  1. Question about heat presses

    rhinestones -shudder- ... had a customer I designed a logo for their girly clothing store ask about custom designs in rhinestones for their thongs, tanks and tees they might want to do on occasion. i told them might not be something I could/want to do on huge runs but could be possible with a...
  2. Chrome?

    oh, and expect to go through blades like crazy ... 200 trucks ... probably expect about 5-10 blades to eat it with dullness.
  3. Chrome?

    no such thing. will always be a 2 year vinyl. it's a polyester vinyl, not pvc and is rigid and brittle. will look good for 6 months outside then start developing white spots and burnishing. inform the customer, if they still want it done, make them sign something to the effect that they...
  4. Anyone got a Stripper Pole...

    only problem with that product is the price ... any handy sign man can make the same thing with an inch thick galvy pipe, end cap at the top and bottom and one cap drilled out with a ratchet tip welded into so all you need is a $25 swivel ratchet ... in all ... maybe $50 in parts and 1/2 an hour...
  5. Got to love craigslist ads

    I went to college for it ... now that I'm closing on a house i'm thinking of adding a kiln back to my studio. good stuff. ironic part, during college I owned a screen printing company ... yet took many print making classes but never touched a screen.
  6. Got to love craigslist ads

    I'm looking for a kiln so I can do some ceramics and I constantly run across ads like http://amarillo.craigslist.org/bfs/2973728206.html dude wants $19000 for a $4k uv station, $1k exposure unit, $3k screen press and $200 worth of used crap. ..... sad. Is this stuff normal? i mean ... that...
  7. 50 Signs for $79

    pft. I sold a single coroplast sign for $80 ... he can keep that price ... gives me something ****ty to compare my product to.
  8. Box truck wrap price question

    Lets try to put this back on track ... with a 60" printer you are probably going to have to use about 12 panels to wrap the sides effectively (from top to bottom) ... with cleaning, prep, and any fixes to the truck, it will probably kill about 1/2 an hour to an hour for that, you have your...
  9. Question about heat presses

    Thanks guys for the response. I went over my notes today, looks like most of my requests are on logo jobs and it's about one job every 3 or 4 months that would ask about extras like t-shirts. I can always screen print them, but such a low amount of shirts (usually enough for the customers use...

    this.
  11. Question about heat presses

    Alrighty, so lately I've been getting people asking about short runs on t-shirts. I am a little out of my element for heat presses since I never used one when I still did silk screening so knowing what the differences are between these $1k-2k machines and ones I can pick up on cheap-bay for...
  12. What do you tell the guy that wants "car graphix"

    based on the wonky math thrown around ... about $266k-$300k .... yup. ussually a new house you're looking to spend about $200-$300 now so it's about on par ... before we put in the bid for our house a month ago, i looked at a $200k house and really it all comes down to your neighbors value and...
  13. Why does everything have a catch to it?

    there is a tiny (10x15) cinderblock shop next to ours that has had "for rent" on it for over 5 years. all the windows are boarded up, roof is tore to **** and has holes you can fit your fist into, holes in the cinderblock INSIDE the shop, all the wiring and copper tubing was stripped from the...
  14. Old Cars...

    I wouldn't even mind just something unique.
  15. Custom soccer scarfs

    looks good, didn't see this post until today. someone asked about this a year or so ago ... basically just get it from some of the places online ... they are better set up for it unless you want an embroidered one.
  16. What do you tell the guy that wants "car graphix"

    hmm, so 200 bucks to pinstripe a car ... yeah ... little excessive, doesn't factor if they are set up for a job queue or not ... if they are that could be rush job pricing. also you have to consider that they might actually think they need to cut 12 feet of continuous pin stripe at that width...
  17. how long do you guarantee your wraps????

    You also get service from a prostitute which is what most sign people are expected to be :-P
  18. Why does everything have a catch to it?

    [/COLOR][/B] Greedy a-holes in suits. don't know about property values though ... we are buying a new home ... at $20k less than what it's appraised at. so awesome sauce.
  19. Like Helvetica with a twist

    are the ends of the letters rounded or do they have any serifs or square ends?
  20. New Logo (Ample Electric)

    It must be a sign shop thing ... cause all the logo's I end up doing while freelancing are never retro, but I swear every other company that wants a logo while I'm at work ... wants retro styling.
