  1. New machine arriving Tuesday. Need to know which ink configuration I want. Help!

    Just my opinion on my new VS-540 (Bought last year). I got the x2 CMYK configuration. Colors are freaking great! No problems hitting reds. Greys were touchy at first. But i am now familiar with what is working good and am getting great results. Love the speed! My only complaint...
  2. snap frames for truck

    One thing i noticed that was mentioned: Addition of a continuous bead of high-strength silicone or outdoor grade foamed weather seal is now recommended to prevent wind gust blow-out of media inserts. Maybe if you used a sturdier material like aluminum/pvc composite, such blow-outs would be...

    What about the floor laminate? That stuff is thick and does not conform at all to any curves.
  5. Quick Illustrator Question - Skewed Text

    You can apply many types of effects to type and shapes (ex. distortions, round corners). Once you are satisfied with your results you can select "Expand Appearance" and your effects will become permanent. If you don't expand it you should be able to see the object's effects in it's appearance...

  10. 3m Bright Orange..... I despise you

    I understand your point. You should put them on this time (expecially since he's a top 5 customer). Do it right and be done with it so you can move on to his more profitable work.
  11. 3m Bright Orange..... I despise you

    Whatever price i get from a supplyer i just mark it up accordingly. Good customer or not he is chosing a product that you do not stock and for such a small amount it is understandable that it is priced at a premium. Your customer should understand this.
  12. Painting 12 foot tall letters- how would you do it?

    This!!! Grid method is the way to go. Super easy to follow. When i started in 1988 - The first job i was put on was to help hand letter a banner 64'x32' on a modified 6'x32' table. This had multiple text lines and a cartoon character. Never saw the whole layout/production job we did but i...
  13. Going to try to print on cast laminate...it should work...shouldn't it?

    I have printed on laminate before. Nothing large but it did print nice and after lamination i assume it would last just as long as regular printing media. I wouldn't want to start to have to stock 2mil. clear vinyl.
  14. Dear PEPSI...I hate you!

    Like i said ... I don't blame him. Blah Blah Blah it will affect his business and all of that. But think about it for a second. This is a lunch place. If their food is any good it won't matter what kind of sign is on there. They will survive. Now i am sceptical. If their mentality about...
  15. Dear PEPSI...I hate you!

    It sucks but what can you do. I don't blame the client going for "free" but it will reflect on his business. And as others have pointed out. What will happen in a year or so when that sign will start to be affected by the weather. Chances are you will get a call at some point. This isn't new...
  16. Falsely accused of copying design

    Are YOU nuts or something??? Such an ignorant comment ....
  17. Tony at Gerber

    Gerber products are great ... When everything is working. Once a problem arrises then it is more difficult because of their proprietary system. Nothing against them really. I just like open source.
  18. How much do you pay your shop help?

    That's what i was thinking. 10 bucks an hour will get you nothing but pain unless you have allot of wood to cut and paint, floor sweeping and maybe if your lucky someone to change the roll of toilet paper.
  19. I lost my best friend Tuesday......

    Sorry for your loss! Losing a pet (best friend of course!) is pretty hard.
  20. seem to get a lot of quotes for foamcore....Should i stock this?

    I don't cary it ... It's to easy to damage. I'll buy it if needed but most of my customers will go for either Syntra (Komatex or whatever else) or if they want something thick, Gatorboard.
