Here is a simple floor plan of my shop, with my current thoughts on the layout of the shop. The building is just a big open shell, so there is not much to show with pictures. I'm moving from a 2800 sqft shop that I rent. My current bay has only a 9ft door, which limits the size of the vehicle I...

I do have a simple floor plan at the shop - I'll post tomorrow.

I remember the days of using a sled on my old daige to laminate prints and what a stressful experience it always was. I added a EL 54 and I can laminate all day and not have any worries.....I highly recommend this machine, it is well worth it. I print as many jobs as I can in a day and roll them...

They did pay for the first couple of projects, it just took them 2 months to do so. I kindly circled my payment options on their most recent proposal and I received a call and an apology. Which was nice, but I'm just not feeling that this is going to turn out good. They have offered to pay in...

I have a fairly new client, I've done a handful of jobs for. It started off awful, they didn't pay for 60 days, borrowed material in a last minute rush (they are a marketing firm with a in-house print shop) and never returned or paid for what they borrowed. They have asked me to quote and...
