    ] Really? I am not entitled to know what type of press/digital equipment or whatnot that they are using to print on? What their process is? Seriously? And...not for nothing...if it's shipping from CA I know I am ground 4-5 days UPS...if it is shipping from NJ then a 1-2 turnaround. Why...
  2. Scam Vendor??? Have you received this????

    We deal with vendors for business cards and printing and we just last week got this great sampling of business cards in the mail. When I went to their website to check them out....well, let's say I'm not feeling like this place is legit. This is what I sent to them: Sent: Tuesday...
  3. Reflective Vinyl and LOTS of Washing and Waxing

    Anyone use FDC engineer grade reflective? ...and yes...heard about the Avery issue.....wouldn't be a bit surprised if that is what is currently on his van now. Looks like GAHBAGE!! I didn't do it the first time (he was my customer over 10 years ago....but I took some time out of the biz...

  5. Reflective Vinyl and LOTS of Washing and Waxing

    Hello! I was away from the business for a while and it's been a while since anyone has wanted a lettering job all in reflective. I have a customer who has a van all lettered up in reflective material. He hand washes weekly and waxes his vehicle monthly. This may be an understatement...
  6. Propane heat?

    ...oops...realized you were inquiring on tubing....sorry.... I did consider that too, but was concerned with trying to keep esthetics of barn in tact for first floor space. Also, was told would be pretty expensive. Another point I forgot to make....The closed cell foam is KEY!!! Well...

I am surprised not to find much on here but was wondering if you had any luck figuring out any of it and if so would you share any reliable source of information? I am...
  10. A Signmaker, Silkscreener and Printing Company walk into a location....

    I thank you all for your input. I do think you all have valid points. I have considered the pros and the cons and have asked myself many of the questions you have posed. While we all dabble in different aspects of each of the three trades, I think if the focus is re-directed on our own...
  11. A Signmaker, Silkscreener and Printing Company walk into a location....

    No...not a joke. I recently had a friend who is a printing broker open an office upstairs from my shop. I initially wasn't sure if I was shooting myself in the foot by inviting her in (so to speak) but after 4 months of her being here I have determined it has been a good business decision...

    Storm Everyday of the week I would want an IPhone...BUT will not switch from Verizon because have had other services and Verizon can not be beat for reception almost everywhere I go. That said, I have a Storm (Gen 1) and it has had it's issues, but with software upgrades and occasional pull...
  13. Shop tables

    I just needed to add my two cents as well....the best thing I ever did (and this is my second go round in the biz after having some kiddos) was build two 4 x 8 table. They look very much like the ones posted here but having two is key. And casters too. We roll these suckers all over the shop...

  15. New and From the Witch City...

    I'm here in Salem, MA, and I've found that I couldn't keep away! I spent 10 years in the business and took a little time off to give birth to 3 little ones, an 8 year old boy, a 6 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. Well...that has certainly kept me busy but after visiting my friend in his newly...
