Sell him a projector... LMAO. My negotiating skills are fine. I love how some of you guys can twist an innocent question into something so much more. We screwed the sign to the wall. Everything is fine. Thanks for the replies.

We have issues with the safety laser sensor from time to time. It seems that the slightest spec of dust will trip that thing. Sometimes the tention on the vinyl supply will pull up on the table just enough to trip it too. There's never any rhyme or reason to it though. Sometimes it trips 10...

You nailed it.

Yes I know... I guess I should have also mentioned that. The customer requested that we not drill holes in the wall. I told him that any adhesive we use will likely pull the stucco off upon removal. He doesn't care... he just doesn't want holes in the wall. Right or wrong doesn't really matter...

Can anyone give me some ideas on the best way to mount a 4x8 sheet of 040 aluminum to a stucco wall outside a commercial shopping center? Directly behind the stucco finish is a cinder block wall. The owner of the business would rather not drill holes in the stucco surface. I told him I'd...

I missed it cuz my retired father likes to come in, sort through the mail, pay bills, etc. He's kinda forgetful. He has a bad habit of stacking all my catalogs and magazines on his desk and not giving me the stuff I might actually want to look at. I totally missed last month's edition.

Just found out today we were published in last month's Sign & Dig Graphics Mag for the Auto Art contest! Pretty exciting! We didn't win, but got an honorable mention in the commercial fleet category. Nobody even contacted me. I had no idea!

I say this with all due respect... Just because you can wrap cars doesn't mean you should. So many shops completely miss the most important factor, the reason for it al... design.

Make sure you account for the takeup system. I believe the Mimaki comes with a takeup system. You have to buy the Roland extra.

We're finally about to wrap our first Transit Connect. I'm curious about the plastic molding down the sides of the body. I know they are held on with VHB tape, but I haven't attempted to remove them yet. Are there holes in the body?

Grab 20 bucks and go to the bolts/nails aisle of Home Depot or Lowes. There you'll find every size of hole plug imaginable in black and white. Grab a couple packets of each size and you'll be set to deal with whatever hole comes your way.

I disagree with Bob that the emblems should always go back on. It's a decision that should be made by the designer and the owner of the vehicle. We leave the emblems off more often than not. Typically, they get in the way of the wrap layout. If there are holes, we deal with them on a case by...

wow... i kinda like it too signmeup!

I think you are doing a great job of arguing against yourself Signmeup. In the 70s and 80s the Nike swoosh was combined with the word NIKE to make up their logo. It was a simple, clean, recognizable symbol of their brand. It is everything a logo should be. It can be easily reproduced in a huge...

Jasper, that last pic was hilarious!

That's not a fair argument at all. Nike has spent decades and bazillions of dollars to make the swoosh synonymous with Nike. Small businesses don't have that luxury... which is why it's important for a small business logo to communicate a message. If that message is in Sanskrit... well, it...

Thanks for the font Signmeup. I have to respectfully disagree with your view on the narrow market. I think there is a huge market for people/businesses with too much money who just want a big, ridiculous fish tank yet they know absolutely nothing about fish. In fact, they know so little, they...

LMAO... way to make a simple situation overly complicated there jasper. I own a print shop. At this print shop, I have an assistant. That assistant has a good friend he was hoping to help out. But really... you needn't worry yourself with the particulars. I'm only interested in a critique of the...

Hey Keith, check out this golf cart we did recently. Turned out pretty cool for a leopard print golf cart with pink stuff on it. The pattern was made with AlienSkin filters. Looks very realistic!
