  5. What's the worst file you've been given to print?

    Not for nothing. We would not print this at all. It's your reputation at stake. I've turned down plenty of orders because of terrible files. Do you want someone to ask them where they got it printed? I must certainly don't. DON'T PRINT!

  9. Solution to chargeback on credit card

    I feel I should bring another issue to charge backs we have stopped long time ago. DO NOT take cards from a husband using wives card or vise versa. ID everyone to match. If it is not the same person with card, give back and ask for cash.

  13. Are you kidding me?

    Thanks. I guess they will respond harder. I couldn't believe they wanted to have their accountant come in to speak to me. For what? LM( Y )O

  15. Are you kidding me?

    For over a decade, I have done signs for a non profit. Last time I raised my base price for their signs was in 2019. I've seen coroplast in my area go up 40% since 2019 Inks have almost doubled, vinyl has had an increase etc. So I raised my prices based on past & current rates. I was...
  16. How to increase sales in 2022!

    I've been in a print forum for over 25 years. We are printers that help each other out with daily issues. I had posted on the forum that 4Over had a retail company. I mistakenly called that number and they had told me you have to contact our wholesale number. Two months after that post...
