  3. ONE WAY MIRROR FILM / VINYL 40" wide at least

    If you've never done it before have your local window tint specialist do it. Seriously, they have all the tools and know all the tricks. You'll have more stuck in materials, waste and Advil then it's worth.
  4. Need advice on my shop's van wrap....

    What I was taught and adhere to: Logo What can you do for me/hook Contact info(be it phone or internet) People nowadays have the attention span of a gnat. If they can't find the information pertinent to them instantly they're gone. I can't remember the exact times, but it's a wonder...
  5. There's a new Sheriff in town

    You designed it, they approved it, you got paid. IMO it fits the area and the response has been positive. That is all that matters. Hopefully it brings more work your way.
  6. 58" x 69" windows customer saw seam and said he doesn't want any seams!

  7. Evolution of a sign

    Neat to see the evolution and what was "in" at the time.
  8. Vinyl Shrinking

    Full bleed creates issues also. But here's something noteworthy. Use Oracal 651. Yeah yeah I know it's not supposed to be used for that, but it works with minimal shrinkage. Actually had a client tell us about it. His former supplier went out of business so we got the call and he spec'ed...

    One of our regulars called and said the drive thru menu board blew away could I fix it? So I drove over, measured, and sent a bid. This is where it gets into WTF territory. Get a call two days later and got told: Another guy is doing it. Came in and said what we had is ugly and he can "fix"...
  10. I need inspiration for a water truck wrap

    Can someone help I.D this font?
  13. Contour cuts WAY OFF !!!

    Maybe the Cut Carriage cable is bad. Just because a machine is brand new doesn't mean everything is perfect. Next morning after we had our printer installed it barfed ink from both ends all over the floor. That was a sight to behold. Anywhoo..... We started having all kinds of issues with...

  15. Who wins in the white ink battle for digital printing?

    We sub out anything with white ink. IMO it's not worth the headache and expense especially if you don't run the white ink daily. Friends of ours likened getting their white ink capable printer to buying a boat. 2 best days of ownership were the day it arrived and the day it got sold...

  17. Artwork Release fee

    Not sure if this will help, but here goes. Wife and I sell photos through a managed website and pricing varies. The high-res unlimited license is the most expensive with tiny web ready images the least expensive. Sounds like they want the "unlimited" deal so charge accordingly.
  18. Graphic Design teacher help

    Another PC fanboy got his knickers in a twist. Where did I bash? You did right off the bat. Besides implying that I'm an idiot. Nice going. God forbid something works better and longer with no issues. I was just relaying facts. You act as if I have no clue which is far from the truth...
  19. Pantone to Vinyl?

    This happened many years ago: Client had to have the EXACT match to a PMS code. Nothing else would do. period. So I called a manufacturer and they said sure, we'll do whatever you want. Minimum order is 12,000 square feet.:omg: Once I told the client he said: "How 'bout we snap open...
