  1. I found this one, didn't write it down, and now can't find it again

    2peas squish is really close, but its not it. Like I said, its not something that I could find for free. I'm kicking myself for not writing it down, and I can't even find it in my browser history.
  2. What Is The Best Magnetic?

    we were having problems with magnum, but that was a few years ago. they also went out of their way to contact me about the problems and we haven't had any issues in a LONG TIME. anyway, you should use either cast or wrap vinyl if you're printing the graphics. regular calendared vinyl will...
  3. 3D Lettering

    i call those letters "prismatic". i don't know if this is the correct term, but i had to have heard them called that somewhere!
  4. I found this one, didn't write it down, and now can't find it again

    I know its not a free font, which is why I didn't originally download it. Please help. Thank you!
  5. Trying to justify the time spent with customers...

    I don't do permits. I mean, I'll fill out the paperwork for them, but I'm not going to the town to file them. We are installing some window lettering and changing a face on a 2x8 lightbox today, the total job was about $1100, my customer did all the permit work on it. Of course it took at least...
  6. busted our print head CJV30-130

    Does anyone have a link on how to remove/change the printhead? We are still trying to troubleshoot, but its hard when we can't find instructions on how to even open our machine up to diagnose. thanks in advance.
  7. busted our print head CJV30-130

    do you know if they are hard to install? we are quite technologically savvy, but I also don't want to screw it up.
  8. busted our print head CJV30-130

    DO NOT USE N GLANZ BRAND BANNER MATERIAL!! It bubbled up, which caused the metal clip that holds it in place to bend, which caused a head strike. We knew this material sucked, and we used it anyone. Now we have a huge problem. I'm so upset. Can anyone help me find a better place to get a...
  9. neon mounting posts

    thanks, that is exactly what it is.
  10. neon mounting posts

    My client has an old neon sign that still works... but the acrylic post things that hold the neon tubes in place are all broken off. this appears like an easy fix, its just an acrylic piece with a wire bonded to the acrylic backer plate. but i don't know where to get the post thingys. we aren't...
  11. custom / odd sized take-out bags

    i have a potential customer who has been searching for to-go bags that fit her 12x12 by 2" tall pastry boxes. she needs the footprint to be 12x12 (or slightly larger) and the height can be as small as possible. the bags can be either plastic or paper. i've called a few different places, but...
  12. Need Packing Materials (boxes) for business cards

    4over is now offering packaging materials, and I know for a fact they have business card holders.
  13. About Dee sign…..

    they are the only one's we've found to carry them in aluminum, and honestly, their price isn't bad at all. you are getting the small reseller discount, right?
  14. Making any money working for someone?

    this thread makes me feel much better about how little we make as sign shop owners. at one point we were paying someone more than we pay ourselves, but she made WAY too many mistakes to keep around, and we'll probably never hire anyone at that rate again. $70K is a lot for an average sized...
  15. VEHICLES - Do you produce artwork before or after deposit?

    we scale up the vehicle, and put boxes around the areas we plan to letter / wrap. i explain in the quote if its for one, two, or full color design and that the price is for the specified areas if we add areas or change the type of vinyl, the price will change.
  16. (Manlift) To Buy or Not To Buy

    Except when its one guy with a 25 year old rusted out jalopy bucket van. Do you really think I don't know the difference between a top dollar boom truck & operators, insurance, workmans comp, etc. and a guy who happens to have a semi-working truck who uses it as a 2nd income, and isn't...
  17. (Manlift) To Buy or Not To Buy

    I would buy it if the price is right. I have literally FOUR jobs right now that I could use it for. One job we are using our 17' Little Giant ladder, but it would have been easier, faster, and safer to use a bucket truck to complete. The second job we need to rent a tow behind. Actually, we...
  18. Frustrated with 4Over

    I see you are in Canada, perhaps that is where the cost discrepancy comes from. 1000 standard cards on either 14 or 16 pt stock (depending on coating) cost me about $18 with shipping. If someone wants a premium cardstock, I charge them accordingly. For example, 500 "Silk" cards are $165, and...
  19. Frustrated with 4Over

    we've also had better luck with zoo printing. and we regularly get over $100 for business cards. its not that hard, when they ask how much business cards are, I just say "$105 plus tax, and that includes a basic custom layout on standard 14pt cardstock." take it or leave it, i don't really care.
  20. Static issue??? Help!!!! Pics...

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a free-standing humidifier that I can hook up directly to a water line, the room is approximately 8,000 cubic feet. We had a large unit that held 4 gallons of water (2 in tank, and 2 in the base.) I'd fill the tank 3 times a day, and we still couldn't get...
