I would send them both home for the week without pay. That is suspension. Note in file about altercation ... inform them that next time anything remotely happens with anyone ... that person is gone. you set precident for unemployment for dismissal with cause and you punish them for being...

brush script. :thumb:

Try to sell them a website or ask them how much they will pay you to do your own SEO for you. Tell them it will be good for their portfolio. Also tell them you will give them a 6 pack of pepsi if they do it. Went round and round with a guy for about 15 minutes one time because he didn't get...

My problem is not deciding on what to drink ... which in the shop is coffee. Tea is a sushi or after work thing. My problem is deciding which of my mugs I throw ... to actually use ... more often than not ... I end up double fisting like this morning.

you nailed it on the head there sardocs. The times, they are a changing. Hopefully for the better. In the last 2 years I've done more painting on vinyl than I had the past 6 years before it ... and that is what the customer wanted even though I could get a cleaner printed version of what I...

Good work! Looks great.

My former shop was pretty low, and even then it wasn't cheap ... I was actually glad to up prices about 40%-100% so we were infact not the cheapest and could actually turn a profit (and did, especially while still keeping the same job load). but since that shop closed down (due to owners...

You guys would be shocked at how some of the more established companies in this town quote for jobs. in the last 3 years I have stared in awe of a gross misunderstanding of how to quote a job when a potential customer shows me a quote from another shop. either that or they are so under the...

This. I also have a saw gator with a metal cutting blade for things like really thick aluminum, alumacore and stuff like that ... less chance of kick back and won't tear your hand up. Link to amazon listing. ... also you could use a jig saw ... but those things leave loppy edges and are made...

The guy was nice, so I told him that if price was the only factor to take the bid and to make sure they don't razor blade the graphics off his van (and to use a tape measure) ... Can't fault the customer for not knowing the guy is probably going to use a 3 year intermediate and probably going to...

just as others have said, just use a similar color and you're fine. Cops in this town have been doing it off and on for a few years ... black on black or it's a cmyk color printed onto white with a subtle gradient to give it depth but not obtrusive. Did a few work trucks with white...

Same place you pull permits. They should be able to tell you what you need to do the jobs.

Customer called me up and wanted to know if I could quote out a job. Turns out the job is rediculously under bid already (Panel van with a 2'x5' logo on each side, 18x24 on the back, 9"x48" phone number on sides ... large on on back, and some side accent graphics on hood and spot colors on the...

Nice!:toasting:

:thankyou: good point, I was guestimating some rough numbers. My actual quote calculation is about twice as long as what I described. Obviously there is room for change in the basics.

I like 3ds max, and the Daz Studio lineup isn't bad (hexagon is fun) Looking for something free, google sketchup is good, rendering is a little rough. Here is a list of some free stuff. http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/25-free-3d-modelling-applications-you-should-not-miss/ and these are all...

I really don't know if there was something I wished I knew when I still had a screen printing company. Only real time me and my partner made bank was when there was a serious art fee involved. So really, it's probably Sub-It-Out. Since he bought me out, I've made more money subbing it to...

-sigh- I really should just copy and paste the formula for what to charge. Find out what your shop overhead per hour is (non-graphics, non-labor costs for a month divided by 30 days divided by 8 hours) lets call this "O" ... make sure to also add in equipment wear and tear into that. take...

Interestingly enough, story ended about a month ago. Shop imploded under owners medical bills ... so no more store. Sad, but what can you do ... just sorry it happened in the span of 2 weeks. :noway: Next week I'm getting my dba so it's fine. It's a few months earlier than I expected (I...

Came across this little gem. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexhperry/the-sign-painter-project-20?ref=category Sadly, with 19 days more to go to get to his goal he won't make it, so I'm sharing to (hopefully) see it succeed. I'm going to see if I can scrounge the $60 (twice) to get a...
