  1. Avery 1360 overlam

    Never had a problem with 1360 lam but i do prefer using 1060. It is a little thicker and is much better suited for cutting as well (for partial wraps). The 1360 is very rubbery! I am using a Royal Sovereign laminator with no heat.
  2. Burned out

    Do like allot of us do ... Start working on a drinking habit!
  3. Got burned, my fault

    Run Forest Run !
  4. Got burned, my fault

    Man ... New people coming in to your existing customer can be a real pain. Sometimes they have their own guy or like you say, trying to earn points with the boss. I've lost customers in situations like that but on the flip side ... have gained new customers because of the same situation...
  5. Got burned, my fault

    Yeah I usually rasterize the art as well. Sometimes though, if there is to much small detail. I like to live dangerously and leave the vectors in :covereyes:
  6. Got burned, my fault

    We ALL go through that same scenario every now and then. If it's a regular customer, then suck it up buttercup. You know you can make that up on futur work. New customers always have to give me a deposit before any artwork gets created. I know it sucks feeling you wasted time on that...
  7. Weird banding... 'ever got something like this?

    Is it me or do you not have any pinch rollers holding down your material in the center? That could be your problem right there. Material is not held down consistently accross causing it to lift in the center.
  8. To Laminate or not-window perf

    I do it this way ... If i like you = You get laminate If i don't like you = No laminate for you! I'm going home, i need a drink :toasting:
  9. We made the cover of Sign Builder Illustrated!

    Congratulations! :thumb:
  10. Just an idea of an approach would help...........................

    I think it's faster to take them out/put them back in than installing over actual rivets. Either you will be lucky that you have the actual drill bit for the screws or you can use the square Robertson bits (you know .... the screws us Canadians use). Either a number #8 or #10 works very well...
  11. Just because you're an Artist doesn't mean you're a Sign Maker

    Just because you are a doctor does not mean you can perform brain surgery. Same thing for artists. Each has their own specialty. I love the look on "artists" faces when i tell them they don't know jack about designing outdoor signage or vehicle graphics. Some do but they are few and far...
  12. Need help identifying a script font

    Close but not quite ... Thanks for your input! I'll wait until tomorrow. If I don't have it then I will just vectorize and clean up the word and go with that. I do have it as a high res picture so a vector conversion will not be allot of work.
  13. Need help identifying a script font

    My eyes hurt at this point and everything is looking the same. Hoping someone can help me identify this script font. I adjusted the brightness and contrast to better see the font characteristics. Thank You.
  14. Can I sell these legally?

    Some of you can put on the crown and say no way would i take the chance. (i call BS on that one ... most of you would still have chopped it up and not say anything on here ... You know i am right!) I myself don't give a rats ... If the request was plain and simple (because i usually turn...
  15. Can I sell these legally?

    Meh ..... I'd still do it and sleep well.
  16. Can I sell these legally?

    I bet Nissan will make you wait for it to .. Like 90+, the bast#$%^.....
  17. Can I sell these legally?

    I would do it no problem. It's just outlined text. If someone wanted to give me trouble over that i would say get over yourself.
  18. Would you pay 33 cents a day for the newest latest and greatest Adobe Photoshop?

    Kicked my stubbornness to the curb and signed on to the cloud a few weeks ago. (67.00$ a month Cnd.) I could not be more happy about how well the programs are working. Coming off of 32 bit programs and using the 64 bit versions is just awesome working on large files. So far it's been real...
  19. What are you using to clean the glass for vinyl?

    The glass cleaner i use does not leave any residue. I have been using this stuff for over 20 years. First at the shop i used to work at and in my shop since 2002. Never had any problems with adhesion. I also use this stuff to clean vehicles. Although on vehicles i also do a quick wipe off with...
  20. What are you using to clean the glass for vinyl?

    This is what i use. If there is any large amount of adhesive to be removed i will first use some rapid remover. No need to turn glass cleaning into a science.
