With the mass amount of spammers registering and flooding the forums with posts, maybe the registration process needs to be changed. Require approval? Or something to stop these idiots.

Private matter. I believe Troy got it handled. Thank you for the response.

I really NEED to hear from him. Troy states he out of the shop and won't return his calls or messages either.

Been trying to get a hold of him since the middle of last week. No phone, email, facebook, or PM on here.

Did I sell myself short?
haulin replied to BrianMaruska's topic in Business Practices, Sales and Pricing, etc.
Look at it this way, $8-10 in materials and maybe 2.5 hours total time production and install. If you could so the exact same and work only 30 hours a week, you would make 134,000 in a year after material costs. Not bad for a one man show. -
Thankfully I don't currently drive a Chevy, and besides I use duct tape instead of vinyl

Cost wise, it's what maybe $8 worth of vinyl and mask? Maybe 3 hours of work. Sounds ok for a home hobby type business. -
It was the vinyl just saying get me off this Taurus

Bet your eyes were crossed by time you were done, nice job!

I have a wide format Epson desktop printer that I put a continues ink system on that I tried. It's the type of ink that they use that is the issue. The Epson uses pigment ink and while I have found vinyl to print on and the proper laminate if it get exposed to water it seeps in between and causes an issue. For indoor use it does work fine though.

Got my vote.

The cost of a printer makes "part time or hobbyist" tough. I tossed around the idea of a Roland BN-20 to do decals, stickers, small printed signs, etc but it's still a $9000 investment. After a bunch of homework and all the pro's and con's I just bought a Roland PC600. It may not be fast, it may not be the most cost effective method, but for the money it get's me started in the world of print. Plus I have a good local source to outsource larger printed jobs and they are very affordable.

34" sign from 24" vinyl? What's the best way to go about it.
haulin replied to arcticmonster's topic in General discussion
Either use tiling or if the text is less than 24" wide and you can break it up, rotate it and take advantage of the roll length.
