  1. When "your" customers get signage elsewhere

    Seriously, it all boils down to how busy ya are. If you have work coming out the whazoo, it shouldn't bother ya, cause ya win some, ya lose some. If you start losing more than one every coupla months, then, most likely, you're doing something wrong. Sometimes personnel changes, sometimes...
  2. Is an HP Latex Printer "Safe" in a Small, Unventilated Office Space?

    For those of you that simply open a window or a door...... isn't that the same as polluting the air ?? Now, becasue you don't like it and it seems to dissipate the odor, eventually enough of it is gonna hurt the environment ?? Isn't that the same thought pattern about hairspray bombs, cows...
  3. Should I do this site survey?

    Holy Water ?? Take several people with you and hope y'all are good at aiming your guns or wooden stakes. Yeah, get paid upfront and go have some fun.

  5. Salesperson from large company trying to steal clients?

    Just about any business out there from sign shops, to grocery stores, to department stores to restaurants have either a person or a whole crew, whose job is to do nothing but go in competitors stores and shop/price compare. Some are just sneakier than other. Once, I was on a job and the guy...
  6. 10 year guarantee clear laminate?

    Screen print them.
  7. Better looking sign

    Why not use a 10' piece in the middle, cut it properly and size accordingly ?? Nobody is ever gonna know you put it off-center to cover something up.
  8. Better looking sign

    Looks like ya got done, just before the last flower died. Off center because they wanted to cover the graffiti and couldn't afford anymore material. Good job.
  9. Bubbles with metallic vinyl

    Looks like bad squeegee technique. Why do you have stolen milk crates in your possession ??
  10. Font ID Help!

    Looks alot Like TFS bold with about a 20% added kern.
  11. Bubbles with metallic vinyl

    Buy a silver rattle can
  12. Is mobile sign service a good investment?

    They have insurance, don't they ?? Most places, it's mandatory commercial equipment & vehicles are decaled and with contractor numbers.
  13. Who is responsible for pulling a sign permit

    When you're a one-person shop, it becomes too cumbersome to do it all. Tell them you'll supply all the elevation spec photos they need, but you won't physically obtain the permits.
  14. Backlit, routed ACM

    Basically, you weld pins on the back side of the face and drill the holes out where the two come together. Preferably threaded pins so you can screw them fast. The push-thru looks the best. Haven't worked on one..... or furnished one with only tape on it. I've seen others with tape and the...
  15. Backlit, routed ACM

    That will end up being so flimsy, I doubt it will withstand much of anything in the elements. Not to mention the ugly edges. You might wanna check with U/L and see if it's even allowable.
  16. Does anyone know...............................................

    Thank you. I was in there earlier, but evidently, they have another one that looks very similar for setting up business cards and I saw no mention of fonts. This one did.
  17. Does anyone know...............................................

    What font Century 21 uses for all of their copy such as on business cards or magnetics ?? I've been looking and starting to think they might've made it up.
  18. Bleed?

    That's a tough one. They gave you the viewing and end size and only asked for a bleed. If it wasn't discussed, that's kinda your fault for not getting the proper size, but for them to figure you'd know to put 1.5" all around is kinda dumb. Normal bleeds are generally used like a gripper edge...

    Rhubarb will make your eyelids flutter. I like limes, too.
