Cost analysis must exist, period.

$98.00 could be low or high depending on the design. You are probably on the right track with the materials cost and add labor method. But iSign is right as well with concerns over complicated weeding times. Generally these issues only arise on small items, so we use a way different margin...

Welcome to a nice forum! :Welcome: Enjoy your stay.

Somebody will be digging for this post down the road to beat out another "worst ever" sign. I'm bookmarking it now:cool:

May I ask a question to learn? If the bottom is there and you need to do the top would you use the same color/outline combination on the text to give it the appearance of being done at the same time? I mean purely for the customers sake? Naturally the design in the center wouldn't apply to my...

The entire pricing issue continues to overlook location / market areas. If company "A" can actively sell the same product for 25% more than your market will bear then they also should experience higher operating costs. Cars don't sell for the same thing across the country, nor does milk. Your...

Spooky finding this post. The last Coroplast order was a mess. Different sizes, out of square. It looked like we got a bunch from the reject pile. We don't print directly so we just got through it. First time we had that ever.

I can't answer your question but I love the font!

Welcome aboard! :signs101:

Not to be a smart a** but a "factory" force setting is like a "factory" seat adjustment in a car. Force setting might be the single biggest user setting there is. Drop the 120g, and if this was tested and the blade was in place when it was delivered (????????), put in a new blade. And how ws...

Beacon I like it and them too. In my experience if they even get a whiff of an issue they immediately offer the benefit of the doubt. Even when we first started we were given help 24/7. Sure price is important but service is far more valuable to us. So when we get good pricing and great help...

Cuts I think Oldpaint hit the nail on the head. Excessive force on the test cut ate the blade. (or the blade was damaged or faulty from the get go) Start over with a fresh blade, set the depth, insure the holder is seated and start at 50g slowly working your way up in 10g increments. I also...

Blades All I can say on the subject is a couple yard job of reflective ate my blade alive. We ran a blade in our Graphtec for 2 years without incident. Please correct me but as I understand they (Graphtec) are the only hardened factory blades? FYI and at your own risk, I was able to touch...

Buy locally Tell them no problem! All you need is the banner "spec sheet" to make sure the material you give them will work with that banner stock. All you need is to talk to the "local" guy who made it to get the info. I would think a public meeting would be the place to inquire for this...

Package deal I like the concept. Never tried it however based on your location I would suggest a sign out front with pictures and a price. If you are out of the way maybe the same design in an ad within the local paper. Maybe even a number of package levels on a hand out? I am a huge...

I've seen mention of sources for aftermarket Roland Blades. Considering what we now know about the longevity of factory ones can anyone steer me where to search for aftermarket models? :banghead:

Selling business options Ginger, As stated we are in the information age. There are so many people cruising around searching for this or that. Use it to your advantage and throw some posts out there. State generic info if only to plant a seed, you never know what may happen and your costs are...

So, let me ask the question. How is the "owner" trackable on some random internet image or unlabelled photo? Beyond company logos is it even possible to chase something down? What if a customer presents a piece of paper with a line drawing claiming it as his own? And just because I have...

Unknown, only a dozen maybe. It's not something we pursue but I was asked and I would try to accommodate the customer. It is not the main order but just an add on. Never thought these would be such a tough find. Could you help me out with a small order? Thanks, Mike
