There is a Lambretta font, but I think it's an older version of the logo. http://www.lambretta.co.uk/downloads/lambretta.zip

They do have solvents. But they are not hazardous in typical workplace exposure, which means the vapor that enters the room air during normal use. Here's a cut and paste from the MSDS for Epson Ultrachrome GS3 ink: " Safety Data Sheet HMIS rating: 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS...

Mine says "dispose in accordance with applicable regulations"

Every state has different rules. Every waste generator needs to find out what their state requires.

The only testing/certification available for inks used indoors is UL's Greenguard/Greenguard Gold program. It uses standards based on Washington State (Greenguard) and California (Greenguard Gold) regulations for VOC's, heavy metals, etc. HP has made much noise over being Greenguard Gold...

I contacted our state Department of Natural Resources, and we actually have a requirement that paints and inks be poured into an adsorbent (kitty litter) and after drying/solidifying it is disposed in solid waste collection (the dumpster). It cannot be poured into the trash. So we keep a foil...

^^^ This. It's really called Glas Apeel I think.

I don't think I've ever seen colored .080 aluminum. Only prepainted white. We would paint or sheet with the background color.

On my computer the closest font is Futura LT Pro Book Bold. The BEM is spot-on, but the A is a little wider. The terminals of the S are at slightly different angles. The apostrophe is a "straight" apostrophe rather than a "curly" one, and appears to have been sized down.

A 30" plotter is all you need for cut vinyl. The vinyl is generally available in 24" and 30" rolls. (15" is also available, but can be too limiting). We buy most of our vinyl in 24" rolls because there are very seldom any jobs that need taller lettering than that.

You could try Vinyl-Off, which is sprayed on top of the vinyl and softens it and the adhesive.

https://www.easysigns.com.au/news/details/why-does-the-artwork-for-window-graphics-need-to-allow-for-the-mullions The only way to do an installation of vinyl that covers the mullions would be to have extra letters to go over the mullions, at least if the sides of the mullions are covered, not...

The question is, if YOU get a deal or buy-out and save money, are you bound to pass that on to your customer? Isn't the deal meant to benefit YOU, as the middle man? Particularly in the sign business, where customers may purchase something every few months (or years), if one time you have an...

Back to the 3000 4"x4" white decals. You said your client could order them himself for 20 cents each. What website was that from? I did a google search for die cut vinyl decals and the #1 result was stickermule.com. They retail a 4"x4" white vinyl decal for $0.401 each at a quantity of 3000...

If they are solid red, why did you print them?

That all sounds fine to you perhaps, but the fact remains: you left money on the table. And that's bad business. You might believe you are doing a great deed for everyone, but you're wrong. When you sell a product for your wholesale cost plus an hour of labor for taking the order, you have done...

What is the substrate made of? Did you use Rapid Tac? If you did, don't. Also, make sure you use pressure when you squeegee it on. That said, we abandoned using 3M 40C because the temporary adhesive is exactly that--temporary. We found it lifts much sooner than it should from most substrates...

That's Plasti-Dip sprayed out of a spray gun instead of applied with a brush or rattle can.

And that, folks, is why the internet is killing sign shops. And pretty much any other brick and mortar business. This guy is happy that he only made 6.67 cents per decal because he thinks the appropriate way to retail a commodity product he purchased at wholesale is to just charge for the amount...
