  1. Fathers Day 2012

    Happy Fathers Day! If you're a dad or still have a dad, celebrate! I'm gonna post a link to a music video, because it's entirely appropriate. SUPERMAN SONG. In my case, I can point to my dad. But everyone (hopefully) has, or has had, a positive, strong influence in their life. This song...
  2. Simple question about tax id's

    Someone has to pay tax
  3. Screen To Print

    There are ink-mixers that work just like the ones in the paintstore. Nothing beats human inspection.
  4. How to tell who owns the rights to artwork?

    I'm NOT a real attorney... I just play one on the internet:) Question: Did the business (your new client) use that logo before their relationship with the first sign/print company? If yes, just have the (your new client) to affirm that in writing, and provide any documentation. If...
  5. Show up at an install to find...a camera crew!

    What kind of sign is that? The 1/2" bolts made me go hmmm. Parts look like vinyl... some look sandblasted. Noob question. It looked very nice. Congrats!
  6. how to do small lettering??

    My hero :) That's tight
  7. how to do small lettering??

    OMG! You guys are awesome with the experienced ideas (weeding from the substrate) Also, I was going to post that you need to replace your cutter strip, before you "dial in" a finesse job like that. Offspin thought: I'm going to cut my logo for a return address sticker for some job farming...
  8. Diaz sign art You do some awsome work

    Excellent! Your business is blessed to have that ability. You can easily find good workers and people who can hit/click buttons, and occasionally a competent printer... but, you can't replace a great graphic artist. Bravo!
  9. Is customer service really this bad?

    @royster - If I lived in BC, I'd want a winter vacation also:) Give me a shout if you make it to west TN next winter. @customer service - my "go to" vinyl place is AWESOME. Sometimes the bookkeepers or management snag a call during heavy volume, and they are almost or more as proficient as the...
  10. Happy Birthday Fred!

    Thank you for doing what you do, and Happy Birthday!
  11. Question about heat presses

    2 cents. When I was a kid, in the 70's my parents burned up ~5-6 machines applying transfers to T's and putting names on people's Gator Jerseys. In those days, they used an ADC machine and 8 very expensive die sets to cut names... one letter at a time. (We had a lemon colored press that lasted...
  12. Problem Quote

    Very much, sir. Thank you for noting my obvious derailment. I will try to recover tomorrow :)
  13. Problem Quote

    OK: I'm new to the sign business. My background is screen printing and CAD art for sport jersey lettering and trophy/awards decoration. All of my prior sign making knowledge is virtually worthless. Since being on this forum, I realize that I have done common mistakes, and really ignorant...
  14. Mounting 4x8 to block wall

    :thankyou: I'm virtually equidistant from Memphis and Nashville(tubelite one direction, grimco, api in the other), but Tubelite will deliver for CHEAP, since I am 500yds away from a $20M sign fabricator :) I was leaning towards max-metal, but I've never personally used anything like that. I...
  15. Mounting 4x8 to block wall

    OK. You talked me out of the opaque Acylite sheets that I won in auction. Notable objections -swelling/contraction -photo degradation (crap durability) What should I do with the Acrilyte (opaque white) sheets?
