  1. Equipment Suggestions

    As long as they're still around, I'd buy a JV300. Easy transition, fairly bulletproof and it's not locked up to where you're stuck waiting on the mfg to send out their fix it crew.

    Sure but that's a bit conflated. They don't care if you're happy unless it benefits them, which it does. It's not done out of the goodness of their heart and if it did not lead to an increase in the bottom line, they would not do it. They want you happy within their work environment with...

    It's a fad that will fade away. Cars today don't have old lacquer paint jobs that need constant waxing or coatings to keep them shiny. Clearcoat on modern cars doesnt need all this, that was part of the beauty of the 2 stage process when manufacturers first moved to it. For what PPF film...
  4. S2 Kiss Cut and Die Cut in one pass

    I never noticed a difference using different blade angles in regular day to day cutting. Maybe it's more pronounced on really thick material like sandblast mask or motox vinyl/laminate?

    are you trying to convince me to hire you?

    nope but texassignmaker is. He's like a miniture unicorn but same idea

    I hope you realize that they do this for the benefit of the company, not the employee. The clue to that is in your own statement - increase productivity. How do you manipulate a person to get what you need from them is the root of life in business. Manipulation may be a bad word but its the...

    I understand how things wear out, you don't need to explain it. Stress and burnout is a relative term, you seem to have a low threshold which gives you a myopic view of this whole idea that we are discussing. There are people that are exactly the opposite of what you described that you can not...

    I mash the gas and if the car can't handle it I go buy one that can. There are plenty out there

    Stress? We can come back to this once you start a shop. Wait til have to give your employees an IOU for half their paycheck, your CC is maxed out, bills late and you don't have enough work coming in to get you out of the hole. I had to "borrow" diesel fuel out of our customers equipment to run...
  11. Finding jobs with new UV Printer

    Quick and easy is crowded but there will always be plenty of room for quality and hard workers. Best thing to do is get out and start pounding the pavement, you will find the work if you want it.

    That's stuffs brutal. I doubt that vinyl would have even stuck for this long. Last one we got you could hardly get the transfer tape off the vinyl without pulling it up. Pretty sure the lettering fell off before the guy even got out of the parking lot.

    It's your chin hairs.

    Cobwebs?

    The trick is to ascertain which jobs are a real rush and which are not. Then sandbag the ones that aren't. If they're decent, it trains them, if they're always gonna be a pita, it runs them off. Win win
  16. What are some ways to show gratitude to past clients?

    Nope, just Spanish and Pennsylvania redneck.
  17. Need Help Having trouble with export

    This won't help but Corel does that to us sometimes. Can usually re-export it and it clears up.
  18. What are some ways to show gratitude to past clients?

    I used to do that at every convenient store I went in.
  19. What are some ways to show gratitude to past clients?

    I don't think any of these giveaway things really do anything other than bump up your own ego. We put keychains on everything that comes in here, give away pens, hats, shirts, signs etc. I remember giving out dry erase wall calendars to jobsites and trying to be the first in there with one so...

    You're flopping all over the place here, you brought up your boss taking rush orders, that you are able to knock out but annoy you. I never said unprofitable, I said cheap. Big difference there. Our ability to do jobs fast, slow, late or on time is all baked into our pricing, I just do not...
