  1. Font help?

    Amarillo is pretty close, I'll send them a proof and see if it'll work. THANKS!
  2. Converting from Illustrator to Word

    When I did this (pain in the butt) MS Word stuff in the past, I would save the art as a RGB JPEG, then put a new "text box" into the document and place the art into that text box. then put a text box below that for them to edit to type their text into.
  3. Font help?

    Looking for this font, I don't think we have it here... Similar to machine, but a lot wider and lighter.
  4. 3M Wrap Vinyl Issue...

    Without seeing a photo of the final problem I am also going to go with the Dawn soap. I've never used it before, and also never seen a problem like this before. I recommend always cleaning with Alcohol (I use denatured alcohol from Ace Hardware). However, if the laminate is lifting/seperating...
  5. Pantone Swatch Books - Which One?!

    Pantone Color Bridge is the one you want. I bought some Pantone GOEY(?) Bridge book once, and never ONCE used it.
  6. blurred prints and color fall out

    X2 on a dirty encoder strip/eye. Have dealt with this exact same issue with Roland printers in the past. Thankfully, the Mimakis here haven't ran into that problem.
  7. Clear Decals

    Anyone with a Gerber Edge can print & cut these for you. We have one, but I'm not a merchant member here...
  8. Glossy banner that wont curl

    Some of the double-sided (heavier weight) banners will produce a nice no-curl final product. Stihl also has some very nice thin no-curl banner materials. There is also always the option of putting a self-adhesive strip of magnet or other weight on the back of the banner to eliminate any...
  9. 2013 Camaro graphics (and others)

    For ready to go kits, I've also always used Restylers Choice. The knifelss tape and Avery/3M solid color wrap film materials can work miracles also.
  10. New Laminator - Royal Sovereign RSC1401CW or Seal 54 EL?

    GFP all the way! I LOVED the GFP at the last shop I worked for; it had all the best features of all the other models. The heat assist is very nice and the takeup reel is worth its weight in gold. other than that, it just worked perfect everytime. We have a Seal here, a lot less impressive.
  11. rolling decals

    lol, we have a device we made here that we affectionately dubbed "the gas chamber". It is about 7' tall and has a vinyl rack at the bottom end for the roll cores to slide onto, and below them is a box fan pulling air downwards through the box. It seems to clear all of the sovents off in less...
  12. Installing new graphics on top of old ones: Opinions?

    +1 to the advise above, however I would like to make the addition of: Trim back all edges around 1/2" or remove any suspect edge material that may be startig to fail or around any damaged areas. If your previous install was done correctly and this one is also, I would gamble that the new wrap...
  13. How often does this happen to you..............??

    If you can't make the leap to all digital files yet, a very simple solution lets me find jobs/quotes easily from all of the paperwork we have here. Just print your quote/order form on a different color of paper. I got that hint off of here on signs101 btw!
  14. rolling decals

    You are cutting before the ink has finished outgassing. How long did you wait after printing before you cut these? Do you have a de-gassing apparatus?
  15. Kia Soul Partial Wrap

    My only real complaint is that the photos on the rear doors don't go to the edges of the doors.
  16. Sharing - Eldorado Aerotech Transport Bus Template

    I could not find a template of this exact bus model, so I drew this one up from photos taken by our sales person. It is set up at 1/20 scale, but may not be 100% perfect... I was only going off of certain measurements provided and doing the rest to scale tracing the photos, but it should work...
  17. Oval segments that are equal in distance

    Sorry! I completely misread what you wanted to do.... that's a sunburst, not a starburst. I don't know of a way to do a "perfect starburst" like you're wanting.
  18. Oval segments that are equal in distance

    You can use the dashed line tool on the object's stroke in Illustrator to achieve this. The only hang-up could be the distance between the initial point and last point; otherwise that will get you where you want to be.
  19. Chevrolet Avalanche Hood Print Size?

    The truck arrived today, for anyone's future information, a print of 52"x72" will cover the hood. Maximum vertical height of a logo on the hood should be around 32-36".
  20. Chevrolet Avalanche Hood Print Size?

    I have a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche arriving here on Thursday to have the wrap we designed installed. However, the hood in my template is not the easiest to measure for a panel size. I would love to do the hood as one piece (as the rest is set up to print as a "seamless" wrap); but cannot decide...
