  1. What type of printers are these?

    I thought if they had dried up print heads that I could replace them, but they look like broken units that were to be fixed. Not a fan of HP tho. Right now for everything it's at $230.
  2. New to the business

    It's better to ask us questions. We can't provide a source to go to for teaching.
  3. What type of printers are these?

    Any idea what brand or type of printers these are?
  4. Material selection: Peel and stick decals

    Oracal 3105HT if you don't want it to come off.
  5. How do I create open face (exposed neon) channel letters in CorelDraw?

    Just put a glow on the object. About 5 feather and 75 opacity.
  6. Old vs. new

    Your top one is great. Sell it to her.
  7. First Laminator

    SEAL all the way. Had it for 2 1/2 years and never a problem. I only use cold, no heat assist or heat rollers. Also remember that you get what you pay for. If you are looking for something cheap, it's going to give you cheap quality.
  8. First Post. Vinyl cutter question

    It would be like a media take up system.
  9. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    Wow... you aren't even worth having a discussion with. Angry little sign shop man.
  10. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    You don't know anything about my business or local market either.
  11. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    Actually no they didn't teach me anything and I didn't ask. I simply purchased signs from them, borrowed materials and referred customers to them, the same they did with me.
  12. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    If you don't work with other sign shops, then you are losing out on more jobs and making yourself an enemy to the others. If you aren't willing to give the time of day to someone, they may target you and try to get business away from you. You don't understand logic and I am not being snippy...
  13. April Fools?

    Now I understand better. So you are the installer and not the one who ordered them, got it.
  14. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    I've actually had a company called Sir Speedy poach me. I taught their salesman everything and helped them out many times. Towards the end, he started asking me real trade secret questions, which I stopped helping him. Then all of a sudden they were stealing my customers, they were posting jobs...
  15. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    So it's not possible for them to buy from me at wholesale and resell them? It was my customer to begin with, not theirs. So it still doesn't make sense to me. It was suppose to be "bought signs from them" which you've made many spelling mistakes in your lifetime so don't even start.
  16. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    It was never my intention to outbid or take jobs away from the other sign shops, but it does happen. I didn't study their pricing, labor rates, structure, etc. However I have grown fast and gotten much bigger in the past three years. So I guess I am a real threat now and not back then.
  17. April Fools?

    Holy crap I would have been so pissed. I hope you got new ones for free. Can you tell who the manufacturer is? Because if their quality control is allowing that out the door, I want to make sure I don't use them.
  18. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    I haven't changed my labor rates since I opened my business on August 1st 2010. Pricing? It's increased over the years but didn't decrease at all. I want to be able to use local shops to get things I need and also have someone I trust to refer customers to. But if they won't deal with me, they...
  19. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    I feel like I am reading a part of the dictionary. Really wasn't on topic.
  20. Friends with other sign shops, why the problem

    I don't lose many jobs when someone is undercutting or they see online prices. Because if I tell someone I have a much higher quality product and can get it to them next day, they use me. Most of the shops in town have about a 5 day turn around on banners, online is usually 4 - 10 depending on...
