+1 Great question!

Fair enough, but his initial post said that he specifically wanted to do vehicle wraps. And he cant' do those properly with a 30" printer. Sorry if I pointed that out too strongly :) Gary

I would suggest demo-ing a few different machines. a 54" printer will provide the most bang for the buck, however it's nice to do wraps with a 64". We use a Mutoh right now, but I've also used Roland stuff. It really boils down to what you like to use. Roland's RIP software is one of the...

Please tell me that you aren't advocating trying to do wraps with a 30" printer. That is foolhardy at best, and downright stupid at worst. Gary

Looks like rapid expansion/contraction. Do these vehicles go from a well heated garage into the cold alot? Gary

OK....How to break this to you gently, and without the normal "bite" that you would get for asking this question.... Your budget is a joke. You aren't going to be able to get a printer that's even REMOTELY close to being able to do wraps for that kind of $$. Hell, you can't even get a...

LOL...The plant dying didn't kill the B2B side of things - just the retail side. We actually have had a very nice year up until now. Even November was about 23% better year over year. Just this week has hit the skids. Might be a thin Christmas here in C-ville. :omg2: Gary

Anyone else TOTALLY dead right now? I've got a few steady customers and our wholesale stuff, but there is NOTHING new happening. Normally I see a slowdown in December, but this is crazy. Is it just here in Ohio, or is everyone unusally dead right now? Gary

I think that everyone has a differing way of doing things. I've spoken about how I hire and manage here before, but I think it was in the premium section - so I'll put it out here as well. Imagep's list is a great place to start if that is your management style. It also accomplishes the...

I gotta hear THAT story... Gary

First, great use of that icon :) I like the mask idea. I'd say, maybe set it at around a 30% opacity? Gary

One last thing to add here - if you are using alot of raster effects in Illy, your DPI settings are important for another reason. If you aren't working at full size, you need to take that into account. If your drawing is at 1:4 scale, and you have your raster settings at 150dpi, when your...

If the speaker symbol is something that you are branding with, then it needs to be included - but what about "remaking" it to flow more with the ornate piece flowing off to the right of it? just dropping the texture over the top of it isn't making it blend at all... Of course, my opinion...

First, congrats on getting the disc finished! I've been involved in the making of over 15 in my day, and the effort is usually worth it! now, for the design. I REALLY do not like the speaker symbol. Why do you want it in there? Are you concerned that people won't know that your CD contains...

Thanks for all the comments folks! I like what rjpjr did, however as Astro8 pointed out, the top left portion of the sign (the top of Ohio) is CNC cut out of the substrate, so it won't just be 'white'. i dont' care waht anyone says, I LOVE MYRIAD!!! Kerns well, easily legible, and if I...

Well, I guess I missed that :) Thanks! Gary

+1 to everything Jill just said. Additionally, I would try and keep all of my text inside the ribbon. Right now the date looks out of place. You may want to even try and have your text follow the path, so that the whole "wave" feel you have going stays congruent throughout the design. Gary

Anyone know where I can find 1:1 gaming console templates? Preferably 3rd gen stuff (xbox360, PS3, Wii, etc.). Not looking for free, just someplace with acurate templates. Thanks! Gary

I don't prefer. I just look at what the print is being used for. Then i decide what vinyl fits that use best :) Gary p.s. - matte looks better.
