  1. Font recognition please

    Rockwell Condensed and Bold
  2. Reflective Window Perf

    3m ij 680. EDIT: didn't see the PERF part... woops.
  3. Problem customer accepted installation on Friday, now says color is wrong, etc..

    The word is CONCAVE. And yes I saw that. I never saw a straight on shot, did you? It may or may not look better straight on, I don't know. The whole thing should have been designed with the entire map ABOVE the shelf, and something else underneath. This is bad from design standpoint, like I...
  4. Problem customer accepted installation on Friday, now says color is wrong, etc..

    In her defense, that bottom portion does not line up whatsoever. I expected a small discrepancy before opening the image, but WOW! That's one of those things you have to plan for. But I do feel for you, and can't recommend a solution other than redoing that bottom section. Color wise, if she...
  5. Correct PAINT for Vinyl applied to walls?

    I hear ya...unfortunately, we are at their mercy usually and have no say in the painting process they choose. We gets what we gets.
  6. Correct PAINT for Vinyl applied to walls?

    We run into this all the time as well. I don't know what the answer is. I've had success on matte, gloss, satin, and then had failures on all, too. We primarily will use a cast vinyl, and what we've found to help installing is to take our trusty torches and rivet brushes with us. Once all is...
  7. Double sided clear adhesive sheets

    Still don't understand what happens with the initial decal's adhesive side....you leave the liner on and hope no one peels it? SO you are taking a regular printed decal, applying adhesive to the face, and they stick that on a window facing out? So on the surface of the decal once applied is the...
  8. Please identify these fonts

    Must be new to the biz if you don't recognize Brush Script (#2).
  9. Post Your Printer Modifications/Improvements

    I installed a Nitrous kit to make it print faster, since most customers want it yesterday.
  10. Double sided clear adhesive sheets

    And also...it sounds what you want to be doing is printing on clear, mirror image, and then backing with white, so you can mount inside on glass. I don't see why you would want double stick on an already adhesive product.
  11. Double sided clear adhesive sheets

    Fixon Optically Clear is what we use. Comes in a roll. Mount like laminate to first piece, then mount that to other piece same way.
  12. How many fonts per sign or document?

    I've always gone by the rule of no more than 3, and try to limit to 2. And don't use 2 similar ones, like Palatino and Times....use one serif and one sans serif (like serif for headline, sans for copy) or vice versa. There was some chart somewhere that showed what goes together well, can't...
  13. Any opinions on General Formulations AutoMark Concept 230

    I use several GF products, mostly dry erase laminate and some vinyl. Decent stuff at a good price point. But never really incorporated into my full lineup of materials. Installed one or 2 wraps with Automark and it seems good enough, just like 3M better.
  14. Mounting Vinyl with a laminator

    Wow...I thought everyone used laminators for mounting. Kinda surprised to see so many just learning this.
  15. Going to try to print on cast laminate...it should work...shouldn't it?

    Works fine on most lams...3M always has that yellowish tint so I avoid printing on that if I need to print on lam.
  16. Whats the least expensive option for a potential customer.

    Simply tell him you will not produce, install, and warranty ANYTHING unless the vehicle has a proper surface to do it on. If he refuses that, refuse the job. Simple. I've turned down a partial wrap before, because the paint was chipped, peeling, and dented. That was why he wanted it wrapped. I...
  17. Trying to get a true BLACK color - Mimaki JF 1631

    My rich black setting in Flexi is 75/68/67/90. How much more black could this be? The answer is none. None more black.
  18. Cost of ink per square foot - Mimaki JV3-130spII

    Not really, but printers and their profiles have made ink costs less by utilizing LESS ink than before. So if you track your usage, you will find it to be less in most in cases.
  19. Laser not finding Reg marks

    The laser doesn't 'find' anything. It is for manual alignment. The RMS sensor is another thing, and you might be having issues if it's laminated material. Need to adjust the sensitivity, and try different lighting.
  20. My customers can not wrap their heads around the idea of keeping things proportionate

    And it's always "make my 2' x 3' banner layout into a 3' x 15'." Try as you might, you can't explain how this doesn't work without rearranging/redesigning.
