  1. I just won a bid and need advice! HELP :)

    Woh, I'm with everyone else...I'd have been about that in just vinyl. You may need to figure out how to wiggle out of this one.
  2. CS5 to CS2 conversion help PLEASE!

    Can someone convert a CS5 file down to CS2 for me? Normally I can find a work around, but I'm not having any luck on this one. Just PM me if you are willing and I can email it. Thanks!
  3. How's your weather?

    Haven't had NEAR enough snow. Just an inch here and there, then it warms up to 50 and melts, then we do it all over again. When I was a kid we used to get 3-6" of snow on a regular basis through the year.
  4. Alumalite for routed letters???

    They make stuff that's like alumalite, but thinner. I've ordered it both called ACM, and ACP. Not sure who makes it, but I assume anyone that could get alumalite can get that, because my supplier carried both. It's a solid core and would finish off nicer. It's a 3MM though...that's probably...
  5. sign shop from home

    I posted in this earlier, but I don't think I'd be able to handle "home based" unless I had a few acres and the shop was further away from my house. I remember when my grandparents had my current business at their house as a kid. We would be sitting around eating supper at 7PM and there would...
  6. Recommend a plotter to me.

    I have a Mimaki CG-130FX. Right now I'm cutting stuff that's 4' Long, and it won't stay on track. Never has. It'll start perfect, but if you have anything more than 2 squares to cut, it's toast. I've just always known it's limits, and haven't pushed them. I don't know what Signs365 uses...
  7. how do you attach your printed vinyl to take up?

    I'm no Yuppie...I just tape it when it reaches the take up. Once I get the tape on, everybody be happy, happy, happy.
  8. greetings from Indiana

    Welcome from Huntington. Where about's are ya?
  9. Possible Name Change??

    I like Premiere Graphics...I guess if you want to work the "Company" in there you can, but we already know you are a company, so it's not needed. I'd start with a new logo (well, I'd be subbing that part out) and see which one worked better for the layout.
  10. YAAAY it's little league bball banner time!!

    We don't get into too much of this, I think because the local photographer that I work with a lot, went under me and started getting them from a wholesaler, and is selling them for cheap to keep their other contracts (guess I can't blame them). I once had someone wanting like 30 banners for a...
  11. Bulk ink issue, maybe?

    I run a mimaki, but I ran Bordeaux inks in it for years and never had issues. Ran it till I sold it, and started running Triangle inks right out of the gate in my new Mimaki JV33. I wouldn't always blame it on the inks.
  12. Another call.......................

    I had a guy who was in a huge hurry (of course these pay a premium up front for when they screw up so I don't have any chance of eating it) and he said "the whole sign is going to be red, so just order in a roll of red. It was a 48" Roll of Translucent. Went ahead and made his bill out for...
  13. My company logo designed by Neato. Thoughts?

    I CAN design like that...at least my customers think I can. They don't see my payroll heading to Phillips inbox.
  14. photo-tex

    Put out lots of phototex over the past few years, never had any complaints. I do know that they just came out with one that was more aggressive adhesive. I probably won't try it since I haven't had issues with the original.
  15. too much snow to go to work?

    We used to get lots every year, now the last two years haven't had much. On rainy days I seem to be mega slow, but on snowy days, it's downright dead. No one hardly ever comes in when it's snowing, even an inch. However, since I was always generally slow in the winter, and people never came...
  16. Anyone here wrapped helmets with this process before?

    Yea, I'm not expecting incredible results...but I figure it's worth a shot. All I have are full helmets, so we'll see how terribly this goes.
  17. Anyone here wrapped helmets with this process before?

    I saw this on YouTube a long time ago, and just had a friend drop me off a plastic barrel so I can try this. All I have are full face and open face ATV helmets, but I'm going to see how it goes on those and see if it will work. Just wondered if anyone else had had any luck with it. I can...
  18. 10MM Coroplast Cutout Idea

    It's just a 1985 jigsaw (could be why it's so amazing) and a fine metal blade. I printed a line to follow when I printed the graphic, so that helps. Just printed it on 3621 Matte and sprayed with a Polyurethane spray can to protect it a little. Trying to figure out a way to do it and keep...
  19. 10MM Coroplast Cutout Idea

    I have done a couple different variations of "mascots" in the past couple days, and think we came up with a cool way to make them for indoor/outdoor applications. Trying to get a feel on what I could/should retail these for. I know I'm going to get beat up on price no matter what I do because...
