Guess I should introduce myself.
I'm Bill....
more?
ok, i'm from Kansas and as I write this there is an inch of ice covering my trees, it's 19 degrees outside, it looks like a cat 5 hurricane blew through town from downed trees, powerlines and frozen limbs. Our lights have been out for two days with another 10-30 days projected. The wife and daughter took the last hot shower before the water tank froze, I am now $1000 dollars poorer due to a new and unexpected generator purchase, it's how I am writing this now. I don't have enough juice to run the plotter. BUT!! The wife is happy again that the Christmas tree is lit again. my first post is here in the signs101 forums - LIFE IS GOOD!!!
I'm a silkscreener from waaaay back when, now retired form that.
I've been doing sublimation and embroidery for several years, but also retired from that.
I'm a computer science geek with a plotter, 5 computers a serious compunction for computer graphics and design and now find myself in the cut vinyl biz due to demand from customers to do so.
Over the years I have been selling, more on the backside, digital printed banners. I don't print them myself but job them out to china at prices I couldn't print them myself at. I've turned away hundreds of jobs for vinyl work over the years but decided that i am so close to the industry anyway I might as well take the plunge.
Through the serious time I have spent reading through this forum as well as others I have learned many things that has helped me so far. A big thank you to all whom have helped, albeit without your knowledge that you have done so.
I'm opinionated, a staunch fairness advocate and share outwardly, although at times tend to write way to much - can you tell?
I'll be around for sometime, so you might as well get used to me

ps. the Patchmaster nic is because I used to crank out embroidered patches in the millions (ok not that many but it seems that way)
