  1. How do you store it?

    My banner material comes in a box with core supports. I just cut one top flap off and use it as a dispenser box.
  2. Quick Books or Peachtree

    Peachtree, hands down. Okay, I use Quickbooks and love it and I've never used Peachtree. I just felt sorry for it, it wasn't getting any support.
  3. Why are there so many fonts?

    I've got 16 fonts displayed and RARELY use any of them. I learned a long time ago one of the biggest time wasters in the shop is letting the customer pick fonts and clip art. We used to have a catalog of a couple of thousand fonts printed out. I literally had people spend an hour flipping...
  4. reflective & water application

    The fleet lettering was done using Nikkalite (still the best conforming reflective ever, in my opinion) The more recent stuff has been a mix of 3M and GMI.
  5. Need help to ID Font

    Interesting that your pdf is called biker bones. The font is Biker Bones http://www.fontspace.com/download/3440/b20c0749730e4c17922f5cfb96f49b22/gaut-fonts_bikerbones.zip
  6. Anyone missing a Boat?

    Actually Brad I don't think thoughts would actually run through my head at that moment. i think it would be one of those times when your brain instantly knows you can't handle the truth so you just kind of go into a daze as you watch the boat sail over the horizon. When the shark starts...
  7. External drive

    I'm gonna suggest praying. Hope you don't lose it all Brett.
  8. Anyone missing a Boat?

    So....nobody was on board but the auto-pilot was set and "driving" the boat. What kind of auto-pilot has a "hit the old guy on the beach" setting?
  9. reflective & water application

    I almost always apply reflective wet. Typically I use Rapid Tac for it but in a pinch I have use soap/alcohol/water. I've never had discoloration, I've never had a failure. I had a fleet of vans that used a 4'x4' reflective logo. I did 36 vans over the course of three years. The people who...
  10. what do you guys think??

    NO.
  11. Accidental Logos and what to do after the fact

    You didn't charge them for the artwork the first time....you've already left the money on the table. I just send it the first time. If it's just lettering and a piece of clip art I tossed together I'm not going to try and hold it hostage. After the first time (or two) I tell the customer that...
  12. What do you remember...................

    I just remembered that when I get as old as you guys I shouldn't make it worse by reminiscing about it.
  13. Getting a ton of partial wraps lately

    that's what I was thinking Joe. It looks like granite right now.
  14. Check from scammer PART 2

    Well, I decided to tell my buddy Baugh the truth, I don't need trouble with the FBI MY EMAIL RESPONSE: Baugh, I'm terribly sorry for all of this confusion. I guess it's time I come clean with you and tell you what's going on. The day I got your check in I also received a depsperate request...
  15. what action should i take?

    First, a 20% deposit is ridiculous on a small job like that. 50% should have been the minimum deposit, 100% would have been better. Second, as soon as you knew there was a problem you should have called. Face to face isn't necessary, prompt attention is. A simple explanation that banner tape...

  17. Banners.

    Also, while you're at it, would you mind sending me a quote for a couple of rolls of vinyl, a jar of peanut butter, a box of x-acto blades and a 3 roll package of paper towels.
  18. Applying Vinyl to Both Sides of a Substrate at Once

    Seriously I've seen it done in a shop I stopped into in Jacksonville, FL. They were mounting to 3mm PVC 4x8 blanks. It just seemed to me that they were spending an awful lot of time setting them up. Granted, I don't know jack squat about laminators so they may have just been having trouble...
  19. Applying Vinyl to Both Sides of a Substrate at Once

    Much easier if your substrate is solid...like a box truck.
