Lucky us, We have now replaced 3 backlit flex faces and have not had to replace a single clip yet. That being said, I know it is only a matter of time before not knowing the price range from manufacturers/distributors for these little guys is going to bite me in the butt. Especially since we...

I have been approached recently from a friend asking to invest in my company. The idea is to purchase bucket trucks cranes ext. I’m having a hard time letting a piece of my company go for equipment I can eventually get with time. Does anyone here have investors or silent partners? Any...

I have layered decals and smaller jobs but this is a pain in my butt. How the heck does people layer large signs perfectly. Using translucent 8500. I can’t find a video of anyone layering a large sign. Thanks guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My wife and I are wanting to take the next step and purchase a bucket truck. When do you know if your company is ready? This is our 3rd year in business and 2nd year in our store front. I am 100% convinced the best return is Installing for national brands How can you justify a $150k...

We recently purchased feather flags from a wholesaler. The CMYK color on the flag does not look anything like the CMYK color in the artwork. Before submitting artwork they suggested to put a white background in the artwork, so we did that. The right color is supposed to be a light, vibrant blue...

There is a man who claims to be a "Guerrilla Wraps" franchise. He was in the city next to us, got ran out of the city by officials for doing bad business. Now he has relocated his shop in a hidden area of the our city. Having another sign shop isn't the problem. Its having someone local giving...

We have a client, an outstanding client, who wants an 8' tall 25' wide banner to display in the side of their building. Temporary promotional advertisement used about 1x a month, 5 days at a time. It will be anchored to a brick wall. What is necessary for the best quality and max life for the...

A local gas station that is right by our shop called to see if we could install the graphics on their gas pumps. Matt went by this morning to get more details. They hired another company from our neighboring state to come out and install their graphics, the company did half and never came back...

WHOA! Can someone explain the difference to me about the cost of a Wide Format Inkjet Sign and a Vinyl Sign? I have been trying out EstiMate and I think I may have screwed myself on a quote. I originally sent the quote for a 4'x8' double sided sign using the Vinyl and Painted Sign category...

I've probably already spent too much time looking for this font! Anyone seen it before, I thought SF Comic was a done deal, but it didn't turn out that great.

My wife and I have been running shop for a year now. Started in the house and quickly outgrew the garage, dining room and office space. We just moved into a nice size commercial building and finally have the space we need. We are becoming more organized and getting more requests for quotes. But...

Maybe a silly question but I haven't done a 2 side install like this. My plan is to use L brackets and use Cement anchor bolts and bolt the sign to the brick. using probably 6mm Maxmetal or a Whitewood. no pre cut track. Let me know if there is a better way of mounting this sign. Thanks guys.

I am currently operating my sign shop based out of my home. I am working with a Roland Truvis VG-540 and a Royal Sovereign Laminator. In the future I would like to be operating in a store front with multiple employees and larger installation equipment, trucks, etc. Has anyone accomplished the...
