maybe im missing something big...and I probably am. Why not just laminate it? We laminated reflective at my previous job and didnt see much of a difference when looking at it. Aside from being electricuted everytime you touch the board after coming off of the rollers it worked fine for us. But...

dear god, I think my dad was born in 1970. I've only used a pounce pattern once to paint a wooden sign. My old teacher was like 80 so he had them laying about.

So i saw my first signshop boss downtown the other day and I got to remembering how much i hated working in his shop. Constantly he would ruin my designs and take credit for my work when customers came to proof. And was quite possibly the cheapest human being to have ever lived. The shop would...

America is the land of milk and honey compared to most places. I had an african friend of mine that I played league of legends with that was telling me the similarities between Somalia and hell. no joke.

My way may be too complicated but this is how i do it... Step 1: Open photoshop and duplicate that image Step 2: Select all the white using the magic wand tool Step 3: Go to Select > Invert Step 4: Create a New Layer Step 5: Fill with solid color> Black, Green, Blue, Etc Step 6: Open Flexisign...

+1 Seal is the best you can buy, we got our 65" and it was the best decision we ever made.

Yeah its my son in the avatar. Thats his Evil Laugh! hes just figuring out he has hands and uses them to grab on to everything in a 1ft radius including hair, skin face and other hands. Theres only one other sign company besides us that can handle the size / volume of the job but we kind of took...

So we had a pretty large job to almost 500 banners do and I decided to throw it to one of the merchant members on the site. The color spot and things were going great until we get on the phone with the manager or owner I believe it was and he is explaining to us how he cannot accept our money...

My first experience with a printer is going on my first job and getting a whole 15m of training and being told if I mess anything up I would have to pay for it lol. You have two options you can go with for design. Photoshop or Corel Draw, My dad got me a copy when he sent me off to college in...

dramz... AAAAnyway. Using custom software I built myself starting from last year still in pre alpha testing but works fine aside from a few bugs and design changes.

those wall murals are pretty flippin sweet. Amazing work

I am in need of bulk banner printing in florida. Somewhere that can handle Blockout Pole Banners as well as regular 13oz scrim Need about 245 -30 x 72 13oz Banners & 195- 30 x 72 Blockout pole Banners, double sided. Total 440, could use a good discount with the volume requested.

Everything is crazy expensive here. Last I checked the cost of living was the same as central new york. Main city gas is about $6 a gallon, outer islands about $10-$14 per gallon. Bulk work usually consists of mostly banners / print & cut signage along with interior/graphic designs. I make...

The sign industry is broken up on my little island. Either you have friends or you dont. If you do then you get contracts, if not then sad day for you; with that said the shop's owner is very well connected; like I said, most of our work is corporate- we hardly get in walk-ins or do 'regular...

For printers I would recommend anything from Roland. I know, people swear by whatever machine they use but our roland is a workhorse. We have ran this thing almost nonstop for a year straight and every day I come in it works like a dream. I know when I need a job in a rush I dont have to worry...

I'd say we pull in anywhere from 10-30k per month with spikes of 60 sometimes 100k depending on the amount of contracts we can weasel. But generally speaking its dry for a week or two then a couple 5k, 10k, 2k, 3k contracts come in when people realize they needed stuff and are in a jamb...

Well, I started at my current job just over a year ago. It was a new sign shop with great equipment, great facilities and great pay. But, there was one big problem; I'm the only one working here. From sale to installation, I do it all by myself. We've landed some pretty sizable contracts over...

I got an old intuos 2 from a cartooning company in new york when i was still in college. The thing still went with serial ports, it worked pretty well and made me a decent chunk of change right out of college. I would love to try out one of the monitor tablets they have out now though. For...

So I had an Xacto handle next to a sign and I turned around for a second and it was gone. My shop eats equipment! Turns out it rolled across the table and on to the floor and then again underneath the table between some boxes. My only explanation is gremlins. How do you guys keep track of hand...

Back at my old job we had a sales manager that nobody really liked. A real taskmaster, we could sell $10,000 worth of signs in a week and it wasnt good enough. Nobody stayed on the sales floor for more than 4 months and besides her and the manager nobody stayed at the company for more than 8...
