    Help me weed this?

    Hi, I need to make 100 stickers of this design. Weeding it is a nightmare, especially the small stuff around the shield. The sticker is 57*12 CM. Any tips on how to make it weed better? I tried lowering the pressure setting on my cutter to 280 but that didn't help.
  2. Do you guys work alone or own a company with employees? I work alone. I thought we could talk about our business model, what we do, and how. Share some experience etc. I want to charge my customers for logo design but I keep making free logos because Im afraid to lose a potential customer. Do you guys remove old vinyl and clean windows/cars for free? I do it for free.. What about delivery/application ? I do that for free too.

    Lets talk about pricing models.

    I charged him 350 dollars for this job and it was a very easy job so I did make decent money. But the thing is, other companies in Norway would charge 800 dollars minimum for the same job. I am self taught, not to brag but I believe my work is worth a lot more than even what those companies charge. It is impossible for them to compete with my skills without paying their graphic designers a ton of money. I know they have a collection of clip arts they use, and download from Google. I would love to charge more but cant risk losing a potential customer and earning 0

    Pricing Structure

    When you say $50/hr. Does that include designing, cutting, weeding etc. The time it takes for you to drive from your home to the customer etc. Or only installing the graphic?

    Having a real hard time installing on glass

    I know but some products like the one i bought earlier are designed to reduce tack permanently so the vinyl peels off easier. Thats what the supplier told be when I complained about it taking too long to dry.

    Having a real hard time installing on glass

    I checked their website, they dont sell rapid tac anymore I found another company that sells something called Hexis Easypose Application fluid. Have you tried or heard about it? In the description it says: Reduces tak for wet application on glass. I know it sounds right, but I bought something similar from a different brand once. And it didn't work at all. It did reduce the tack but took the vinyl up to 2 days for it to dry and stick so Im very sceptical

    Lets talk about pricing models.

    I dont work for free, I charge a price that I just randomly come up with, I just offer a lot of my services for free. I know other companies charges a lot for those services but they can afford losing some customers, I cant. I still haven't tried charging for those services though. Maybe I should but I dont want to scare them away.

    Lets talk about pricing models.

    I made my accounts with dummy mail addresses to avoid spam, then I lost my login info. This one was fortunately synced to iCloud. Im thinking its better to make a little money than to make 0. Thats why I do almost everything for free. For instance the last job I did, I designed the logo for free, installed the graphics for free, cleaned his windows and removed the old vinyl for free, charged nothing for delivery.. He asked me to make him 3 posters, I dont own a printer so I offered him to design the posters for free so he could print them out at a printshop. Im afraid they will turn my offer down completely if I charge anything like that Ill check your thread

    fastfood logo

    I know, I made it smaller at first, but then I thought, they are serving kebabs.. Who cares? It works better this way, maximum.... whats the word Im looking for? They are opening tomorrow, I joked about it and then they said they will give me a free meal if I work for free, they joked too but I cant see them giving me free food to be honest

    You are absolutely right, reputation means everything and I shouldnt risk ruining it to save money that is nothing next to what I could potentially make. I Wish!!. I wouldn't be able to install a small 10x10 even if my life depended on it.

    Having a real hard time installing on glass

    I have to pay 50 dollars incl shipping for right on. How long does it last though? Is it enough with 2-3 sprays on a.. lets say, 100x70 cm graphic?

    Having a real hard time installing on glass

    spot on (pun intended) Thanks I will definitely buy a couple bottles. Its almost 30 USD for 1L though How much do you guys pay for rapid tac?

    Having a real hard time installing on glass

    I was actually thinking about changing to 751, but they dont sell splash or rapid tac here, they sell something called right on. Pretty expensive stuff but I would gladly pay the money if it fixes my problem. Yes I am using paper application tape.

    Air release technology

    So Ive seen many different vinyl brands offering their vinyls with air release technology. Is it really worth paying the extra money for it?
