  1. Question Premium Vinyl vs Flatbed Printing

    First...to equippaint...I don't have any experience directly with cast vs digital so not sure "silly" is the word I'm looking to describe my situation and that's why I'm asking. I don't have flat bed so once I pay wholesaler and get a 4' x 8' sign made/crated & shipped don't think it'll be...
  2. Question Premium Vinyl vs Flatbed Printing

    I don't have a flatbed printer, like most folks, though I can always get something printed whoesale. That said, which will look better longer... 1. something printed on UV flatbed on DiBond/Max Metal etc or 2. vinyl letters using premium/cast vinyl? Mostly black lettering with red/faded red...
  3. How to pricing the rental equipment

    I used to build the cost of the rental equipment (usually a tow behind lift) into the total cost of the project as part of the item cost. The quoted price would include design, materials, fabrication, mobilization, installation and equipment rental. I'd typically list all those items in the body...
  4. Anyone using the Oki E-64S?

    We've got one and had it for about two years. Absolutely fantastic...fast with great colors and color consistency. Just did 22' side of food trailer and went perfect. Has built in tools to adjust for minor head issues of which we've had none. Built in help pdf's and some videos for daily and...
  5. When someone asks..."Is that the best price you can give me?"

    In today's world just because someone dares to ask "is that the best you can do?" shouldn't wind up in the "someone you don't want to do business with" category. Bought a car lately? Gone to Best Buy to buy a new washing machine and they're not on sale today? Just ask...they can give your a...
  6. Sihl 3609 canvas by the yard?

    I would say time to call wholesale printers like Indy Imaging, Signs 365 etc. That's what we've learned to do for 1 offs like this. Double cost plus freight.
  7. Display hardware supplier sells direct???

    No Name 'Em I'm in w/soluck. When you quote don't give a vendor name and only a partial part number. I almost always figure clients are getting competitive quotes. I also figure I'm seldom the low price vendor. So when I quote I try not to mention a specific model name or number that they can...
  8. double sided window graphics... HELP!

    Try Wholesalers Big wholesale printers like Indy Imaging/Georgia Printco/Signs 365 an the like have a material that might fit your needs. They have equipment and material that prints show on both sides and can (I think) easily be installed. If you've got a contact at a wholesale printer give...
  9. Critique my company website please. What to do next?

    How's it show on Google3 Almost as important as anything else is how does it show on Google? When you put in a common sign search term and add a localizer-i.e. Signs Columbus OH where do you show up. Great looking website on page two isn't much good if you want the site to bring you business...
  10. My company website, what do you guys think?

    Show up on page 1? Seems like everybody's a critic which is fine and that's why you put it up there right? Most of the ones I read it would be hard to disagree with. This is how you learn. I Know it's too soon to tell and I didn't read all the comments but didn't see anything about how do you...
  11. Sign company put road sign in front of my shop !

    Put a bounty on 'em Had competitor do that couple of years ago. I'm in office warehouse complex so don't know if they even knew we were here. But they were flooding the area and one in drive leading to my complex. I'd stopped and pulled it out. Came into our shop laughing, waving the sign and...
  12. Holiday buying season is starting...

    Add one more little touch-not easy mind you but might work-for restaurants, landscapers, snow guys, barbers and beauticians (sp?), repair shops, car shops, computer guys that you've done business with---add their logos and phone to the note. Issue could be you forget to add the landscape guy...

    HP special Got a note from my Advantage Sign Supply rep that HP can be had for $315/mo lease plus other throw ins to sweeten the deal. Sure there's bit more to it but HP must really want to get these things out there. SAR has made them the standard printer for new stores and folks that have...
  14. Best Business Cards EVER

    Here you go...most of us print banners right? Was going to Chamber event one day and ran out of cards. Called my printer and was going to be 7-10 days. I didn't want to go without cards and didn't want to print some on heavy paper and look really cheap. We were running a banner at the time so...
  15. What laminator should I look for?

    get a Seal Lot's of good laminators out there...used would be fine if you can get a bit of training and make sure it works. Consider leasing one...got a used Seal Basic-one year old and hardly used-and leased it through Advantage Leasing for about $200.00/month. Would have been about $8000.00...
  16. Sign/Advertising "Packages"

    Typically they'll come in looking for one item. They get that at full boat unless they buy multiples in which case they get the usual tier price. Where you can make some hay is suggesting any number of the additional items they may need but didn't think of. That's where you get creative...
