  1. Mobile Sign Company Anyone?

    If it's myself ... I would pass. I get the point of doing cut vinyl on demand ... but the cost of gas to go to and from a spot is unrealistic in most cases ... as a backup ... fine ... but you don't need an air conditioning unit on top of your trailer, and you probably need a genny with a...
  2. Mobile Sign Company Anyone?

    I would believe it.
  3. Mobile Sign Company Anyone?

    There is a guy who does the mobile thing here in Amarillo .... If I find him I'm going to put a knife in his tires for every time I have had to remove and replace his crappy foil thin craft chrome (the stuff you apply to books and binders and scrap books) ... Right now he is at 13.
  4. resize graphics to use on wall

    I agree with the others, 100-150 dpi will be a visually chunky image but it won't have the same resize issues as the 300dpi lot. at most I would go 200dpi. As for the art, you can also cheat and ask them if you can get a little artistic with it, and after you resize turn the image to half...
  5. Application tape that comes off in one piece??

    rtape is my best friend, hate the clear garbage. only once in a blue moon does the rtape stuff come off in pieces for me.
  6. No more Paypal for me!!!

    When I was in college I decided to not use paypal as a seller. I tried to ebay some of my art out ... sales went fine and got what I asked for them ... but every other person would put a hold and a complaint in a day after the sale ended. When asked about why they did it ... said it should be...
  7. You *really* want your card to look like that?

    I think it's that toe nail fungus laser removal thingy places around here are advertising it.
  8. This is why gov entities suck!

    I really don't see what the fuss is about, if a person uses a vehicle for business they should have some sort of signage on there to identify the company (legit or not). I make 4 magnetic signs a month for a guy who subcontracts out jobs to people just to let them show up and work. it's good...
  9. Apprenticeship Wanted

    If you want the total package there are 3 areas you're going to need to learn: Design ... if you have a cnc router, CAD and 3d design software (maya, softimage, lightwave, 3d studio max ... heck even google sketchup) should be your first step. Also concentrate on your design skills, learn what...
  10. Sign Shop Management System

    Just depends on what your needs are, an old version of estimate is great, but for job management not that effective ... fantastic for invoicing. I use volutive (dead software company now ... so no support) and that program is great because it can track my inventory (of what I SHOULD have in...
  11. junk fonts

    I was clearing out one of the computers of junk typefaces that are not usable in really any situation ... came across this gem of ugly. http://www.fontyukle.net/en/GE+Fireworks.ttf wondered if anyone had one they found that they would rather be boiled alive before using in their systems.
  12. What's the latest in advertising/signages we can apply on a budget??

    Signs only come in 2 qualities ... cheap ... and durable ... not both. Give the options, inform of proper life time expectancy and go from there.
  13. paypal tax reminder

    In a service heavy business such as this, cash sales are hard to track. If most of your cost is ephemeral and not a solid object (such as man hours and overhead on equipment) most auditors will be extremely hard pressed to find anything out of the ordinary if you have no invoice and no digital...
  14. paypal tax reminder

    it's 200 transactions AND $20,000 to be required to be reported to irs. If I remember correctly from my accountant a few years ago .. he basically ment that with an excess of both (not one or the other) you are taking regular payments as income. Generally over $10k and you should report it...
  15. Using a carport to wrap a vehicle...

    +1 to that. I will install cut lettering outside (heat guns are your friend in that case) but never a wrap. the cold is just counter productive to everything you do.
  16. How do you hang your sintra prints?

    Been a long day, couldn't think of the name, thanks Donny. museums love them, I adore them. Easy to install in exactly the same place and straight if you have multiples, and you can do easy installs and removals especially if the customer needs it swapped out occasionally.
  17. Stumped, need layout suggestions

    I think the layout looks fine, I think the devil will be in the details. For something Like this, I would probably stagger mount these plates (where every plate gets a slightly larger but same shaped mounting surface and respectively those will go onto the final substrate.) Without seeing the...
  18. How do you hang your sintra prints?

    The way I mount them is the same I mount any of my masonite paintings in galleries or any sort of flat pieces. Follow the illustration as needed. you have 2 pieces attached to the cintra (that will also help lift it off the surface) ... the top piece has an angled cut that will correspond to...
  19. Why is there an angel...

    That is probably the best joke I heard in a few years about christmas. :clapping:
  20. A crazy 1st for me...PR*CK

    because sometimes it's amusing and you need a break from the mundanities of work.
