    Favorite "professional" graphic design idiot stories?

    It's always funny when a "designer" moves/deletes the door handle or resizes a window on the template to make more room for the logo.

  2. New to the site , Need FB700/FB750 Oil Recommendations

    To lubricate the rails I've just used like a 3inOne oil, put a few drops on a cloth and wipe the rails with it.

  3. Custom vehicle emblem for trade only?

    I have used this company for license plates and frames, looks like they do emblems as well https://www.licenseplatesandframes.com/products/emblems-and-decals/

  4. Discussion What specific systems or strategies does your company employ to enhance productivity?

    I've started using ShopVox and it's been a big help with making estimates, tracking jobs, collecting payments. Signtracker is another good one to check out. I first started with Trello and Invoice Ninja to stay organized.

  5. Measurement App

    I use an app called ImageMeter Pro. It's decent for calculating measurements based on a couple of known measurements. I mainly use it to draw my on measurements onto a photo.

  6. 3m controltac choices

    I've used the IJ180c for years but I'm curious about some the newer 3m vinyls. Can someone give me a comparison of the ij180, ij280, and ij175. The spec sheet for each one reads about the same, which one would be the best choice for a food trailer with rivets?

  7. Photoshop Beta / Generative Fill

    I know that the content aware fill in photoshop has gotten really good in the last few updates, but looks like this takes to a whole new level.

  8. looking for advice, new printer

    I have the Cjv150 and it has been great. I was hesitant about getting a printer/cutter combo but I just don't have the space for two machines. I recently did a few 16ft long print and cut jobs without any misalignment. Using the largest size crop marks seamed to really help. Now if I can...

  9. Any templates out there for vehicle graphics (to fit in the recess)

    Maybe try using knifeless tape to cut it out on the vehicle, I have yet to find a template accurate enough to precut it.

  10. Can I laminate Oracal Rapid Air with 3M Lustre?

    If it's a cast lam I have mixed brands before on flat surfaces and it has worked fine. I wouldn't chance it if its being installed on compound curves that require stretching or shrinking the vinyl since different brands stretch and shrink at different rates.

  11. Any Humans that actually work on Summa plotters in the United States

    try contacting https://www.airmark.com/ they are a summa dealer and offer tech support

  12. Third Party Aftermarket Inks for Mimaki JFX / LUS-150

    Years ago I had a bad experience using aftermarket inks in a Mimaki and never wanted to take a chance on them again. Last year I bought a refurbished Mimaki that came with Marabu ss21 inks and they have been working great.

  13. Static on pallets of Palram Palight 3mm PVC

    I've taken the copper garland, grounded one end to a piece of grounded equipment and wrap the other end around my wrist to ground myself.

  14. Needing suggestions for repurposing a flex face

    if it's going indoors could you build some kind of frame out of wood that would be cheap and lightweight. I'm thinking something like a stretched canvas with a cleat to mount it on the wall. Brick molding makes for good canvas stretcher bars.

  15. Tired of incompetence...................................................................

    I just had another customer ask if print in RGB ink
