Just a quick note - I cannot say enough good things about your estimate program. I have tried several other books, pricing programs etc. I won?t mention names. I can finally say with certain, when I quote a sign or banner job, that I will make a profit on it. When I price for my large format printer, and laminator, I?m where I need to be to make money. In the past I shot my foot off more times than I care to admit. Thanks again.
