  1. New client with a one-off project...wants to do ACH payment.

    I wish everyone would pay be ACH. No credit card fees, no checks lost in the mail, no problems scanning a poorly written check for mobile deposit. The money is usually in the bank the day after the transaction is initiated. Like others have said, we have a separate account for ACH and wired...

  4. Not sure where to look...................................................

    We started using Schwaab a couple of years ago after talking with the rep at the ISA Expo. We have done several large and small projects with them since . The work is good quality at reasonable prices. The couple of times where something was done incorrectly they jumped on it and overnighted...
  5. UV Primer tips and tricks?

    We never use Windex when cleaning or prepping any substrate before printing or applying vinyl to it. We have always used denatured alcohol to wipe it down. Isopropyl is mentioned in a previous post. I'm currios as to what most people use and why you might use isopropyl instead of denatured...
  6. Wrestling Room at High School Signs with multiple names

    We've been using either Switch It magnetic frames, or adhesive backed magnetic sheeting on ACM or Alumalight to creat changeable roster/record boards. We print the base layer on magnetic receptive material and then the changeable names are applied on top. We use this same system for menu...
  7. Suggestions looking for post & panel supplier

    We've used both Ornamental Post & Panel and Howard Industries for many years. We've had good experience with both and would highly recomend using either one. The types of post and panel signs offered are different with each vendor. Which one we go with depends on the look the customer is...
  8. AZ How do I go about getting jobs to bid?

    As Adam said, boots on the ground is the best way to get your business going. We sub out a good chunk of our installations to two different installers. Both initially came to our shop, introduced themselves, and left cards. We've now been using one of them for over 15 years. We keep using him...
  9. Oh, I really went and did it now! In serious need of help or suggestions.

    I feel your pain. No matter how long we have been in the business, no matter how careful we think we are and that we've covered all the angles, we still run into these situations. We had a similar issue with a Gemini plaque happen several years back. The customer wanted it covered until the...
  10. Can anyone tell me how to get pure black and not process HP360

    We have been using Flexi to print to several different printers over the years. We don't have an HP360, but with every printer we have used we have found that setting the color mixer in Flexi to RGB 0,0,0 which translates to a CMYK mix of about 75, 68, 65, 90, gives us the the richest black...
  11. Record collection for Gerber Edge printers?

    We have an Edge LE that has been sitting in our shop for many years. The last time we used it, which was also many years ago, it worked. If you want to add an antique to your collection, or if anyone else wants it you are welcome to it. You would just need to pick it up at our shop here in...
  12. Serious employment question

    Every state is different but if your business is in Georgia and you are a W-2 employee you can file for partial unemployment along with your other employees. I have attached the Q & A info from the GA DOL website. Question 14 is pretty straight forward in answering this. The current situation...
