  2. Suggestions Rush fees

    It seems like customers have become chronically behind and more demanding on delivery time in the past year. We never charged a rush fee and try to accommodate legitimate needs but do agree that it has become annoying and intrusive. As ikarasu said, it throws off everything and tends to make...
  3. Buying A Sign Business

    Are there any big standout points in there that you'd be able to elaborate on?
  4. laminating table

    Semantics here but they should really be called and sold as a mounting table. They really suck at film lamination but are great for mounting SAV to substrates
  5. Estimates & Invoices

    I was under the assumption that labor is exempt in Florida if labor was the only component of the job i.e. you installed a sign provided by another person. Once there are taxable tangible goods involved of any kind, the entire thing is now subject to sales tax. I could be wrong but that is...
  6. Estimates & Invoices

    Each state is different on sales tax laws. Labor as part of a finished product is taxed no matter how you decide to book it and splitting labor on a manufactured item to lower sales tax would be tax evasion even in Florida. I'd make the assumption that an install could go either way and one...
  7. Aluminum Composite vs Aluminum vs Alumalite ??

    to be fair, too many people head straight for the cheap crap, especially with paint. We are debating ACM here which I would consider a cheap substrate and kind of proves this point. You can get paint that lasts but the majority of paint related questions here indicate water based house paint...
  8. Aluminum Composite vs Aluminum vs Alumalite ??

    Isn't ACM what caused the fast spread of that large apartment building fire a few years ago in the UK? AFAIK, the epcot ball is clad with ACM
  9. Better Start Reading That ToS

    I try to implement free or cheap options on the front end and no subscriptions. Once you get going on a system, it's really hard to change and takes a ton of time. Quickbooks taught me that lesson and I get more and more irritated with that whole situation as time goes on. It's hard to switch...
  10. Better Start Reading That ToS

    That's exactly why people don't switch. They generally started with a particular software or system for ease and compatibility and it becomes entrenched in their operation. Then when people are reliant on it, like with illustrator, they change the terms so you either deal with it or are forced...
  11. Buying A Sign Business

    Installation, big signs or big machines if you're a 1 man show. IMO, 500k is a lot of work for 1 person in an average retail sign shop
  12. Better Start Reading That ToS

    It's ludicrous what these companies are doing now and even more so that they get away with it. These guys will beat you with money whether you are right or not. As much as I am for the free market, it'd be nice to see some more antitrust suits unfold to level out the playing field. Things are...
  13. Rasterlink composites - tiles not available?

    This won't be very helpful but I find it easier to tile in the design than in RL. Could you try putting everything on a single layer before exporting or have I missed the issue?
  14. Suggestions Anyone else having issues with defects in Oracal 3651RA?

    we went from 3165RA to 3755 a few years ago for general use. Not 1 issue (except FedEx damage) and their customer service is great. Also switched from 3551 to IJ40 when Oracal prices went crazy then kept getting blotchy prints on 3M and switched that to Substance 275 with 8518 laminate. It...
  15. Need ideas for a business heading

    C'mon Netsol, memes have words too.
  16. Interesting...

    I wonder what would happen to AI if large numbers of people uploaded pictures to various places with totally unrelated tags and file names on them. Junk in junk out.
  17. Discussion Would you fire this employee?

    Yup, wouldn't even ask the question. Attitude is everything
  18. Not sure if I'm using the correct terminology................................................................................

    At least they didn't start grabbing things and offer to help, that's another charge.
  19. Not sure if I'm using the correct terminology................................................................................

    Tell him you ran out of the cheap stuff and used the expensive clear shield but aren't charging him any extra for it.
