  1. Moving to a new state. Weighing my options.

    Yeah true, but from what I've read and what I've been told by a few people I know personally who have lived there. Liberal politics seem to be isolated to Atlanta. Once you go outside of Atlanta it's very conservative. I actually looked at TN for a while, I just had a hard time finding a city...
  2. Moving to a new state. Weighing my options.

    True, my nextdoor neighbor's daughter lives in Cumming I agree, I'm not moving immediately. I'm still paying off some debts and saving as much as I can. I'm just getting started with researching and coming up with a plan for right now. I for sure and going to wait until this whole, ummm...
  3. Moving to a new state. Weighing my options.

    I haven't put together a business plan yet, because I haven't visited the area yet. My wife and I are going to take a week off and take a trip there to research the local job a business market. I'm not sure what you mean about giving me 800,00 reasons to reconsider my move.
  4. Moving to a new state. Weighing my options.

    We have a 5 year old daughter and will likely have another child by the time we end up moving, so living out of an industrial building just isn't an option for me. I chose Georgia because it seemed to be the best mix of cost of living/ rural countryside / city life / climate / politics. I...
  5. Moving to a new state. Weighing my options.

    I'm planning on moving just outside of Atlanta. So there should be a lot of customer opportunities. From my experience in the traffic sign industry, it's the cities you want to get in with and contractors are a close second. But they each have their pros and cons. Cities spend more money, but...
  6. Moving to a new state. Weighing my options.

    Hey everyone, Well I get straight to it. I'm the manager of my family sign business (mostly traffic signs), and my wife and I just decided we want to move to Georgia. My family situation is weird, but pretty much when I tell them that I'm leaving I will likely be disowned so it's kind of an...
  7. Moving to a new state, and weighing my options.

    Hey everyone, Well I get straight to it. I'm the manager of my family sign business (mostly traffic signs), and my wife and I just decided we want to move to Georgia. My family situation is weird, but pretty much when I tell them that I'm leaving I will likely be disowned so it's kind of an...
  8. Atlanta GA area suppliers?

    Hey everyone, I currently live in Southern California, however my wife and I decided we want to move to Georgia. We just feel it's a better fit for us. We're looking at homes in Dacula, which is about 30 minutes outside of Atlanta. Right now I mainly use B2sign for my large format specialty...
  9. QUOTE HELP. I've never had a quote request like this.

    They didn't include any PMS colors. Just an image as an example. I'll ask them about the orange though, thanks for mentioning that. I mean you're in AZ, Every region has different managers and some are pickier than others. This one might not care all that much about color matching.
  10. QUOTE HELP. I've never had a quote request like this.

    I think they want a price for singles for the record. Say if they decide to go with me they know in the future that if they need one for an emergency they have something to go off of. That's my guess. Yeah I figured I'd charge 10-20% more if they get the Black/Red.
  11. QUOTE HELP. I've never had a quote request like this.

    It's not printed. It's plain cut vinyl and covered with transfer tape then chopped.
  12. QUOTE HELP. I've never had a quote request like this.

    Hey guys, I just got a quote request for a cut vinyl decal that's 120" x 29". They artwork is fairly simply (Attached) but they're asking for pricing for 3 different quantities. A price for: 1, 50, 100. TBH I've never had someone ask for that many of decals that big before so I'm kind of...
  13. TrafficJet - Blotchy prints only on T-1500D.

    The only problem with the 6500 is that the prism pattern is so busy that if the sign has small letters its very difficult to read. I have a few customers who only want their signs made with glass bead EG for this reason.
  14. TrafficJet - Blotchy prints only on T-1500D.

    What's interesting is that I didn't have the "printable" 1500 (T-1500D) when I got this printer so I tried printing on what had on hand (T-1500A) and I got this result. I showed it to the tech and he said it was because I wasn't printing on the printable 1500. So I ordered a few rolls of the...
  15. TrafficJet - Blotchy prints only on T-1500D.

    Hey guys, I've been working with this TrafficJet/Mutoh VJ 1638x for about 2 weeks now and I've been having problems with the prints looking blotchy on the T-1500D Glass Bead Engineering grade. It looks like as if the ink isn't laying down evenly, so when it drys it looks blotchy. I asked the...
  16. Droplets around the edge of print head. Normal?

    Thanks! I talked to the technician who trained me with the printer and he said it was condensation, and it's nothing to worry about.
  17. Droplets around the edge of print head. Normal?

    Printer model TrafficJet/Mutoh VJ 1638x. I just got it about a week ago and I went to clean it and I noticed little droplets around the edges of the print head. Is this normal? I looked in the manual and online and everything says to NOT touch the print heads. So what do I do?
  18. Gerber Edge FX Spotty Prints.

    I'm using Oracal 651. There isn't an option for Oracal vinyls in Gerber so I'm using Scotchcal 220 for the settings. But the thing is that the settings and vinyl never changed. It just started printing like this.Those spots are in the print, it's not dust on top of it.
  19. Gerber Edge FX Spotty Prints.

    Hey Guys, Within the last 2 weeks my Edge FX has been putting out spotty prints. All these prints were done with a freshly cleaned print head and I even cleaned the squeegee on the print head and the 2 squeegees on the vinyl press arm that holds the vinyl on the feed wheel. All foils I used...
  20. Reverse print on back of clear acrylic help

    I'm having an issue with these name plaques. I reverse printed them on clear vinyl and applied it to the back of clear acrylic and it came out looking like crap. I think the adhesive is causing the foggy look. I'm wondering how the person who made the one in the sample image got it to come out...
