If you like 49 Fords it's OK I guess. Too bad the master customizer missed a great opportunity to shorten up that hideously long rear end by a couple of feet. If he'd have done that he might have done something interesting.

Twaddle. Just print the image on metallic silver vinyl. If you set up your image correctly by lightening up the yellow a bit, adding a **bump map to the image of the image its self, printing and laminating on metallic silver vinyl then from more than 12 inches away you couldn't tell it from real...

I fail to see any reason why those who have made better decisions in life should have to subsidize those that did not. Do not compare this notion to a utility's surcharge. More often than not a utility, being a functional monopoly is limited by law as to how much they can make. To compensate...

While the two-tone 'StoneRidge' might be very stylish, it's functionally illegible. At first glance all I see is 'Ridge' and then, if I bother to look, which I probably wouldn't, the rest of the stuff. The illustration is the best part if anyone gets around to looking at it. Who cares if it's...

Why? The release liner merely holds the vinyl. It serves no other purpose and plays no part in installation or anything else.

That would seem to be in violation of an entire body of law. At least it would be here in the USofA. By law employees cannot be held financially responsible for any materials or equipment placed in their care by their employer. I know this from practical experience. Once upon a time I worked...

First, always account for media unrolled never merely media used. Just because you end up with a scrap or two is no sign you'll ever use them for anything. If you do it's a bonus. If you don't, no harm done. Likewise for substrate. Charge for what you had to buy, not what you end up using...

You ever wrangle a large format printer before? I assume not since you're asking for guidance. That being the case, no matter what tackle you end up with, there's a learning curve. These are not desktop printers on steroids. It takes most mere mortals about a year +-50%, a set of inks, and a...

A most interesting product niche. Who would want some slag of a welfare brood mare to feel uncomfortable as it takes Yet Another pull at the public tit? Perhaps the miserable grammar is an attempt to communicate with the typical entitlement parasite.

Some type faces, perhaps in an attempt to be arty, use the descender space for tails on certain numerals and symbols. Most of these faces were originally designed a 100 or so years ago, some a lot older than that. Maybe before the era of mechanical printers these faces were an attempt to...

With aluminum composites you should reform the edges by running a rounded piece of metal, I use a brass bar but the shank of a large screw driver will work, down each edge at an ~ 45 degree angle. This reforms the edge such that it slightly curves down just like the factory edge. With pvc...

Unless specifically requested, why would anyone want to needlessly complicate things by wrapping the relatively miniscule edges of a sign? All it does is add something else that can go wrong and, even if done perfectly, adds little or nothing to the product. If you must do a full bleed, and...

Clear Shield Original Formula. Which is for use with solvent prints of any denomination. I've been coating banners with it for years, as well as canvas prints and most everything else that issues forth from my printer, with zero, as in none, problems.

Open the Object Manager and see if you don't have the 'Document Grid' [or one of the other items] in the 'Master Page' active instead of 'Layer 1' or whatever layer with which you're working.

What Rendering Intent[s] are you using? Since you can't seem to get to to work try this: Convert the image to a 150ppi RGB image and print that with a rendering intent of 'Perceptual'. If that produces more what you had in mind. If that works a bit better then... Turn all Rendering Intents...

The question "Is [insert software package of your choice here] easy/difficult to learn?" is often asked but never really well answered. In order to properly answer this it has to be determined exactly what is being asked. Liken it to learning to write code in some...

Stretching pliers are merely two pieces of metal and a bolt, the best pretty much is functionally equivalent with the worst. Available at any hobby or art supply. Most any air stapler. A Harbor Freight air stapler, ~$35.00, is as good as any other. Be sure and get a small regulator, ~$5.00...

As with the original Rocketman, circa 1940's, how do you keep from burning your a$$ off?

Typical Illustrator product. The operator creates a visual image via overlapping objects and layers and then, since it's all done with vectors and it looks like what it wants, figures that's all you need. Complete with useless strokes to further confuse things. Convert it to a black and white...

Any local blueprint company should have a really large scanner and, generally, they'll do it for cheap.
