Hi, Yall,(I should really change that picture, I lost 50 lbs since then ) It's been quite a while since I last posted. Been busy makin that home based business of mine, a full time pleasure.
I bought a Roland gx-300 (plotter) last week to save time and money for paint masks and occasionnal lettering on my wooden signs. When I picked-up the plotter, I brought some paint-mask rolls but I was attracted by signgold, carbon fiber finishes, brushed aluminum... the good looking stuff.But the word ran fast and I'm now getting calls for vinyl jobs. How do I price these high-end vinyls ??? I charge 60$/hour for designing but I don't know how to price the media.
Thanks in advance !!

Much the same way you would price low end vinyl. A good formula for retail work is to charge 3X your cost. You, however, may want to look at a larger multiplier because of the added value in a better grade product.
