  1. Glossy "Wet" Carbon Fiber Wrap Film?

    Wowzer that's nice! I can see it being a big seller.
  2. Back Door Wrap thoughts??

    Good story about your friend. 'Tis sad but true. In my case I should have been more specific. Psychology courses as applied to design, marketing, color etc... We barely grazed the surface.
  3. Back Door Wrap thoughts??

    By all means. A refresher course is always welcome. Sometimes I think I should have taken more psychology courses.
  4. Back Door Wrap thoughts??

    Pared down to its essence. 1) Logo/Hook 2) Primary copy 3) Contact info. Your logo should give a solid visual cue as to what you're about. Primary copy should be your tagline which will drive home the point of the logo. Contact info in easy to read type. We always ask: "Do you want to write...
  5. Printing Honda FIT wrap w/out measuring actual vehicle.

    We use the manufacturers website. Chock full of all kinds of dimensional info. Can get all the pics you need from google then scale pic to match. We've also gone right to the dealer to check dims just to make sure. Did that on the last partial(no actual vehicle) and wouldn't ya know it my...
  6. Custom lightbox cabs

    Outwater Plastics
  7. Laser / Projecting "OPEN" sign

    Check into 3M Vikuiti film. Slick stuff. Mounts on inside of glass then you fire a LCD projector at it. LCD TV projectors are cheap as chips now. Message can be changed infinitely. Some are integrating "touch" into the displays to make them interactive. We even have it in our dead downtown...
  8. Clear aluminum sandwich

    Unless its going to get cnc'ed and edge lit...
  9. Back Door Wrap thoughts??

    Lots of sign/typography rules broken, but... Show him both and do the one he's willing to cut the check for. It's apparent the client has a vision in mind and wants want he wants. Proper layout, being typographically correct with perfect colors while trying to educate the customer doesn't pay...
  10. 16 yr old kid

    Kewl! Nice to see some youngsters still get it.
  11. Roland Unreliable and Expensive

    I'm hoping we hear what happens with this. Always hate it when someone asks for help and then disappears. I second the electricity feed being an issue. A simple line voltage transformer may have nipped it in the bud.
  12. craft paper vs. Braper?

    Stopped buying the name brand and get mine from a local supply house. Right around 40 bucks for 1200' of 30# and they deliver it.
  13. Does anyone have a CNC Plasma cutter?

    See what fab shops in your area have. The one I use has 2 lasers and a huge waterjet. All my aluminum blanks are lasered and there is zero clean-up/deburring. Very reasonable pricing since they like to run the equipment all day and all night. Hate to pay the electric bill on their 6000 watt...
  14. 2014 Dodge Ram truck

    Find your local technical college and ask their auto body department. Our local tech school is very helpful.
  15. What does everyone think of this? Sign Concept...

    Simple and to the point. Eyes are automatically drawn to the "traffic sign".
  16. Branding concept for Distillery

    My advice is to sit down with some paper and pencils. Much easier to conceptualize ideas. You don't have to be an artist either.(lord knows I'm not) Just be able to "scratch" out base elements before committing to computer time. That being said: Since it's a clear bottle with a clear liquid...
  17. boat wrap

    Sounds like future trouble. If he's bangin' stuff into the boat nothing will hold up. He should be thankful there's a wrap on it to protect the original finish. Time to cut him loose.
  18. A request for help from a non-member

    THIS^^^^ We print a translucent material for backlit displays that turns out incredibly beautiful using an older Roland SP. Sometimes people Google stuff and get stuck on the fact that someone/someplace famous is using it so it has to be good. Which all of us here understand is not always...
  19. $15 bucks.......................... wha....................

    As others have alluded to the issue is not so simple. Or maybe it is? What I am driving at is things will remain relative. On another forum I get to hear from people in all parts of the world. Countries that have high minimum wages also have a ridiculously high cost of living. IIRC Sweden's...
  20. The most overused font in 2013 is.....

    meh... Overused or not it makes my job so much easier when a client says: "I absolutely have to have this font". I gave up a long time ago. I'm in the business to make money not be the "taste" police. This point was driven home recently in a most memorable(expensive) way. Don't get me...
