  1. HP Latex 365 - voltage too high?

    Might try ebay used - these are commonly used by copier equipment companies for leased copiers. I bought one that had the incorrect plug; replaced with NUMA 6.
  2. Any Suggestions on selling a business

    I'm sorry to hear about your struggle with pancreatic cancer; a good friend is fighting that. I recently sold my business (smaller than yours), so if you you want to PM me we can set up a time to talk if you think it might be helpful. .
  3. Change of Business name.

    From someone who recently sold his business. I remember agonizing over the name 10 years ago; gad I did. My criteria were first to have a generic enough name to not lock into a specialty. Secondly, I deliberately stayed away from including 'Signs' in the name but include instead 'Graphics'...
  4. This old Timer is Just New

    I want one.
  5. Sold my business - was a good run.

    Ha! They have to prove themselves worthy.
  6. Sold my business - was a good run.

    Thanks all for the comments. Whatever I do will likely channel my creative side. Basically, my business was my creative outlet and my social life, so need to replace both with something less stressful and perhaps with more purpose :) Regarding the process of exiting; my experience was...
  7. Sold my business - was a good run.

    At the tender age of 66 and after 10 years since start-up, I recently sold my graphics business. Not firm on what's next, but it won't be running a graphics business due to the purchase terms. S101 is the only social media account where I regularly participate, so I'll at least lurk for a...
  8. Removable Cut Vinyl

    We would likely print/cut Avery 2921. Don't need to stock a bunch of colors and it's great for removable graphics on temp store windows which is our main use.
  9. Blended Gross Profit Margins

    True, often misused , but only one meaning as they are fundamental accounting principles: Gross Profit = Revenue minus Cost of goods. Does not include fixed costs. Expressed as $ Net Profit Margin = Revenue minus:(Cost of goods+expenses+interest+taxes), divided by Revenue. Expressed as %...
  10. This job scares me...

    I wouldn't sleep at night, even with that $1000 under my pillow. Particularly in a small town, dishonest people latch onto your reputation to make themselves seem legitimate. Had a neighbor once that I sold promotional products, always paid, but found out later after he moved that he used my...
  11. Oy vey..................................................

    I'll bet Gino has a bunch of oversized GIFs he could recommend.
  12. Oy vey..................................................

    Like the clean layout. In my browser (firefox) much more readable. Agree with those missing the agree/disagree and informative . In fact, could do without 'like' and replace w/ agree/disagree. Not end of world but just a tool to make the site more engaging and a way to get the general feel...
  13. Free Stuff For Y'all

    My poor excuse of a joke - but congrats on keeping this thread alive that long. Some businesses don't last that long.
  14. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Oh shoot - saw the post title and thought this was news on another government program.
  15. Interested in a DTG printer

    Same here - using transfers.
  16. Wall Mural vinyl recommendation

    Seems like a landslide vote for 40c. Use lots of 40c on our 560, 3/4" overlap, reverse your tiles (bottom of panel 2 follows bottom of panel 1) for panel to panel color control. Alcohol clean paint (spray on cloth and wipe).
  17. Interested in a DTG printer

    I had DTG for about 18 mos.; worst business decision I ever made. Purchased an Epson based printer (basically a desktop color converted to run DTG inks) for about 12K USD w/ pre-treat. Constant, finicky maintenance, slow. Even when working, very transaction intensive. Customers need...
  18. Ever feel like giving up before you really got started?

    See - you have a lot of people rooting for you and some tough love too. Just don't let Gino talk you into selling your liver before you talk to me first.
  19. Ever feel like giving up before you really got started?

    Something to think about is your motivations for doing what you do. You mentioned an interest in gadgets and technology. That's like someone with an interest in collecting or making guitars trying to make a living playing music. Some do, but the skill set is completely different. Maybe you...
  20. Suggestions Source for Rustic wood frame kit

    That's an interesting idea, but would need to sell with the caveat that it may last the typical 5-6 years a cast wrap would last. Out in the boonies so customer can easily replace sign panel but re-wrapping installed posts problematic down the road. Haven't had any responses suggesting kits are...
