  2. Hello and an apology from se Pa.

    instead of busting this guys b@lls, there are other ways to support this community. there are also premium subscriptions which allow you to access other areas of the forums (and in my opinion more valuable areas than the general areas). and just a shameless plug for myself, if you'd like to...
  3. Using metal shear to cut dibond and maxmetal

    Stan I have seen VERY HIGH END sheers that the cuts look exactly as if they are from the factory (even with composite sheets, where the pvc or other interior substrate) is not squished. However, I would still really recommend routing it, you have the room now that you could wall off a section...

    not to mention the teams of motorcycle riders, go kart racers, wanna-bee 4 wheel racers of every variety who do nothing other than letter their own 'team' vehicle's or maybe their friends for a 6'er...and then there is the roofer, plumber, drywaller, alarm installation co., the list goes on and...
  5. Signs 101 Membership Qualifications

    i am a member of 2 'professional organizations' that are TOTALLY unrelated to this industry in any way. the problem that we encounter is that anyone can call themselves what we call ourselves (if they have earned the skills or not) anyone can buy the 'tools' if they can properly use them or...

    i have applied graphics to small aircraft, helicopters, and 747's i can GUARANTEE you this...the average sign shop could not do to the job. not because some of them do not have the skills they simply could not get the approval to do the job, pay for the insurance, inspections, etc., etc...

  14. What are your pet peeves

    People who know that they need professional business guidance ... but refuse to listen to it because it would mean that they would have to accept that what they have been/are doing is flawed...even though they know it is flawed. People who know your experience, your history and entrust you to...

  18. Software / Equipment Purchase - What seals the deal?

    but if that is the mentality....don't call other's to solve your problems. don't call other's when your equipment isn't working properly and your discount dealer won't reply..etc etc. i've played both sides of this fence from the position as a salesman and as a buyer/end user. in my opinion...
  19. Software / Equipment Purchase - What seals the deal?

    sadly in my experience (25+yrs in the trade) PRICE* *but then after they make their purchase from someone else they call saying they made a bad mistake, can't get service or timely service, that their equipment is sitting there unsetup, their training was piss poor, the list goes on and on...
