I would like to hear opinions on what people recommend as the best chrome vinyl for application over vinyl on flat surfaces. We get a lot of truck drivers requesting this, although I'm not too keen on the looks of it. My main concern is durability. We are looking to reorder soon and I'd like...

We use only Oracal in our shop and in two years I've never had a problem but we haven't ordered any new rolls of 651 in the last month or two, mostly just 751 and 951. However, I am surprised by something I just noticed in the new Oracal color chart. The old color chart (2010 or 11) says the...

20 minutes of searching and I still can't find anything remotely similar to this font. It's the lovechild of Hanzel and Ethnocentric. Does anyone recognize this as a font?

I wouldn't be where I am after 2 years without the help I receive here on this forum and I will never make excuses for the criticism I receive on the forum, whether I agree or not. Opinions are opinions. If people can't handle opinions, they simply should refrain from asking for them and leave...

Thanks, Jill. It's a little out of my comfort zone, too, so I appreciate the help. :)

Does anyone have any good tips for applying adhesive vinyl to Cooley 20 oz. flex face material? This would be the first flex face we have done. I'm considering using Oracal 8500 series translucent high performance vinyl. I think my main concern is should the flex face material be under...

You're the best, Fred. I believe it is Flourish Script with some slight alterations. Thanks again.

...are always so damn difficult to identify. Does anyone recognize this one? Thanks.

Agreed. Much better by far.

We would like prices also. :) That's awesome! Just in time for opening our new shop.

Thanks for the quick response. I had a feeling that was going to be the answer I would get and it's a good thing to know. I appreciate the feedback.

I had read a discussion somewhere a while back about using cast laminate over calendered digital print media that stated that cast over calendered vinyl is okay but never the other way around. So my question is is it not acceptable to place cut calendered vinyl over cut cast vinyl? For...

Is that fairy dust I see? Wow. Lose the fairy dust...lose the bevel...lose the metallic lookin' stuff and you might have a fair logo concept.

We are moving into a new facility Sept. 1st and it's 1,500 square feet. We are a small two man operation and we have been in business together since Jan. 1st of this year. Our old location we have been trying patiently to work in is only about 800-900 sq. ft. Our needs are simple and for the...

Oh, and by the way, I don't know how advanced your software is that you are currently using, but we use Sign Cut. which is a UK based software and I believe our yearly license costs $85 or $90? I absolutely love it. For what we do in cut vinyl it's the only software I need. We also run Corel...

I'm with old paint on the clear transfer tape. I tried to use registration marks once and never will again unless it's an absolute must. For one, you can use more vinyl and waste more time having to add the needed registration marks. Besides that, if you have a good eye and a little patience...

Any help identifying this softball font would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Ha, ha, ha! We actually have that sign hanging in our shop.

That's the route we generally take for figuring large scale jobs, but the pricing guide seems to make life a lot easier for smaller scale jobs and we are definitely maintaining a solid profit margin in our shop. I think our main issue is the fact that we don't digital print in house yet. We...

We are a very small but growing sign shop in a very small town. For us, the guide has helped tremendously. Very often I have to "read between the lines" to price something, but it seems as though most of our customers are happy with our prices we quote directly from the book. We focus all of...
