  1. So... I guess I am getting into screen printing

    I got to admit I like this post. I haven't participated much with signs 101 but I wanted to chirp in my condolences and best wishes. We (my wife and I) have been doing so well with our screenprinting business and to read a post like this is so fun and laughable. Your work is cut out for you...
  2. Here's how I spent my weekend... building vinyl racks.

    You get an "A" on the racks. Thank you for posting that with those pictures!
  3. Quit Hanging Out.....Leave!!!

    Eight years ago I moved 90 miles away to a little town. I always go to my customers and then leave right after doing business. My business suffered for a couple years because of changing phone numbers and address but NOW I am very happy. I got weary of the convenience of location where...

    You can do it.:thumb:
  5. Whats the best way to ask for..

    I just love this discussion. This is one of the keys for repeat business and developing customer loyalty and financial security. Once your customer knows you have the wherewithall to put that image on anything is priceless. I wouldn't be without my Corel X3.

    Hey SignosaurusRex, Mill City. We bought a nice ranch style house here just love it. Lived in Portland for 24 years and primarily make my money like a salesman calling on my customers instead of doing the brick and mortar approach. Hi Weasel, I remember hearing something about the ban...

    Hey All, I really appreciate these welcomes. :thankyou: Maybe most of you are at the level of having employee(s)? I feel most comfortable staying me and my wife as key operators. I could imagine headaches, especially financial ones, possibly. I have had former comrades turn on me by...
  10. Saying HI for first time... HI EVERYONE!

    Hi Suz, Welcome from to this awesome website forum. My bread and butter has been screenprinting tshirts for over 15 years and selling these promotional stuff for about 25 years. I got this Ioline because this embroidery guy couldn't pay me cash for a sizeable screenprinting job. I use the...
  11. Just got the T-Shirt Scam

    You wonder how these people sleep at night being so crooked. They must have no conscience. Never respond to those idiots.
  12. Fallen Soldier Emblem - need help please

    My guess is it is trademarked. I think if you just contacted them, you may get a verbal or written "OK" for doing the one logo for the fallen son's Mom.

    I am a long time self employed screenprinter and promotional products sales rep. We have two Hopkins 4-color, 4-station manual printers, a twelve foot long conveyor dryer, an Ioline 100 plotter, and over 400 screens at last count. My wife and I and son-in-law work the business and love it. Our...
  14. How to strip emulsion?

    I bought 80 old screens for a buck a piece a couple years ago from a retired lawyer that had someone burn images of shields and what not. Some of those screens were never used for printing ... they just had the images burned on them ready for printing. I believe this attorney had "illusions of...

    You get an "A"!
  16. Screen printing problem

    A good conveyor dryer would erase your ink cure problem. White ink you need to flash cure on first pass just enough to the the touch, then your second print on top of that. You have a flash dryer, right? The ink is not cured correctly if it cracks. 350 is too hot. 320 is the cure point for...
  17. Simple store window decals

    I knew somebody like Vinylman would give his two bits worth out of anger over I don't know what. I really appreciate everybody's response over a stupid forum question about pricing. I do have a copy of the Sign Writers Pricing Guide. This is my first day on signs101 and I am just trying to be a...
  18. Simple store window decals

    I was wondering about the installation being included. Thanks for the tip.
  19. Simple store window decals

    I have a customer that wants nine 14 inch by 66 inch windows on their storefront decaled. Simple one color, but possibly two color vinyl. Each window is simple one or two words. I own an Ioline 100 plotter that works great with the Avery vinyl. I do not know what to charge the customer and for...
