Nice Site Beautiful site- well done. I hope it brings you a ton of leads and sales! chris

Error Code- Maybe some help - hopefully! Hi, I know what you're going through. Getting this error can be frustrating, as there are many things that can cause it. Sounds like you cleaned the encoder strip (both sides with 90%+ alcohol?) Make sure you use 90+ (according to our tech.) We've taken...

Commercial real estate proved to be some of our best investments ever. We worked out of all four of the properties and since sold each of them. We rented-out most of the properties as we moved on to the next one. The MOST IMPORTANT consideration with commercial property (in my opinion), is to...

Awesome!!!! No matter what happens with the rivers, weather, disasters, economy, government, etc, YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON THE DRIVING SPIRIT OF THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY TO KEEP TRYING NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!

We use two stations with Flexi, and have debated over and over whether we should import client files into Adobe Suite as jpegs and then print. But the problems don't happen frequently enough for us to do this drastic measure. I think part of our solution is our system that our designers are...

The sign and marketing industry is one of the best industries to pursue in the U.S. If you know how to market, are persistent and a "hard worker," there is no other industry that rewards entrepreneurs as this industry does! Sure, it's labor and mentally intensive, but if you have the guts to...

Our experience with mesh banner (the first time) was in "proper seeming." We were doing a huge P.A. Speaker mesh banner project and attempted to do traditional seeming for the P.A. Speakers. Well, they split within an hour, and we had to take them down and sew them with industrial sewing...

Search engines "index" text copy. Your entire home page is java script or pictures. So any text (content) on your home page is "invisible" to the Googlebots. You can remedy this by making your links and content "text based" so that Google can follow these links to other sub pages within...

Nothing beats "research." When I got out of college, I had a job which I supplied all kinds of garden products to several competitors of the "big retailers." After a few weeks on the job, it started to amaze me how many times I saw competitors "checking prices" on my customers. I even got...

We used a Big Squeegee for all our "hand applied" overlam jobs. It's tricky, but you can successfully use a BS once you get the "hang of it." If you're looking for a cold lam, keep an eye on Craigslist. We found a GBC for 1/10 the price of buying one new. But we still use the BS for jobs...

Banners, are (almost by far) our best $ per labor hour product/service. My least favorite: 1) contour cut letters (especially the small ones) often only a $20 - $100 order than can be a nightmare. 2) car wraps (at least at this point. So many areas to mess-up, and so labor-intensive.) 3)...

Overlaminated Arlon vinyl from Montroy. Worked better than anything else we've tried.

Here's an example of two we just finished a couple months ago: The client was extremely happy with the results.

We have a policy of not accepting any client requests for printing on their media/substrates unless approved by management (me.) In my short experience in this industry, you simply have no idea where the media/substrate is coming from, and, as I'm sure, most people would (hopefully) agree on...

We get some banding with certain prints, while others look awesome. I (might wrongly) believe that the art files have something to do with this. Just because it's inconsistent. Especially when we receive pdf's. But overall, we're very happy with our Mutoh.

Think it over very, very carefully. You're getting ready to become an employee. And if that's what you want, then maybe this will work. But after selling several businesses, it's never the same. If you really want to sell, you might also want to consider selling and moving on (getting...

GREAT JOB! You did a really nice job. Not only did you add a nice landscape to an otherwise depressed wall, but you also helped keep the economy moving (got the job, bought the vinyl, did the work! And it was a lot of work!!! "Keep-on, keeping-on," Chris

Joined ASI our first year in business, found most of the suppliers awesome. Just also got "overwhelmed" and decided to focus on our main core of business. Just like anything else, if you have the time and attention to get "good at it," I know for a fact it can be awesome. We don't do many ad...

We love our Mutoh 48 vj1204 (also have a GBC 40" cold/hot lam). I used to own an embroidery small business, and haven't much experience in the garment industry other than that. But our Mutoh runs constantly, and for jobs (wider car wraps mostly) we job out the panels to Lowen. I can't...

Welcome to Signs101! We use to operate out of Indy and had an office in Louisville. My fondest memory: attending the Kentucky Derby with a great friend. SSOOOO much fun! Good luck!
