We do this exact same thing. We will sell vinyl, substrate, VHB tape...you want it...we got it. But we do so at a retail cost to the customer of a 100% markup over wholesale. We sell 24" calendered vinyl at $6.00 a yard, economy cast at $9.00 a yard, and premium cast at $12.00 a yard. We stock...

We do route, edge seal, prime and paint MDO on occasion and I know MDO can look great for a solid ten years, but I don't like giving people unreasonable expectations so I say 2-5 years just to be on the safe side. I figure 2 years with no preparation and 5 years if it is edge sealed and painted...

Very cool, sir. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, but he may have been referring to customers of the female persuasion.

It doesn't take much. Check out the 3M VHB videos on youtube for a demonstration of the strength and holding power of VHB. It's impressive.

Finding a good cmyk chart is difficult, hence I decided to just make my own, but it appears I overlooked a few color combinations in the process.

You are correct. After taking another look, I realized I completely overlooked a few cmyk combinations. I'll have to go back and work on it some more. Argh.

Thank you for your response. You have great insight. I figure we can always try these approaches and if it becomes annoying or unnecessary we can move them out of customer's view. They just make for fun little projects on the weekends as I enjoy designing things like this in my free time. We...

Not really. We generally always use ACM in 1/8" or 1/4". I've never been a big fan of the Alumalite as I've never really seen any major advantages to using it other than the fact that it's lightweight.

Yeah. I did them in Corel Draw X5. The only thing I don't particularly care for is the layers in the plywood seem skewed funny. I actually added some nodes along those lines and distorted them slightly for a more organic feel and to try to hide the fact that my lines were off, but it still looks...

I can see your point about the substrates poster. I prefer to educate my customers at least to some degree. If it doesn't work out at least it's stuff that will look cool in our work area, out of the way from customer's view. I just like the idea of having nice graphics placed strategically...

Here's a couple more new display posters for the shop. The first one is a substrates display that shows most of the most popular types of substrate, gives information about each, and shows various colors and styles that are available (at least through our normal supply chain). The second one...

I still can't imagine I will ever find a use for this. Maybe some day when I have to create a kids lunch menu.

Oh, joy! I don't know if I would call it great. Tastefully tragic, perhaps, but not great.

I'm not sure about this, but you could try ticketprinting.com. The do event tickets and raffle tickets in various formats so they may be able to do something that large.

I think I like Craig's idea about a gold wreath, rather than the green. I thought making it a subtle element would be better so I went with the green. As far as the C goes, I'm not sure I'm seeing what you're referring to, but maybe less embellishment on the main copy wouldn't hurt. I did...
