Come on now gang, putting corner protectors on Coroplast is like polishing a turd or putting lipstick on a pig. Some answers are not worth searching for, especially when the guy says he has no money! Checkers

Wow, a lot of great comments here! As the saying goes... "We the unwilling, led by the unqualified, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful." Oh, and welcome to the sign industry. Checkers

Yep, you're overlooking something. The system is quite simple. My offer still stands though. Checkers

I think I know the system. If its what I've worked with, just take off the sides of the frame by removing all the screws and the banners will slide out. If you're in PA, the system probably was sold by a local competitor. And no, it wasn't me. Depending on the materials you use, an aluminum...

Hiya Jon, I agree with the theory, but the airline industry isn't the sign or graphics industry. Try asking Southwest to change their flight schedule to fit your needs and see what happens. Rush fees are not meant to penalize customers. They are, however, meant to keep you profitable...

As long as you keep saying yes, you'll keep getting rush orders. I don't mind helping out a client when they're in a jam, but I'm getting a little to old to be jumping through hoops for every Tom, Dick and Jane calling and saying they need it yesterday. Although I rarely say no to a rush job...

I gotta disagree with Doug on this one. When it comes to translucent material, I do not like seams. So, if I can avoid them I will make the extra effort. I would just outsource the vinyl to someone with a bigger plotter and who stocks the material you want. This way you don't have to buy and...

It looks like a beefed up Copperplate. Checkers

Start-up costs are only limited by your bank account and your imagination. The larger your bank account, the better off you are. When I started my home based business, my equipment and material investment was about $17,000 before I even got my first client. And, I was being as fiscally...

I doubt you can beat Vista's pricing. However, you can try www.presentationfolder.com or Navitor.com Checkers

I've used this "banner" system before and was impressed... http://rdshows.net/ I think they're only local though. There are similar systems available though. Checkers

Best method? Practice :) Best tool? Cast vinyl and whatever other tools work for you. You can go "old school" with a rivet brush, air release tool and heat gun. Or, they have rivet pads, propane or mapp gas torches, the Rolle-pro or any number of other tools that may or may not work for you...

Dog is right, most companies get busted when a former employee rats them out. However, newer software, including many fonts, are uniquely licensed and can be traced to the original licensor and/or pirates. What's making these cases even more interesting lately is the amount of money being...

Here are several things to consider... Conflict of interest - Whether you tell your current employer or not, it's up to you. But, if you do tell your current employer, be prepared to be handed your walking papers. Can you afford to be without income while you establish the business? Cash and...

Hey Pat, I am by no means knocking the merchant members here. However, a few things I've learned over the years, is to use vendors that are "trade only". A "retail" vendor that also does wholesale work is a slave to two masters. And, guess who gets dumped on when the #1 master comes calling...

Franchise Style Scheduling Wall Here's one that I like and used when I managed a "fast" franchise... Your work orders are attached to the wall using clear job ticket holders like these... http://www.staples.com/Staples-Job-Ticket-Holders-9-x-12/product_433441 Your work order should...

Kodak shut down its Encad operations a while ago. Although you can still get parts and supplies for some of their machines, I would rather look for something else. So, what printer are you looking to get? Checkers

Gee, nothing like jumping in with both feet, eh? Don't forget, when something is "free", you get what you pay for. I don't like to shoot people down when they're trying something new, but I gotta agree with Jesper on this one. You're looking to do a whole lot in a very short period of time...

Nice one Chad, it definitely looks first class. Just make sure you secure it well enough so you don't end up with egg on your face while you're chasing it down the fairway. Checkers

I didn't look at the file. but a couple of things come to mind... 1 - they probably just average the costs using a variety of files - some light, some dark, different densities, etc., 2 - costs/prices could have gone up since the piece was published, and 3 - proper profiles can make a huge...
