Was hearing it from Dan the Man himself not enough? The original design is still leaps and bounds more effective than your new (boring) direction.

I like your original van design much better. It is much more impactful that the new design. I tend to think having 2 of those identical designs on the road or parked side by side would be much more effective than wrapping the new van with a completely different, slightly understated design...

I'm also interested in some feedback on the RS540. Looking to add another Roland to the shop to help us keep up on production. I'm told the RS series is fast and would be the perfect addition to our VP540. I'm entertaining the 640 also... but not to excited about buying a 64" laminator. There...

Proofread before you publish. You are offering design services. Proofreading is a HUGE part of our jobs. If you are willing to represent your own company with mistakes in your work... well, your clients aren't going to feel too confident in your abilities. Anyone spot the spelling...

Oh Sweet Jesus... what on Earth is THAT??!??

All of the OP's original logo mockups are 10,000x better than any of the other suggestions... and 1,000,000x better than Marco's suggestions ;)

Keep your cash for materials and expenses. Your $4k isn't going to buy you anything worth a crap. You can't even get a decent quality laminator for that. If you are really ready to take this step, the first step is to make good decisions and invest in your business wisely. A used chinese printer...

SUCCESS! I spent the evening on the phone with Jimmy Ellis at GSG. What a guy! It looks like a dirty encoder strip was the culprit (ChicagoGraphics wins). The last thing I did tonight before throwing in the towel was remove the top panels of the printer to find a lot of dust and a bit of...

In case anyone is out there reading... We are still dead in the water. There are no Roland techs available until Friday unless you guys know someone I don't. Here's what I've done so far... Rebuilt files and exported to TIF and PDF Reproduced issue with different profiles on different media...

Non-RIPC PWV profile started off looking good... albeit a heckuva lot slower than RIPC. About halfway through the panel I got a band right under the word "park". UGHH! I guess I'm throwing in the towel until I can call a tech out in the morning.

No luck with the RIPC PWV profile. I'm going to try the non-RIPC version now just for shits and giggles. I think I got at least 10 new gray hairs this weekend. I sure hate making that call to the client to tell them we're having technical difficulties.

I ran a fill pattern test and it looks fine to me (pic attached). Should I run it multiple times or would it show right up if there was an issue? I'm about to run a panel in the 180c profile I downloaded. Will update when finished.

Probably a stupid question... but do you clear coat it on the table or after installation on the wall? Just thinking you might get a more consistent rolled on clear if you did it on the wall. I guess that might depend on the installation environment too. Obviously not going to roll on clear coat...

Nice technique insignia. Will the phototex shrink up at all over time and pull the butt seams apart?

E... thanks for all the info. It's at least comforting to know it's fixable! I'm printing on 180cv3 with what I'm sure is probably the wrong profile. We started using the versaworks "semi gloss gray glue" profile on cv3 a long time ago and had good success with it. I'm a creature of habit...

Why do problems always happen in the middle of the night... on a weekend... when you're trying to meet a deadline?? We have a fleet of shuttle buses to wrap with a butt ton of purple in the design (not our design so don't blame me). I started running panels today and kept running into this...

Devo, the second logo in post #12 is my favorite so far. Think about adding a very simple artistic graphic of a house... something overly simple and a little abstract. Your graphic elements in each logo in your original post are just far too complex for a "logo". For what it's worth, all of...

We just did our first flex face. It was a 20x10 full color digital print direct to flex face material. We used ABI here close to home. They ship nationwide. However, we had tons of trouble getting help hitting colors. Eventually we got it right, but only after I made 3 trips down there to deal...

The two programs are designed to be used together.

+1 on NCRForms.com. Rich has always taken great care of me. Their production is unbelievably fast too. Pat how are the turnaround times and service with your source? Their prices look good.
