  1. Removing sharpie marker on a wrap

    If it was laminated, there should be no problem. Use alcohol. Dave
  2. It happened again.

    Want to give Mike at Insignia another shout. We had a customer bring us the artwork on 5/3. After cleaning everything up and doing the layout, I sent it to Mike on 5/18. Banners arrived at our shop today. Customer just picked them up. These were the mesh type. Three total. 66 x 4 -- 43 x 4...
  3. Bronze dedication plaque. RightNOW!

    We outsourse those. The company has a two week lead time after the client accepts the proof. No exceptions. They will knock a replica out of foam and get it to us in a couple of days with a rush charge if the client absolutely has to have something for an event. They look just like real deal...
  4. Need Installers in Ohio, and Florida

    Mike's too busy printing banners for me to do your wrap. Leave him alone. Dave
  5. Ever have a rough day for no reason?

    We're busier than all get out right now. Almost every year since we've been in business, we had a slow period from Thanksgiving to the first of the year. Not so this time. Election year has helped a bunch. Seemed all the candidates were all on the wagon about buying their signs local. We had...

    Get on Rolands site and check "Location of Dealer near you". Call a couple that are close to your shop. Get pricing for parts If you can't replace them yourself, get pricing for labor. Dave

    You can move to Wheeling and work for me. Then in a couple of years when I'm ready to retire, buy it. Dave
  8. Does anyone close for Memorial Day?

    We'll be closed Saturday, but unforunately we're so busy we have to be working Sunday. That's the big weekend in town for the half marathon/5k race. I set out and pick up all the direction signs so I'm up at 5:30 in the morning driving the course doing my thing. After I get all the signs set...

  11. Fluorescent green vinyl?

    Try Kapco. I think they're in Akron, OH. You could jusst drive over there from PA. Dave
  12. QR codes - please weigh in

    We have one realtor customer that requests the Code on his big [4x8] signs. It sends people straight to a website for that listing. So far, all the listings we've had to use it on were high end properties. When we tested it in the shop, it was only effective from about 20 ft away. The code was...
  13. MM needed for Mesh Banner

    Call Mike @ Insignia Dave
  14. Bubbles and Wrinkles

    Agree with BOB. Also if you use too much liquid and remove the app. tape too soon, it will cause bubbles. But what I'm seeing from your pics, it's operator error during applying. Dave
  15. Spider

    I think the sac is so big because it is full of little spiders. I've stepped on one before and it looked like there was thousands of little one running around. Dave
  16. Proper Wording

    I had listed all of the job duties expected of the employee. Along with "Must have at least two years experience" with the hands on part of the job. Also had in it about the use of power tools. Of the replies we got, only two came close to what the ad stated. This made it a heck of alot easier...
  17. Proper Wording

    What would be the proper wording when placing an ad for an employee that would do everything from basic design to layout to install. I didn't want to use the term "Shop Monkey" for fear of not being ploitically correct, but basically this is it. I tried the Graphic Designer/Shop Worker route...
  18. Got Caught..................

    I don't get this part. If you don't make any mistakes and all goes well with the order, do you reduce the price for the customer? I don't build a mistake factor into my pricing. If we make a mistake, we bite the bullet and might lose some money on that job. Our profit from an order is figured...

    You forgot to Welcome him. Dave

    Hope your Boss isn't a signs101 member. You won't have to worry about liking your job. You won't have one. Dave
