Those are from 2007, when I was a regular sign shop taking anything and everything. I'm now a Design Studio, only take on work that I like to do. But yeah, I am fast enough to do that many designs. However, I'm not that busy because I'm not seeking to be that busy. I'm paying my bills, I have...

If you aren't paying for the art or creating it yourself, you are doing it wrong.

The industry was bound to head to a tipping point. As printers got cheaper, larger companies with larger resources buying direct, importing machines, etc. When I first got into wide format, MacDermid ColorSpan was almost the only player in town. I thought I was going to rock the billboard...

That's the point... they don't get good design if they don't pay. But they get something, instead of me just printing what they brought in. A "F-U Logo" for not allowing me to do my job, but you think you know better. And they end up liking it, and I'm laughing all the way to the bank.

Well, the Terms of Service dictate that you can't sell your works or make any money using those educational versions. Obviously, living in such a litigious society, you could be sued, or lumped into a group targeted for mass reparations. Remember MP3s and Napster? Teenagers on the hook for...

HAHA! Hit the nail on the head, Pat. We can all be assured that Phillip Seymore Hoffman had hit up a few McDonald's in his time. He just has that addictive personality. Which is partly why is was such a good actor. Delving into the darkest recesses of the mind isn't for the sane and square...

If you are set up properly, you can get your banner material for 11¢ per sq. ft. (at least a 3.2m machine) Inks for those machines have ink costs as low as $10 per liter of ink, so ink costs are negligible as well. This is one of the reasons why it's so hard to have a 54" wide printer to...

The only people who I know that are admitted smokers (which I'm not one of them) are of the variety that if it grows out of the ground it can't be all that bad for you. And they shun man made chemicals and anything altered from it's natural state. There are many like that. Other drug users are...

You can always offer a professional courteous discount. It will serve you in the end as well. Someday you will need something, and you can get the favor returned. Charging for vinyl printing will always be at a different level than banners. There are more variables with vinyl prints. Their end...

That's very common with isolationism. If there weren't a drop to drink, nor a bud to smoke, the idle mind, coupled with teen angst and other emotions that pertain to coming into one's own... they would find some sort of other self destructive or show-off behavior to be involved in. What adults...

$3.50 is too low, unless you are working out of a really impoverished part of the country. Always try to get at least $5. (I should add, that having is printer is actually great for some things. Printing banners isn't one of them however)

That town looks boring... how about give it some edge.

Nope, first outside criticism he gets on his sign, he'll blame shift. "Well, Sign Biz down the street made them, and I think they overcharged me too... those $#&^@#$%!" Seriously, if you can't throw at least a palm tree on the side, some bolder fonts, important info standing out in 10 minutes...

Guaranteed, that the first person to die from THC overdose will get his own strain named after him and it will become wildly popular! "Hey man, did you hear about that guy who locked himself in a room and swore that he was going to kill himself just from smoking weed?" "Nah man, what...

No one has ever OD'd on marijuana... ever.

Why can't it be a regular press? Maybe one with a direct to press imaging drums and in-line coaters? :cool: Would be cheaper than digital (like an Indigo) for cost per impression. (And 4over does do runs that large... you just gotta place multiple orders. They'll even group the shipping for...

I only recognized it because I use a lot of their "Gear Ties" which are basically metal wire ties wrapped wrapped in that grooved rubber. They make really long ones, that are perfect for mounting a shop ladder to a roof rack without having to go into great hassle of ratchets and straps. Plus I...

I told you it was a light! :Big Laugh If you look closely you can see the button battery inside, plus the Nite ) IZE logo has a half moon crescent in it... that's what looks like a parenthesis before the IZE

I'm not interested until I can get .grafix :ROFLMAO:

No, you sub out at $1.00 per sq, then charge regular price (whatever your market will bear) + design if applicable. Collect check, move on to next job.
