  3. Hosting custom emails since google is gone

    I really don't think google stopped doing anything. We use google apps for business (Signed up before 2012 so it's still free) and everything seems to still be working fine on our end.

  7. Screen Printed or Laser Engraved Plaques

    I'm going to put a quote together. Although it won't be as competitive as I would like, at least it will give you something to go on. I'll PM it over in the next few hours, even if it's just for a reference. Thanks!
  8. For the tool folks....

    Best hole making investment we ever made. We don't use it for sign installs of course (as we don't install signs), but if you have precast concrete to drill into, there's no comparing a hammer drill (corded or not) to a rotary hammer. We use this with the bosch SDS bits. Don't forget a...
  9. Screen Printed or Laser Engraved Plaques

    Edit: I realize we would need to print on the bare metal. Although it is possible, we don't stock an ink line that will stick to it. Bringing in the ink and adhesion promoter would eat up everything in the job for both of us. There's got to be a MM that does this kind of stuff regularly though.

  12. New Year, and thoughts are turned to improve my business.

    I agree with Gino. Especially when you are doing local work for businesses that you meet face to face, the name doesn't matter as much as the reputation you build around it. If you are bent on changing your name, one idea might be to phase your name out. Call it "Kottwitz Signs Plus" and have...
  13. Pantone Swatch Books - Which One?!

    Oh the joys of color matching - and explaining why color matching is a little bit of science and art. We almost exclusive use PMS Solid coated with screen colors. Our screen inks are pretty glossy regardless of the substrate. Be careful buying used books. While it's probably ok, if a page was...
  14. Help with Pricing

    Welcome from Omaha! Here's our Retail Coded Catalog It might be a good place to start. Many/most of our customers find that our retail pricing is still lower than they should charge depending on their expenses and market, so just use it as a starting point. (Just to be clear, we don't sell...
  15. How do you guys heat your shops in the winter time?

    I don't have one of these so I don't know, but word on the street says they don't need to be cleaned. The EPA website I linked to stated "The relatively small but intense fire also results in very little air pollution and very little creosote buildup in the chimney."
  16. Am I the crazy one?

    This. I would ask if you can replace it while you're out there on another job, and replace it free of charge. It's not a matter of who's right or wrong here, it's a matter of how important your customers are to you. This one sounds like a steady, loyal customer albeit a small one. Don't tarnish...
  17. How do you guys heat your shops in the winter time?

    Russian Masonry Stove This guy talks a little slow, but I really want to build one of these. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbRi8XROncM The EPA even recommends them. They burn so hot, they give off very few pollutants.
  18. how to screen-print on glass

    Interesting post. We have never tried. I am curious now if our UV inks would stick to glass.
