    what about using a metallic gold vinyl, and a brown vinyl and cut the graphics? the design looks easy enough to weed, should take someone with a plotter about 15 minutes from start to finish

  4. Damn, the gecko is good after all!

    it's crazy here, I'm 27, with a perfectly clean driving record, I still pay $150/month to insure a 2009 Kia rio 5! That's 50% of the car payment! my wife recently immigrated here from England, for sh*ts and giggles I got a quote for her on a 1991 Honda Civic, $5000 a year because she has no...

    lol, any thread started by Addie is pretty much guaranteed to ruffle a few feathers! I think he could find the cure for cancer and some people would still call him an a**hole.
  10. A better profile?

    If he is willing to pay for half of it, it sounds good to me, that looks like it would be useful for profiling other media as well as canvas.
  11. A better profile?

    I have run across the same issues with canvas, the prints are fine for 99% of people out there, but will never be acceptable to a professional photographer, I'm sure a custom profile will help, but in the end, a solvent printer is the wrong tool for the job if you are looking to print these for...
  12. 720 x 1440 or a double hit at 720 x 720?

    Does your printer have a "return to origin after print" option? I have foud I get better results doing this rather than overprinting 2 times.

    I think it was Dan Antonelli who shared this tip for getting a budget out of a customer You: Do you have a budget set aside for this project? Customer: Not really You: Ok, well lets say you had $5000 to spend on this, we could offer you this... Customer: $5000!!!!!! I only wanted to...

    I fail to see the problem, yes he wasted 6 hours of your time, but you were the one who allowed him to do so. Every shop has a different way of handling these types of customers, some will send him packing as soon as he stars to become a pain in the a**, others will let him know that time...

    1st - paragraphs, use them. 2nd - If you started working on the site before you had a signed contract and a deposit, that's your fault. Consider it a pretty cheap lesson in business. As you spend more time in this business, you will learn how to read customers and weed out the tire kickers...

    if you go to the rite media website, there is a profile for the paper that prints beautifully, did you order the gloss or matte?
  17. Anyone Know This............. ??

    check with an engraving shop, the frames are a stock item at all the suppliers we use, the sign face looks to be just engraving stock with raised tactile letters and braille. There is a merchant member here who does engraving (C&C i think?) they should be able to make these for you.

    Hey all We are in the process of redoing our website, We recently had our logo redone and need to update the site. We do quite a few different things here and we seem to appeal to a few different customer bases. I had the thought of creating 2 seperate websites, one would cater towards our...

    This. The job looks good. On a side note, whenever I see a business spelling a common word wrong (Deli) I don't think it's clever or funny, I think some idiot spelled the word wrong on the sign.
  20. Fraudulent Orders and the IC3

    Thanks for the heads up, it sad that some people do fall for this. My father is not very computer or internet savvy, Ive had to explain to him multiple times that banks and government do not use email as a method of communicating private information, if you get an eamil from what look like your...
