Don't get too hung up on a name that has to do specifically with screen printing. Leave yourself some options in case you grow into new processes / markets. JB

It's not a matter of "if", but when. We all get there. I've made it a practice to put myself first by taking charge of my physical health. It's way too easy to let a business force you into "cruise control", and the next thing you know, you've really let yourself go. I try to walk at...

I personally like the appeal of the older typefaces (pre Modified Roman), and I use it in much of our new work. JB

Here's the "third stripe" on my papa uniform. My daughter and her husband blessed us this morning with this little guy. His older brothers were born in 2014 and in 2015. That makes one 27 months old, one 15 months old and a newborn...no kidding. We stocked up on a bunch of pink stuff...

Whatever...then get it notarized before mailing it to yourself. Regardless, the CAD files will contain a "created date". JB

Not spam at all. We also do stone engraving and I've had an eye on a few of your typefaces for a while. JB

Believe it or not....we consider our specific shop layout part of our competitive advantage. It's far from rocket science, mind you, but we've tweaked and tuned things long enough to make huge improvements in throughput without investing significant amounts in capital. At first glance, it...

Mail the drawings to yourself via registered mail and DO NOT open the envelope. That will help verify proof of the origination of your idea. Then if it looks promising, pursue a provisional patent. A provisional patent establishes an early filing date, it "holds" your place in line as you...

I did two of these last summer for bronze plaques and I had our local fab shop make them for me. You may want to add a couple of extra feet though. One foot into the ground isn't much...even with concrete. JB

Not sure how big your decals are, but we do a lot of little ones (approx. 4" x 8"). My hand-cranked tape application machine requires no squeegee, and it's the last post on this thread: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?94123-Application-tape-dispenser/page2&highlight=waterjet...

Looks very handy. Thanks! JB

Being a one-man show, I use duplicate NCR work order sheets (made in MS Excel) and a custom-made "kanban-style" job board. I know Trello and a few others make an digital version of this, but I especially like the old-school visual and tactile way of doing things. Each kanban card resides in...

My favorite tool comes in denominations of 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s and 100s. They work especially when you have a budget that just won't budge. Just apply a few of these and all is well. JB

Typically, it's for anything that won't fit through a "normal" printer such as a mug, a hat, a quilt, a surf board, or a plaque and so on. I'm not affiliated with these folks, but I've seen a lot of their ads in A&E (Awards & Engraving) magazine: http://www.sawgrassink.com/Home.aspx JB

The drum must be replaced, but the bail arm can have fuel line applied. JB

Scientifically, sublimation refers to the ability of a solid to convert directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid, such as dry ice transforming into CO2 gas. In our case, ink is printed to a sheet of paper and placed against a substrate. Heat is applied, and the solids (color...

False start...see next post.

Double check with your vendor. They may be able to offer educator discounts on the latest software. When I taught AutoCAD, we were able to get the software at a considerable discount. JB

Careful here...I would imagine the persona of the player or sports figure is also copyrighted, or otherwise protected in some manner. JB

Your video appears to have been turned into just a photo... JB
