  3. Race Trailer Wrap. Give me your thoughts

    Lighten up. If you can't find the actual intelligent suggestion in the snide remarks around here you are doing it wrong. keep working with the design. You've got your basic elements together, you just need to work on the focus and flow of it. You say you haven't gotten the picture from them...
  4. Race Trailer Wrap. Give me your thoughts

    Whatever that white swirly stuff is in the background it's way too busy. Knock it back to about 50% opacity as a start.
  5. Flexi going out of business?

    I've always found that when I have that problem if I call the sales department somebody picks up immediately. They can usually get somebody in support to pick up pretty quickly.
  6. What Are You/Did You Buy On Sale Black Friday?

    Two 32" TCL Roku tvs to use as computer monitors at home for $125 each. Wish I had picked up a third. Got a Samsung Galaxy cell phone at Walmart for free. Lady scanned it, then scanned the bar code, then put it in my bag. Got home and I was looking at the receipt and it's on there but the...

  8. Handmade sign gone wrong

    If I just need somebody to cut my grass I'm going to automatically assume that guy is cheaper than the guy with the brand new trucks with full wraps on them.
  9. this is how we sell signs

    Come on....most smart people don't stop going through Montgomery, though. :thumb:
  10. this is how we sell signs

    No, because like I said we don't do it for everybody. If you call the office out of the blue and say you're looking for a van wrap and want me to send you some ideas its not going to happen. You can bring us a design deposit and we'll go to work. I'm not running around willy nilly doing...
  11. this is how we sell signs

    I swear Montgomery must be some kind of anomaly in the cosmos. In 25 years I can count on one hand how many times I've had someone "steal" my artwork and God knows I've emailed off thousands of layouts. It might take both hands to count the number of times I've done a full blown van layout and...
  12. Do you guys sell "blank substrates" to retail customers? Customer Rant...

    I used to get 10 calls a week from people wanting my scrap vinyl. Thought I'd be a nice guy and keep all the offcuts and such in a box for them. It took me all of two weeks of constantly hearing "Well what colors do you have in the box?" or "Can you cut them all into 8x10 pieces for me?" or...

    Anything close?
  14. Roll up / slat door vinyl install tips

    30 slats per door. If you're off 1/64" by the time you get to the bottom slat you're screwed. If the doors have a little wear on them you're screwed. If the metal has expanded or contracted just a hair because of heat you're screwed. If you're plotter pinch rollers have a little uneven wear...
  15. Did I get bad vinyl, or did the customer install this wrong?

    Only lifted on one side because whoever put them up used a ratchet and stood on the side of the side to do it. Ratchet in their right hand spins the bolt when doing one side of the sign, the nut when doing the other side. It's all the customer's fault. Back out the bolts on the damaged side...
  16. Banner tape

    I must be the luckiest person on the planet because I routinely have 13 oz banners last three years outdoors. I'd hem them with Oracal banner hem tape, three grommets top and bottom and send them on their way without a second thought. If you're really worried about it hem the edges with...
  17. Mesh construction banner time and installation costs.

    Two guys, an hour max. What others said about using good zip ties. Also, I like to use one of the heavy duty 1/4" thick ties in every 8'-10' just in case something happens.
  18. Illegible engraved script font id?

    Ahhhh....the days of projecting individual letters from the Letraset catalog and tracing them onto signs.

    Thanks Fred. And shame on you for knowing that.
  20. Business cards

    I got so used to people saying "But I can get 500 from Vistaprint for only $10" that I quit telling customers I do business cards.
