That's it! Thanks a bunch!

...this one is off the tip of my tongue. Anyone? Bueller?!

IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT CHIT-CHAT, SKIP TO THE "...My question" Okay, so here's some backstory... I have a well-intentioned business partner who sold a job to a guy who sells trucks. This job involves screen-printing logos onto a bunch of black pleather vinyl tire covers. Well, to do it...

Hello All, I have a customer I'm making a hanging sign for, sand-blasted, painted, all that... and they're looking to get a custom hanging frame built. Does anyone here know anyone that makes these types of things out of iron or whatever's clever these days for a retro-brick & metal/gothic...

Yeah, WTFont... that way I can say it around my kids. My daughter's almost two... all the time... "What the font!", especially when she drops stuff.

Little Cambodia... what's the font? It's almost like the font Esquire magazine uses... thanks in advance!

Any ideas? I don't think the top and bottom fonts are the same, but I could be wrong if the bottom font is all stretched out. Either way, thanks a bunch!

I'd word it like this: "IF YOU'RE ON A TRAIL THAT'S CLEARLY MARKED AND STILL NEED YOUR CELL PHONE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO, USE IT TO CALL 911 FOR ASSISTANCE NOW AND SAVE THE TAXPAYERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS SOME TIME. IF YOU INSIST ON CARRYING A CELL PHONE ANYWAY, PLEASE TURN AROUND...

I agree. People can call you every day or send you collection notices, but if you never received an invoice, they usually don't have a leg to stand on. If they say they mailed it, then ask them when, etc. Grill them. I mean, you're going to wind up paying this anyway, but you have to go...

Like they said in Beerfest about the ZJ, "if you have to ask... baby... you can't afford it."

I've used TransferRite for everything, including transferring big prints. The only issue I have with it, and this would be any mask, is that when used with any sort of 3M comply, the tape doesn't stick to the paper backing after you've weeded anything that's cut out. Means you have to keep the...

Dude, that Caddy looks nice. Forgive my naivety, but how do you get that embossed look? Never seen that when it wasn't a cool printer trick.

That's like waiting to change the oil in your car until the oil light comes on. Some things you have to be vigilant about.

Our nut for a shop with two owners and no employees is consistently about $1600 + materials, which work out to be between 5 and 50% of the profit, depending on how much work we do in-house. We're a small shop, so to stay competitive sometimes we have to signs365 it and mark it up a few bucks.

I've never used Grimco's tech support, and I'm in the market sometime in the future to get on board with someone. Nice to see a good story.

Just opened up my own shop, and this is my first foray back into the pricing side of things in a few years. I was asked to quote a wrap for a 12-passenger Ford Transit. How weird are the lines on that thing? Looks like the flat would be a pro and the weird slanty lines would be a con...

I have a customer who's asking for decals that are laminated with some sort of rigid laminate that are meant to be completely submerged for months at a time. Any idea what kind of laminate this is or something that would work?

I think there are places for a sign-makers union. I remember working in Denver, skipping from franchise to franchise, each one run by some douche who made money from the dot.com bubble and heard sign shops were easy... all of the production staff getting paid like $10/hour, the highly skilled...

I go by the book, $72 minimal install charge, $38 for a trip charge within ten miles, $2/mile after 10.

...Friday brain freeze. Started scrolling through my fonts and gave up after about 25 minutes. Both the lines of font on this image are a goddamn elusive mystery to me at the moment. Side note, all you guys are great. Some of us don't give as much as we take from this site, and I assure...
