  2. Custom ada braille sign recommendations?

    On the color, if you are using a particular paint, you can get the LRV from the manufacturer to see if you are within the 70% contrast. The images you show might be pushing it. On the type, the number "1" has that fancy little serif, some san serif typefaces have serifs on the numbers, it's a...
  3. Custom ada braille sign recommendations?

    On the main panels, you should be able to do the panel portion yourself. Just back-spray the field color. You can sandwich the field color between some acrylic, or add vinyl to protect the paint when you mount it. On the graphic panel, you can do a second surface digital print, then sandwich...
  4. Custom ada braille sign recommendations?

    The visual copy needs to be upper case... you can do second surface graphics/paint on non-glare acrylic, raster braille and engraved copy.
  5. I asked for YOU to quote the job...

    As a former CNC guy, I did not require vectors to quote a job... i've sent 300 page submittals with thousands of signs that required CNC and at no time did they need every layout to quote. phoooey!
  6. Pantone Colors and Matthews Paint Matching

    What color? How much of a difference? This is what i have been told a few times, Matthews has done a great job of PMS color formulas but I believe they were formulated using gallons as the standard, when you start cutting down the color into quarts or pints, that is where the color can get...

  9. Conflicting Advice to Newbies

    I have no employees, but I was trained and apprenticed. I can not wrap my head around learning this trade on my own. A long time ago, one had to pretty much apprentice to get into this type of work. We did not have computers and printers, it was all training and repetition. It was a journey to...

  15. Lets go back in history

    1) Fred why did you start this.What gave you the idea...some historical data please. Fred did not start the forum, some guy named Eli, when he was not interested in the forum anymore, he offered it up.. Fred took over. Probably the best thing to happen here. 2) Dumbest question ever...
  16. Shop Truck Wrap

    Let me help you with that... :banghead:
  17. Shop Truck Wrap

    your logo is weak, it does not go well with the theme of the wrap. Like cdiesel mentions, it should incorporate into the wrap. Joe brings up a great point, if you are going to do it, do it all the way with period correct type, imagery... umm, why is the star upside down?
  18. Out of the biz, looking for other possibilities

    I would rather flip burgers than work in-house. Did it for a while, have a few friends who do it, quite a few dislike it. You are usually stuck with a format that can be impossible to change, get crap from non creatives, impossible deadlines, your hard work sometimes thrown out for whatever...
  19. Thoughts, questions, concerns?

    ay chihuahua... you have made huge improvements, with the pace you are at, imagine how much better you will be in another 4... I would keep the lines.. one idea, maybe have them start and the front and fade when they go back, and at the rear.... have them fade forward.
  20. Relieved of my Duties

    Parting ways (getting caned) sucks! I actually cried when it happened at one shop when I was getting into this business, and that guy treated me like crap. But if I was not fired from that 1 job, I never would have learned what I know now. You will be fine.
