  1. Help! I need EXPERT vinyl install coach.

    Oh geez...tell him it's just not going to work out. Why not just solid cut the word Voltage and a V underneath with metallic gray or something, maybe add some bolts of lightening and call it good? Much easier and will cost less for the customer. Tell him the mask cannot be removed...but I have...
  2. Where to start?

    It's a small investment to get started in a business. If you enjoy it and things go well, you can always upgrade. Start by learning the software. It might be difficult until a job comes up that requires you to specifically search for a certain task. That's when the learning really...
  3. Help! I need EXPERT vinyl install coach.

    That doesn't look like fun. I deleted my advice, it wasn't good LOL
  4. SignCraft Pricing Guide...Accurate?

    I use the SignCraft as a guide, especially for those items I don't do often. However, I track time and every bit of material for all my jobs and I have a simple spreadsheet that calculates everything for me. Now I have a good idea of what I HAVE TO CHARGE for certain types of jobs at MY shop...
  5. If somebody has not paid for a sign, do we have the right to go take it back?

    Last month I was so mad I didn't get final payment I almost drove to a race track and removed a bunch of 18x24 aluminum signs and a 4'8' sign. However, why should I waste my time? Plus, I can't reuse the materials so then I'm 100% out the time and materials. So, I started harassing him instead...
  6. 18oz banner printed and sewn hems?

    The last banner this guy had made was years ago. He feels that the sewn hems are better than the welded. What are your thoughts on this? I don't know of any of my welded banners that haven't held up well. He will use it for 5 days per year, for 5 years. Seems to me like this shouldn't be an...
  7. What kind of employee (job title) am I looking for here?

    Years ago, my sister got a degree in business. She didn't care for her job so she decided to open a daycare. She got all her certifications, started out of her home and then bought a building. Since she didn't know the first thing about running a daycare center she hired an older, experienced...
  8. Anyone ever make a portable 4' W x 8' H A-frame/sandwich board?

    Thank you, I should add that if it's windy, you might want to have a couple of cement weights tied to rope underneath by the hinges to hold the sandwich board down. We use those at the craft fairs on each corner of the tent if its windy.
  9. Anyone ever make a portable 4' W x 8' H A-frame/sandwich board?

    I slapped this together with 1x3's last summer for some craft shows my mom and I did. It was light weight yet sturdy enough for the weight of the wood. Hinges worked great. Maybe a chain or strap would be better for you vs. twine LOL

  13. Slowdown????

    I started the year off with some larger jobs but by the time we got artwork approved and everything completed, it was March. I was then so swamped I didn't know which way to turn. Things have been steady since but I'm able to keep up pretty well. I had a little difficulty collecting a couple...

  15. Friday giggles

    Just had 'friend' of mine who "prints t-shirt tranfers" ask me for urgent help with his ink jet printer. He can't get it to print teal, keeps coming out blue. I suggested he match the color up with the closest Pantone color then get the CMYK formulation to enter into his color mixer - start with...
  16. short to medium runs label printer and finisher with laminate

    I just order from Sticker Mule. They come on a roll, haven't had any complaints yet. I think you can order as few as 50.
  17. Need Help URGENT help needed!

    I use OneDrive (cloud) to save all my files once I have closed the job ticket out, also all my forms, spreadsheets, job tickets - everything. I once used an external hard drive and it died and I lost everything, never again. As long as Microsoft doesn't get hacked by the Russians and delete all...
