  1. Extend lease or buy new building?

    I apologize for my short responses, I really shouldn't have. I agree we just disagree on things and it doesn't really matter to me or to you what each of us does. I apologize. PS I don't agree there are NO tax benefits, but let's leave it at that. I feel bad for hijacking this guys thread, I...
  2. Extend lease or buy new building?

    Okay dumb-ass, last time: Children get the withholdings back when they file taxes with the standard deduction - you probably knew that but wouldn't be willing to admit you were wrong (on many things). You referred to payroll taxes (which you don't pay on kids per the link i sent you - dumb...
  3. Extend lease or buy new building?

    Last reply, I don't want to hijack this thread. I will provide you with a little reading (it's a bummer you think reading is bad): 1-4. Personal attacks which are like everything else you've written, inaccurate (most likely malicious). It doesn't really matter to me what you think I do or do...
  4. Extend lease or buy new building?

    Buddie, you should change your name from notarealsignguy to notafinanceguy... 1) Adding children to your payroll is perfectly legal. It takes a few minutes to google this to verify it: https://www.oberlanderandco.com/insights/kids-on-payroll...
  5. Extend lease or buy new building?

    This is inaccurate - the principle payments become an asset, not profit. You depreciate the asset so you show zero profit. If you show a net loss on the LLC, you can then use that as a future hedge against taxes for your personal income you make your other business that is the renter (sounds...
  6. Extend lease or buy new building?

    We purchased a building at the end of 2019 - we are in Seattle, WA (actually a suburb called Kent) and when we signed our lease in 2015 rent was .40 $/sq. ft. for warehouse and in 2019 it was going up to .77 $/sq. ft. so buying made more sense. We purchased a building via the SBA and locked in a...
  7. So, how're ya planning it................................................................................... ??

    We do the same. It's a nice break and we can focus on cleaning up the shop when it's slow during that break if we come in at all.
  8. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    Yes, while our news outlets report inflation is only in the 8% range, that is because our government keeps changing the way they calculate inflation... If you used calculations from previous years our rate would be much higher. It's similar to the way the government has been reporting...
  9. I need recommendations for a new printer

    I forgot to add, the other small improvement made on the S80 vs the s50/s70 offerings was the take up reel dancer bar. It's WAY better - the s30/50/70 had these stupid weight things on the sides and it could cause tracking issues, the s80 has a lever designed dancer bar that works much better...
  10. Looking for 'feet' for standing sign boards

    You need to look at my post. I am in Seattle WA and they are in Florida somewhere. I am not associated with them other than I buy from them. They are DGS and I am DSGI.
  11. Looking for 'feet' for standing sign boards

    The expolinc ones are nice, but they are expensive! We switched to these a few years ago and haven't looked back: http://dgs-usa.com/boarders-2/
  12. I need recommendations for a new printer

    The s50/s70 had a different pinch roller system than the S80 does. We had issues with our S70s for years with headstrikes and it pretty much is non existent on our s80s. I hear Epson will release a new solvent as well, but the updates they release tend to be small/incremental increases so I...
  13. Trade Print Services

    I've always been disappointed by 4over - I can never get ahold of anyone when I called to get support, so I went with another printer. We just decided it wasn't worth reselling things we can't make in house anymore.
  14. Suggestions Looking for a flatbed printer

    There are a lot of options in both the used and new entry level flatbed market, the most common names on this forum are Vanguard and Digitech. They both offer good machines and have pros and cons. Vanguard is owned by Durst and the founder recently passed away - in my opinion these are...

    Hello All - A customer of ours needs us to make four custom signs for the highway, we are required to use 3M 3930 for the High Intensity Prismatic Reflective Sheeting DOT requirement. Can we laminate that with 3M 8518? Thanks!

  17. Anyone getting a good Dye Sub black and white?

    Hi Dan - We've had the same issues over the years, also had some small issues with our profiles (one came out a little cyan cast on colored prints, not horrible but not 100% accurate, and now we have a profile we made in Onyx with the Epson contone driver for f7200 printers - it has a little...
  18. CET K2-1000L flatbed with intermittent banding issues and nozzle fallout

    I thought that would be the case, we can't run solid colors on our CET in larger screen values, basically it's too few a passes and the printer doesn't seem to be able to deliver the ink quickly enough to meet the demand which results in missing nozzles and ultimately banding. We run everything...
  19. CET K2-1000L flatbed with intermittent banding issues and nozzle fallout

    What print mode are you running in (what resolution and passes)?
  20. Epson s40,60 and 80 ink for sale

    Why are you selling the ink? Did your s80 not work out?
