  1. HDN(David), your to much!! Thank you!! all you guys/ladies! That's actually about where I was heading, towards the $6k Mark, but have never done political signs, didn't know if there was a unwritten discount rule, for making political signs. Another question, do any of you know where they sell maroon coroplast? I've looked high and low!! Can't find it? does anyone sell it? Thanks again for any help/suggestions/advice!!
  2. Hello, have never bid on a job this big before, would appreciate anyone's help!! 1. 4- 4'x8' double sided signs 2. 4- 4'x8' one sided signs 3. 4- 3'x5' double sided signs 4. 4- 3'x5' one sided signs 5. 24- yard signs (18'x24")- all double sided. -All the big signs are wood signs. All of these signs have a maroon/burgundy background with yellow lettering. They are political signs. I've done signs for a while, but I would appreciate any opinions/help! A few months back I did 3-4'x4' single sided wood signs @ 250.00 a piece. These had the 4"x4" posts with fancy end caps, so I'm kind of going off of this. but my quote is coming out way high. I think?? I'm going to attach a pic of the lettering. Like I said, any help is appreciated!!! Thank you, jus kind of lost on this one?
  3. So you think I should add a kind of cushion amount in there, say $25?? that should cover at least two hoodies, well depending on what type they are. I don't know?? like I said, jus kind of in the dark on this one. What would you charge for this?? 24 hoodies, they jus need the last names on the back, in white, probably gonna use FDC thermal advantage opaque white, which is about $2.71 a ft, here in Abq, NM.

  5. Awesome, yes, that makes sense, than you so much!! think I'll jus tell him $150 for all, seems fair, you think?
  6. Hey jaybird, thank you for your replying, jus when it seems I'm a lil more comfortable pricing my shirts/ jobs. I get these different kind of job bids, which is all good! Got to learn how to price it all, so how do you come up with that price, $6 per hoodie, right? Some kind of formula?
  7. Hello, Have to price a job for 24 hoodies, just have to put vinyl on backs of hoodies, 24 different last names. approx 2" x 10" per name. white! what do you guys think? appreciate any help!
  8. Hello, jus wondering if anyone knew how to, or if anyone already has SCALP installed onto a hp mini laptop? Was wanting to use the mini for craft shows or graphic outings! since it doesn't have a cd rom, is there a way to install by USB or ?? appreciate your help!

    Text to path

    Place your circle (path) onto screen, then go to the text type tool, to path. click on that. Then on your top menu, click on the path selection, then click reverse path. When you go back down to type on path it should come out the way you want it. You might have to tweak it a lil bit with the text tools, or change size a bit, but this is the way I learned to do it. It should come out ok, Hope this helps??
  10. As far as the prcing of the design they want though, is it safe to use this price formula? Thanks again!!
  11. Actually, didn't consider neither one of those issues, but you guys/girls are absolutely right! That's why I love this forum, AWESOME!!! Still new, learning continuously! Thank you!!
  12. Hello out there, So a potential shirt/apparel customer calls, says he has the Dri fit shirts/jackets. Says he just wants me to cut design, which they already have, on disc(one color), and heatpress it on to the shirts/jackets. Fairly new to heatpress pricing. Was thinking then of charging him like I charge for decals The Height+Width/2. Then adding half of that for install. Say a 8"X8" design would be $12.50 per shirt/jacket? This sounds high to me, since he does already have the apparel. Was thinking of using this formula, then jus dropping price down to $10.00, or even taking the install price off, just leaving it at $8??? Just don't know! Can someone please advise or direct me to the right price. I appreciate any responses. Take care!

    Cutting thru the image

    Hello, think this might help. I had the same exact problem, I think? Was putting in designs or fonts or whatever and the cutter would just make random cuts thru my vinyl or whatever I was cutting??? I called US Cutter support and, think his name was Kyle, helped me out. He said I didn't even have a driver installed onto my computer to run the program correctly?? If you call them they can log on, on their side, to get into your computer and fix this problem, anyway, it made a huge, huge difference. So far all cuts after that installation are flawless. Very happy with my SCAL and SC series cutter now. Hope this helps, Good Luck!!
