We have about 30 gallons of various unopened Nazdar 4200 UV ink for sale. The 4200 is a good ink for general graphic screen printing. We have used it for corrugated plastic, magnetic, HDPE, polystyrene, and coated aluminum. It was our go-to ink for years. We recently switched to a different...

Note: This is in response to the other thread active right now about a wholesaler that also sells retail. Wholesale work does not equal low margin work. To say wholesale only is not a viable business model is absolutely right if you think that selling wholesale just means lowering your margins...

We're in the business of custom products. By we I mean just about everyone reading this forum. Mistakes happen, arguably more so than in other trades. Copy can be wrong, problems with equipment, problems with color, we know all too well. I have to say though, secretly I appreciate all the...

I getting a bad feeling about a recent deal. Anyone worked with him before?

I just finished the The Purple Cow. Now I'm reading Good to Great. Both worth the read. They kind of fall into the same category as well. Purple Cow speaks to having great products with leads to great marketing. Good to Great speaks more to overall being a great company. What business books...

Hello Signs101! We've officially hit one of 4 or 5 of the slowest times of the year for us. We're all caught up with orders and most of the guys took an early Friday. It won't last long. The end of July-September is typically the busiest 75 days of the year for us. In the mean time I have...

So I have posted this a few places and might as well post it here to... Sign Design & Idea Guide We're looking for someone to put together an idea guide for yard signs and banners. The project will consist of creating a 12 or 16 page booklet with approximately 150 different ideas for 1-4...

How many of you get/give paid breaks during the day. I'm not talking about Paid Time Off (We offer that too), but paid smoke breaks, paid lunch breaks, etc. Also, how rigid are your schedules? Do you let the guys simply get their work done and clock in and out accordingly or do you have a set...

This only seems to happen when we try to print very dark (Black) background. Just messing around with a ZUND UVJET 215C. Only printing on coro. We just did an ink conversion and I don't remember this to be as big of a problem with the old inks. We have adjusted the heck out of the head...

I once heard a rumor that there is an anti-static spray that you can use on substrates like coro before they are printed on. Has anyone ever heard of this? Any home remedies that seem to work? Thanks!

We have been pretty slow the last few weeks, which is expected in the yard sign business. The last couple of days though have been picking up. It's been nearly 100% political signs. This is pretty exciting for us, time to make our hay. If we can help you make a buck helping your local...
