  1. Printing Posters / "The cheapest sign you have"

    That is what I say. If I'm feeling generous, I tell them they can get a 2x3' b&w paper print from a local print shop for $5 (I think that is what it costs, I can't remember now.) But I'm pretty sure they need to bring a file, I doubt the print shop will include a layout for that price. And...
  2. Printing Posters / "The cheapest sign you have"

    I never know what to tell people when they ask for "paper signs" or something that is disposal / one time use / etc. I always say banners are the most economical thing we offer, but I keep thinking I'm missing something. I have a mimaki w/ ecosol ink. I can get banner material for about $0.17...
  3. Not what I wanted to see last night.

    Listen to what the Colorado State Climatologist say about climate change and wild fires in the midwest on This American Life a few months ago. In the past year we've had historic hurricanes, tornadoes, and wild fires. I am one of the lucky ones in my area who didn't sustain any damage from...

  5. Customer specifying color, and I'm not sure it will work. Paint help

    Call Sherwin Williams, they are very helpful and can answer your questions. I am pretty much only using their paint now, but I haven't had to paint any PVC yet. And yes, you can spray it.
  6. Obtaining a permit....................................

    1. Researching Sign Ordinances for each town / municipality. Even if you know it like the back of your hand, you are entitled to charge for your expertise and knowledge. It takes at least a few minutes to pull up a file, either digitally or manually, go to the appropriate section, and make sure...
  7. Where do you get your digital 24"x18" coroplast signs ?

    YES. I had to stop using them after multiple quality issues came up. I had footprint on the front of a banner. A FOOTPRINT. They didn't seem too concerned. That was at least 6 months ago, perhaps they have gotten a little bit better now.
  8. developing a design contract

    In the same vain, I'm trying to figure out if a consulting fee would work out in some cases. How many times have we spent hours trying to problem-solve and price a project, only to have it squashed before any money changes hand? I don't know what huge companies do... I've had a few jobs that...
  9. Changing my mind about SQUARE

    Good luck, I hope this wasn't a large amount of money, and I hope that it only cost you time. AND I hope you have a better outcome than I did.
  10. Acrylic faces for lit cabinet/box sign?

    Harbor Sales in MD can probably help you. They have 42" tall roll stock polycarb, and will cut to size.
  11. My first credit card charge back! Woo hoo!

    I had a chargeback a few months ago from some d o u ch ebag who ordered something, and then after I sent him layout and revisions he decided he wanted to kill the project. The credit card company gave him his money back, even though I had "no refunds" in writing, and I had proof that he received...
  12. #2

    If someone brought me banners like this, I would tell them there is an un-packaging fee. Also, you should charge at least $20 just to take out the box of grommets for a sign that you didn't make in the first place. Its a liability to work on something that you didn't make. What happens if it...

    I want to order some custom scratch n sniff decals. Anyone know where I can get them? Just to clarify, I would like recommendations for wholesale vendors that you may have used in the past for scratch n sniff decals.
  15. Short Term Window Perf

    I know this question has been asked a million times, please forgive me. I have a client with a short-term need, and I think window perf would be an excellent application. BUT I'm worried that at night it will not look good (its for a burger joint, so nighttime visibility is key), and I'm trying...
  16. Fabric Banners

    This isn't for a church in africa, is it?
  17. Can you make some signes- Some customers are just plain daft.

    YES! I also love the menu board people... "It needs to have a breakfast sandwich with two eggs, one slice of cheese, one meat, and NO SESAME SEEDS ON THE BUN! my buns don't have sesame seeds!" followed up by "What do you mean I have to pay for your time to research specific images?!?"
  18. Truck Install I did over the weekend.

    As a side note... I want one of those old UPS trucks SO BAD.
  19. 26 foot box truck prices/help end a battle

    I had someone ask me to quote a 24' Box truck a few days ago... He said someone quoted him $1500 for a FULL WRAP. He even thought that was way too low, which is why he wanted another price. FYI, I was much higher, and it was for a very partial wrap / cut vinyl combo pack.
