  1. First Bum Roll of 3M 180C-V3

    Well, we're about 75% finished with a bass boat wrap today and as I'm printing some panels for the console -- with about 40-50 feet left on the roll of vinyl -- I realize there is a cut running the length of the vinyl about 8 inches from the end. It ran for about 10 feet. Luckily it didnt fall...
  2. Dan Antonelli/Sign Craft article

    Half the battle is convincing the customer they need some design help. The other half of the battle is convincing the bad designers that they suck and should find another career. Some people just don't have a good understanding of aesthetics. There is way too much crap out there that someone...
  3. PopUp from Fellers or other No Curl??

    I need to order some NO CURL material for 2 rectractable displays. I searched on here, but it seems there is a pretty wide variety of products you guys like to use. PopUp from Fellers seems reasonable. Anyone have any feedback on it? Does it have a smooth finish or textured finish like regular...
  4. take off molding or leave it on?

    We leave it up to the customer and let them know how it will impact the design if we leave them on. The finished product will look much cleaner without it, so we usually try to talk them into removing them. On this particular truck those moldings are held on with adhesive. Fishing line is the...
  5. Shop Insurance

    Threeputt, I think we're talking about the same thing. What I referred to as a "shop keepers" policy is what I meant to call a "garage keeper". That is included in the quote I received. The cars that we keep inside overnight are covered. I'll have to ask about leaving cars outside. When we...
  6. Shop Insurance

    I'll have to pull out the quote I just got and post some of the specifics... but it was a quoted through an agent (other than my regular agent) who quoted it through a company who deals specifically with insuring print companies. Right off the bat I thought this was probably a little to...
  7. Shop Insurance

    We are looking at expanding our coverage at the shop and I'm just curious what kind of policies some of you have and what you are typically paying in premiums each month. You don't have to get into details... just ballparks. I'm shopping around outside of our current agent trying to see what...

  9. Looking For Stock Photo Of...

    Great idea Pat... we're already working on that angle. My client has a few different manufacturers they deal with on the foam stuff. Surely one of them has something decent we can use. Jiarby, what a thought provoking idea. I'm not sure I would have ever come up with that one on my own.
  10. Looking For Stock Photo Of...

    I've searched high and low for a decent stock photo of a guy spraying foam insulation... not cellulose... not fiberglass... has to be a foam system. I need a profile shot from around the waist up or maybe squatting. I attached a google image of something similar to what I need. Anyone know where...
  11. Question for 3M IJ35, IJ35C users

    We switched to IJ35c from Oracal 3651 about 5 or 6 rolls ago... and for the life of me, I can't tell you if the rolls have bee bagged or not. I swear they were. I would have thought something was strange if they weren't. I'll have to pay closer attention the next time. I definitely prefer...
  12. May Wonders Never Cease...

    Saw this one the other day just down the street from my shop. It looks like a good deal of time and thought went into designing this stellar banner! I stopped in and dropped off a card with the construction guys. I said, "If the owner wants his banners spelled right, have him give me a call."...

    Flame didn't beat around the bush at all... but his posts in this thread have been 100% correct.

  16. where do we go, now?

    Ye Almighty ProWraps Hath Spoken. May All Ye Thoughts And Opinions Be Shite Upon. When's the next certification class... I GOTTA GO!!
  17. where do we go, now?

    If a certification had some basis of measurement or some measureable fundamental skill level that had to be achieved to attain one, I might agree with you guys. Also, if it were required by law, I would certainly agree. However, comparing a car wrap installer to an electrician is a little...
  18. where do we go, now?

    All I can tell you is how things are in the Houston area. I know 4 of the best installers in the city who have each been wrapping cars for 10+ years... before the wonderful world of air egress. I don't think any of these guys are interested in being on the cover of a catalog. They love what they...
  19. New Wrap Design

    We thought about the vanity number thing long and hard and came to the conclusion that they just don't work as well as they used to. With cell phones being most people's primary means of communication these days... well... most cell phones don't have the 1 (abc), 2 (def) lettering on them...
