  1. Buying a franchise

    I would second Mosher- I looked at S-A-R before I went it on my own ( small business experience but no sign experience) and have never regretted it. I rented a prime spot (not a strip mall) and figured it out- now I own that spot and have a renter for part of it and I am pretty much retired...

    I fought a similar issue for six months on my roland. All head prints were great-finally replaced the cyan head and prints like new. Seven billion shots btw.
  6. Some basic questions about HDU, paint and stuff around that.

    You seem to use HDU and HPU interchangeably? Check out 3dsignforum.com for more info on hdu, paint etc. Gene
  7. Hello from germany

    Welcome from Minnesota. We had a German fellow in the sign camp in Indiana last summer who is very knowledgable. I will see if I can find his name- I think he was from Bavaria? BTW your english is better than most here. Gene
  8. 4th grade level question about hard drive ghosting.

    I clone all of my system drives with True Image- very easy and if a drive fails or becomes badly compromised I can have the puter back up in 10 minutes. I use all Dell Optiplex puters and have even switched system drives from other puters successfully.

    On ours the upper die slowly peens over to the point where the cut out pcs of vinyl etc. jamb in there and then you cannot compress the grommet all the way. Tip it over and look. Gene
  12. ??? Franchise Pricing ???

    And they are paying about 8% off the top to SAR (at least that was what it was 16 years ago when I talked to them extensively before starting my own shop without them). :covereyes:

  16. Gold Sign paint?

    I *think* that the Rustoleum gold is a different gold than the ModernMasters gold that we used at Robs. We have some of the former (also from Menards) and it isn't the same. Gene
  17. Weight of printed 180C with 8519 laminate - no liner

    We have a customer who campaigns a pro dragster nationally- they wrap their body because it is lighter than paint. We just patched the vinyl on the body from a engine that turned grenade.
  18. Roland Spot colors- is it possible to print PR 35K?

    PR 35K is 100% magenta but it is also the cutline 'color'. Thanks Gene
  19. Looking to pay someone for help

    Learning the software is hard- but you don't learn anything by doing what you already know. I can remember grinding away at a logo for hours that I could do in 5 min now. It is the grinding and frustration that teaches us.
  20. Why do people try to haggle with sign shops?

    Simple solution. No. Once had a customer tell me that 'I never take no for an answer'. I said 'Sure you do- I just told you no'. He still comes in but he talks to my daughter. Mission Accomplished- ©GWB
