Contact Parker Davis @ sales@parkerdavis.com They've got 2x10-20" wire sign holders. They'll tell you where you can get them.

We've never had a problem with Magnum's magnetic for digital printing, which we either apply cut vinyl on or 3M's IJ180 with 8518 laminate. We tried the IJ35 with 8509 laminate, but I noticed after a year or so the edges tended to curl up slightly. We always radius corners. I am interested in...

Check the thickness of the aluminum on ACM. House brands use thin stuff--it works, but it's not nearly as strong as the thicker aluminum faces (if that's important to you).

I have seen this before on an older vehicle. Body shop guy told me certain wavelengths of light can reach the paint through the vinyl--different color vinyls might have a different effect. Seems reasonable but I can't be sure he wasn't blowing smoke. He said he was pretty aggressive with a...

Contact a local engraving shop. They may have the material available.

No, but I have printed 20 feet of vinyl before I remembered I had talked them into getting banners. That's why I wear diapers.

Best information I've gotten! Thanks! I'm sending this to my insurance agent and IMT Insurance. I'm taking my salary off coverage, even though having a stroke or heart attack at work would qualify me for WC. Sitting a lot doing graphics design all day should also qualify me for hemorrhoid...

Interesting--I have found that barrel-aged imperial beers tend to increase my appreciation of poorly-executed signs.

We are a sub-S corp, and in Iowa we have to have workers' comp if we have any employees. Owner can be covered or not. My agent (who definitely fights for me) said I would be covered (as any other employees) if I had a heart attack, stroke or an injury. I'm 67, and the way things are going I...

Wow, thanks for all the interesting info. As I understand it, the SIC codes are not really used much anymore. Insurance companies use NCCI (National Council on Compensation Insurance) codes, and the code for a vinyl (cut/print) shop is 9501. It includes driving and paint (of course we drive...

We are a "commercial" sign shop vs full-service. We print & cut vinyl, letter and do partial wraps on vehicles, real estate/site signs (no installation), magnetics, banners, window lettering, etc. No bucket trucks, no electric (we'll reletter a plastic face if they bring it in, but we don't...

"The Evangelical Church" logo I originally asked about is an actual logo for one "denomination". I wasn't designing it. A church that uses it did not have a vector copy (and only an image that looked good printed small). They've never had the logo produced from vinyl or printed large format...

We don't apply any wall graphics unless we (or they) have applied Gardz first. Everything seems to stick fine to it, and if the graphics have to be removed in the future there's usually no damage done to the wall.

TimToad generously ran it through VectorMagic and sent it. I did very little clean up so I could cut it out of vinyl. I'm considering purchasing the software per his recommendation--I was very surprised how well the text turned out. I contacted a church that uses the logo, but since my client...

THANKS! I'm going to have to check out VectorMagic. I never liked autotrace much--seems like I always had to do a lot of cleaning.

Apparently no one has this as a vector. It is a logo used by some evangelical churches. I contacted one but haven't heard back. I didn't see it on Brands. I have to agree with myront. We all have dealt with the client who says "just get it off our website". I'll probably have to create the...

I was trying to avoid scanning-to-vector. I'm giving them the banner at a great price (they're friends) and I didn't want to spend the time.

Does anyone have a vector version of this logo? Prefer a pdf or Illustrator CS6 or earlier file. Church only has a jpg file, and it looks awful when enlarged for a banner. Thanks in advance!

Reminds me of an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. His mom tried her hand at sculpture and came up with a 6' tall vagina. Everyone saw it but her.
