  1. My website is now more or less funtional. What do you think?

    i was hoping to see some responses myself... so i could learn something. i've been working on my site and was hoping to pick up some pointers from people more experienced than i. for what its worth i think your site has a clean look... it seems a little odd that the how to order page is...
  2. After almost seven years, calling it quits

    at least you have that as some good news.... but i'm sorry to hear signs didn't work out.
  3. Mutoh Falcon 48 Potential purchase

    speed is slow... i have one. but i'm a small shop so it is rarely an issue here. the quality is pretty good though except vertical banding on some things , even with the heat tape modification. i hear valuejets have vertical banding too though? i have never read a mimaki having that...

  5. Mutoh 1204 using 50" media = @#$#$##$

    it the specs for the printer it states the print width is maximum of 48"... and if you are printing graphtec registration marks you have to leave room for those... so way less than 48"

    anyone ever use this stuff? i was think about using it on my new store front, but have never seen it before.... supposed to be a reflective window perf for store fronts 60/40 pattern.
  7. USTECH MJ-500 Professional Cold Laminator

    it would probably work OK , but all laminators will have a learning curve. some people will say this one or a diage will not work while others have figured out how to make it work for them. the reason i compare it to a diage is the lam doesn't zig-zag thru tension bars before it gets to the...
  8. Adobe products

    what i was saying is depending on what version it is... if it is old. then that may be the going rate $119 for illustrator 10 or whatever older version... if you can get a new version for (CS4) for around $300. so it may be legit?
  9. Adobe products

    are you looking for just illustrator or one of the suites? if it is an older copy ? how old? CS, 10, 8? if it is rather old then it would sell for much so it may be legit... but i'm no expert on the subject. i just looked on software surplus web site and you can get the CS3 design...
  10. Hard Knocks bar sign

    sign maniac here is a distress generator for corel draw. i'm sure you could do it without the plugin though.. i just don't know enough about corel to say.. i bet joe diaz does (i saw some of his designs with distress from corel) http://www.unleash.com/tomknight/distressgenerator/
  11. Logo Design Critique

    there is a lot going on and a lot of the background elements are so bright they are masking the letters. and the smoker or grill was hard to make out... maybe the old bbq pig? i like the shapes and the overall vibe it just needs things set in priority to me.
  12. Any problems with this wrap?

    i'm not a wrap guru , but i would be concerned about the older paint... and the concave areas especially around the headlights...
  13. Hard Knocks bar sign

    And yes play with the bevels in PS.... i like to use chisel soft or chisel hard on something like the cross and i most of the time change the highlight and shadow colors ,though since its on blk here there is no need. i might reduce the strength of the highlights though. i never use the...
  14. Hard Knocks bar sign

    the contrast of the distress pattern is a little too much... if the the gray and blk behind the skull and letters were a little closer in value it would not overwhelm the lettering as much, but it is a cool design.
  15. 30"x10' Banner price check

    i was just saying that i frequent some other forums that interest me but would not pay for them, the info gained on them is not worth it and if they ceased to exist ...big deal. but once i realized the value here for a real business the fee is no problem, the fee is cheap in comparison to the...
  16. Your design level...

    there are different kinds of designers too.. not just levels. some have a style or nack for somethings that others don't. compare john deaton to dan antonelli they have different strengths and weaknesses ... but both are excellent at their craft. i think it is important to understand...
  17. Thoughts on this layout

    i don't like text that is skewed, angled or arched for no reason... like when people ask to arch there name on the side of their van with nothing below the arch. the skewed or arched text here needs something to give the angles reason... or just do it straight. you could adjust the...
  18. 30"x10' Banner price check

    i agree retail prices should be allowed in the open... if nothing but to educate the newbies on the price they should be charging. when i first start on this forum there was no premium membership and i learned a lot that i would not have if there would have been a fee.... now that i know...
  19. Gluing alupanel to alupanel

    a two part epoxy might do it.... if you bore some holes (not all the way through) in the back of the top piece and the same on the front side of the second piece to use as a place to capture some of the epoxy adhesive. it forms a tight bond. some automotive parts are done like this...
  20. Wacom Tablets, What does the size limit you to?

    most use it to only draw it PS or other raster program.. for me it is most useful to draw things directly in illustrator in vector... it eliminates any auto tracing.. this video is kind of how i use it. (i have the cintiq 12wx) http://www.vimeo.com/1825249?pg=embed&sec=1825249 i don't think...
