  1. Computers

    Do you have a "custom computer" store around you? (not a Best Buy, but a local geek store) We have a customer who builds custom computers & he built my new PC, it's super fast & runs everything at once. Only problem I have with it is that my 32 bit Adobe programs are not as happy with the new...
  2. is it just me?

    Retractable knives around here get retracted when not in use, exactos are a different story.
  3. molding removal left holes

    A piece of thicker reflective vinyl or a small circle of vehicle magnetic material usually works well in a case like this.
  4. Foam Cleaning Swabs? Where to get them cheap?

    There are foam makeup applicator sponges that you can buy at just about any pharmacy & probably the local dollar store. We used to clean our Roland with them where I used to work. They "break apart" into little triangular wedges & leave no lint.
  5. Fire Truck Font ID

    Here is the dealer, not sure who did the graphics... http://www.hitechevs.com/marinpumper.htm
  6. Fire Truck Font ID

    Closest I have are Newtext & Modesto... It's definitely a font, as it's on all their other trucks in the pics, it would help in identifying it greatly if he had a pic of the text not arched. If the manufacturer would have lettered it I could tell you, but since the local dealer subbed it out I...
  7. Fire Truck Font ID

    What type of truck (apparatus manufacturer) is it on currently?
  8. Referrals

    Take a salesperson or two out to lunch from a good potential re-seller company & let them know your capabilities. Many of them receive requests frequently that their in-house machines cannot produce & they have to tell the customer to go elsewhere. Everyone wants their existing customer base to...
  9. Referrals

    I do a bit of business this way though the local printing companies. I give them my "suggested retail price" and my "re-sellers price" in my quotations. A LOT of these companies are shopping around, so be ready to lose some of the printing (especially at first) to the online wholesale...
  10. Somebody at Ford is getting a kickback

    It can be done for the most part with a printer with more than CMYK inks. Our Epson has 8 colors & hits pretty close to most colors. With the Orange, Green & lighter color inks it can hit a lot of "almost florescent" colors.
  11. Composer Question

    We would have to exchange those also. Let me know if you are serious.
  12. Cold weather application strategies

    75%+ of our business is vehicle graphics, and we have quite a large garage here (4 bays), so that is never a problem for us. For things like windows that have to be applied in the cold, we use a heat gun after application; but be careful. We have used a "torpedo heater" to warm up a large...
  13. Digital Magnetic?

    The quality of the print is crap from when I've tried to do it. Always been runny & seemed like the surface was contaminated; probably because the magnetic backer sits on the face. it is also hard to get the machine to pull it correctly & you do NOT want a headstrike on it. I've always just...
  14. Font or custom?

    it's similar to Rapier, possibly a similarity search on a font website would get you there. http://www.identifont.com/find?similar=rapier&q=Go
  15. Somebody at Ford is getting a kickback

    How will we go about getting replacement (matching) door vinyl? I would assume that any unprinted/laminated combo should in theory work, but I wonder what they're going to do once they start wrecking the cars. We do a lot of partial cruiser (replacement) graphics once they get out of the body...

  18. Composer Question

    What version do you have? I could trade you CDs? I hate not having the Edge/foil options on my computer, as I have to go "steal" the output/production computer from my assistant to do tweaks sometimes.
  19. Printing vinyl & magnetics on Epson 7600 Ultrachrome printer

    I do not think that the aqueous inks will hold up outdoors on magnets like Solvent inks will. Also, when doing digital prints for outdoors; you will want to invest in a laminator. Round corners are a must on large area magnetic (door) products. We do not direct print on magnets, as it will...
  20. Just handrolled 30 yards of IJ35-C

    It will probably be contaminated with dust etc from the floor. Thankfully if it is, it's just IJ35c & not a more expensive vinyl. Once we received a roll of IJ680CR that had been dropped by UPS on one end; had to use it for a job that same day. Had to unwind the entire roll and roll it...
