I can't remember if its better to use a 45 or a 60 for cutting Oracal reflective, I am pretty sure it's 60 degree at about 120 force, does that sound right?

Okay here is a big mystery that has me stumped. Every sign shop I've ever seen that is closing, is selling off the equipment and supplies and not selling the actual business. A small sign shop of about 900 square feet would be worth $100,000 with a decent customer base. Triple that for one...

How many of your customers want to use a credit card or bank card to pay for their signs? 5 out of 10? 7 out of 10? Or if you don't accept credit cards, how much ask if you accept it?

My shop was open 10 - 2 today, but a guy wanted a rush order at 1pm for a 3 X 8 yellow banner two colors, text with outline and clipart graphic double sided. I used banner tape to reinforce it. I worked until 5:30 then came home, didn't quite finish it, but it's a tough job working by myself...

I posted this in General Software and never got a reply in 36 hours so you can delete that one. What kind of sign estimating software do you use? I've seen prices $249 - >$400. Also some are just a monthly fee of $39. I'd prefer to purchase it and not have a monthly fee, and I don't like the...

I had a customer who wanted an estimated on a Ford Cube truck (Box truck). I gave an estimate and he replied by email and said. "Thanks, That looks good. If we go with a new truck I'll definitely call you." Whats the chances he will call back? and is it possible he is waiting to purchase a new...

I have 1/8" Acrylic and need to know the best way to cut it without breaking it. At first I thought a skill saw, but I believe that will knock chunks out, and also have a jig saw but not sure about that one either. What do you use?

What kind of sign estimating software are you using? I see prices range from $249 up to $360. But also some of them are a monthly cost such as $39 a month. I don't like the ones built in Microsoft Excel, I prefer an actual program as it's not as cheaply made. Any tips on what I should use?

I own a commercial vinyl sign company in Charlottesville Virginia. If anyone is over this way, stop by and check out the place. I've been making signs for 3 years (between this business and my last shop) -Brion
