Get a macBook, you cannot go wrong with Apple! I have a 27" iMac with all the bells and whistles and I LOVE IT. I just got into Mac last year, a lot more costly but they are so much faster, better at design and really aid you in business. I think of it as an investment.

WELCOME, we are about 3 hours apart I live in Spring Valley and my shop is in Peru.

Hand them to your customers at a distance! DUH!:omg2: PITCH THEM - I mean if you were UNHAPPY with them why would you ask?

Well if nothing else this should be a good lesson in either stock more supplies which as a sign shop should be a given OR dont RANT on Signs101! I do painted signs so I do not keep a lot of normal vinyl at my disposal but sitting in my rack is 300' of 15" black, 150' of 24" black and 3...

If it is the OAKLEY Background that you are talking about, it does have a name it is called "COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT". I am a huge Oakley fan and I am pretty sure that snowmobile was one that was given away by Oakley. If you do that same thing for a customer Oakley could sue you. Food for thought!

If you do not charge them sales tax, then you will have to pay sales tax as anytime that you supply a product and not a service it is applicable for sales tax. If you are taking cash, dont talk about it on the net:omg2: Even if they have a re-sale certificate they are buying signs for there...

Thanks, here is design layout and a close up of the shield center section so you can see the antique copper finish up close. The Capone design is the next back painted and mirrored panel that I am going to do. I just cut the glass this morning, everything black/red is black/red and all the...

Here is a great video of Dave Smith, possibly one of the best glass artists alive today! His work, take top notch to an entirely new level! http://vimeo.com/14985356

I own almost all Dave Smiths art, fonts and so on... Dave is a great guy. If you havent tried his Smith tip yet you should buy one for gold leaf, it is beyond great. I own Mike Jacksons entire collection but that is a great deal on LHF if you cannot buy them all at one time!

I only use my cell phone for emergency, I actually cannot stand them or people driving with them!!! I work from my house and like landlines better.

Sony Vegas 8 is very good but personally just buy her a Flip HD camera. I own a iMac so I have iMovie and I can 100% edit a flip video in about 10 minutes and load it to YouTube. She will like the Sony video editing software.

Yeah, been there in fact Mike Jackson re-did this image and I bought all of his design books. Great guy with great re-made designs. I dont have a lot of time for forums as I normally am working or spending time with my family but like to come from time to time. By the way this is mirrored and...

DarkDragon, I think that it is a little bit more then equipment malfunction. Check out uscutter.com/forum those guys are use to using ebay equipment. If you are getting images given to you either for free (finding them on the net) or from clients you need to make sure that they are both...

I believe that the original of this sign was a Rawson & Evans sign but I did it this on float glass, back painted this in black and then mirrored the scroll in antique silver and the words and the center panel are a antique copper mirroring.

Paint it! I have signs painted that have been in corn fields for better then 15 years and the older they get the better they look, you can never say the same for vinyl!

I do most of my signs on glass or antique mirror that I make. My business is a little more unique then some but then again I dont do normal signs. Problem with asking how much can someone bring in (being in it for 2 years already) is: 1) Have you been in the black for 2 years? If so, what %...

Is it at all possible that the images offered are just not what he was looking for. I really like Freds stuff so dont get me wrong and I do have him bookmarked for future projects. With that said there is a ton of sites out there that give you free stuff but honestly who wants it? Almost...

A short burst of time weeds out the bad companies and they fold anyway! If you work from home you have low overhead but no exposure and if you have a shop you have walkins and exposure but not always more then a tire kicker. Just because you are doing good in an area doesnt mean someone else will.

Here is the law word for word: Copyright law protects authors and artists who create original works from those who might copy their works. A work may be registered with the United States Copyright Office, but the creator is protected by copyright law even if the work is not registered. As has...

Never looked at or heard of a thin copyright. I guess over the years customers have abused that one on me as well. I guess for me I would just rather distance myself from a non paying party or a party that takes me for less then $200 as the time in court is not worth as much as my time...
