  2. Cutting table/ Work table

    Work tables Have two of these. Cost $280 for materials including the wheels for each. Took about 4 hours each - but thats because I am anal and wanted everything square and level. Just start with a 4'x8' box out of 2" x 4"s and work your way up. Took an electric drill, circular saw...

  9. A con Artist Customer

    And if everyone could afford a flatbed and had space to put one and had an operator to run it... then I guess that would happen. I guess I got into this to make a living and to grow a business past a few years in business so I thought the object was to deliver good products at a fair price...
  10. A con Artist Customer

    So they can afford to buy all those machines to help every small sign shop who can't afford to buy them. I just got this quote from a regional wholesaler: Hi Sean, For 30 coroplast signs, 18x24, 2 sided, 3 colored is $195.00. and shipping to NC is $29.00 Total $224.00 We...
  11. A con Artist Customer

    Coro costs Your costs and profit only add up to $36.50. Are you subtracting for material waste for the 2 sq. feet left over? I try to figure in wastage so it should be $1.25 x 32 = $40 - $16.50 (costs) = $23.50 profit per board... you know... theoretically
  12. A con Artist Customer

    I didn't say I would do it for $1.25 a square foot but there are a ton of wholesale guys who will. A simple Google search for "cheap coroplast yard signs" will yield you quite a few. I am not a wholesaler and don't even play one on TV. I suppose it also depends on how much competition you have...

  15. Black window perf

    Does anyone make window perf that is already black on both sides so you wouldn't have to print anything for a solid black fill? I have 54 38" windows to put perf on and 50 of them are solid black and the other 4 will have a logo spread across them. Just curious... would save alot of print time.

  17. Your Opinion of Seamless Texture Tiles

    For me its around shading/shadowing. Some seamless textures just don't look real when you join them together because any shadowing is stagnant across the image - meaning - if I tile something together that is 8 feet across - the shadowing should be different from one end to the other to make it...
  18. new name - new logo

    How about Bright Idea Graphics - then your monogram can be B.I.G.. So if you do large stuff like us - you can have a dual purpose name of thinking creatively with Bright Idea or advertising that you do big stuff with B.I.G - people would see that and think either Bright Idea Graphics or BIG...
