Thanks for the response! I will likely do that.. I'm not sure about all the business/residence rules in my city, I'll have to read up on that. I live in the middle of a subdivision somewhat out of town, so I don't know if people will want to come to my home office anyway, but I'll keep it as an...

As many of you know, I got into the sign business working at Fedex Kinkos, and I have now decided to do this on my own. I know I have gotten myself into something big... and I have a lot to figure out... Obviously at Kinkos, the customers generally came in and placed their orders, and...

Lettering pricing from Fedex Kinkos I don't know what most places charge, but at Fedex Kinkos, they charged 50% of the letter height/per letter. If the letters were 1 inch tall, they were 50 cents each, if the letters were 2 inches tall, they were $1 each, and so on. Man.. it's been since...

I do realize many of you did post exactly what I was expecting - "welcome from ____" - and I appreciate that... sorry I guess I also have a tendency to focus on the negative.

Thanks I am well aware I need to be prepared for this kind of thing with clients, and I have experienced it obviously when I worked at Kinkos, and can handle it, but why much I experience it in a "WELCOME New Member's" thread? I give up...

I'm not a dumb@$$... Thanks for the nice comments.. and the critical ones... I guess... I guess I should have explained myself better. I've already done a lot of what I needed to do as far as getting set up, pretty much all I need now is a machine and vinyl. I know that's pretty much the most...

I worked at F*edex K*inkos for over a year in their sign dept. I quit shortly after having my son (he is 10 months old now), due to the long/late hours they had me working. I made a lot of money for that company, while getting paid very little. Figured I could just do it myself and do ok...

I'm also needing some input. At my old employer I used a Gerber Edge. I loved it, though it was all I knew. I would buy the same thing for my own business but it is a little costly to me. I am looking into getting a Graphtec 24" CE5000-60 Vinyl Cutter from specialty-graphics.com for $1449.00...
