Sorry for all of the non-constructive negativity around here. I think the biggest concern about starting a sign business should be how jadded and negative you may become. Some people here think they have more of a right to use internet forums than others- forgetting that they once had a first...

It didn't look like the outcome would have been any different anyway.

If you pay bananas you get monkeys. There are people who want to work and help grow a business, but you have to pay for them. I left my employer of 12 years this summer (not in the sign business) and started my sign business. I gave them a great work ethic, had annual sales exceeding 1 Million...

Becasue you used posts as plural, I assume there is at least two posts. I would do it in two steps. You don't want to be trying to handle too much overhead weight at once while you're leveling the posts in drying concrerte But mostly I wouldn't try it becasue of the complications that may come...

In regards to that first picture- Was he trying to sell you a droid?

He sounds like a great addition to the shop. Here's my shop mascot. His name is Winston. He is litter trained and doesn't ever complain. Except he thumps at my feet when he wants to me to pet him.

Are you putting the design on a new orange Challenger? Because I want to see one like that myself. I think the retro and modern mix would look sweet.

How else would he know he's getting a good price unless he lifted his head from his desk and asked the question? Personally, I wouldn't buy from a distributor who takes personal offense to me trying to keep my costs down. Geeesh

If it's not your maiin source of income yet, then go for it. But buy the largest machine you can afford. You may want to consider new since you will be requiring assistance a lot at first. You can learn how to use the machine, software as you go- just be prepared to waste a lot of vinyl along...

I had a similar problem. I installed some new software (not sign related) and neither my cutter or printer would comunicate anymore. I had to completely re-format my system and keep that software off my computer. If you have recently installed something that may be the problem. Good Luck

I also have a purpose-bought external hard drive for the same reason, although I haven't had to use it yet thankfully. The only problem is having the discipline to update often enough. I think I'll do mine right now. You can also store your data online for a nominal fee (whatever a...

I noticed it right away, but then again, I'm a guy

Thanks people! I'll pick some up at the drug store today for now and check with a chem supply as well. It's conviently located right beside the beer store anyway and it's going to be 31 degrees here today (92 or so F) -Late August in Canada that's a big deal. Cheers

I was reading a post last night about using Isop. Alc. for cleaning. I read that some rubbing alcohol is the same. I am wondering if there is a more economical way to buy it then from the drug store (or maybe it's cheap there anyway- I'm going tomorrow. Also, should I be aware of any issues with...
