  1. How much would you charge for this job

    Perhaps a mouth breathing thumb-fingered buffoon such as you seem to be could become significantly more efficient with repetition. Any improvement seen in normal and competent beings for the most part is trivial. You and your fellow tribesmen might quote prices on the come based on what...
  2. How much would you charge for this job

    Rationalizations in tortured support of whatever it is you're supporting. 1 truck takes 2 hours then 2 trucks take 4 hours. Period. Trivial and potential material savings, if any, are lost in the grass. Artwork, in this case, is non-existent but if there were any it would be billed...
  3. How much would you charge for this job

    $550.00. It's immaterial how many of these you get to do, it's still the same amount of work per truck.
  4. Flexi doesn't contour cut inside of letters

    Simple solution; don't use strokes, use outlines. Strokes are the dubious legacy of Adobe and they cause far more trouble than they're worth.
  5. Sending flexi eps files

    Gradients and transparencies are generally non-transportable between packages. Each package has its own peculiar way of doing them. As for fills, who can say. The only sure way to transport gradients is to convert them to bitmaps.
  6. Vectorising help

    Before you run with that thought you might want to have a squint at some of old Pablo's early works, done back before he started painting ladies with both eyes on one side of their nose. He was an accomplished draftsman and adept at realistic representations. Unlike the talent-free Janis...
  7. Flexi doesn't contour cut inside of letters

    When you specified Effects->Contour did you check the box labeled 'With Holes'? Whoops, I read that you did. OK then, are both pieces of a character with a hole, like 'O', one object or are you only selecting the outer line?
  8. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    Subtlety seems lost on you. The original statement was pretty much a paraphrase of Tom Lehrer's "I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another and I know there are people in the world that do not love their fellow human beings and I hate people like that."
  9. offgassing question

    It has nothing to do with the urban myth of 'out gassing', 'off gassing', or what ever they call it in your village. It has to do with vinyl being saturated to some degree or another with solvent, or eco solvent, ink. It takes a bit for the vinyl to recover its composure so to speak. Until that...
  10. Any grammar gurus here ?

    A fine example of hair splitting and tortured reasoning. Grammatically the apostrophe, either leading or trailing the terminal 'S' , should be there but... Redemption for you. This is not a grammar lesson at Miss Mimsy's School for Young Girls of Quality, it's a sign and is far more legible...
  11. What is a Vinyl Sticker and what is a Vinyl decal?

    dictionary [dik-shuh-ner-ee] noun A compendium of word usage, not definitions. A dictionary is descriptive not definitive. It is merely a list of words and their usage[s] of which the editors were aware at the time of publishing. The only word a dictionary is capable of defining is...
  12. Vehicle Templates

    Photos with a 16"x24" framing square smack in the center of each picture square to the vehicle. Import the photo, draw a rectangle around the framing square distorting it with rotate and skew if necessary, map the photo into the rectangle, remove any rotate or skew, make the rectangle 16"x24"...
  13. What should I look for before buying a used printer?

    "What should I look for before buying a used printer? " A new printer. Disabuse your mind, you'll never make this hot deal of a boat anchor masquerading as a printer ride again. Ever.
  14. transparent black vinyl?

    Well there Dr. Science, what you see is specular reflection which is not the same thing as diffuse reflection which you do not see from black. Note that the reflection you see is the same color as the light source, not the color or the material. Exactly the same way as light that is reflected...
  15. Newb looking to learn about stickers. Eco solvent, I think?

    Frog Juice? The only valid use I've ever found for this crap is coating a piece of MDF so vinyl would stick to it. There are some really good iquid laminates but Frog juice isn't one of them. I use Clear Shield nee 'original formula' now 'classic'. It's superior to the vinyl laminates I've...
  16. Best Tools

    They all do pretty much the same thing, Adobe, Corel, whatever. Which one[s] you like is just personal prejudice. I can't think of much of anything I can do in one and not in the other. A vector tool and a bitmap tool that you can go back and forth between and with which you're comfortable is...
  17. School/Church Bus Lettering Questions

    'Potatoe'? Are you channeling Dan Quale? Regardless of spelling difficuties, I agree totally with your sentiments. This job is a loser. If the OP does take this on, being a church, it be sure to collect up front.
  18. Best way to cut down rolls of vinyl

    Lacking a real live splitter a miter saw with one of the aforementioned meat slicer blades is as good a solution. The blades aren't cheap and you wont find them down to your local home improvement center but they are available. You can use an ordinary vanilla wood blade but be sure and put a...
  19. How to remove graffiti from vinyl print?

    That would be 'half-wit'. Your semi-literate remarks lead right into the obvious QED. Why do you assume they were Trump signs? Other than personal prejudice. Perhaps you feel that the Virgin Clinton is so immaculate that graffiti would just metaphysically fall off any sign touting that specimen?
  20. How to remove graffiti from vinyl print?

    In this entire thread the only mention of Trump, other than right here, appears in your post. If that's your idea of biting incisive wit, you're half right.
