Hey all! So we all know that you can't add quality to a terrible image but clients give us low res images time and time again. For us, when a client doesn't want to alter the image (no sharpening and film grain funness) our only options have been to pick the lesser or evils and either leave...
In every proof we send, we include a clause that details our proofing policies. We've recently had to revise the wording of these policies to state more clearly that we do not accept financial responsibility for mistakes found after approval. Before this however, we would wiggle around with our...
We also use a Mutoh which buckles the material immediately after loading - in our case, there is a fan that kicks on right after locking the pinch rollers which bubbles the vinyl from underneath. What we do to flatten this out is immediately lift the lever to release the rollers, lift the loose...
The only time we do that is if we donated part or all of the signs to the company that is having us produce them - even then it is a discussed decision between us and our client. We always leave a sticker (between 0.5 inch and 1 inch long) on the back of everything we produce, though. It's not...
Probably depends on your position. For me, I'm the low man on the totem pole in a solid 5 person business with no possibility for advancement. The only paths I have are stay and slowly build pay raises, leave and start my own sign shop from what I've learned (terrifying) or build a new career -...
Lucky! I work in a small sign shop and do every part of the job from sales and design, to production and install - only ever been tipped once. Compliments come cheap and easy though! :P
At my shop, there are only two of us who install, myself as hourly and my manager boss-man on salary. In my experience, the best way to loose long-time workers and completely alienate them is to change how they are paid. I can guarantee you (because I have worked many jobs from corporate...
Ok, so sounds more like needing additional equipment or different printers to get solvents to dry quickly - it's funny, people were in an uproar on the other thread because one person described the issues we are having with solvents when they compared them to latex. More than one person insisted...
Hey All!
I was just perusing a solvent vs latex thread and came across a great number of comments on eco-solvents being able to actually dry quickly. I'm curious, what all are you guys using?
We use 20/20 Color, 440 ml for our Roland SolJet Pro III and SolJet Pro IIV, then Valuejet ultra eco...
Not sure about a full range multipurpose like you are looking for, but we have good luck with 3M cast Air-Egress vinyls. There's a multitude of different types and levels of quality, but when it comes to vehicle wraps with tricky contours, these are our go-to vinyls because it's easier to snap...
So I know this question was resolved, but in case any one else comes around and is curious, this website saves me every time I have to figure out what font was used: What Font is | WhatFontis.com
So lot of oddly negative answers on here... I'm just a worker bee in a local sign shop, but it sounds to me that even though the slander is a pain, it's also just apart of life when it comes to competition. We hear it day in day out from clients that get fed up and come to us and I'm sure we...
Hello Everyone!
I am one of the worker bees for a local sign shop and am trying to think of ways to increase my company's revenue. One of the requests that we get and are unable to supply are for hard, reusable stencils. We tried using our engraver once, but it caused too much wear and tear on...
