Sometimes when a customer calls for a quote I check other pricing on the internet.  I do this to see if I'm in the ballpark or in outer space.  I was checking around for color custom banners and was…Continue

I know not many here use Illustrator but I'll ask anyway.  I use ILLY to set up almost everything for the 540.  I found ILLY has a limit of 227 inches or almost 19 feet.  I was wondering if there was…Continue

Anyone know of a supplier Soffe style athletic shirts.  They are cotton shirts in at least 10 colors. We need to have youth and adult sizes and colors should match.  I have attached a picture of the…Continue

"I've had some on both sides of my truck for over six months and it still looks like new.  No laminate and I haven't tried to remove it.  I figure when the time comes I'll remove it and toss it, or at least part of it.…"

"Yes I come from a offset printing background and use CMYK for pretty much all my work.  Since I don't have one of those fancy new printers with more than CMYK ink I think my methods should work okay. Will CMYK have the wider color…"

"Personally, I work mainly in CMYK.  If I want a red I know 100% Mag. and 100% Yellow will give me a nice red in most instances and on most materials I use."

Ken Wagner replied to Ken Wagner's discussion How do they do that?
"Mut most people (our customers) see only the cheap price.  They see it as only a click away from their masterpiece banner.  Not considering the cost of shipping or tax or extras.  I guess I just needed to vent. "

"I get a ton of promotional emails from suppliers doing that, and usually in the fine print you find '$150 setup fee', or 'minimum 3 banners or 100 sq. feet', etc. I have had customers that called me for a quote on a banner, and…"

How do they do that?

Sometimes when a customer calls for a quote I check other pricing on the internet.  I do this to see if I'm in the ballpark or in outer space.  I was checking around for color custom banners and was appalled.  How can people charge $2 or less per square foot for 13oz banner in color with hems and grommets? Oh, did I forget, they promise 24 hour turn around.  And some offer further discounts if you "Like" them on Facebook. I may as well just sell my printer and outsource everything.  Anyone else…See More
