  1. Upcycling ideas

    Totally agree, what stinks in when they don't do this! Label the cores! (Labeling skids/pallets of material would be nice too...but that's not usually as hard to figure out)
  2. NOW HIRING ISSUE

    We have a ton of people on staff that went to school for graphic design or art. Even though sign making isn't maybe what they set out to do, they often turn out to be a great part of the team. They understand the software and the tech. They also tend to be good communicators. From there, a...
  3. NOW HIRING ISSUE

    We post on indeed. It's a lot of work trying to find good people. Interview more people than you think you should. Hire for attitude and culture first, then skill. Skills are learned through experience, attitude and a good mesh with your culture are something they either show up with or don't.
  4. Upcycling ideas

    This is one of the great delemmas in our industry. So much waste. You buy a 40lb roll of vinyl, even if you used 100% you still need to throw away 25lbs of liner. Donating to schools and daycares seems to be the only consistent thing we can do.
  5. Discussion A vendor of mine just suggested I do something like this

    I think there is some confusion going on with this post. The OP wrote: This, as it's worded, doesn't work. You can't just arbitrarily charge whatever you want when the job ships (when it's done). You can, and should, adjust your pricing at the time of the customer placing their order though...
  6. Discussion A vendor of mine just suggested I do something like this

    Yeah, pricing is pretty volatile right now. If that's what the OP meant, then yes, that makes sense. I read it as in "We'll decide what to charge after the job is done." That just won't fly with most customers...
  7. Work burnout

    This is one of the many great hurdles you have to cross (or figure out) as a business owner. These hurdles keep the weak willed at bay and leave more room at the top when you get there. That being said, you have to say no. You just have to learn how to say it. It's powerful once you learn how...
  8. Discussion A vendor of mine just suggested I do something like this

    You can try this, but I feel like you'll have a lot of angry customers. The cost of material at the time of shipment doesn't matter anyhow, it matters how much it was when you bought the material. For example, we're still running coro that we purchased back in February. This has allowed us to...

  11. Canon Colorado 1650 Question

    Not a bad idea. It doesn't really hurt anything when it hits, just annoying and seems like bad design.
  12. Canon Colorado 1650 Question

    Alright, well, just bad design then.
  13. Canon Colorado 1650 Question

    Here's a video:
  14. Canon Colorado 1650 Question

    So the guys over at Einstein Graphics tell me that this is normal, but every time the print head passes from left to right, the stainless steel belt that carries the ink supply and electrical lines taps against the top of the clear cover. It makes a faint thud. It's starting to wear a channel in...
