  2. The very first "real" sign I made was:

    Wish i had some pictures of all the signs for safeway I made when i was in high school through about 2nd year of college. I still think that was one of the more fun jobs i had...coming in doing pretty much whatever i wanted throughout the store, all by hand, though i think my dexterity and...
  3. what would you do serious question

    i feel like technically you COULD keep it all, as others have stated that's what deposits are for but you have to judge that against risk of losing future work with customer. If he is literally going elsewhere for cheaper then screw him, not someone you'd wanna do business with long term anyway...
  4. The Printer on Tonight's Shark Tank….

    This. There is HUGE market for footwear and apparel customization. Nike was probably one of the first with Nike iD about 10-12 years ago, now it's a huge part of their business and many others have similar models, some offering even more levels of customization than simply color or...
  5. Experienced Graphic Designer, New to Sign Industry - Springfield, IL

    Welcome...Here's some advice from a fellow designer also recently diving in to the industry, though not worth much. -Learn your machines and establish custom profiles for every media. Never rely on stock profiles if you can help it. -practice setting up double sided banners with pole pockets...
  6. To Be.... or Not To Be...................

    Full wrap = yes. Bevels, effects, drop shadows = no.
  7. Look and feel of latex on fabrics

    we've had similar results with certain fabrics. Need to really dial in your profiles, but on certain materials it just won't go away...
  8. Need a logo designed

    Ok, gotta admit...that one is pretty funny.
  9. Lincoln themed layout

    Looks, great. My only comment is there are an awful light of line weights, highlights and shadows and it could possibly be simpler. Might also suggest the main corn leaf not be in front of the bottom foreground shape so there isn't as much tension where it interacts with that small type...
  10. Your Rides

    I just put one of those on order myself on Saturday! Same exact rig, same color except mine has color matched hood and fenders. It's gonna replace my BMW 135i as my DD which I love, just need something more practical. Also got an '88 Ford f150 to haul around my dirtbike...and a 96 Honda VFR.
  11. Some Wraps

    Yeah, the guys in the shop were laughing at the job name on the work order too..."dick pond wrap" Dick Pond is an athletic store. That particular wrap is for High School cross country runners and kinda followed along with an established look Nike was using elsewhere, thus all the mud and...
  12. Some Wraps

  14. Vertical banding on radial gradients

    We had a similar problem drove me nuts for months trying to alleviate it. FInaly realized it was our onyx rip. It doesn't do gradients well without banding. Switched to caldera and never had the same problem. Not sure if yours is the rip too but you could always try the same file in a different...

    We do lots of wrap designs, if interested pm me for portfolio and rate info. Would rather not post publicly...
  16. QS2000 vs. ???

    you'll get much better print quality on the 550 I bet, though the vutek may be faster. I'd get roll option,unless you have multiple roll printers already. Talk to a rep and provide sample files for prints on both machines, make sure you have them list print speeds/quality settings so you are...

  18. HELP hp fb700 curling edges causing problems

    Is your material coated 1 side or 2 sides or no sides? Did you try turning the lamps down? How humid is your environment? (Do you have high moisture materials?) Never had this problem with cardstock, but if we print wood that has moisture content of approx 8% of higher the lamps make it curl...
