I ended up charging $89 as it's a rush for tomorrow. No one blinked. Thanks for the input.

Ahhh, gotcha.

Yeah, this is really a tack on to a larger order we're doing in the small press side. I was planing on $75-80 as a minimum as I know they won't blink at that. I'm curious to know what you mean by:

I have a client looking for 2 small decals as follows and I really don't have a clue what the markup is like on reflective work: 2 - 2"x16" Decal Printed full colour on 3M Engineering Grade Reflective Vinyl Laminated with Seal Gloss Laminate Client supplies print-ready file Can I get an idea...

Thank you all for the help on this one.

Thank you all for the really helpful replies. I think I may have found why it was happening in my instance... I either use Adobe Illustrator or InDesign to make my CutContour lines. Normally, I have the stroke position to be on either the inside or outside of the line. In this instance, I went...

Hey folks, I have an issue with a label file I've created print and cut on our HP Latex 315 Print & Cut system. For some reason, the die-cutter keeps trying to cut the square twice which is causing it to be torn up and rough on the edges. I thought it had to do with me using an old file and...

Note to self: refrain from asking pricing questions on signs101.com. With thanks to those who provided helpful information pertaining to the question.

Wow, for both designs, including the setup of a logo that needs to be split across a door and a window and the typing in of the text on the other door, aligning it, sending it all to client for approval, performing revisions and producing final files, you're charging 30 min??? I may have design...

Thanks, Gino. Some of the confusion may be a result of trying to understand my inexperienced actions, other things I may just not have explained well. - I misspoke on design - it was 2 total, not each. There was back and forth edits which added up. - 2 installers were used largely based on my...

As I've said before, I'm quite new to the business and still trying to get a handle on die-cut decal pricing and installs for doors and windows. Realizing that every market is different, wondering if folks wouldn weigh in on an estimate for the following jobs that were done in eastern Canada...

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I got nervous about the low tac feel if the 3621 so ended up using IJ35C after a few folks mentioned regular cheap vinyl. We did laminate as well. We were able to charge well as it was a last minute rush job so our margins were good even with the lam...

That was the first thing I recommended but they seem to want to go direct to vehicle surface. If people really recommend against it, I can try the magnet route again with them.

Hi All, I have a client who wants us to make vehicle decals (approx 8x12) that will be on the doors of shuttle vans for a 2-week event. We're new to the vehicle market and wondering what folks suggest for this kind of use to be ale to effectively remove them at the end of the run. We have some...

Does anyone have any idea what printer Staples would be using to get the flat look? The poster was clearly unlaminated.
