  4. Problem with Convex

    I would never use convex on a boat! It's too thick and it is not made for boat graphics! What posessed you to use convex? I would have used wrap material or something like it. SC
  5. Wrap a RC Truck

    Lettering or Wrapping any model is not a viable way of making money. I find the smaller the item the harder it is to graphic or wrap. If the customer insists do a supply only as you would be quicker doing the full size vehicle. SC
  6. Decal printing

    I don't know about you guys but something is very strange about this thread! Why want to make something that has such tight deadlines and so little money in it? Some people are all for making their life hell. My personal advice is walk away from this job or you will be burnt! This sound...
  7. Experience with aluminum composites?

    I have been using this material for years in the UK. Only problem is after a couple of years sometimes you can get what looks like corrosion around the edges as if water is getting between the laminated parts. SC
  8. What spell checker do you use?

    No spell checking!!!! The customer has to proof and check spelling. If it is wrong it's not my fault. Also I will not type large text in so if it is supplied as a text file it's still their problem. SC
  9. Removable Wall Graphics - aka like Fathead

    Am I missing something here?!! The reason the material is removeable is that it is used for short term application. I think you will find especially if it is a painted/plaster wall is that you have to question what paint has been used and how smooth the surface is. Is the material been given...
  10. New sign shop woes. Suggestions?

    I would walk out and find another job (I did). Good Grief I have 3 members of staff with 6 computers and still I could do with an extra one. Ours is set for 1 main RIP, 1 RIP,Cut and output, 3 Design, 1 that does all sorts!! Designing Wraps, Signage or Vehicle Graphics is a whole different...

  12. Today's wrap

    OMG Sack the designer!!!! Or maybe sack the guy who is in charge of advertising. What a huge waste of money especially for what I can only guess is a charity it says nothing about cancer research it is as if whoever designed it was trying to hide what it was all about. It looks as if someone...
  13. how long after painting

    For my bit I would say to him, " due to the likely event of the paint job failing and you pulling paint of I would insist on payment up front". Obviously he has had this painted very cheaply and I would more worry about how much preparation their was prior to the application. If it is an oil...
  14. Worst fonts ever!

    LOL you have had that customer in your shop. SC
  15. Chrome Door Trim

    I have found that most trim on newer vehicles is bonded on with vhb tape. They don't like putting holes in doors anymore. Also I have found that vehicles are no longer meant to be dismantled especially round trim parts and are clipped or bonded on with clips or bits that just break when been...
  16. Worst fonts ever!

    My pet hates are:- Brush Script......Scream, Commercial Script......for a script it is so dead, Clarendon, as it is just a horrible font, My most hated of all fonts is Old English, I now have a personal vendetta against this font as loads of customers want it especially all caps!!!! I hate it...
  17. How to bill it...........??

    I think I would talk to the owner and suggest it is going to cost them more money to work this out by employing another person or it you will have to employ another person which will also raise the price. I am thinking this company has already had to work out what each item is costing them and...
  18. I need to explain to a designer why we have trouble with certain colours

    I would invite the said designer to your shop and physically show her the difficulty you are having. This usually lets the penny drop and either they pay more money for it to be altered or you will find a compromise and have to make do. Most of the times you just have to show these people that...
