  1. Do you Print / Laminate / Cut from home?

    We didn't have downstairs, but in our old shop, when we went digital, we had to put all that upstairs. I carried our 54" Mimaki plotter up the stairs myself (without the legs attached) and then I had one other person help me lift the printer off the bed of my truck, and up into the next level...
  2. Energizer = Blah

    Only a specific finger was up...
  3. Customer: "Where do you get your vinyl from?"

    Tell him you have a reverend up the road that keeps ordering large quantity's of banners, but you don't have time to make them all, so he could recoop some costs by doing that. I've had two people call for this info before, I wasn't ever there when they called. The secretary took their number...
  4. Looking for moto-x templetes

    Another vote for Flame.
  5. I'm still kick'n!

    Wow, you are really rackin' up the miles!
  6. Here's a "What would you do?" for you...

    I hadn't ever heard "official" rules, and I had a customer call me back last week and said she had to take a sharpie (UGH) to her 25 signs that we did for her, and add "Paid for by the committee..." to all of them. She didn't have it on her sketch, and she approved my final proof, so I sent...
  7. Here's a "What would you do?" for you...

    I'm hoping that the shirt was wrong...but I'm with what Insignia said...if you don't settle on anything, and you take the blame for it, tell him you can re-print everything through YOUR vendors, and sure as heck don't let him make any changes, and if he does...cha ching him to death for it...
  8. Transfer tape for PhotoTex?

    Pretty sure phototex isn't meant to be contour cut. I have done it A LOT, but we have one solid piece when we do it for that reason. It's not made to stick to transfer tape. You may just have to do something with removable vinyl if it has to come off in the future.
  9. Thinking about a storefront. Any thoughts, suggestions?

    If the area you are planning on going to needs a shop, I say go for it. I did the "storefront" thing, and I wish I hadn't. My own town where I live is already crazy over-saturated with shops for how small the town is, and it's also over saturated with customers that want me to do stuff for...
  10. Customer's Geometry FAIL

    Sounds like this guys needs his butt kicked.
  11. deposits

    I'm with Ken. A lot of mine I don't get stuff up front, but I'd say 50% of my jobs are under $100 each...so it's nothing big. When I do a bigger job, or when I don't trust someone (yes, I judge each and every person that walks in my shop) I will get 50% down to get them back to pick up their...
  12. Recreating art from a photo ???

    Send it to The Vector Doctor, and you will have what you want for a quick time turn around and a great price...and it will be exactly what you need. That is, pending you have a high enough resolution pic.
  13. Communication is key Pt 2

    I'm scared that it was my email!
  14. Communication is the key

    Also, never rely on anyone but yourself. My guess is, next time you will probably meet them over there when they start the job. Whenever I sub out sign installation I meet the sub there early before they start digging, or whatever they are doing, just so that I know we are both on the same...

    Honda Bike or Quad, not a Car...

    Shovel with the win.
  17. how do you guys like semi wraps heres mine

    That was a full wrap? Am I missing something? Was the semi not orange before?
  18. End of Roll

    I only cover the sensor when I HAVE to when I know it's going to be close. I'm sure there are lots of people here who have every sensor on everything they own covered up.
  19. Pin-up girl clipart?

    I found some on iStock a few months ago when I was looking.
