I have used Gilamar at High Tech Solutions a couple of times. He's based on the East Coast but travels the whole state. 904-380-1151 Saved me thousands versus using HP

So Grizzly, what route did you end up going?

Sounds like your wife's business is doing pretty well. Mid 6 figures with virtually no equipment is pretty darn good - providing she is marking things up enough. As far as plotters go, I personally have only owned one Roland and that was ages ago - 24 to be exact. When I upgraded to a...

I have several large customers that only pay through ACH and others that use a service called Paymode-X. I know for a fact I get a lot of work because I am already "in their systems." Yes, sometimes I have to wait 30-60 days to get paid but I have built up to a point where it is a steady...

B2sign is my go to for large banners. Got a 35' * 18' one going with them right now.

January was up over 70% year versus year for us. And that was after a 33% annual increase last year. Finally learning to say "no" to jobs I used to think were critical to my business but after analyzing the numbers it was a giant illusion. Those jobs ended up costing me way more than it was...

Since you are so new to the business, I HIGHLY recommend picking up a copy and reading Mike Michalowicz's book "Profit First." Implement his strategies as soon as possible and you won't regret it. I did it about 14 moonths ago and really wish I would have 14 years ago. It probably would have...

B2sign.com is what I have used for flags

Does it print the same on different media? I found that the colors shift depending on the media's base color - some whites are more yellow whereas some whites are more blue. The media can greatly affect grays in my experience. Another factor if using it can be the lamination shifting the...

Sadly, you are correct. One of the bluest counties in the state. For years the local congressman in one of the districts was a convicted, impeached former federal judge. He was convicted on corruption charges but it didn't matter to people because he had a "D" after his name so they kept...

I currently have an old fashioned time clock but might just give mytimestation a shot. I only have two employees now but want to be able to expand ad this year I am going to focus on process streamlining and integration as much as possible...I'd like to retire someday and want to start stetting...

Here on the Treasure Coast of Florida, we are pretty good. We had a rash of petty thefts and catalytic converter thieves hitting the are back in 2021 and 2022. They eventually caught the groups doing it and surprise surprise surprise, they were all from Miami-Dade county and many not here...

Absolutely! It's been tough for me to stay true to the Profit First philosophy mainly because my client base is mainly large home builders and they rarely give deposits so cash flow can be challenging. I have had to "borrow" money from my P and OC accounts on occasion but it happened less and...

Myself + One Full Time helper & One Part Time Helper after about March. Sales up over 26% versus last year with 4 weeks to go so should end up over 30%. Paid off a bunch of debt accumulated on CC's during the down 2021/2022 post covid years which was killing me. My fault 100% for keeping 2...

Where are you getting arlon 510 for $140? I see it for $179. Also, I like the black label due to to air egress which I don't think the Arlon 510 is, unless I am mistaken

I have been using the Black Label 3-mil 4 year removable calendered with air egress plus the 5-year gloss UV lamination for several months. I like the way it prints on my HP 315 and the lamination is nice and glossy and does not alter the colors much like the Briteline stuff does. Can't speak...

I hear ya! Hiring nowadays sucks. It is definitely one of those things that internet ruined. Especially for entry to mid level jobs. Nobody pounds the pavement anymore actually looking for a job. They just blast out a resume online and 99% of the time are not looking for what you are hiring.

The widest I have ever been able to achieve is 53.5". Just last week as a matter of fact. I needed the full 54" unfortunately. I swear the sales guy told me you could do edge to edge printing but I guess that only works when the media is under 54" :(

Was contacted by a Jacob at NFDC about sign work at a local AMC Theater that had some stop signs damaged by Hurricane Milton. I went out to do a site survey and met with the theater manager. I can tell that whomever out up the last batch of Stop signs in the parking lot really cheaped out and...

All Good here. I live in Port Saint Lucie and it was pretty scary hearing about all of the tornadoes around here. Lived in South Florida virtually my whole life and it was the craziest I have ever encountered. Some of the tornadoes reminded me of my brief stint living in Texas!
