Trying to Decide if Renting is for you?
arrow BACK TO THE IN-HOUSE SIGN SHOP
Trying to decide whether you should purchase your own system or rent an In-House Sign Shop from Visual Workplace, LLC? Many companies overlook the maintenance costs associated with owning their own system. We have calculated the costs to maintain a plotter over a three year period and encourage you to compare it to the cost of renting. This cost does not include your time and labor for the maintenance.

benefits of renting
arrow Visual Workplace is responsible for all of the maintenance costs of the plotter. If you factor in the cost of maintenance to the price of vinyl and supplies, it is almost double as compared to the cost factor of renting.
arrow Visual Workplace provides free technical support for both hardware and software. Otherwise you must contact each manufacturer individually for technical support. Hardware and software manufacturers are now charging $35.00 per technical support call.
arrow Visual Workplace includes an Idea Book with software templates that can be used and modified specifically to support Lean Manufacturing activities. Software templates include visuals for tool shadows, safety, kaizen, team building, production control and many others. Updates to the Idea Book are provided regularly.
arrow Visual Workplace offers thousands of clipart files. Simply contact us and we will email you just about any clipart that you need. This saves time searching and costly memberships to clipart web sites.
arrow Visual Workplace will provide software upgrades at no charge as they become available.
arrow Visual Workplace provides Online Software and Hardware Training. This training will also include how to make effective visuals for 5S, Kaizen, ISO9000/QS9000, and Visual Factory.
arrow All supplies can be purchased from a single source and ship the same day. You will not find this service anywhere else.
arrow If your plotter is not functioning properly, Visual Workplace will immediately send you a replacement at no charge. Owning your own plotter would require that the plotter be returned to the manufacturer for repair. This may take up to 15 days. A typical bench charge diagnosing the problem is $800.00. This does not include parts or labor.
arrow Visual Workplace is responsible for all personal property taxes, manufacturer service contracts, and capital equipment depreciation.
