    Suggestions Small to VERY Large :)

    When I enlarge smaller images to something as large as you're wanting, I not only use the bicubic enlargement, but I also add a slight Gaussian blur to the image. Smoothes out any angularity of pixels, if they remain visible.

  6. Printing RED on the HP

    I have a few custom reds in my everyday color swatch. My main go to red is 10-100-85-10.

  7. First time designing a car wrap

    DANG you got templates of cars from the future? Are they all flying cars or spaceships in 2106? I wanna see some if we can.

    Need Help Am I calculating my cost correctly?

    We have a small decal price sheet. Basically anything under 2 sq. ft. is referenced on it. I'm not sure of all the calcuations involved, but basically it includes the same overhead values as it would for, say, a 2' x 6' banner. Yes your material/ink costs are super low on a 2" x 3" decal, but...

  13. How Concerned should I be about Gassing Out a print?

    I have experienced this too...was only on the hood of a van we wrapped. Took the wrap off after 2 years and WOW a logo tattoo.

  14. How important is it, really?

    9 out of 10 of the " customer calls on Friday After 3 :00 and Gotta Have it Today" jobs end up with "sorry, I'll have to pick it up Monday" when we tell them it's ready. Frustrating.

  16. Reflective Ground Graphics

    Totally agree with this. We talk customers out of reflective a lot because they seem to think they will magically be lit up at night. Most of the time being reflective is a waste.

  17. Here we go again, 60" Vinyl on Maxmetal sign with bleed

    60" sizes are mostly in wrap vinyl products, as some installations (trailers, trucks, etc) can be done with the larger panels. I don't think they were ever intended as products to mount to substrates, but obviously can. You are just wasting material though most of the time, so I stick to 54". If...

  18. Material for Asphalt

    I had horrible experiences with Alumigraphics, trying to run it on HP Latex machines. The material holds its curl, causing jams. Lost one print head due to head strike. You might have better results on a Roland or something that allows you to raise the carriage height.

  19. How to create a cut layer in photoshop

    Flexiisign does it in 2 seconds. Why create it in Photoshop? RIP doesn't recognize layers in a PSD file....only in a file that sends the image and a Contour Cut layer, IE Flexi, Versaworks, etc.
