  1. So it has come to my attention that....

    I've never had a problem with most screen printers ... like any other thing, I may dislike other people, but not because of their profession ... I dislike them because they are d-bags and they can be found in any job title.
  2. Sign Suppliers

    I just re-read that for the heck of it ... and please tell me your customer isn't trying to low ball you over probably the cheapest thing in a job is he/she? I had a customer a month ago who came in with a roll of vinyl wanting me to re-quote a job for him since he "already had the materials"...
  3. Illustrator Live Trace Tutorial Video

    Thanks for the share. You can do the same thing in any of the open source on the net that uses potrace (inkscape) and get better definition.
  4. Sign Suppliers

    +1. Sign Warehouse isn't cheaper than a wholesale to the industry supplier. Then again, they also require the TAX ID number and a few other things to sell to a company anyways.
  5. Great Application to Start Selling

    Seriously? the form is 3 minutes in draw or illustrator. Boxes for the team (logo that you already have) boxes for what they want (i.e. name, helmet, etc) with the prices for each and customer contact info. Probably have an extra spot for a cut vinyl name with 2 options of typeface for the...
  6. I hate GoDaddy

    They may have to migrate your account in order to get it to the godaddy side ... which is more than just switching a logo. Generally it involves exporting your old data off of one server and moving it to another and re-integrating all the details hoping there isn't version conflicts from their...
  7. I hate GoDaddy

    That is the problem ... it's not a godaddy domain .. it is a reseller domain handled THROUGH godaddy. ... technically it's not even yours, it's your resellers.
  8. Obsolete Toyota Logo

    It's ugly I'll give it that ... just pen tool the thing ... you can probably do it from that photo you uploaded in the time it will take you to do anything else ... it's not that complex. OR you could always up-sell your services and tell them that you will wave the additional design fee if...
  9. Where can I get some custom Scarves made? anyone on here do it?

    And just to point out before it gets asked ... digital printing is better than silk screening for this one ... skin to silkscreen ink contact on the neck sucks.
  10. Where can I get some custom Scarves made? anyone on here do it?

    do they want it stiched like that one or something silk screened or digitally printed ... cause digital printing and silk screened only really need fabrication time from yourself and someone to print the graphics.
  11. Fonts off of RV

    Sierra looks a lot like that babylon 5 font. http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/babylon5.htm
  12. how to sell outsourced..

    +1 to that. It really comes down to how the customer perceives your services. They don't go to any other retail place and ask "Who do you buy your (insert product here) from?" To your whole sale company you are a Dealer, and they are the Vendor. Use those terms. Terms such as outsource...
  13. Non-payer what would you do

    Whatever dude, possession is 9/10ths the law. If you get yanked out of your place of work for theft by the cops ... not my problem. Happened in Orlando to a couple sign shops for the same thing. Write it up in your contract that you can take the sign back and it's kosher. But if you want to...
  14. Having trouble combining in X5

    just as signage said, reversing the nodes helps. I've had that problem since corel 8. Especially when I am doing outlined objects (mainly illustrations) Sometimes if it still doesn't get fixed ... make a hairline outline of the object, break apart the outline then zoom all the way in to...
  15. Non-payer what would you do

    Again ... Repo'ing signs without repossession clause in a contract is theft. You must also notify the delinquent customer of a 30 day notice in most states of the repossession. Just doing a night grab can end you up in jail, ruin your businesses reputation and in the long run cost you...
  16. Homemade Application Fluid??

    I'm constantly layering graphics on vehicles and never pay for App liquid, like others have said, water, drop or two of soap (dawn works great) or baby shampoo and a little rubbing alcohol goes a long way. As for cleaning the surface ... I will use windex for most surfaces, if it's got wax...
  17. Non-payer what would you do

    Repo'ing signs without repossession clause in a contract is theft. You must also notify the delinquent customer of a 30 day notice in most states of the repossession. Just doing a night grab can end you up in jail, ruin your businesses reputation and in the long run cost you business. As...
  18. Beveled fonts

    They aren't sign gods not wanting to be bothered with your question, just tired of the same question OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Just make your own. http://signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83367
  19. How do you find good employees?

    At one shop I worked at back in the day, we needed help for 6 HUGE jobs we were doing ... most 'qualified' person to apply didn't know how to read a ruler and I had to color code the ruler to 1/4" marks. Needless to say, when we found ANYONE better he was gone. Finding a qualified individual...
