1 and 3 look good IMO. 3 is what I would use. It has the scramble, pinstriping and gold leaf elements as one would see on fire apparatus. The combination of a circle and rectangle adds visual interest. Ya done good.

From what I gather it has to do with the volatile compounds in things like brake fluid and engine oil reaching the flash state. Although I do have trouble believing the claim regarding auto-ignition of anti-freeze. I've been around a lot of catastrophic engine failures and never saw...

Underhood temps get no where near 500 to 600 degrees F unless you are directly touching an exhaust manifold. http://www.mvfri.org/Contracts/Final%20Reports/R04-13v01%20Underhood%20Temperatures%201.pdf Check some of the traces on the graphs. I also drag race and it is routine to "run the...

I've made custom valve cover decal and they hold up. Years back there were all sorts of decals on the cars air cleaner housing. Go to a car show and look at some of the old stuff that's still hangin' on.

Why not order from Bobby at CS Sign Supply?(he's also a merchant member) Last time I checked UPS goes to Texas.:Big Laugh He even posted a coupon code for forum members to use.

Maybe this will help? http://www.jnetrading.co.uk/Reflective-Tapes.html

If you run a Roland or similar you will need a UPS with at least 1200 watt capability. 10A*120V=1200W Problem is you will need to get one with a monster battery. Thinking you'll be able to finish the last 20 feet of a roll after the power goes out ain't gonna happen otherwise. Best thing to...

Some time age a Signs101 member posted his custom ground saw blade for grooving DiBond. Nice way to get more use out of your table saw.

Just ordered Eco-Sol MAX ink from CS Sign Supply and they're quite the deal too. :thumb: Bobby even posted a coupon code in the forum. :rock-n-roll: Smooth transaction and I got to live chat with Bobby. How many times are you going to get a hold of the boss when you contact a company? Not...

Check all hardware anywhere near the track. Did one where a rooked screw where it didn't belong wedged the panel tight. Might have to loosen the track screws too. Had another where they must have left the screws loose then cranked them after the slightly oversize panel was in.

With our SP540V we run carts until the printer chirps for replacement. Just did it less than an hour ago. If you're wondering how much ink you have left weigh a full cart then an empty one. Full carts on my scale come in at 670g. Ink weighs approximately 1g per 1ml. Empty cart should weigh...

My two cents. Buy speed, especially for doing banners and posters. Something like the dual head Mutoh 1638X would fit the bill. They claim 1000 square feet per hour, but I'd think 500 to 600 is more realistic for salable output. Don't quote me on that, because I haven't been to a demo yet...

this^^^ If you got it used you may have inherited the reason they got rid of it. Although it could be something as simple as misalignment, or you could have worn components. Anyway here is my super secret double naught spy trick for laminating. It's called 2" wide masking tape. Well that...

A 5 meter Scitex woulda punched that out in 10 minutes.

Not sure this will help, but our RIP server has a habit of randomly opening a second instance of VW. It runs in the background an creates all kind of havoc until VW locks up. Hit Control + Alt + Delete and see what pops up. I did this yesterday and sure enough VW was listed twice. Got rid of...

This ^^^ Wet newspaper works great too. Throw away when done.

For large areas how you build your gradient is important. Only time I use the Gradient tool is for small areas. For everything else I build my gradients using the Blend tool. You need to set up your distance between colors though. You can't build a small gradient then scale it.

Not here. They should have shut him down, but didn't. Seems they think no one else is capable of selling their printers. How would you feel if your dealer/rep would stop by for a visit then skate your clients? Hard to compete with someone that gets material, equipment and ink for cost... I...

This^^^ I'd like to add that I sub out work when the job is too big for my one man operation. I used to think that subbing anything out was "stoopid" and stealing my money. So I would work tons of hours to keep everything in house. That was the dumb part. As one gets older they start to...

Thank you for the I.D.
