  1. font help please

    Try another calligraphic font, chances are they're looking at the style instead of the actual letterforms. Zaph Chancery and Cataneo are similar http://www.font-zone.com/download.php?fid=1539 and if I would have actually read all of your post I'd have noticed that you already thought of that...
  2. Food Truck Layout

    I can't be the only person sitting here thinking of a big slab of sweet tater stuck in a bun and thinking that it sounds pretty disgusting.
  3. Sweet Chrome Wrap

    I think for that application you might want to look at Krylon Chrome.
  4. A Frame supplier

    Cheap and quick....as long as your signs aren't more than 24" tall Use 1/2" coro, cut the width you want making sure the flutes run horizontally. If you want your face to be 24" x 24" then you'd cut a 24" x 48" piece. Use a coro-cutter to remove the material from one side of the flute in the...
  5. Best Business Cards EVER

    Interestingly I got a business card from an electrician today that made me think about this. I usually roll my eyes at the "you need good business cards" comments because I doubted the average consumer could tell the difference or cared if they could tell. Well the electrician guy handed me a...

    Futura Light and Futura Extra Bold
  7. Competition is getting fierce here in NJ....

    Our local Kinkos has a black and white printer that spits stuff out ridiculously cheap. If I'm figuring it right a 2x6 would be about $18.
  8. Mounting Photo paper to foam core?

    The foam board that has the adhesive on it. Sure, it's $15 more for a 4x8 sheet but it gives us consistent results, doesn't make the mess spray adhesive overspray always did, and when you consider the ease-of-use factor there really wasn't any comparison.
  9. Easy Banner Recycling

    Check with billboard companies local to you. Lots of them have in-house recycling programs now.
  10. Now this shows some folks use the heads!

    Here's a video of a guy in Arkansas that did that. http://www.dump.com/2011/05/15/may-8-2011-resilient-arkansas-homeowner-tenaciously-builds-moat-to-stop-flood-video/
  11. Thought you all would enjoy this....

    I'm really curious about how you cut your lettering with your home computer printer. Surely he's not getting people to print outlines in reverse on the paper backing then cut the lettering out by hand.
  12. Thought you all would enjoy this....

    Hey, they offer cloudy headlight repair kits, also!
  13. Thought you all would enjoy this....

    That's actually true. How long has OP been doing this, again?
  14. towing invoices

    We use https://www.carbonlessondemand.com for our carbonless printing.
  15. Logo Re-design

    Neither one really works. You did what you could with their B=curtains idea but the idea is bad....there's nowhere you can really go with it.
  16. Waxing before or after?

    I do lettering for a large office park. One of the maintenance guys goes around every few months and sprays the tenant signs with Black Magic Foaming Tire Shine.....just sprays it and drives to the next sign. He says it strips off the bird poop and road grime, keeps the letters shiny, and...
  17. Waxing before or after?

    Ummm....I'm gonna disagree with y'all this time. For us calendared Oracal 651 is lasting a lot longer on vehicles and removing later a lot cleaner than most cast vinyls we use, especially Oracal 751. If you're changing it a lot I'd wax it then apply 651 and worry in the least about it lasting...
  18. Does your artwork fee mean you hand ownership to customer?

    Why does this keep coming up? If somebody tried to hold something thought I'd paid for hostage it would be the last time I ever did business with them. TELL THEM THE DEAL UP FRONT. Two minutes of simply explaining the rules, a couple of simple lines on the work order they have to read and...
  19. Sign Gold Question...

    Never had a problem with it sticking. You can always test a small piece first and if it's a problem mount it on vinyl first. I wouldn't edge seal it that way personally. Get the edge sealing pen and just run it around the edges.
  20. The Old Man and the Pond

    Fred lives in Florida. I think it's just understood that there are alligators in every pond.
