  2. another stupid story

    I have a couple big places that are 30 days but they often pay CC if it's smaller. School prints checks on the 5th so if you get them an invoice on the 6th...you're waiting. They have made exceptions for me with very large orders and she cut me a check knowing I'm a small business. Typically...
  3. substrates from customers

    Yes, sometimes I will. Before I agree, I need to see it and make sure the vinyl stick. Most times it's not a big deal. In the case below...I demanded a new substrate :roflmao: (I actually think this is pretty cool looking)
  4. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    I think there's a lot of people are like me and Signorama (I think). It didn't start as "prepping" but the definition of "prepping" is what we've been doing for so long that now we have that label. I don't need to leave my house for a few months if I don't have to but it's not really because I'm...
  5. Overlaminate without a laminator

    What Geneva and DL said...exactly what I was going to say and suggest. The Vevor is a great laminator. I think it's 52" and my material is 54" so I just don't print wider than 48" and trim a little bit off. Been doing this for 2 years with no issues. Hand laminating - never had luck with it.
  6. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    I'm glad you asked! Not in any specific order... Movies: 28 Days Later - scary, fast zombies are frightening Train to Busan - tear jerker - excellent movie Cargo - one of my absolute favorite movies! The Dead - not much talking, never underestimate a slow zombie! Maggie - with Arnold...
  7. New membership - small time printer :-)

    I do apparel for small business. Mostly 18500 and 2000 with 1-2 color inks. I prefer a 24 piece minimum but will do smaller amounts IF they business is a current established customer. I have some school apparel in my shop in which they grab a blank shirt and select a design then I can print...
  8. New membership - small time printer :-)

    I do probably 70% vehicle graphics and signage and 30% apparel. 95% of my customers are small businesses.
  9. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    After some time communities would start popping up. People of the community would first support each other like a commune. Next communities would start trading with other communities as some might have a lot of tradesmen, some may focus on food growing, etc. Bartering and trading would be the...

  12. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    If that happens, I will have zero need to make signs for a living. My value will raise exponentially due to my gardening and homemaking skills. I do barter now with certain things but it's all based on the dollar system. I need dirt for my garden...I make some stickers. Stuff like that. My...

    I have an HP315 so I don't know about the pricing, I'm more curious about the vendor to make sure I stay away from them. They seem shady
  14. Best decision

    You can buy mine! I used it and then I decided it was too much learning so it's sitting in the corner. I mostly letter vehicles and I do shirts but I've gotten away from small custom orders and just order the heat transfers for large orders.

    I do business in Wisconsin, I'm curious who it is lol

  19. Lamination problem

    Waaaay too tight like Geneva said. Less is more
  20. Work Orders

    https://thesignexpert.com/free-sign-shop-forms/ Here are some decent starter forms. IMO, if you don't have some kind of sign estimating program, just create a form in Excel, or create a fillable Adobe PDF or use your sign program to create one. Totally agree with Signarama - skip half the...
