    Along with Top Flite Graphics, this company has produced a lot of striping kits & has good pricing to the trade: http://www.restylerschoice.com
  2. cut vinyl letters w/ window perf ?

    I've never done this before on a firetruck & I've done a lot of firetrucks... Talk them into another material, or just leaving it off all-together since it's just cut lettering at that small size.
  3. wrinkling in laminated perf

    always, always, always roll laminated prints image side out. Had it happen once when I laminated a big sign order in a rush... everything tunneled & had to be re-rushed. :( Some lessons you learn the hard way.
  4. Thin lines - AutoCad?

    If you have Illustrator and are just printing these: Select the objects (select all) and go to Object>Flatten Transparency & adjust it so that everything is the max it can be for vectors. (save this as a preset!) Then, un-group the objects. Now select an object of a particular color, then go to...
  5. You at your workstation.

    X2, my desk always looks like a bomb went off...
  6. Problem with lighted sign vinyl

    If the new opaque black still appears gray, the easiest fix I can see is to apply another layer of black over it.
  7. Whose wrap templates are you using?

    X2 unless the vehicle is custom.
  8. cut line around a bitmap?

    Judging by the attached image, this artwork was originally created in a vector program... so your customer should know who created it for them & be able to give you their number to call to get the correct artwork. That's how I would handle it.
  9. B2Sign.com?

    For banners that size I have used http://gci-digital.com/ for wholesale printing in the past, they are in Cincinnati, OH - I do not believe they are a member here. They have two 16' wide printers & do a great job.
  10. Old Switcheroo #2

    Similar to the issues discussed in the thread "the old switcheroo" so I stole the thread title... Our last couple boxes of the "double H" step-stakes for signs have been made with an inferior grade of metal than we are used to seeing. The stakes bend over with mild winds & the signs stay there...
  11. take up spooler

    Along with all of the suggestions mentioned above, it can come down to something as simple as the media not cut off straight or not taping it onto the roll evenly. IIRC the manual says to only use one piece of tape in the center, however, I use one piece at each end of the media. I time when I'm...
  12. Variable data on 2 lines?

    InDesign should be able to accomplish this, then export to PDF. No idea about Versaworks.
  13. removable wrap

    X2 on BusArt/BusWrap material. It's what you're looking for. Comes off with NO damage underneath & NO adhesive left on the truck.
  14. The Old Switcheroo

    well, if you're at the circus - hire a clown for your party!
  15. atlas

    like this? ;)
  16. Horizontal vs. vertical paneling

    The only panel that is easier to apply horizontally (in my experience) is a truck bedside. (where there is no top or bottom to match up) I got a wild hair last week on a partial trailer wrap that was only 40" tall and did it in 1 horizontal panel; it re-affirmed why I always do them...
  17. I'm not Safe Anywhere

    That requires a 6.0L to start to get a trouble code... good luck with that! We've put in over 15 new 6.0L motors in the past 3 months for ONE customer. ~175,000 and they're done. :(
  18. Vinyl won't stick

    You've already spent more in time & effort than the price of a new sheet... order that new sheet & move on to another project!
  19. The Olympics logo

    It's actually a "2012" (20 over 12 below) if you squint really hard and have had a few to drink... Btw, Did any of you see when they had the potential logos on TV that were being voted on? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXyTn3-bluk Someone sneaked a good one in there...
  20. how to go about installing this one?

    Rent a LONG boom lift, it doesn't have to go UP that high, you'll just need the extra length to reach ACROSS the landscaping.
