Took on a 12' x 20' wall mural to advertise the summer movie series for our local Parks and Rec. I did the design trying to keep things looking "period" with the photo, kept the colors simple and fonts easy to read. We had a lot of fun with this project, and had lots of rubber-neckers while we...

I'm so sorry for your loss, and I know it hurts. I lost my 7 year old springer spaniel/best friend/hunting buddy to cancer last Spring... Broke me up so bad I haven't yet got the nerve to get another. All dogs are special and unique, but I think you're only lucky enough to have 1 or 2 in your...

Oh boy, well I tried to ask this same question a few months ago when I got my truck and instead of getting rates and understanding why people charged what they do it took off on a different tangent...but I digress. Anyway, the few decent responses I got was that rates were all right around...

And this folks, is why I'll never buy another brand of cutter than Summa. :rock-n-roll:

Selling my first printer, Mutoh 1204 with takeup. I bought this as a repo from Rayco Sign Supply in Chicago, who included the RIP software you see here (Flexi SE and an upgrade for Flexi 8.5 with dongle). *NOTE - I don't know anything about this software, if it has been registered, not...

Thanks Mike, I was trying to ballpark it at just under 200 s.f., but was trying to be sure...

You da' man Fred - thanks!

Anyone know what the approx square footage on a 2004 Porsche 911? Customer wants a full flat black, less mirrors and spoiler. Trying to figure out a price for this without having access to the car - which is out of state right now... *Also, if anybody has done a color change on a 911 I would...

Can't figure this one out - Seems a little like Bauhaus, Mink, etc. but not quite - especially regarding the "a" and "e"..

Lol, don't put too much faith in my ideas Mark...:wink: :Big Laugh

The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber is a great book to read for small business owners. Not specifically for the sign industry, not everything there is directly applicable to most sign shops, but really gives you a good insight to running a business and things you must do to be successful...

Yup, ditto on all above. Love the Instant media, we use the matte and it prints and installs great. I would love to order more from Bigfish, but as others have said shipping is the deal breaker when you leave out East.

Wow, all those new features look really nice. I've been leery of latex as well, might have to reconsider...

This. As Bly mentioned, the texture is what causes me concern... However, as long as you're using the media feed wheels and everything is lined up straight I trust that the Summa will cut it right. I would advise to slow your speed down so that it isn't whipping the vinyl through the rollers...

Curious to know about the first version you did, was it painted, vinyl or a mix of both?

I appreciate the responses so far. *Squeegee - I tried to message you but your inbox is totally full... In short, I just don't want to do something half assed, or risk messing up because this will be at the main intersection in town and will be seen by hundreds of people every day. Also, I...

Have a project where I need to wrap a mural on a brick wall of a Pizza shop downtown. Not quite sure on the final size - but will probably be a couple hundred square feet. Anyway, the particulars are; - the wrap is only permitted for 90 days - but I don't want to risk using junk and have to...

Yes, typically you will get some cross contamination anytime you have anything in contact with the nozzles on the head. The longer it sits, the more it works back up into your lines. What I would suggest is to use a small piece of coffee filter and soak it with cleaning solution. Place it on...

I can honestly say, YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary...but I would also like to know "how fast" are these prints fading. For a test I made a 4x8 billboard sign using Oracal 3651 NO LAMINATE and regular Mutoh eco-sol ink - which is basically identical to Roland eco-sol. I just took down the...

I think most would agree you are in the "right". However you have a squeaky wheel that needs greased... Your proposal of replacing just the red portions as overlays would probably be the best IMHO. This way he gets what he wants, won't smear your reputation and you get to hold your head high...
