  3. Onyx 12 Production House and Spacing

    Here's a new one. All of the sudden when I am setting up multiple signs to print on my Acuity flatbed and sending the file from my Onyx Production House RIP, I used to send the signs over with a 1" spacing between signs (so 2 18" wide signs would be 37"). Now when I enter the 1" spacing it is...
  4. Unique Vinyl Project - Glow In The Dark

    I would wonder if the letters would really "glow" at night. Unless you are in a very rural area I would think it really wouldn't be dark enough with all of the surrounding ambient light to give a true glow in the dark effect. Also don't most glow in the dark vinyls only last about an hour?

  7. Discussion Installed ACM Price Check

    We talk about this all the time, trying to compete with the cheapest guy just to get the work is a race to the bottom. If at the end of the day you made the sign, installed it and then gave the customer $100 just to get the work something is wrong. What is your "nut" to keep the doors open, do...

  9. A day in the life of a designer

    IMHO you should be making at least $1.15 more an hour. Looking at an average raise of 4% per year. As Gino touched on, where are you benefit wise, that does come into play.

    We have been using the same banner material for years, made the 3 on the left a year ago and they went brown. We have never had this happen before (as far as we know). We haven't changed our system.....thoughts? Thanks
  14. Pricing and template rescource

    So would it be fair, if, pricing by the car you drive, for your vendors to charge you more if they saw a new bucket truck in your driveway? Asking for a friend.
  15. Pricing and template rescource

    I would look at the orientation again. They are incorrect, the flag should wave towards the back of the vehicle
  16. Pricing and template rescource

    Off topic but the flags are not properly oriented however with the arrow they wouldn't look right
  17. Has anybody ever done an install on an Indy-style race car before?

    We have done these and what worked best for us was to make a paper template and then brake down each part of the wrap to fit the specific area. The first time took a couple of tries but it's really not as bad as it looks.
  18. Suggestions Large Glass Panels

    I would be careful, just because he is your neighbor doesn't mean you should do the job. I would guide him to what will and won't work and why. Remember if he doesn't like it after the fact or something goes wrong there is a good chance that, when anyone asks him about the windows he is going...
  19. Discussion Do you advertise your capabilities in your shop/offices?

    We have a small showroom and a video display. We would need a warehouse to really show off everything we can do.
