  2. Suggestions windshield lettering

    In high school we laid out the yearbook and the school newspaper that way. Real pasteups. We were making camera-ready art that was really going to go under a camera.
  3. Trademark question

    On the other hand, that company name layout is so generic, I think any of us could have typed it up without ever having seen the original company's logo.
  4. Suggestions Anti Virus Software

    We use Norton Security Premium. You get 10 devices protected for $50 a year (buy it at Amazon and don't renew online--buy it again the next year). We don't get viruses (haven't had anything in 13 years in business and more than 25 years at home), and we also get warnings on attack websites that...
  5. Need Help Cutting after print need advice!

    Yeah, that's how we handle the bleed on intersections too.
  6. One for me...

    That is really....neato! I wish we had the market for signs like that here and I had the workshop to make them in.
  7. What's everyone's go to for cut white vinyl for vehicles?

    No, we don't get a million bubbles. And even the few tiny bubbles that might be there will go away on their own. On the other hand, with wrap materials, if you don't apply enough pressure and heat to activate the adhesive, particularly with fine lines and small lettering, the vinyl is very prone...
  8. Suggestions windshield lettering

    It takes us about 15 minutes to install a straight one that way. Drawing a template, photographing it, scaling in the computer, warping the lettering to match takes longer.
  9. Suggestions windshield lettering

    I am guessing you want a template to pre-curve the lettering? As long as you don't use connected script, you can cut your lettering in a straight line and then cut between the letters from the bottom, 1/2" short of the top, and tape along the contour at the top of the windshield. Then you stick...
  10. Texas' High-school Football Obsession and half million dollar sign

    Actually look at the letter the superintendent linked at the bottom of the page on the left. A single individual fronted the money for it to get it put up faster, but it was the booster club that was going to raise the funds for it from private donations. Now the single individual is being paid...

  12. Gradient fill color selection

    Don't choose Pantone colors to define your gradients.
  13. What's everyone's go to for cut white vinyl for vehicles?

    Just curious how it's quicker to use air release vinyl? Taping and measuring and squeegeeing would seem to be the same regardless of the vinyl, as far as time goes.
  14. help with font

    Excavating is Eurostile Extended Bold (or Square Extended Bold) that has been slanted.
  15. What's everyone's go to for cut white vinyl for vehicles?

    For cut vinyl we use Avery 750 if the durability doesn't need to be longer than 5 years and there is no conforming necessary. If we want it more durable we use Avery 950 or 3M 7125. These are vinyls that are meant for cutting. You really don't need air release for cut vinyl lettering. If you...
  16. X-Rite i1Studio - Any feedback?

    The i1Studio is not supported by Onyx. Here's the list of supported devices: https://www.onyxgfx.com/supported-devices/colordevice/ Do you have a version of Onyx that includes profiling software? You have to have Production House or higher to actually complete a profile.
  17. laminate is too thick

    The standard material for sports helmet decals is Convex. It uses regular 4 mil vinyl to print on and 12 mil laminate. The combination you are using is too thick if you can't get it to conform to the helmet. People may ask for thicker decals, but on a helmet that gets collision contact, the...
  18. Is this a clean print head??

    In general if the printer isn't running and circulating ink, the head is probably clogged and dead. Edit...didn't see that it was a Gerber Edge.
  19. Reflective aluminum signs

    I think Gino is talking about printing with an ordinary run of the mill sign printer using the same kinds of CMYK inks used on regular signs, not with specially developed Avery spot color inks for traffic signs.
  20. Reflective aluminum signs

    Grimco will custom cut blanks for you. You just have to call and have it quoted as a custom order for you. You could get raw aluminum, powder coated or reflective sheeted custom cut 4x4's.
