  1. Experience with liquid laminates?

    Original formula. By far the best formulation. And, yes, I've had experience with the other specialized formulas. Even the folks at Clear Star, the manufacturer, recommend original formula. Just thin it until it's the consistency of whole milk and then mop it on and smooth it out a bit with...
  2. John Don't Go!

    Maybe when you grow up it will become clear to you if you choose to be offended or insulted at something you chosen to be so. It's your choice, you and you alone get to deal with it. There might be many things you could do but insisting that someone else alter their behavior in order to...
  3. Experience with liquid laminates?

    From experience gained from using Clear Shield liquid laminate over the last couple of lustrums I have to disagree with each of your points. There is no waste and the cost per ft^2 is a fraction of that of vinyl laminate. Moreover, it never fails, it never screws up a print. In fact, the cost...
  4. John Don't Go!

    Perhaps you might engage the services of a slow-normal 12 year old to explain to you the more difficult passages.
  5. John Don't Go!

    John nor anyone else adrift in these waters is some sort of elementary school child from whom promises are exacted nor to whom punishments are meted out. Most everyone here on both sides of the fence is, or should be, an adult and can put up with something or not as it might please them to do...
  6. How to get design on window perf to not arc after install

    There are lot's of ways to flatten a mildly three dimensional object**, like an auto rear window, into two-space. The easiest is to tape a piece of paper to it, trace it with a sharpie, place it on a flat surface, take a picture of it, import that into whatever software you're using, and scale...
  7. John Don't Go!

    Worse, this bunch seems totally devoid of anything resembling a sense of humor.
  8. Logo Design and Providing Multiple Options

    Do not provide options. That way lies madness. Most, if not all, clients are incapable of deciding when to have lunch let alone choose a design from multiple variations. You must tell them what they're going to have in such a way that they think that they have chosen something. Some are...
  9. Lamination

    I use Clear Shield original formula. Interesting grammatical construct. Nonetheless, I thin it until it's the consistency of milk and apply with a foam brush. Just mop it on and try and get it reasonably even with no pools. It levels out nicely when it dries.
  10. John Don't Go!

    Doubtful. Back in the wild and wooly days of Usenet news groups, long before the advent of the internet, The moderated groups only lasted as long as the moderators remained interested and not a minute longer. On the other hand unmoderated groups that existed back then still exist to this day. As...
  11. Lamination

    Over the years I've found that unless whatever it is you're printing is going to be subject to extreme violence, like being on a vehicle door that's used for crashing through thorn bush, or you need that additional thickness for some particular application situation, liquid laminate performs at...
  12. John Don't Go!

    Everyone is the same as everyone else. There are no lines, there exists nothing in the entire external reality, nothing, nada, zip, zero, that cannot, or even better, should not be laughed at. Lines over which some are accused of stepping are those things drawn by others in order to fence...
  13. John Don't Go!

    It would appear that you, sir or madam as the case may be, are easily troubled. Or rather you seem to find it easy to choose to be troubled. In this as with any forum and even dating back to Usenet, before the most of you were born, there always exists some most definite cliques. The...
  14. Looking for this border

    Something like this? 30 seconds in Corel. Adobe or any other package should take about as long.
  15. Censored!

    I appreciate that Fred is trying to run a business but I fail to see just how that extends to being responsive to any case of arrested development that is sufficiently strident in its protestations of offended sensibilities. Those oh so delicate sensibilities that some seem to take pleasure...
  16. First Mack Brushes and not sure how to prep...

    Everyone has their own favorite brush ritual. Some featuring beads, rattles, and naked dancing. All are provincial and some almost superstitious. Being a minimalist with over half a century of dealing with these sorts of things, here's my ritual. When a brush is brand new just use it, it's...
  17. Green Tint in a Black to White Screen.....Help

    One of the most difficult things to print is exactly what you're attempting. You might farkle around with profiles and profiling equipment and you might even clean it up some. Unfortunately you're dealing with a CMYK printer, which prints CMYK, not just K. That being the case, your RIP tries to...
  18. Recent window splash ads

    The layouts and the grocery store splash lettering are journeyman work. You might want to work a bit on your single stroke alphabets, those samples shown here are not quite of the same caliber as the rest of the work. Don't force it, let the brush make the stroke.
