Not familiar with your plotter or what software you're using, but we use SAI's Flexi/Production Manager. The Production Manager is installed on the "main" computer, which is connected via USB to both Graphtec plotters and Mutoh printers. All computers are connected to the in-house network and...

Funny guy... you ever go to the Brothers Truck show out in Anaheim/Yorba Linda (Canyon RV Park)? I was there this past June 28... Looks like it's right around your neck of the woods.

Definitely that. We use the regular small microfiber cloths, they get the job done.

Did this halo-lit, push-thru Chevy sign for my nephew a few weeks back... just for fun and wanted to share it. :toasting:

Who's this owl you speak of?

No idea... for us the vinyl room is aka the clean room. No major dust in there and doors typically stay shut.

Typically, we'll take a second to conversation on what they want on the wrap. I'll inform them about our hourly design rate, then estimate the time it'll take to design what they're inquiring about. Finally, i'll add that to the cost of the wrap itself and go from there. It all varies at the end...

It's more to see what type of monthly expenses your shop invests in and the monthly costs of it overall. I suppose I could have asked to list some of the major monthly costs... oh well.

You can view the question that way, but it was asked more like "What did your sign cost."

Exactly. I knew it was going to vary and that's exactly why I asked, I wanted to see the difference from shop to shop, state to state. And also to see what type of expenses are generally overlooked, since i'm planning to sail on my own sometime in the future...

Just curious about a rough monthly cost to keep the business running. Not including salary of employees, just a rough cost to have your doors open. From electric bill to rent to Adobe Cloud software subscription, etc. Doesnt have to be 100% accurate, just a rough idea to run a shop in your neck...

So far (about 2 weeks) so good, I can only speak for the art computer... the computer running the router is still on Windows XP :omg: I had to contact Duxbury and reinstall the braille software we use, but that didn't take too long to get it up and running. Flexi is also working great.

Enjoying all the different perspectives on this thread :wink:

To each his own

Definitely, i've been following OMGwraps on social media, they're more into the Bay Area, i'm about 2-3 hrs away...

:ROFLMAO: that was def a typo

oh man, i dig every single thing you posted. too cool!

Couldn't have asked for more. about 75% i already knew by experience and research, but that extra 15% is definitely crucial and i appreciate all the input everyone is providing.

I'll look into the contractors license just to see what the requirements are, to stay informed if i deiced to go that route. A hybrid of design and some print/install services is where i was planning on going... Study your competition well is also a thing i had written down, at least within a 30...
