Even if rhetorical, still nicely answerable. That being the case, you might want to work some on your skills at allegorical exposition .

The solutions to your three problems are [in order]: 1; Learn to pull a straight line without a ruler. The operative word here is 'pull', just like a brush, you set the knife down out in front of you and pull it towards you. Cut longer than your arm? Learn to step back faster than your pull...

Interesting philosophy. Why not charge even more to compensate for the profit you're not going to make on the plethora of banners he didn't buy or perhaps the collection of large fine art prints he failed to order or anything else he's not buying? Think about it, as difficult for you as that...

Figure what you would charge for the complete job then deduct the cost of the substrate that you would have provided. The only difference is whether you buy the board or the client buys the board. Everything else remains the same.

A 16"x24" framing square is far better than the Sticky Yard and just as good and a whole hell of a lot cheaper than electronic devices. Just tape a framing square onto whatever it is you're measuring and take a picture of the subject including the framing square. Now you have an image with a...

If memory serves it's not a 'Ford' anything, it's a 'Shelby'. That how they were registered. It's been a while and I may be wrong but I'm not uncertain. How do I know? In 1967 I bought a brand new Shelby GT350. Engine notwithstanding, the only real difference betwixt the GT350 and the GT500...

There's more to it than just the resolution of the image Ideally you want to print at least 4 times the image resolution. This give you 16 printer pixels for each image pixel. On a 4 color printer this gives ~4^16 color possibilities for each image pixel. Just what you want. Then consider...

What he said. Especially the the 'TCG' part. I'm sure that somewhere someone is selling some specialty blade just for this task. Save your money. Treat this material as if it were plywood when you cut it, drill it, shape it, etc. The only time you deal with it differently is when and if you...

All vehicles get a standard 5/50 warranty. Five minutes or 50mph, whichever occurs first.

Most all of Oracal's print media has a gray adhesive. At least all of it that I've ever used.

Excellent execution of questionable typography. Generally a line of text is not reduced in height from left to right unless there's a real good reason to do so. This is not one of those cases. Rather than reading it, an observer spends its energy tilting it's head and moving side to side to get...

Check your blade offset setting. If it's not correct round or over cut [depending] corners will result. Note that once set it never needs revisiting until you change blade diameters.

If you set your bitmap rendering intent to 'Perceptual' and RIP and print an RGB jpg you should come close to what you see is what you get. Let your RIP deal with the RGB file, do not convert the image to CMYK. Your RIP will sort out an RGB image far better than any other software you possess. I...

The best translucent vinyl for bubble free application is most any vinyl and a good application technique. Bubbles are far more a function of a dubious application technique than any characteristic of substrate or vinyl. If you know what you're about you should be able to lay down any sort of...

Trying to patent wrapping a coffin would seem to be much like trying to patent painting a car, re-facing a cabinet, or getting a boob job. Futile.

A bitmap tracing utility that's infinitely better than the neolithic thing offered up by Flexi.for openers. Plus a couple of other really handy things that it can do and Flexi can't. Like area fills and, with one notable exception, a more civilized node editing capability.

4" foam brush. Far simpler than spraying and well as actually pushing the laminate into the substrate rather than having it just sit there on top. I've had some banner material, rarely, that for whatever reason didn't want to accept the laminate as well as it might. A couple of passes with the...

It takes maybe 5 minutes to mop on a coat from start through clean-up. The material cost is negligible, lost in the grass. Do it right or don't do it. Depending on the time of year, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour or so. Faster in the summer, slower in the winter. Most likely more to...

Frog Juice? Wrong choice. You needed to use a water soluble liquid laminate. Something like Clear Shield or one of the others. Not a solvent based product like Frog Juice, which isn't much good for anything anyway. As you noticed, it has a nasty habit of never drying in certain, often...

Absolutely. Hand painted by a fourth-rate, no make that fifth-rate, talent working at full capacity. Any apprentice sign writer could do better than that blind drunk with its left hand.
