I pay my shop guy USD $15 an hour with no benefits. He's been with me for about 10 years. He only does the large format printing, laminating and mounting, makes banners and keeps the work area tidy. We don't offer installation services at all. Your position sound more like a General Manager so I...

As a print reseller ($500K annual sales), I look at 4 Over pricing from time to time but I've never once ordered from them. Their pricing is not attractive at all. I get much better pricing from DFS, Navitor and Ennis as well as the network of smaller, independent commercial printers I've used...

No joke...I watch CNBC all day and then watch Cramer when I get home. I do a lot of trading and I've found that having CNBC on helps me be very familiar and up-to-the minute with information on companies and market segments that I follow. Some people watch and bet on sports...I watch and bet on...

Wow...that's awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Book 360 Pro 2 at Best Buy. This lappy is ultra light at 2.8 lbs and super fast. I travel a lot and run my business remotely so I just need to be able to connect to my servers at the home office with Google Remote and I'm good to go. I've been very happy with...

I now have four 27" monitors running on a fantastic NVDIA graphics card. Its been great to for me. I also have another separate computer with a 36" screen on my side credenza for the security cams and to watch CNBC all day.

As a print broker, I've tried to use 4Over many times but have found their pricing to be to too high. I get a much better deal from DFS, Navitor and Ennis for commercial printing. For large format, I've been using B2Sign in LA and recently found a great company in India that has very competitive...

I pour my waste ink down the drain.

We use Crashplan for Small Business from Code 42. I couldn't believe it was only $9.99 a month for unlimited storage and the special offer was for LIFE. We've had them for fours years and the price has never gone up. We back up 12 TB and never a problem.

We use only Windows PC's and have every OS from 98 to Win 11. The key is really lots of RAM, 32GB really and a great NVDIA graphics card. My graphics card alone was over $500. These are the only two things that matter. Macs are no better than PC's these days if you have the right stuff in your PC.

I have two QNAP NAS units with a total of 32 TB available of which about 12 TB is used. These units are excellent and very easy to maintain. They're pretty quick serving up the files and I've never had an issue with them. I back them up daily to a cloud storage provider that gives me unlimited...

Over the 20 years that we've been in business, we've had only two bounced checks. We have a sign that says we charged $50 NSF Fee.

Like others here, I've used B2Sign but they have a very limited offering. So, I started using Quinn Flags and have been very happy. I recently sold a bunch of their flag poles to a government client. Selling flags is easy money.

When we had graphic designers, we paid them between $20 and $25 an hour. But, I quickly learned how to use Photoshop and Illustrator myself through their extensive videos and tutorials on YouTube. Now my wife and I do all the design work which is fun and easy for the most part.

When they start using smartphones for voting, I'll start voting again. This standing in line thing is too old school for me.

I don't install real estate sign structures. Most of my real estate agents have their own in-house installer who works for the company. I just supply the sign faces and send them on their way.

Once it was legal to do so, we quietly added 2.5% to all our prices to cover credit card fees since the vast majority of our customers pay by credit cards. As a business owner, I use my AAdvantage credit card for almost every business purchase. The other day, I used my AA card for a $29K...

In the 20 years that I've owned my commercial print and sign shop, I've never once bought a font. If you look hard enough, you can almost always find the font you need at no cost. There are dozens of free font sites. Additionally, there are ways using proper Google search terms to uncover...

I was like you when I first got our 54" cold laminator. But, practice makes perfect and I can do it with my eyes closed now.

I looked at OnPrintShop but it was very spendy. I went with a site from Print Science that is Wordpress and Woo Commerce based. Its way less expensive and totally customizable. It's perfect for commercial printing, large format, apparel and promo products. As a plus, Print Science is based in...
