  1. Military Discount?

    You Nailed It... God Bless Them All!!!
  2. Military Discount?

    Just got done with a project last week on a couple of wraps. It was for another sign company that is owned by a former Marine. We discounted it heavily for him and traveled to his location for the install. His clients were also Marines..lol. So it was a great feeling to give such a huge...
  3. We lost a member

    My condolences... God bless him and his family during these dark days.
  4. Nissan Cube Wrap

    Looks great man, nice job!!! I love the Arlon 6000XRP wrap combo kits. Great price and great vinyl for wraps!
  5. Excuse me, did you say Bubble Wrap?

    :U Rock: That is just funny!!! Looks like someone already popped a few of her bubbles...lol.
  6. Trailer motorcycle wrap

    I agree with the poster above on a single image... I would also blend/fade the image into the background. The background you designed is awesome! If you are going to use multiple shots of the bike, I would suggest to cutout the bike. I think it would look better and allow you more options on...
  7. Future of this industry?

    Sign companies will lose the vast majority of static prints for franchise clients... Would you rather update the marketing plans and advertisements for 1,000 stores using high cost medias or just hit a button and broadcast it to every location within 30 seconds? The digital market will kill...
  8. Mimaki or Roland

    Overall, I think the Roland XC-540 is the best printer on the market under $30K. Once you go over that amount, it really is determined on what you are trying to print and how fast.
  9. laminator recommendations wanted

    I have only used Seal & Royal Sovereign, both are great work horses. I like the Seal series a bit more, but they cost more as well. I think you would be very pleased to have either of them in your shop.
  10. Researching Digital Printers

    Here is a good place to learn about printers. http://www.wide-format-printers.org/ Create a list of every possible sign that you want to print using this machine, then weigh it vs. what is out there. There is no simple answer but this is my basic thoughts. 10k - 70K = Roland Printer (Just a...

  12. Another Baseball Design

    I really dig the main logo. The cornfield is a great touch!!! The font is a bit hard to read, but then again I do not care much for script type fonts. It would be been cool just for kicks to see it in a more traditional style font. Overall, that is an awesome design concept. Your client...
  13. edges of wrap lifting

    Here is what I do... Not saying it is the best way... ;) 1) Lift back the vinyl flap just a bit more than needed. 2) Clean the vinyl flap with 50/50 alcohol. Yep... 3) Clean the vehicle area again with 50/50 alcohol. 4) Put a nice layer of 3M Primer 94 down. Let it dry for a minute or...
  14. Need To Build or Purchase A New PC

    If I spent 2G's I would have a 16-32 GIG Ram minimum...lol. I just spent $230 on an HP...LOL. Item specifics - PC Desktops Condition: Used Processor Type: AMD Athlon II X2 Brand: HP Processor Speed (per Core)...
  15. My First Banner

    I would suggest to make sure your banner is the largest or at least as large as the next biggest one. Try to get a slot selection from the event. I would go with an 8' x 20' banner. I have done plenty of 8' x 20' billboards and they can be seen from 200-300' away. The above is a very good...
  16. Caution - DO NOT open this link if you are eating or drinking

    I hope anyone that has one and uses it like that during driving... Some punk follows them and breaks into the ride after they park. Then they take the IPAD and rub dog $hit all over it and upload a virus to fry it!!! Did I mention that they also would slice the tires so the fool could not...
  17. misdirected anger at lowballers

    Companies will continue to purchase large format digital printing equipment for in-house production. Why would they not??? If you owned a company that spent $25-$50K a year on prints, would you not just buy a $50K setup and hire a couple of guys to run it? It is not hard to train people to...
  18. Desktop Printer -What do you use?

    I purchased a DELL c1320 color laser for about $300.00. It is a color laser printer and does a great job. I even use the cheaper off-brand inks with it and have not had any issues. Must admit at first I was worried about the inks. I only use brand inks on large format printers b/c of horror...
  19. Creating vehicle templates in photoshop

    Not sure about an article... But you can take a photo and resize it to scale. Either place something on the vehicle that you know the exact measurement of or simply measure something already on the vehicle. But the fastest way is to just buy the vehicle template. I used to do the photo, but...
  20. Red Tag

    This type of company is the least of our worries. The static print market will be in a world of hurt, even for them within 5-7 years. Sure printers are going to improve speeds, dpi and other critical areas of the machine. But in the end the digital market will not be the digital printing...
