General chit chat here. Do you ever do a job and think you could have done better and get really nervous the customer won't like it only to find out you worry for no reason? This happened last week. I got a call that a guy was NOT happy with his current truck vinyl as there were folds in the...

Hi All The local school had 18 pennant banners made by another company some years ago. They are hanging in the gym and starting to curl. They would like me to fix the problem by applying some kind of backing so they hang nicely. The original company told them to use dowels, one on each side, 1...

Is anyone able to open this in Photoshop and tell me if it's vector or A BITMAP? I'm pretty sure I'm not that stupid but can handle your opinion if I'm wrong. Thank you! I think this link should work from my OneDrive. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiSq7u0QmhfpgZ460eKRwbHfjD6wIQ?e=aRcI2Y

A customer wants to name their bar "Stop on a Dime" and wants clipart of a dime in the background. Now she is asking to have the dime be the main part of the logo but instead of Liberty, have the bar name and then the est. year where the year is. 1. It should be called "Roosevelts" because...

Yesterday I received 2 phone calls from 2 different taverns for new signs. The good thing is both signs are exactly the same. I'm not sure if I have to order the formed sign face or if a flat face will work? I found "Wholesale Sign Superstore" and am working on an estimate for the formed faces...

My good customer/friend (yellow bin) found these great salt bins at Home Depot. We couldn't find anything that stuck to it, as I suspected. My suggestion was to make a plate for it and use bolts to attach. He brought me in some Flex Seal and said just try it, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work...

When I have detailed EPS files and I try to add an outline or even resize, LXI says "not responding" or it takes forever. Is this something with the software or could it be I don't have enough RAM? I don't know much about computers so not sure if that's the right term. I don't seem to have...

I sent out a bid for 6 trucks, 1 trailer and 8 4x8 site signs for a company 30 minutes away with a quick general mock-up. Apparently the owners loved the mock-ups (they had someone design them a new logo and it's much sharper than the old one). She then asked me if they put the decals on...

I was referred by someone to this new business. He just sent me his "logo". I think I am going to need to have a conversation. He was very proud of making this all by himself online...I'm not sure if the calculator is there on purpose or accident? Guten himmel...

Hi I have an order for a 4'x6' "For Sale" sign. They would like it installed with 4x4 posts. I was thinking of using 1/2" MDO with aluminum sign screwed to it and then 2 posts in the ground (as suggested by customer). I would assume I should put them 3-4' in the ground without cement. In WI. Do...

Has anyone else noticed people are getting increasing bold in stating their minds in public? 3 instances in the last month of men "going off" at me in public. This has NEVER happened to me before. 1. At Walmart my sons and I were confronted by a man who yelled at us for screwing around with the...

I have a lighted sign to letter. It's like 18"x6' I don't need a step ladder. A customer is asking me - for the owner of the sign - what my application process is so they can approve it. I'm not sure how to answer that question? Are they concerned I will remove the face or do they not want me...

Just curious how others have created a pricing structure for creating estimates/invoices. There seems to be a couple ways to do it. One is a per print rate with a set cost of the apparel item. The other is a basic rate for tshirts, hoodies, etc then adding an upcharge for more expensive items. I...

I gave the city a "general" quote some time back for some acrylic letters with the understanding they wanted to install. They want to go ahead so I need a more specific quote and now I'm installing - first time. 19 letters, one line - location pic attached. They needed to match some other...

I have a customer who wants me to wrap the bottom half of a camper similar to the one pictured with all the ribs. Clearly this is a 2 person job but I've never done anything with all these ribs. How long will something like this take? Anything I need to consider? With cleaning and cutting around...

I'm getting a TON of requests for miscellaeous Trump/Biden signs - some tasteful, some not LOL. Is it legal to make these signs? Example: Vote Trump to preserve your 2nd amendment rights, stuff like that. I want to be sure because I found out 2 weeks ago, if you make one, you will be making 300...

I have some aluminum "people" I need to apply vinyl to at the local school. I want to be sure I clean it properly. I stopped over and tried to clean one with alcohol and check them out. My rag was black, and it did not come clean after several attempts in the small area I tested. Here is a pic...

A young man just came in. He is a graphic designer, at his work place they have a vinyl plotter. He also works at the fire department. He would like to buy 2 rolls of vinyl from me so he can do all the lettering on the outside of the fire department garage doors. He had planned to use calendared...
