    Should I go to this market?

    in Business Side of Things

    Posted

    That is a great idea to offer to hold the purchases until they leave! :) How do you keep track of everything? Just write their name on it or something?

    Maybe get a receipt book that lets you have carbon copies and staple a copy of their receipt onto their bag - whoever shows you the original receipt that matches gets the bag

    Laser Printers

    in Business Side of Things

    Posted

    Lots of things to think about with laser printers. Im a hp fan, you can check out my ebay and see i have bought 3 in the past 6 weeks. I love the hp 4550 models.(I put a 10gig hard drive in the back of it and dont even need a computer to print out my labels now.. it stores them all) I picked up a hp 8500 and its ok, but way way too big (300# machine). The only one I bought new was a hp4600N that is faster then the others because each color has its own drum. The others share a drum and it has to take the colors off the transfer belt one at a time. (4 passes instead of one)

    The higher the copies per month they are rated, the more toner you will get and the better longer drum, transfer and fuser life.

    The thing about the 4600 that I just got, it was like 525.00 new with everything. If I went to buy replacement toners it would cost me about the same amount that it did for the whole thing new. I really think the best way to do it is to buy new and sell it on ebay when the toners run low and just get another newer model. You can refill them, but have to replace drum memory chips so it gets costly even refilling. If you can get 8000 copies from a set of toners, that should last you for a few years, but some machines only do 1500 on a set of toner. Check the amount of copies the toner carts are rated at before you buy and how much the replacement ones cost.

    confused yet?

    no not confused at all here - that is very interesting

    thanks bruce

    floating candles

    in General Candle Making Discussions

    Posted

    Every time I put floating candles in a pool, within a few minutes they all float over to one side even with the pump turned off. :(

    Had an idea when i read this -

    Get some eye hooks or even cheap cup hooks from the hardware section of WalMart and screw them into the bottom of the candle

    Use clear fishing line and tie it thru the hook or onto the cuphook and tie the other end anything you can comeup with that is heavy enough to be a weight yet waterproof

    Don't tie it too short or it of course would pull the candle under lol

    I would tie it a little long and giive it room to drift and let it move a bit

    I Need Some HELP Choosing...Need Ideas!!! :)

    See - I told you I loved it down there! LOL

    Got so excited just think about it that I typed before I even finished reading LOL

    Have been going down to N.O. all my life (We lived there till I was 5 and all my life we would go down for at least a week and visit friends - When I was old enough to stop going down with my parents I was old enough to go down with friends and REALLY have a good time lol)

    How should I fly back east with candles?

    in General Candle Making Discussions

    Posted

    A startling number of pets die in cargo holds every year because no one bothered to notify the pilot there was an animal down there. If they don't know, they won't diligently monitor the temperatures, so you should always ask a cabin steward to tell them.

    I just recently read an article in the paper about this and was really surprised!

    I couldn't remember the exact figure though so I googled a bit and came up with a site with a lot of info - After reading here I remembered this exact line being in the article I read

    "Every year, about 20,000 pets are lost, hurt or killed traveling on planes."

    And now to get back to the orginal thread - (Sorry about highjacking it)

    Been so long since I have flown I can't help as far as carrying them but I think since they were gifts I would have boxed them just as if you had sold them to someone and shipped them to myself at wherever you were going to be staying

    2006 Conferences

    in Business Side of Things

    Posted

    OK - am sooooo jealous that I can't swing any of the conferences or get-togethers this year

    BUT - just as soon as anyone hears of any definate dates for NEXT year please let me know so I can begin planning (and saving!) for them?

    I am looking to go to at least two next year - Right now am thinking of the Texas conference since it is close enough to me to drive over and at least one other that I will probably fly in for - I just have to see the dates and kinda plan for them in advance - Getting a few days off work here and there is no problem (except on my paycheck lol) as long as I know about it a month or so in advance so as to let them know not to put me on the next month's schedule for those dates

    TIA

    A couple questions

    in General Candle Making Discussions

    Posted

    Had a couple of hours drive both coming and going on my recent little trip and had to keep what everyone laughingly refers to as my mind occupied so naturally I thought quite a bit about candles - came up with a couple of things I wanted to ask -

    First on UV Inhibitor - When you pour candles for testing purposes do you have to add UV also or can you leave it out to save a bit of $ and just add it after all testing is done? I have never read anywhere where it affects anything except fading. And do you add UV to your jar candles?

    And next - What would you say "Shelf Life" is on candles before they are burned? - I know they can fade even using UV but down the road do you start losing fragrance or have any other changes?
