I have a IColor collecting dust if you want to buy it.
I buy DTF transfers that way I can put them on anything. They are not super cheap but you can put them on gang sheets. I currently use Supacolor and I'm very happy with them. They are easy to apply. Preheat a 3 seconds, apply for 10-12...
That's just a laminator for paper. I actually use it a lot for my apparel stuff and things at home. I also have an Amish farmer who I make these carry along ads for when he has a horse for sale. He puts them in his coat and goes to the auctions...something like that.
This is what I do - or I toss them or give them to the customer. I do not keep small amounts of decals laying around. If they order 12, they will probably get 13 or 14.
I do store my heat transfers in 12"x12" scrapbook envelopes as I reuse them. I put them in plastic crates alphabetically.
Yes, that's super easy to weed. Did they agree to the price yet? I would seriously just cut/weed a section of this and time yourself. My guess is you will be waiting on your cutter to cut vs. the cutter waiting on you to weed and mask.
I'm not - I gave them only one option which was listed above and they declined - and I'm glad they did! I'm guessing the other sign shop is wishing they had declined as well LOL
No updates people - the sign still shows spray paint and no activity.
The last time I did a Ford police car I had to duct tape myself in, drive it to the shop and watch the guy take the entire door apart to get the screw out. Can you call an auto-body shop? Trust me, they will appreciate the call before they have to fix your mistake, if you make one LOL
I would do it in 8'-ish lengths. 26.25 sections. If that cutter is dialed in, you can weed the main part in seconds. Could you post what you are cutting specifically? Like is it a sentence or individual words, numbers? That will make a big difference when you go back to cut apart.
How many...
The other sign companies only quote was to trace around the bricks and custom fit a new signboard. I kinda figured once I gave them a new idea they might run with it. Oh well, not a big deal, I'm not a fan of the cold as it's ME out there not employees LOL
I did the first one and the second was a different business owner. Now this one is the original guy and he has a partner and it was the partner contacting me. She told me the original guy told them they had to get a price from me "to keep it local".
I didn't want to sound like a whiner - but...if they really wanted to "shop local" they would have called me first. They had the other company set up already and since they were out here the next day, they were simply trying to "look good" by calling me. They had no intentions of using me. No...
I did not get the job.
Another sign company is there now - and have been for a while - making templates. 2 guys bundled up standing in the snow for - a while already. It's 33 and windy. Not to be mean but I had to snicker when I drove past both times and think how miserable I would be doing...
Well, I'm in the same boat. A customer came in yesterday with this...guess what post I thought of LOL
I'm going to look on Shutterstock, I really feel like I might be able to find the burst or something really close.
