FedEx ground drivers have to pay for lost and damaged packages. They all carry insurance for it, but the drivers rates go up if they go over a certain level of claims.

The problem with laser is that the fuser will stretch the films a slight amount. On spot color jobs you might never notice it. But try a 6 color sim process or a CMYK print and you'll notice it while registering. That being said we use laser because we have a good copier for it. When we...

They're SOP in most industries. I wont install on a customers vehicle unless he signs a waiver.

Yes and no. If I'm doing design/layout I charge $90/hour in 15 minute increments. That being said, I'm trying to work a design service from Affinity into my order workflow and stop doing design inhouse.

Typestries is awesome!

They don't wash well. For the money I prefer other brands. Let me know what you think of them though

Look at the canvas 3001 and canvas 3001u (US made). They are our #1 seller for mens fashion fit shirts.

Try Bean-e-doo from Franmar. It takes off most of the inks we work with.

Try Gill Line

What exactly do YOU do? Sales and marketing and business management. And ordering and sometimes printing and vinyl. Oh and most of the prepress. We're an ASI contract printer (asi/700679) but do some retail work in our immediate area. I also am a partner in another sign related business...

Were an asi contract printer. I get more free from the sgia than I do from ASI. The SGIA webinars are pretty good. Ive learned quite a bit from them

We're primarily an apparel shop, signage is a secondary market. For small quantities 1-4 we charge $20 each. At 23 pieces you are getting down to around $12 each. Larger quantities make more sense to screen print. $6 seems steep for a shirt and a press. If this is something you will be...

You're right, it's not price fixing, but it is collusion and it's a criminal offense.

Don't forget insurance. General and Professional liability. As for a cutter? When I added vinyl to my screen printing shop I got a US Cutter Laserpoint 24" for about $400 with 10 rolls of vinyl and about 6 blades. We're primarily a screen printing shop, so I bought it to cut names and...

Just get a decent spam filter. We use Google Apps for business and I never get these.

Have you tried eco-print? http://www.imprintables.com/product/eco-print,487,70.htm

I buy them from an ASI supplier, finished and ready to give to the customer or drop shipped direct to the customer. At Staples regular price (~$180) I make about $100 per set (banner + stand) but on that sale price I would make only about $20. Luckily that sale is done, but you just need to...

We have terms with almost all of our suppliers, don't you?

Screen Print, Vinyl and Dye Sublimation, and small scale installation - wall wraps, etc... We're a small 3 man shop that started as a 1 man shop. Terms? Invoices due upon receipt for most customers, 50% upfront for new or smaller customers and for most screen printing orders. We...

How long have have you been doing this? I had a walk in two weeks ago looking for large format black and white. Not that I could sell him anything, but just saying... As for banner stands? I sell a few a month. I was at a chamber speed networking event last month and had a dozen people...
