  1. 2-color cut vinyl on one premask for customer install?

    I'd send them both pieces masked with reg. marks and a sample bottle of Rapid Tac. My experience with pre-stacking two colors for later install is a lot of air bubbles. Love....Jill
  2. Discovered an antique Electro Pounce Machine in our supply closet

    There are a couple different pages on Facebook which feature hand-lettering, you could maybe try selling it there. Love....Jill (I guess I am also an antique)
  3. First Signs

    They are better than the first signs I painted in 1980 for sure. Here are some tips: • Never use such strong shadows...try a nice grey or ivory for a white background • Try not to use plastic cups...I always use unwaxed paper cups • Ronan lettering enamel outlasts 1 Shot but I love me some...
  4. Mortgage Lending Logo

    The first one seems more professional looking to me, but I am not digging the icon. Maybe just a column with no initials in it? The second one would be OK with a different color ribbon, something in blue or green.
  5. Business cards

    I like Rick's idea about the different types of cards. You could have a baby one, a wedding one, high school senior one etc. to place at various venues or shows. The new card front looks washed out and weak to me. I would highlight PHOTOGRAPHY rather than your last name in the logo. I'd...
  6. Company Name Poll

    The name is misleading. In looking at your website, I see some errors on apostrophe use as well as potential copyright infringement (Pens logo) and also a few design faux pas. Might be time for a total refab. Love....Jill
  7. Business cards

    Top, with the info (tagline about the types of photos) from the bottom. The way this is listed on the bottom version is confusing. If you could make a hybrid combo of the bottom version and use it as the back, that would be good. Love....Jill
  8. Mortgage Lending Logo

    Most of the points I'd mention have been taken. I don't like the two tone name and the stone reminds me of a pocket rocket. But I do like the good solid feel of the typography. Can it stand alone without an icon? Maybe throw in some rule lines? Love....Jill
  9. Rant: how little others care about appearance

    I am to the point of being ready to have a nervous breakdown. I wish I didn't care about the appearance of what I produce. I hate having to tiptoe around a bad design someone brings me to reproduce. I drive down the street here and I see signs that are so ugly that they actually hurt my...
  10. Best transfer tape for oracal 651 vinyl

    ...nice. He was doing the right thing. The only time I use clear app tape is for SignGold.
  11. outstanding invoices

    After 30 years, I finally grew a set. Cash up front if under $100. 50% deposit on anything else. You can call and email but some people just don't care. Try to take care of the problem before it arises. Nothing should leave your shop without your getting paid. Love....Jill
  12. Charging too much?

    I have pretty much stopped doing cut vynull for this very reason. There are so many hacks with plotters that it just isn't profitable. I also don't really enjoy doing it. I have had a shop rate of $75 per hour for about the past 15 years or so. Vynull costs me more to produce and takes a...
  13. How to create FP Watermark?

    Nope...PNG I can do. I have just never heard of what it is that I am supposed to make. (FP thingy) :omg: (trading for a newborn pix package for my 2nd grandchild due in April) :thankyou:
  14. How to create FP Watermark?

    Aha! Thanks guys. That sounds almost too easy! :smile: (I don't know what the hell it means) :ROFLMAO:
  15. How to create FP Watermark?

    I am on Corel X5. Designing another logo for a relative who is a photographer. They need an FP watermark, I had to Google it. I think this person does have Photoshop. Was thinking to just create a transparency type file, but when I've done this in the past (to ship out to a wholesale printer)...
  16. removal of mylar decals....pure hell

    Like an idiot, I put mylar on my old Silverado. It was such a monumental PITA to remove! I ended up (after picking off the mylar in tiny shreds) having to use turpentine as an aid. That took the clear coat off of my truck! The 3M stuff sucks out loud, Goo Gone did nothing, and I think I was...
  17. Out with the old . . . in with the new

    Vast improvement. :thumb: Love....Jill PS I think the "Call" gives it a friendly approachable look.
  18. Has anyone ever seen this happen to paint?

    I was always taught to do several mist coats in an overlapping alternating pattern. As others have said, too much paint not enough drying time. Love....Jill
  19. Sign Gold Pricing...

    The SignGold kit used to come with a price list. I'd base it off of that. Or try materials X3. "The Real Stuff" would be actual gilding, in my opinion, which is in and of itself an art form. Love....Jill
  20. Bold Techno font... what is it?

    Best. Font name. Ever. :rock-n-roll: Love....Jill
