Or just explain to the customer that the photograph of the water splash looks like poop on a stick, and then take 20 minutes and draw it as a fully vector file....

I agree - it is very well done.

I'm not sure on the Roland, but on the Mutoh they are a relatively simple swap - although getting to them can be a PITA. As for what they do, basically they are a filter/reservoir. Your ink flows into them, and they hold a small amount for feed into the head. They also allow any "chunks" to...

Holy. Hell.

I'm with Todd. That type of effect will be very difficult to achieve simply from using the warp and envelope features in Illy. You would need to use those features in conjunction with drawing in the rest of it. Then it could be possible.

Why do you assume that he expects below $500? If he has done any shopping around for installation AT ALL, then he has seen probably 90% of quotes above that. Additionally, does he want professional work that will look good? Don't sell yourself short. If you have 24 years of experience, and...

Yup. At $1/sf you are destroying yourself and the rest of the install market. That type of a job I would be at $1.50/sf - ONLY if the truck was prepped and ready to go. Otherwise it would be $1.50/sf + $65/hour for removal and cleaning. If I had to strip/clean/prep this would be close to a...

Your laminator has uneven pressure on the rollers.

No - you obviously have very little grasp on the reality of the sign business. Your "threat" to every real sign shop in existence is that you will devalue the market in general - your quality is irrelevant. You are attempting to enter a business that you know nothing about. And you are...

Bly, No one was bashing anyone - but it is fairly obvious that this person, albeit well intentioned, is not a sign professional. For crying out loud, they are using a fricking Crickut!!! Marlene was simply trying to figure out what many of who have done this for years and see work drying up...

No one needs to pay for lodging and travel :) Like i said - we don't travel for small jobs - however, if someone has a large store opening (like the jobs we are doing in Florida and Vegas [for the same customer]) where each one has roughly 10,000 sf of interior graphics - we will cover those...

Ummm....Right on the image you provided it is "Gas price flip sign".....

Yes, we will definitely be marketing the service. Hopefully I continue to see good responses here and I will pull the trigger on a MM so I can share all the good stuff with you guys :smile:

I can't speak from personal experience, but you may want to talk to a MM here by the name is Insignia Signs about their experience with the CET machine...

Ummm....

As some of you are aware, I've been delving into a few different arenas, as the signage business in my area has been drying up a bit. A good friend of mine (who also owns a local shop) and I have started up a new entity doing nothing but graphic installation. Interior/Exterior, wraps, etc. The...

Edwardian Script?

I just gagged a little. Nice job! :supersmilie:

I think it depends on who their target clients are. I like the first one, but there is a simplicity to the lines in the 2nd that is very appealing. It also tells a better story, IMO.
