Camel Chunk would be a kick arse band name.

Wow. Great site, thanks for sharing. My stock just went down quite a few notches, as it often does when finding good stuff like this. Sigh.

Right on, glad to do it....

I have been using newest versions of both suitcase and font explorer pro (on the mac side), not happy with either really. I haven't used suitcase too much as it's on my home laptop, but I'm hoping it's more reliable than font explorer pro. I can't seem to get a clean workflow for activating (and...

like so? You're close. This is rough as I had to use photoshop but I would try something like this....

Diggity.

I guess that's the problem with written conversations, sometimes tone is misinterpreted. For what it's worth, when I said "most people don't have an eye like a designer, nor do they care" it wasn't intended as a put down towards anyone in here, what I meant to imply is that the average Joe...

Hey Colorado, why you all up in my grill when all I did was offer a suggestion/comment? I noticed you edited your "have you done a wrap" to add all your credentials and degrees. Good for you, more power to ya! All I did was offer up a suggestion and comment... not even directed at you! I'm not...

Um Yeah, I think I know a bit about em.

I guess what I meant to say didn't come off as intended. I'm not saying you shouldn't make your customer happy or do what they insist, what I AM saying, is maybe you can slightly tweak the overall size or layout so a letter isn't TOTALLY obscured and accomplish both goals. There are many subtle...

Might just be me, but I could never let a wrap go like that no matter what the customer wanted. A letter totally obscured by moulding or hardware simply won't fly.

I agree it's a common discussion and rarely does anyone change their mind. I've been using macs since 1993 in design school. I started using Corel on a PC prior to that in a sign shop, and I'd have to say the difference between macs and PCs was far greater years ago. PCs have gotten a bit more...

Well, we finally ordered the equipment for our business. After much research and help from other 101 members, we settled on an HP LX800, FB 700 and Gerber M3000 cutter. Now I just gotta get our space ready, design website and cards, acquire tables, saws, computers, softwares, establish a...

Of any of you that has one of these machines, have you ever tried printing double sided banners? If so, were you successful and how did you do it? Using what materials? We are days away from buying one, and this is our only outstanding question yet to be resolved, any advice or feedback would be...

I recently used matte black 1080 for two wraps. If you have lots of curves in the vehicle you are wrapping, I guess it isn't ideal as it doesn't stretch particularly well. We did one wrap that was only the rear of the box truck and fairly flat, it was fine...but on the second vehicle wrap where...

Hey Hey Hey.....Slow down this train! SOME of us designers actually know to outline our fonts, convert any strokes to paths, and convert file colors to process, spot, etc as needed and all other file prep stuff! But, we are a rare bunch. ;)

GREAT info, thx rfulford.

Yup, thanks Isign! I have done quite a bit of research so know a few things to look out for, like how fast does the latex warm up, how easy is it to change rolls, etc. But I am sure research only goes so far! Thats a great tip on the cut scenario, will do that for sure.

So in about 5 days I fly to our local resellers' demo center to view the 3 machines we are planning to purchase for our new business - HP LX800, HP FB700, and a Gerber M3000 cutter. They have offered to run some different materials and sample files while we view the machines in action prior to...

Heh...thanks! I am trying to work on it, but keep getting sidetracked by paying work, and other "starting a business from scratch" issues. Sheesh!
