  1. What's the worst file you've been given to print?

    That is downright vile, and I’ve received a lot of Arkansas ‘artwork’ over the years too. But jeez man, that’s a whole ‘nother level of dysfunctional.
  2. Good vs Bad Production Design

    Here is an example of my install proofs provided with every job. Not only useful to the installer, but also for re-prints. All of my print files are seperated by panel, labeled with project name, Side, and numbered to be easily found in RIP software, without wasting time re-ripping or searching.
  3. looking for small sticker machine

    The BN-20A is a great choice if your budget is around 5-7k. But you may find that a 'print/cutter' combo will be just as much of a production bottleneck in the future. If they're being ran everyday, all day, and you have the budget, get a dedicated plotter and printer, more room to grow and...
  4. Thoughts on sharing vector wrap files...

    As a racer, I love a good deal on car parts. And for most racers, these are just 'car parts' to them. But as a designer, I like getting paid for my work while designing fun projects. So I get it, there's a fine line for sure. Everybody, racer or not, loves a good deal. So I try to give a 'good...
  5. Good vs Bad Production Design

    Client states the wrap is already designed, and only needs help with the hood graphics lining up. Asked if I was "good at Photoshop?" Here are some before and afters. Most of us here are skeptical when it comes to graphic designers who say they can provide 'print-ready files', and...

    Hello folks, I realize most of you owners are smart enough to hire a designer fresh out of college, and deal with the learning curve that comes with designing for a custom fab shop. However, if you're ever in a pickle, and need a decent wrap designer who can speak 'sign language', I'm now a...
  7. I have no wares to sell, just myself and a story

    Hello fellow shop owners and burnt-out employees, Around 8 years ago, I posted my 'portfolio' which was, even though, my own original artwork, was mostly fake logo design exercises. They were pretty terrible. At the time, I was making owners a ton of money running production and installing...
  8. Just saying hello and thank you with a little bit about me

    Actually went from AR to Chicago before here. Now there's an armpit. I grew up in the Delta, and coming from downtown Chicago, this quiet coastal Lake Michigan town and unlimited freshwater hasn't lost it's charm yet.
  9. Just saying hello and thank you with a little bit about me

    Welcome, just moved to Michigan myself.
  10. Not sure how to go about this................................ ??

    Bob doesn't write copy, but he'll write your business plan.
  11. Coroplast Suppliers

    Can vouch for Reece and GSG for Rogers. Being from AR, I've never heard it described as the midwest. I'd go with N.Glantz if you're farther north. I believe they run from Kansas City.
