  1. Should i buy Mutoh Falcon Outdoor or Not

    i disagree with it being a total piece of crap... i have one (the 46") and so do (or did) a lot of others on this board, and it can make you some money. its not the fastest but neither were the earlier versacamms (we had one of the earlier ones) and the print quality is the same as the versa...
  2. My new site built on Wordpress

    i like it .. nice clean and pro looking.
  3. Should i buy Mutoh Falcon Outdoor or Not

    38" you are gonna wish you went bigger... the falcons printer OK but are kind of slow. i have the 46"... i'm hoping to move up to at least the VJ1204 48" someday. and $3500 sounds a little steep.. it better be in perfect working order.
  4. Where to buy best Felt Squeegee

    yep that geek wrap squeegee is costly , but it is good.. i reach for it first all the time.
  5. Missing profile message in Photoshop?

    i assume most files are supplied to me as sRGB ... i use adode 1998. so you can't assign the adobe1998 profile to an sRGB image without messing up the color. always honor the embedded profile , open in PS and then convert to your working space. if there is no embedded profile and it is...
  6. Promo shop vehicle

    its not my style.. (I'M AN OLD DUDE) ... did you do the fiberglass for the speakers and tvs ? that is always cool looking though. i do a bit of airbrush work ,so the inside airbrush job is a little weird looking to me. i bet the kids love it though!!! i'm sure if i was 20 again i would...
  7. Alternative to Laminating?

    clearshield maybe? i use it on banners when they are gonna be reused, rolled, unrolled (like a rockband backdrop) i have used it on vinyl.. it rolls on with a foam roller, smooths out pretty nicely,... it doesn't offer a lot of abrasion resistance , but it does offer UV protection (i have...
  8. Shop Truck concepts

    i really like the look of it... the colors are great, they are not the same ole' same ole'. i like 1 or 3 of course and some of the changes suggested already, but i wish my wrap looked like that!
  9. new bldg, cards and van wrap for my shop

    the bldg will have the large sign on top so it would be to much to have it large on the window right beside it. did you see the first post with the mock up of the storefront? i agree about the van and will rework it. Rick ...thanks for the compliment, you are a great designer so i am really...
  10. Cold weather install

    i've taken one of those blowing kerosene heaters and let it blow on the door for 15 minutes or so the the door was warm and the metal of the door stayed warm enough to get the job done. never tried it on the glass... maybe you could blow the heat towards the glass for a little while to heat...
  11. design quandry

    how do you pull that off... it seems like a good idea. but once they have the art how would you know what they were doing with it? i would like to implement something like that if i could understand how. my town is small so i produce most of the deisgns i do so i haven't really run into the...

  14. new bldg, cards and van wrap for my shop

    new windows i'm just working the windows right now... will get back to the van. on the windows i changed the font for the list... removed the yellow, added dark green, and moved the web address. the windows i didn't feel needed the logo or biz name real huge because of the large sign i...
  15. new bldg, cards and van wrap for my shop

    yep.. the cards looks the best to me too and the only real difference is more of the dark green and less of the lighter olive. i'm gonna try incorporating more of the darker green. i thought about that and will give it a shot, but i usually don't like light letters on a light background with...
  16. new bldg, cards and van wrap for my shop

    Thanks for the tips RJ.. i really like the designs i've seen you post. Isign has the same opinion as you about the name being the most important, i think i'll try a couple like that tomorrow. this is what is great about signs101 i can get other pros opinions on my designs to help tweak...
  17. new bldg, cards and van wrap for my shop

    you know in my biz i only have 1 or 2 customers arrive at a time... lol. so there shouldn't be cars there all day or that often.. if that becomes a problem it would be a good thing i guess, it means i've got more customers. on a side note i appreciate your thoughts Jim.. i always like...
  18. new bldg, cards and van wrap for my shop

    yeah i thought about it like that.. and i'm not sure which way to go? the "stand out" was kind of like when a car lot ad starts with get this car for $199 a month or some other biz like that. then the ad ends with come to so and so company (car lot, bank , sign biz, etc...) you know...
  19. new bldg, cards and van wrap for my shop

    hmmm.. that is something for me to think about? thanks. if my van is parked in front of my shop and someone walks by it on the way in and then says do i get the 5% discount... or any other offer? i do like the tracking aspect and keeping the searching down ...
  20. new bldg, cards and van wrap for my shop

    i see how that all could work in a larger city, but in my town there's not another shop that does wraps and not a lot of sign shops period ... so it is more to show that my shop is different from the others. so if i put 5% discount i would have to discount everyone, because in this town they...
