  1. SLX+ Good Idea or Bad

    Buy direct, free shipping, good customer service and it's made in the USA.
  2. Most Efficient Adhesive Removal - Suggestions Please

    Razor blade and rapid remover. Glass is easy.
  3. SLX+ Good Idea or Bad

    I meant IJ40 doesn't pencil out. I just don't like IJ35 because it's made in China and has a lot of bad reviews on Grimco.
  4. Urgent Design Help

    Branding is secondary in this instance IMO. The location is the only thing that matters in this business so you need to send the message urgent care and that's really it. It's a place where you go to the closest one or the first one you see not a destination like a restaurant or grocery store...
  5. SLX+ Good Idea or Bad

    I should use Substance on these and put the savings in my pocket, doubt they would know or care. $430 for IJ40 now. Doesn't pencil out for a material that still has limitations of a calendared vinyl. I don't like IJ35 but used to use Oracal 3165 with 215 laminate (price also went through the...
  6. Estimate and Accounting Software

    you snooze you lose
  7. Estimate and Accounting Software

    I use a stack of papers on my desk to manage work flow. Whatever is on the top gets done, anything under it is for another day. If the stack gets too tall, it gets moved to the table where my wife finds it and yells at me.
  8. SLX+ Good Idea or Bad

    I use SLX+ but wasn't sure about this application. 3M adhesive is pretty aggressive. 3m's price on IJ40 is getting pretty close to cast material and figured it would be easier to just use the SLX+ in place of stuff where we use IJ40. What about Briteline wrapcast vs IJ40?
  9. Sign Estimating Software

    We do that with our paint shop but Estimate made the sign pricing much easier, it only takes a second to quote vs going back through old job costing reports. Contractors spend an inordinate amount of time bidding jobs so I don't think the plumber is the best comparison. Service work for them...
  10. SLX+ Good Idea or Bad

    We have been using IJ40C and 8518 on concrete mixer trucks. Do you think that SLX+ will stay adhered the same considering that these trucks are constantly washed?
  11. Urgent Design Help

    It's pretty bad but I didn't mind the cross since it's a universal symbol for emergency care. Having Health Express front and center might make people confused, it's a vitamin shop, dispensary, doctor's office, medical supplies, pharmacy. I know it says urgent care but the whole attention...
  12. When "your" customers get signage elsewhere

    Did you tell her yes we do that, but not for you? Been there done that.
  13. When "your" customers get signage elsewhere

    The new guy that comes in and switches to "his guy" pisses me off. I wouldn't let a new employee come in and dump long standing good vendors without a real convincing argument.
  14. When "your" customers get signage elsewhere

    I ask, if you're making a mistake you need to know. If you didn't, then you can hope it makes them feel bad. I have thick skin but having that happen is always a big kick in the balls, it can really screw with your head. One thing that helps is to always remember that everyone is an asshole...
  15. Which plotter to replace my CE6000? Used FC8600 OR New CE7000 ?

    Just for vinyl cutting, no print/cut?
  16. Salesperson from large company trying to steal clients?

    You can always play dirty too. Butter her up and throw her a few bucks for any jobs or referrals that turn into jobs she sends your way. When I was in equipment sales, I got a ton of business by being friendly with the competitors. If they didn't have something they would send them my way or...
  17. Salesperson from large company trying to steal clients?

    On another note, the picture you attached should go in the copyright use threads next time it comes up. There are a lot of grayish areas in copyright/trademark law but using other companies logos in your sales literature is not one of those gray areas.
  18. Salesperson from large company trying to steal clients?

    Work dropping off? Sometimes companies will take the gravy customers from the rep after a certain amount of time in order to keep them hungry enough to wake up in the morning. They could have split sales territories and this person got stuck with the backwoods (no offense) where it is really...
  19. Bleed?

    OP, what's bleed? sounds like were talking apples and oranges here
  20. Business evaluation

    For sure. The owners salary and perks need to match the market rate as if the new owner had to go out and hire the same skill set. Most owners don't pay themselves a real world salary to save on taxes and adjusting that will bump the net down. A lot of people looking to buy a business don't...
