  1. Banner with D-Ring Instead of Gromet

    This is a requirement around here for street banners. Double stitched hem with webbing, re-enforced corners & D rings. You have to either find a supplier who can do them or have a local industrial sewing shop (some who does boat tops or the like) to do them.
  2. Rant Are you open on Saturday?

    We have retail clients whose weekly orders get completed and delivered Saturdays, so one guys work week is Wed-Sat. And I am here working on layouts, billing etc. So if someone asks if we are open Saturday it's a judgement call.

    You're right Bob, I should have said "Signs aren't supposed to just be pretty..."
  4. I'm just a lowly sales guy... but...

    Signs aren't just supposed to be pretty, they have a job to do, and if they don't do it then the customer might be happy, but they also might not get the return on their investment that they could have. And it's not a new problem, back when the Letterhead movement revived art deco and historic...
  5. Need Help Best software for shadow effect

    One of the things I love about Gerber, it does signpainter shades(and outlines) not print shadows. Sounds like the flexi upgrade has it too.
  6. getting a mounting pattern up on a stucco dryvit surface

    We mount on coro or cardboard and tape in place and then also add some screw where studs will go.
  7. Is customer trying to scam me?

    Weird issue, only on the white not on the ink? Anyhow since they are obviously trying to burn you and they still owe a large sum, I would ask how many were bad and start the negotiation with and offer of 50% credit for the bad ones towards their next order. And then change the policy to payment...

    Don't use that, but isn't it a 4 year material?
  9. Gerber Edge 2 printing issues

    Did you try cleaning the printhead.
  10. Your opinion please

    I'd just price it. It's a little different for someone who does both wholesale & retail.
  11. Applying vinyl to tents

    Or order them with the graphics applied.
  12. Ice cream maker needs printing help

    I agree, you should find a local vendor for a project like this. You will have more control and if you develop a good relationship it will pay off on future projects.
  13. replacing a formed type face

    Yep, another zebra sign.
  14. Suggestions How would you approach this?

    The customer isn't always right. That's a nice looking bench and anything done to it will ruin it. And the point that the first person to sit on it will block the message is correct. And finally I'll it's not just the bench, but the whole area that is non smoking. So that column to the right...
  15. Ice cream maker needs printing help

    I think the label maker suggestions are your best bet. My concern would if they will withstand the moisture/cold. There are some spray clears you could use. Personally I think since you are making these in such small custom batches you should just get some sharpies in different colors and write...
  16. Suggestions Light Pole Banner Mount

    Creative Banner has a good selection, don't think it matters where they are.
  17. employee freelancing...........

    I have done side jobs since I have been in this business, as is common with most skilled trades. The only glitch here is she signed and agreement to not freelance. As long as you trust the employee and have a discussion about it and come to an agreement as AK suggested I don't see a problem.
  18. "Warranty" for truck lettering

    Haven't been asked more than a handful of times in 40 years, for any product. If someone does ask I use the same info as Modern. The few times I've had a problem we fixed it.
