We have a large fleet client with a few trucks in Oklahoma that need some updates. Anyone available? Shoot me an email please andrew@gfxwraps.com. Thanks!

I always keep fonts editable in my AI source file. In the case of logos specifically, I rarely have a font that isn't converted to outlines and heavily edited. Most fonts have sloppy lines that are not conducive to clean, polished logos. I also like to give our clients something original. Not...

Said the guy who uses Corel Draw.

I think it's taken care of. I'll let you know if it doesn't work out. Thanks!

The only "universal" format is a PDF with all fonts converted to outlines. I can't tell you how many designers - even from some of the most prestigious ad agencies - can't get that figured out.

What's the difference between giving a customer a Flexi file and an AI or EPS? All of those are completely useless to 99% of the world.

99% of customers cannot open an EPS either.

I appreciate the concern Gino. I checked my tread and it's looking good. I'm not clear why you would take issue in someone to converting a file from FS to EPS for me? There are absolutely no implications for copyright infringement or unauthorized use in doing so. The customer owns the trademark...

A customer sent me their logo file in .FS format. We don't use Flexi. Would anyone be able to open it and convert to vector EPS or PDF for me? Thanks! Andrew andrew@gfxwraps.com

Welcome to Signs 101. I'm not sure you've come to the right place for sympathy about your bonus. Remember, there are a lot of businesses owners and "bosses" here offering help and guidance. Did you negotiate a commission structure for you position? Or was the $50 bonus just that... a bonus? If...

40c is a calendared film, correct? 8519 is a cast lam, correct? I would rethink that recommendation. If you want to avoid problems, you should do an adhesion test with your preferred materials when you go survey/measure the job. Especially on unique, uncommon surfaces like the walls of that...

All the designs you have posted so far are not LOGOS. They are signs... or decals... something... but not logos. You really should consider starting with a clean slate and design your LOGO first. Then, if you want, you can come up with 100 different applications for that logo. When you sit down...

Scripts for logos... not a great idea. If you just have to use a script in an effort to evoke a certain feeling, choose (or make) one that is cleaner, bolder and easier to read. If you stick with your script, at least clean it up. You would never see those line inconsistencies in a real logo...

I think that is completely false info. Beyond the standalone printer cost comparison, the cost of ownership on a well maintained Roland is almost nothing. Maybe a $200/yr for wipers, cleaning solution, swabs and maybe a set of caps after a couple of years. Roland comes with 2 year warranty, a...

It looks good because it's a good design. The pieces are obviously designed to make you drool. Don't be fooled... you can print the most amazingly vibrant and crisp, clean colors on a Roland. Best option is a 7 color with light magenta, light cyan and light black. The grey tones are unmatched by...

I have been running Roland eco solvent printers for over 8 years. There is not a single drop of ink on the floor, walls or anywhere else around the printer. They are totally low maintenance and low cost of ownership. We have an XR640 and a VP540. The XR640 is virtually maintenance free. I'm...

A friend/customer is interested in mass producing some custom overlay decals for laptops. He sent me the ones they have. Best I can tell, it's a thin polycarbonate material with a metallic silver print, die cut or router cut and finished with some type of clear lam or coating. I can sort of...

We do our best to educate our clients on the importance of keeping their wraps clean. In Texas, we are fighting the brutal sun as well, so a regular cleaning regimen goes a long way to extending the life of a wrap. On some fleet vans, shuttle buses and trucks, we often see dark streaks run...

Option 1 - Don't do it. Don't design yourself into that situation. On tailgates, you can often use the tail lights to your advantage in hiding imperfect transitions. Hoods are more difficult. There is nowhere to hide. Save yourself tons of time and don't create a design that requires things to...

In Texas, an hour in the hot sun will get rid of any squeegee scuffs.
