  1. RANT: townfolk requiring sign permits

    TWICE in the past month I've had clients calling me for "Sealed Engineer Drawings" that included wind-load. Both signs are dibond panels screwed & glued directly to the facade of the buildings. We didn't install the first one, but it was going on a brick wall. We are installing the second one...
  2. Wasting time with customers. Need advice.

    Every job I tell clients they get an initial design (or two or three) and then two revisions. After that, they pay a design fee. This is very important with menus. I don't know what people are thinking sometimes, decide on the menu and prices before you come to me. Please!
  3. Shop vehicle.

    Its true that it doesn't fix the problem, but taking the truck out of the equation will force them to find another solution. I don't know about your shop, but if we couldn't make deliveries for a few weeks, we'd be screwed.
  4. Shop vehicle.

    I would just tell them your truck needs work, and you'll be catching a ride with your wife for the next few weeks while its in the shop. End of story.
  5. Just Got My First Printer.. Looking For Pricing Tips

    I try to figure stuff this way too, but not really with banners. I can give someone a slightly better deal per sqft on a 4ft width banner because there is no waste. But I am charging them more than if they only want a 3ft banner because ink costs $$ and so does the extra hem tape & grommets.
  6. Help me pick a calendered wrap vinyl

    I've also had good results with automark
  7. Help Identify this type of Banner material

    Awesome. You are all the best! I think part of it was done with silk screening... The brand & 4 color logo is the same on all banners. But there is different event details on each of them, so I would think there were many "blanks" made with the logo, and the details were heat pressed. Anyway...
  8. Quickbooks forcing upgrades

    They "sunset" their software after 3 years. I may be crazy, but I stopped using it because of this.
  9. Help Identify this type of Banner material

    Can you do it? My client said the white actually looks like its almost reflective, with a silverish hue. Is flatbed-white silvery? If not, does anyone have a lead on who can silkscreen a bunch (24) of 36x60" banners on Sunbrella this week?
  10. New Olive Garden Logo...

    The new one looks like something from an internet logo mill.
  11. Drama continues - Wrinkled banner

    So you are out the deposit, but not the remaining balance? I would argue with the credit card company that the remaining payment by check was the signature needed to accept the product.
  12. Help Identify this type of Banner material

    That is what I was thinking. Is there any ecosolvent printable nylon out there? I actually asked him if he thought it was vinyl, polyester or nylon, and he said heavy duty nylon.
  13. Help Identify this type of Banner material

    I have a client who needs to replace a bunch of banners that were sent to him from the parent company with a major misspelling... I don't have it in hand, but he sent me a picture of the back. Banner background is blue, and the front has mostly white graphics with a small bit that is red...
  14. Fishing Tournament Jersey

    Thank you, I assumed the stuff you post are all cut & sew, but i wasn't sure. Great work.
  15. Drama continues - Wrinkled banner

    Did you swipe the card or enter it manually?
  16. How can I stretch out banner better?

    The thing is, they "returned" the product by disputing the credit card charge. I think it is legal to retrieve it. But yes, either way, file a court case. You will hopefully win at least part of the claim.
  17. How can I stretch out banner better?

    Can you go remove the banner? I'm fairly certain the credit card company can't take your money AND let them keep the product. If they don't let you in, take them to small claims court. You can actually still take them to small claims court for the amount due, and I think you should.
  18. Time for Payroll

    We use Wave . Right now I file everything myself, but I want to pay the extra fee for them to file for me.
  19. Sidewalk Cafe barrier (stanchion?) Supplier

    I'm looking for a referral for wholesale sidewalk barrier stands. & I would like something where I can make the sides/walls in-house. Thanks!
