It was...
  2. New wrap for shop truck

    I guess the "PINHEAD" thinks his new AWESOME truck wrap will be featured on the cover of Signs of the Times magazine...:ROFLMAO:
  3. New wrap for shop truck

    I have been in the business a little longer than you, hand lettered my first show cards back in 1967 for car shows and hand lettered my fist 18 wheeler trailers back in 1974 before there were any PC's. Well now, if you are so awesome and experienced, why are you keeping that horrible OLD logo...
  4. Opinion about a food truck.

    Or better yet, a beer truck with a nice graphic showing the product like below:
  5. How much do you pay your shop help?

    I learned long ago, you get whatever you accept in life, so in your case, if you stay there and accept less than $15 you have no one to blame but yourself. If you really think you deserve more $, spruce up your resume and go look for a new job that pays more money, then when you get an offer...
  6. New wrap for shop truck

    Yep, they just buy Corel and they are now Graphic Designers just because they have the software..... Actually, many that purchase a starter vinyl cutter package with software from ebay also join the designers club.....:omg:
  7. Opinion about a food truck.

    I think he is missing a BIG opportunity to get more bang for his buck, if he is paying for a full wrap and NOT just vinyl text on the side of the truck, he should feature LARGE nice photos of the food items he plans on selling. The best and cheapest advertising he will find. Again, the full...
  8. New wrap for shop truck

    Yea, the logo is BAD, and I would change it sooner than later. The background graphic does remind me of a TILE FLOOR, so my first impression is that it is a tile business. Remember, whatever design you use on the truck, will reflect on your business and what kind of design work your customers...
  9. Removing large vinyl from light up sign

    Not sure you are understanding what we mean by ghosting (fading), the parts of the sign that have been covered by the vinyl are usually pretty much white-white like when the sub straight was new, the area where the text was (uncovered), has been faded by being exposed to sunlight more than the...
  10. I lost my best friend Tuesday......

    Sorry to hear about your loss (Lexi), I know how you feel and what you are going through right now, we lost our little Long Hair Chihuahua 2 years ago, we got her when she was 6 weeks old and she lived with us 15-1/2 years. Windy Lee slept with us every night all those years, it was really hard...
  11. Scrap Magnet?

    You didn't say what size the scraps are, if they are large enough for a post card or larger, print you up some self promo pieces with your contact info and a calendar on it, attach the vinyl to the mag scraps and give to your customers with their next orders, they can slap them on any metal...
  12. Printing RED ?

    Yep, this works for me, just print out the Roland color chart for the reds on the exact material you will be using, laminate, and have the customer select whatever red he likes, I would have him view the chart in the daylight, not in your shop (lighting). Then you should be able to match the...
  13. Illustrator

    I know you said you wanted old school book, however I find videos much better, just like a photo is worth a 1000 words. I find the Total Training has some of the BEST video tutorials out there, and their video tutorials on Adobe Illustrator are excellent...
  14. Windows 7 upgrade question for dummy's

    Now that Win XP is no longer supported, I was thinking to upgrade the software on a older computer to Win 7, has anyone done this? Before starting my graphics business I worked for two large companies that had IT departments, so I never had to do any actual upgrade work on my graphic...
  15. Ghost sign discovered in my town

    That's like the fool who had an very old rare antique sward covered with rust and patina, he used a buffer to remove the old finish and make it shinny, reducing the value to almost nothing.:omg:
  16. Roland Disappointment XR-640

    Josh, let us know if Roland steps up and sends a factory tech to fix your problem, or if this is more lip service! They should come out with a set of inks and a roll of media, and NOT leave until they get your printer working as advertised!!!
  17. Roland Disappointment XR-640

    REALLY? You have had problems with your Roland for YEARS.... You told me your have contacted your dealer now for several years, and your printer was NOT fixed..... :omg:
  18. fine red line like contour in my prints

    I have no idea what applications you are talking about, however my first thought is you have a fine line in you file that is in a layer that is turned on and the color of the line is red, or there is a solid red image under the black with a RED stroke outline and that is what you are seeing? If...
  19. I think I have found a new market...

    Yep, new wrap market, military themed coffin wraps, they don't even have to be laminated, cause they are only exposed to the elements for a few days before burial. However they do look better with the high gloss of laminate when being viewed.
  20. Your business card sucks!

    The best part about the video is the statement, "I don't make a criticism without a resolution", I think that is a good point, often on here people criticize without offering up a resolution. It would be good when you criticize someone or something, to offer a resolution to remedy the problem...
