  1. $15 bucks.......................... wha....................

    Try to follow along, as difficult for you as that may be... In a free market, the relationship between an employer and an employee is an agreement between those two alone. For any position, an employer offers a wage at a rate which will ultimately make him more money that it will lay out in...
  2. Canvas Prints Stretched on to Frame

    Well sport, she said, and I quote: "...Oh my gosh it looks so much easier then the stretching and stapling..." If buying proprietary tools and pieces looks easier than merely doing it then it would just naturally seem that she doesn't know how to do it. If she did, she wouldn't have said that...
  3. Canvas Prints Stretched on to Frame

    Since you bought this perhaps you'd be in the market for a set of detailed instructions for pouring **** out of a boot. Stretching canvas prints is one of those things you just do. There's absolutely nothing to it and it's just one of those skills you need to be in this business. After...
  4. New Artist Font, Saddle, by Noel Weber

    It looks very much like at least a dozen others. Efforts like the freebee 'madfont', 'LHFcartooncowboy', 'LHFfancyfullround', and a host of others. The world really doesn't need Yet Another heavy serif western type face. There's plenty of them. While they all have their differences, they remain...
  5. Graphtec not cutting precisely

    At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the standard fix for cutting problems of the sort shown in the 'o' in the 'to' and on the triangle is to remove the dust cover on the carriage and blow all the dust out of it. Pay particular attention to the blade up/down mechanism and the blade...
  6. How is this even possible?

    Not so. Using your $12 television fantasy, certainly a $12 set would be popular. So popular that there would be more demand than supply. Then, with everyone clamoring for the $12 model, someone jumps the line by offering $13. Then $14, and on and on. At each increment some number of buyers...
  7. Sniper school shirt design

    This looks like something out of a high school mechanical drawing class. It's a bunch of stuff in a symmetrical arrangement, seldom a good idea, where everything is just floating around. The gun silhouettes are far too complex and, other that some anal urge for symmetry, why two of them? The...
  8. engine turn and reg. marks

    I see you're using Flexi but I have no idea as to what plotter you might be using. So... Whenever I have to contour cut questionable media, like metallic silver or gold or whatever, I always opt to use the 4 point manual option in Production Manager and, since my plotter has a built-in laser...
  9. Suggestions and critiques welcome

    As previously noted by many, way too much decoration and not enough message. Typographically, upper and lower text should not be arched and arched text generally is not harmonious with other text in italics. Moreover the micro-text at the bottom serves no purpose other than to give the finger...
  10. Butch Anton's Frogjuice Supplier

    Gold does not tarnish. Ever. One clear coats actual gold leaf because it's ~.00003" thick, that's ~1/300,000", and extremely fragile. But fragile as it is, it still does not tarnish. I have no idea how thick that actual gold might be on on the various gold vinyl products but it's likely to...
  11. Wrap direction - is wrap facing in useable?

    If a few inches of banner material or vinyl separates you from profitability then your pricing model has some serious problems. A dollar here or there plus or minus should be pretty much meaningless if you're going about things properly. If you're in the business for very long at all you realize...
  12. I need glasses!!!

    Progressive lenses take a bit of getting used to. I've been wearing them for 25+ years and wouldn't have any other solution. The downside is that the actual correction is a very narrow strip, like 3/16"+- down the center of the lenses. You have no peripheral correction, you have to turn your...
  13. Wrap direction - is wrap facing in useable?

    If that's too much waste profit wise, then you might want to revisit your pricing model. You're operating way too close to the edge. If that's too much waste philosophically, perhaps you should try to develop a better accommodation of the external reality.
  14. outsourcing

    Funny you should mention this... Right here in my village there actually is a guy with only one arm and one leg that regularly plays pool down to the local sports bar. He's got some sort of prosthetic rig on the leg but nothing on the arm.
  15. Couple jobs from this week.

    All in all, not bad. It does look like the 'C' and the 'K' in 'TICKETS' on the camo recliner sign got away from you just a bit.
  16. Gas below $3 per gallon in New Jersey, how about by you...

    Why is it that diesel is more than premium gasoline? It's a higher fraction to distill [less volatile] than gasoline therefore it's easier to distill and there's more of it. Generally, the higher the fraction the cheaper the price. That's why you don't pay what would be the equivalent volume of...
  17. Quick Coroplast Question

    Flutes perpendicular to the way you don't want the sign to bend or that it's likely to bend. Always.
  18. Magnetics sticking to vehicles

    Off the top of my head without extensive and concomitantly excruciating studies it may well be a combination of two things. First; the magnet is merely sitting atop the surface, it must necessarily move. Be it vibration or whatever, it's almost a certainty that if does move. Micro moves...
  19. Color isn't printing correctly

    What are you sending to your RIP? If a bitmap is it CMYK or RGB? To what are your rendering intents set?
  20. Logo and first layered vinyl

    'DESIGNZ' conjures up an image of an idiot with a sideways baseball cap and pants around its knees. 'PM' is orders of magnitude too large. It says that the above mentioned idiot has an ego problem. 'Custom Vinyl Signs'. All signs are custom and 'vinyl' can be a pejorative. It subtly...
