  1. Enclosed Trailer Job Pricing

    Well it looks like it could be a non-profit company...in which case...in my experience, they would want it for free if they are so gracious to let us put our logo in the lower corner somewhere. lol jk I know when the conversation on the phone starts with "Hi, we're a non-profit organization..."...
  2. Chevy Tailgate Wrap Pricing

    $500 for a tailgate wrap, And from what I understand based on your questions about material...you are essentially practicing (cutting your teeth) on this customers tailgate? Call me a jerk but, wow..."you gotta lotta nerve." Usually guys do $500 in damage to paint jobs with a razor on their...
  3. Flatbed Print limits?

    Well there you have it folks. It wasn't a problem with my file type or artwork. And considering the other thread on that particular producer and my experience with them, It may be wise not to use them if I expect anything other than a very fast turn around. Yes they are just yard signs. No I...
  4. Flatbed Print limits?

    Frankly I think it looks just fine having a solid black background. I just don't know if my customer will care or not. This is for future reference so that I know what I can and can't send to them for yard sign graphics.
  5. Flatbed Print limits?

    For the record...I never said it was signs365. ;) I know about file sharing and element drop out etc. I'm not saying the file was manipulated on their end. In fact all you have to do is lower the brightness and raise the contrast on that very jpg and you will see the exact same thing. Could...
  6. Flatbed Print limits?

    Ok so is it perhaps a setting on their end and not a tolerance issue with UV Flatbed printing to coro?
  7. Flatbed Print limits?

    This isn't about layout or digital proofing. It's about what the printer got as a jpg and what they printed. Yes the background is dark but it's not black and you can distinguish between it and the black outlined text in the jpg. So are you saying that the printer cannot distinguish between...
  8. Flatbed Print limits?

    I uploaded a JPG to a printer wholesaler (they do signs every day of the year) for direct uv flatbed print to coro yardsigns. What I got back was slightly different than what I sent. The lighter details in the background completely dropped out to solid black and the outline around the text...
  9. Wrap Pricing Getting Ridiculously Low Pricing in Canada

    "...and keep the pricing as they should be, same as quality, would be awesome to do that everywhere." LOL I'd like to know what the price should be everywhere please. (what is it based on?) Seriously though...can you answer that? • Printers are more affordable and prevalent now. •...
  10. Cannot find 36" Adhesive back vinyl?

    Don't see it available in 36" on their site. I'd also like to specify: United States supplier.
  11. Cannot find 36" Adhesive back vinyl?

    All answered above.
  12. Critique my website

    Additional "critique" "My target market is not other Graphic Designers, it's Joe Schmoes White Van New Business." So...Joe Schmoes don't care about design? (lame) Also, your site is very "square" feeling. (boring) You should put time into making "buttons" for customers to click rather than...
  13. Cannot find 36" Adhesive back vinyl?

    Grimco also carries the 3M wrap in 36" but these are for stupid trade show display panels. 29.25" wide. I'd like to get calendered if I can.
  14. Cannot find 36" Adhesive back vinyl?

    I've looked through some suppliers and can find 36" laminate but no 36" vinyl. WHY? 30" isn't wide enough but 48" is too much waste. LAM: 30", 36", 48", 50", 54", 60" Vinyl: 30", 48, 54", 60 Where's the 36" vinyl out there? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
  15. Water Transfer Printing - So Cool!

    "Hydro Dipping" has been around for awhile and not only are there no affordable custom film options but the trial and error phase takes some time from what I've heard. Once you have it down...you don't have much competition in the business and can charge a lot. Like a guy that wants his freakin...
  16. New shop Insurance

    More than likely you need to tell them you're not using a bunch of chemicals (screen printing, painting, etc) that adds another category to your quote. However, they are going to basically add a "garage keepers" type of item to the quote if you are insuring peoples vehicles while they are in...
  17. Critique my website

    Boring. Simple, which isn't bad...but boring. Not trying to be mean.
  18. Why I hate outsourcing

    Had the same issue with the same supplier in the past. Was not a rush. Usually the customer is ok with anomalies on just "yard signs". But they were larger political signs with his face on them. The greenish banding that was on a couple of them wouldn't have been too bad if they didn't run right...
  19. Wait.....WHAT??????

    I've been through 5 banner manufacturers including KEY, Ultraflex, Peak and others. Of all of them, Zeelon is the only 13 oz. I've used consistently now for some time that has had no issues with lines or anomalies etc. Price is hard to beat too. Part is because of the Higher Denier count. From...

    Which would not solve the issue discussed about corny looking "repeating patterns".
