  4. Not a beginner in the sign industry. Would like to start a t shirt business.

    If you're looking at doing one off customs buy a cheap plotter and go to town. I seriously think every woman I've ever seen at a craft show or flea market making heat transfer shirts is using a USCutter plotter they bought off ebay (same goes for every guy making peeing Calvin and Salt Life...
  5. Discussion Can I use brand logos on my design without permission (please read)

    Still not legal. You're, at a minimum, getting the recognition as the guy who does graphics even if you won't do copyrighted logos for anyone else. That said, I'd do it anyway. I seriously doubt the Red Bull copyright police are going to come find you and beat you with a rubber hose.

  10. Graphtec FC8600 contour cuts longer than they should be

    I'm not following you. Are you talking about adjusting the roll length of the vinyl? It's already set about 20' longer than the job but I'll give anything a shot. The pic attached shows what I'm talking about.
  11. Graphtec FC8600 contour cuts longer than they should be

    We've developed a weird problem with out Graphtec FC8600 plotter. When we do contour cuts on decals the cuts are getting off slightly along the roll length but the roll height alignment is staying perfect. Our current job we're sending is for 10 rows of 3" circular decals. The first row is...
  12. SIGNS365.com - is destroying my reputation and costing me $$

    I think I'm at around 600 orders with them. I'm pretty sure I've had problems with only three of them that were the fault of Signs365 and they went above and beyond to fix them. Customer service has always been polite and easy to deal with. Every time I hear these "horror" stories about...
  13. Too fat for my step ladder?

    No big deal, just print a couple of these and cover the 300 pound labels on your ladder.
  14. Fun with Gemini and Architects

    Could have just thrown the studs out, held the letters up there and driven a 3" self tapping screw through the face of them and called it done. Ain't nobody got time for patterns.
  15. Car Wrapping

    There are hundreds of videos on youtube. Watch them. Get a roll of IJ180, print some, laminate it, and start installing it on your own vehicle. It's vinyl, when you screw it up, and you will, you can pull it back off. Just keep practicing at it until you figure it out. I did vinyl work for...

    Gino, you should spend some of that "$800" to get a sign shop to reletter that van.
  17. 5 Ft X 20ft Banners Installed On Plywood

    Not that big of a deal, your project manager just doesn't want to deal with it. When you build the sign screw 2x4 lumber onto the back side of the plywood flush with the edges all the way around. This gives you something to screw the banner into a whole lot easier. Finish your banner out at...
  18. What Is Youw Vinyl Removal Process

    Heat the vinyl with heat gun or torch. Pray that good vinyl was used and it peels right off. Discover someone used ShineRite on them and it won't come off. Cuss at the vinyl. Heat it some more. Start peeling little chips off. Get one strip long enough to grab. Pull it really hard. Rip...
  19. Whats Your Go To Font

    Currently: Tide Sans Tungsten Geoslab Museo Best design advice I ever got was to figure out what your ten "go to" fonts are and then delete them from your computer. It forces you to actually think about the font you're using and gets you away from turning out cookie cutter stuff.
  20. Bonding Polystyrene Sheets .040

    Because coro looks like crap and higher end realtors are trying to sell an image...and selling that image works. Plus a single sided sign with a wire stake is the preeminent hack job in the sign industry. Cheap isn't always the right answer. MEK brushed down the edges and quickly covered with...
