  1. ID font help thank you in advance!!!

    Pool Service is Futura Bold.
  2. Vinyl for a canoe

    Carbon/aramid = fiber. Resin is what is used to hold the fiber together. Fiberglass is a glass cloth/fibers in resin. This canoe is made in a similar way but using carbon and aramid fibers in a resin. Therefore fiberglass type, as I said.
  3. Vinyl for a canoe

    I take it that you are not a sign professional, but an end-user customer. The real answer to your question will depend on what you are trying to do with the decal, how large it is, and how the canoe is used, along with the material the canoe is made from. If the canoe is used on a river...
  4. Do you wear gloves while applying vinyl?

    We don't use the X-Acto brand handles. Ours have the tightening scre mechanism at the back end and there's a hex nut shape there. Excel brand I think. They don't roll.
  5. Do you wear gloves while applying vinyl?

    Use a pick for weeding, not an X-Acto. And you can cut things out with the Olfa, you just have to learn how to hold it (not like a pencil)
  6. Do you wear gloves while applying vinyl?

    Don't use X-Acto knives to apply vinyl. For most anything sign-related for that matter. Those #1 blades are murder on anything they bump into or fall on. Far too pointed. Use a retractable snap blade knife like an Olfa SVR-2. And if you're cutting the backing paper for application, use an Olfa...
  7. shipping issues

    Hmm, yes, I seem to recall a certain government official saying we needed to start doing that a while back, but as I recall he was called racist and xenophobic and small-minded for saying that.
  8. Weird request from a potential customer

    I thought it was a variety of Seagram's...
  9. Auto Pinstriping

    We use O'Reilly Automotive, which carries 3M and Prostripe brands. They only have a small amount in stock at the store, but almost always I can order what I want and they have it in a day.
  10. Dealing with cheap real estate agents

    They are getting banners now, aren't they?
  11. Dealing with cheap real estate agents

    Ask first how much they want to spend. If they give you a stupid answer trying to be coy or something, walk. You don't need realtors. They can buy their own stuff online for a fourth what you can make it for.
  12. 40 year old spec... what exactly is Royal Blue?

    Royal Blue is a deep purplish blue. I would bet in the past when they painted it, they'd have used Reflex Blue One Shot straight. The matching color in vinyl would, depending on brand, be Royal Blue or Sapphire Blue. If you're printing the analogue would be reflex blue.

  14. Need Help Vinyl Graphics on Tanker Truck

    I think I'm a little late getting back to this, but yes, as others have mentioned, you would squeegee in the center only at first until the center is stuck down in a circular area, then work your way outwards, going around the circle following the curve of the tanker. The goal is to keep...
  15. PLEASE HELP!!!! Cant install Epson printer on new install of ONYX 12 - No driver file available for ONYX 12

    the 5 at the end of the model name indicated a "half" version upgrade. They came a few years after the originals and offered different orange ink and a few other upgrades. Regardless, the prninst file necessary should be included with the Onyx 12 installation. The folder I have the file in was...
  16. Backlit media fast dry methods

    The better method to achieve good color vibrancy when backlit is to apply two prints to the plexiglass. The first print on clear vinyl, no laminate. The second on translucent white, with your UV protecting laminate. Then you can just print the way you normally do, without trying to increase ink...
  17. Need Help Vinyl Graphics on Tanker Truck

    I think I would do it with no application tape. I'd probably hinge it in the middle vertically, but at first only squeegee the center part. You can probably get about 3/4 of the T squeegeed down no problem. Do the left half the same way. then start working outwards radially, heating as you go...
  18. PLEASE HELP!!!! Cant install Epson printer on new install of ONYX 12 - No driver file available for ONYX 12

    I have the Epson 70600 Series Prninst file. We have a 70670, so I don't know if it will work for a 70675. It looks like Onyx isn't providing the downloads any more. However, according to this support page: https://www.onyxgfx.com/ja/devices/epson_surecolor_s70675_-_10_color/ the necessary...
  19. High School outdoor sign ?

    Look up church and school signs with vandal covers. Very common. Typically they will have a changeable letter sign behind the cover. For a track record sign, you'd typically design it so that the background of the sign contains the lettering for the various events, with track or other types of...
