, no more orders from him unless he pays upfront. It's a small...
  8. Disappointing when good customer doesn't pay...

    Just venting...I'm quite disappointed the last couple weeks in a good customer of mine. He's ordered quite a bit from me over the last year. At first, he would pick his orders up and pay CC. Then a couple times he needed "as many shirts as I had done" for the weekend so I would deliver on Friday...
  9. Question What benefits are there to partnering with other small businesses?

    I wouldn't partner but collaborate. I'm careful about it though. Example...there's a gal who does apparel only, screen printing, htv, embroidery. I don't do embroidery. If a random person walks in looking for just embroidery, I will send them directly to her. However, if I have a good customer...
  10. Anyone use Scaleable Press?

    I noticed the turn-around time wasn't too quick unless you choose the option of 3 day printing which is $3 more per item. And you need to choose the quicker shipping, which is more. How was the quality? Maybe I'll have to order a few shirts for my shop to test them out.
  11. Anyone use Scaleable Press?

    Just curious if anyone uses Scaleable Press for DTG shirts? Prices seem pretty cheap. Thanks!
  12. Adding Employees

    Another thing I've done is have someone do my weekly book work and general cleaning, organizing, etc. I do a lot of shirts and having my teenage sons weed the HTV and sort through boxes of shirts is a HUGE time saver. This allows me to do the work that is more difficult to train some random...
  13. Question How long vinyl plotters last...

    Ditto!!! I have the 100, bought it in 2006. Runs great! Every now and then I have to restart as the screen goes blank and doesn't like cutting from rolls. I might cry the day she stops working :( Great machine!!!!
  14. Adding Employees

    I'm sure you've already thought about streamlining your current processes to improve efficiency to avoid hiring someone? I'm the same size as you doing the type of work. I'm pulling my head out of water the last couple weeks from drowning since Spring. There are definitely areas I can improve in...
  15. Struggling with this logo!!!

    I really like Johnny Bests idea, and this should be able to be distinguished as one color also. I'm going to keep working on this as this is sparking some new ideas. I'll try and post once we have something finalized. Thank you everyone!!!
  16. Struggling with this logo!!!

    I agree with you that this needs to be distinguished as one color also. Good point on the river.
  17. Struggling with this logo!!!

    OK, that makes sense, I'll keep trying! Thanks!
  18. Struggling with this logo!!!

    Don't laugh at this attempt, please. It's driving me insane. What the heck does a top of a tree look like? Trying to make a P from a tree trunk and the R part to look like a river. This might be beyond my skills. Is the top of the P too high? Something looks weird...or maybe the whole thing is...
  19. I made a mistake - don't want to do it again - help

    SV Signworks, I'm still new also and I agree this site is excellent. I would also mount to the wall. You could blame it on the codes...regardless of if they are going to approve it, if the code book states it, then you can blame it on the codes. I also make mistakes and it sucks. Thank God for...
  20. Aluminum Pole Signs, need help

    Thanks Uncle Bun! I just received a quote from them and the price is less than I expected. Seems like a nice system, I think I like this option the best so far. You cannot order just the bracket, you must also order the sign board but you can order it plain and letter it yourself. Rjssigns and...
