  1. Latex Printer in apartment?

    Ikarasu makes a good point...can you start with outsourcing for now and see how that goes? I guess we don't know what you are currently doing now.
  2. Latex Printer in apartment?

    OOPS The thing I know for sure is you can't just plug it a regular wall outlet, details...schmetails...whatever you guys say is probably right LOL
  3. Latex Printer in apartment?

    The power requirements will stop you in your tracks. I just bought a 315 last year and needed to have my service upgraded to 200amp. It needs 2-200amp outlets which is something an electrician is required to do and you would need permission from the apartment building owner or association. I had...
  4. $1000 van wrap

    I would guess if he's telling the truth it was a "practice job" and they guy charged him just for materials and used his van as his first wrap OR they did some kind of trade. The guy paid for materials plus a little extra in exchange for some kind of service. Clearly, you aren't getting the...
  5. Polling for Your Primary Monitor Setup for Order Management and Tracking

    The original question was about order tracking. I think there's a lot of smaller shops on here like myself. I use 3 total monitors and have one desk. The top left one, left open all the time with SignTracker on it so my orders are always a glance away. I can also turn it so customers can see the...
  6. "You'll have to eat your chili with a fork": Managerial Failure 101

    The best fast "food places" IMO are Culvers and Kwik Trip. They pay their employees well. I was just at Kwik Trip and associate managers make $50k+.
  7. "You'll have to eat your chili with a fork": Managerial Failure 101

    Fast food joints are sketchy these days. Last time I was at Burger King my son and I had to run for our lives due to a domestic violence fight in the kitchen. I thought for sure the guy had a gun was going to start shooting. We were scared to death. We saw him walk through the parking lot and he...
  8. big windows needing window perf

    I agree with Victor, that's what I would do also.
  9. Vinyl install toolbox

    I like some of these ideas! I have a carry box that sits on top of a cart. Usually I have a 100' cord on the bottom...must be in my van. After I left a 100' cord on a jobsite I started putting a business sticker on EVERYTHING. And, I do not do meth and I never have...Texas!
  10. Need Help Pricing Help

    Until you figure out your overhead, hourly rate, etc. you can use a few different tools to get you in the ballpark. (Definitely use White Haus' link - lots of good stuff in there) These guys have some pretty decent calculators. https://thesignexpert.com/sign-pricing-calculators/ Signs.com -...
  11. Tech-Challenged Boss Reconciling Online Purchases

    Sounds like an idiot. Either get with the times or go out of business. Perhaps he's purposely trying to "fight the system".
  12. Question Ribbon type that can be overlaid with vinyl

    What kind of ribbon? If it's like a satin sash then you should be using HTV with a heat press or screen print transfers - not vinyl. Do you have a sample you can show us? Have you tried a heat gun yet?
  13. Large graphics single person install

    Yup! I print most of my stuff here now! I used the IJ180 until all of you turned me on to the SLX+ - now it's the only thing I use! That police car partial wrap I did was made so much easier with the SLX+. I still order out my perf and I guess clear cling LOL
  14. A pleasure to be amongst you

    You already fit in! Welcome!
  15. Large graphics single person install

    Yup! I LOVE IT! I remember last summer I had helper with a horizontal panel similar to gnublers but longer. They held the corner so tight it was stretched out like an extra inch. Was a real PITA to get it flat! But I trimmed it up and all was fine LOL Lesson learned! Hold it gently, just enough...
  16. Large graphics single person install

    The biggest thing to remember is keep it in your head not to stretch the vinyl. Don't pull it too tight from any corner or side. Nothing like ending up with a long droopy corner.
  17. Large graphics single person install

    They need to add this emoji...for YOUR COMMENTS!
  18. Flip & fold cheer signs?

    Is that just coroplast with the center piece being attached with the vinyl? Could you use some kind of 2-3" tape to hold the center piece on then apply vinyl over it?
  19. Best Shop Management Software for Working with Multiple Product Catogories

    Simpleton here. I use SignTracker. I make signs, screen print, embroidery, banners, decals. I have all my print materials entered as linear and square foot depending on what they are. There are task lists for your employees, several kinds of calendars, lists, place for details, photo storage...
  20. Large graphics single person install

    I do this all the time alone. Either way will work fine. If it's not windy I would just center hinge and take all the backing paper off the left side then do the right side. 3' is manageable to hold. If it's windy then do Burtons way. Out of curiosity, has anyone ever used a Big Squeegee for an...
