I am already paying for x6..seems a little redundant?

I apparently don't have a real copy of x5..buddy gave me his copy and I started getting the pirated message, so I upgraded...

Can I edit this thread? I must have been tired..lol "their" - Oh how I loathe the improper use :frustrated:And I meant VP...not VS Again, the call for me to do anything over 24" is pretty minimal...and I do have a great outsource (with a monster flatbed) for my large banners, 4x4's and...

Anyone else finding this? I am getting painfully slow process times on random functions. X5 didn't give me any troubles with the same hardware.. Can I downgrade somehow back to x5? D.

Hey all, it's been awhile..but we have been busy. We have grown to the point where it's time to buy a printer/cutter to stop outsourcing everything we need. I think the 30" is enough as the majority of what we do is 24" or less, and for the oversize, I do have a great outsource. We are...

Does anyone here do any dye subbing on poker table speed cloth? I have a client interested in some custom logos on tables...

You guys certainly have the wrong idea of me, admitedly, and I have said it several times, I have approached this incorrectly and have worded some things wrong. I will address some of it... I am off for a bit, gf has awoken again, and it is time to have another baby :) thanks again to all,

If I were to charge what he does, people would continue to go out of town. There wouldn't be money on the table to start with. He isn't over run with work, he just laid off his sign helper. His sign helper stated he is pricing himself out of the work.. Look, I am done with this particular...

He never had a printer. He doesn't do color printing (not large scale anyway.. he may do smaller stuff now)...he outsources his banners/wraps. He uses a 24" cutter for all his vinyl work. He does some multicolor/cuts with that. Is 100 bucks an hour the average rate? Is it normal to charge 3...

I could market that... Turns out there is a disc made by Gateway that is called the "Organic Wizard".

lmao...what is organic disc golf? *gone to google* Ok, no, that isn't me in the tree in what appears to be a large nest?? lol The signs we (my gf and I) did for the course were all tee signs, information, etc..one large sign, very simple. Trace method.. I don't think the guy I am...

Gnemmas, actually one color, simple design by your rate would be 240 bucks...right on par with 3 other shops. Joe, I have no problems with a guy charging his hourly rate doing whatever he is doing...I do the same with my other companies. The hourly rate is what it is. If his rate is 100...

Joe, thank you for the thought out reply. I am the first to admit I don't know what I am doing, and am actively trying to learn and seek out help. I thought that is why I was coming here. As I stated in my opening post, I probably went about this all wrong, and have obviously offended some...

Not three "sets"...just three decals. Not installed either.

As I mentioned, his prices were double that of 3 other shops I got quotes from. These are all professional sign shops. Why so much compared?? This is a relatively small town, word travels quickly. He is pricing himself out of work, people are going out of town to get things done. As I...

I was more than happy paying a professional to make signs at a fair price...unfortunately he retired. But I refuse to be gouged, as do many others here, so they are taking their business out of town. I am going to attempt to learn an artform that will fill the needed gap...as well as put food...

I have gotten three quotes from him for different signs in the past...he has come in over double, on every single one, than 3 out of town sign shops. For example 3 simple (all the same), one color, "name on the door with phone number" type signs... Should I pay 450 dollars for that?? When...

Thanks all for the replies, welcomes, and warnings. This isn't the end of the world for me if it doesn't fly, just something I have wanted to do, and currently have a market for. Industry is dead here, and our economy is low...many don't have the need/funds for the fancy banners and such...

So, after reading many of these threads now, I can say that I probably have approached this a little in the wrong direction, but hey, everything is fixable right? I started out as another couple companies needing sign work done at a reasonable rate...found one local guy whose price was twice...
