Stick-Mission

Hi! thanks a lot for the advice, guys! I'll definitely check out that place in Portland you recommended. It would be really valuable to talk to someone and see these machines work. Do you have an operation in Portland, too? Any chance you and I could hang out and you could show me your set up? stick-mission.com

Looks rad! Newbie here looking to get an idea of what to charge for my own work. What did you charge for it? What equipment did you use to produce it? How much was the overhead?

For a job like that where you charge almost $1000, how much would you say you spent in terms of overhead to get the job done? Can you break that down? Thanks

What's the big difference between that Graphtec that's your "next purchase" and the Refine that you said "works excellent"? Personally, I'm just getting started and I want to get the most bang for my buck. What would you recommend? Thanks

Hi, I'm a newbie looking to buy a plotter to start a sign and sticker company, and also to do blueprints with CAD. I notice that there is a large price range for plotters. And I'm looking for some advice! (Anything!) Of course, I want one that is reliable, doesn't break down or crinkle paper. What do I need to consider for software? I know that plotters work from line art. Can I just use Macromedia Flash for that? (Will ANY line-art software interface?) In terms of business, what do you guys find makes the most money? How do you market yourselves? Who are your clients? What can I expect to make off of this investment? What about used equipment? There's a guy by my house selling some equipment. Can you please take a look at his ad and tell me your opinion? http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bar/1092221184.html Thank you for any advice you can give! I really appreciate it.
