  1. Thankfully it's not ours...

    And this is why I don't do any kind of signage that is over my head...I'm not smarter than an engineer.
  2. Good place to order printed flex faces?

    I'm jumping on this thread. I just got a price for a pan face of $315.00 from Sized at 24"x96". How much do I upcharge for this? I'm not sure if it includes freight, I just emailed them back. Regardless, do I double the cost of the face and add freight? Then add the lettering I will do at the...
  3. The next generation of adobe users now work among us

    I work with a company that is based in France. This is what they send me...I never heard of RAL colors in my life so I matched it up to the oracal color 75 that doesn't exist in my swatch book.
  4. Question Which material would be best for a work trailer set of decals?

    Since this is your first customer, I would go through all the motions of measuring, etc. If you lose the bid, you gain the experience for next time. It's good practice. Once you have all the measurements you can calculate exactly how much vinyl and masking you will use. I buy 24" vinyl so I...
  5. Question Which material would be best for a work trailer set of decals?

    You can approach it with the estimate for exactly what he wants (Gino is close with that estimate, I would be a little less but I'm rural WI) and with less copy it's XXX - see what is more important, the money or the extra copy. Often price will dictate the amount of copy. I have customers that...
  6. Question Which material would be best for a work trailer set of decals?

    Clever logo with the arrow and the sunken slab LOL It looks smooth paneled but dirty to me. At any rate... If you're going with individual graphics, I would use Oracal 751 and if they don't have the colors in stock then 3M then Avery. You're design is not going to fit the trailer. You or the...
  7. Question Which material would be best for a work trailer set of decals?

    What does the trailer look like? Are there screws or rivets? Reflective sucks, avoid it if you can. For regular cut graphics I use Oracal 751. You can use 3M or Avery but many on this forum prefer Oracal. For print what Whitehaus said or I use Arlon SLX. For the reflective...if it's printed I...
  8. How many of you could leave your shop behind for at least a month and not have any issues?

    I do have to agree with this...it's a great point.
  9. I need help with wrap design

    Well, to be honest, this guy has used the blue rectangle with white block letters and everyone in the area knows him simply by the blue rectangle on his trucks. Blue rectangle on all his apparel, etc. He is the only landscaper that doesn't have green. I think it's a smart move - he stands out...
  10. I need help with wrap design

    Ha Ha! I knew you would recognize him! He's actually one of the top landscapers in the area and has several vehicles, trailers, etc. He has ADHD and changes his mind every year.
  11. I need help with wrap design

    I'm not looking for anything free. This is a design that will be on quite a few vehicles so he is willing to pay for a good design.
  12. You can't make this stuff up.

    I don't even know how to respond...that's insane!
  13. Eclipse watching

    I watched with my eclipse glasses, I thought it was very cool!!! It didn't get dark here but "less light" and almost hazy looking.
  14. Eclipse watching

    I bought some glasses for it so I will probably watch it. I saw it a few years ago and it wasn't that cool but I think it was cloudy. On a side note, my friend gave all his employees off today because he thinks we are going to have an EMP.
  15. I need help with wrap design

    I have a client who wants a partial wrap. I am just not a graphic artist. I sent this to people on Fivver and they would not touch it. I can't find clipart, I can't hand draw. Client is willing to pay, I just need to find someone to do this. 1. Must include logo on door 2. Very little if any...

    Ebay? I had a dongle from years back but I don't know if I kept it. I can look
  17. Helping Teacher, Cub Scout Leader, with WinXP Roland ColorCAMM (Pro) PC-600

    I helped out a person like this once and she went and stole work from me and the other shirt lady in town. The school finally put the kabash on her because she couldn't get orders out on time, and they would call myself or the other lady last minute and we started saying no - not helping you...
  18. Can I get some assistance from experienced people?

    If you want to be a wrapper, I would strongly suggest watching some videos or take a week-long course. It's certainly NOT as easy as it looks. I've been doing partial wraps for a couple years and without proper training I am doubtful I'll ever get any further than "partial" wrapper. I use Arlon...
  19. Laminating Bubble Issue

    No - you cannot fit that on the laminator. My printer is 54" so I print no larger than 49ish" and then trim one side down. If you have to contour cut then you have to cut close to the registration squares. the wood pole is to hold up the laminate after I roll it up. It's a bit redneck but it...
