  1. Layout critique request.. :)

    Thanks all! So, the text spacing looks fine? I was a little worried that since I added the elipsis before the "One Day at a Time" line, and moved it to the left that it would look wierd. I had it set up centered first, but with the ellipsis it just looked "off". Gary
  2. New shop.

    OMG. Almost fell off my chair laughing. Gary
  3. Layout critique request.. :)

    Notice, I refrained from inviting bashing...LOL. In any event, this is a 4'x8' with the top of the shape of Ohio CNC cut. Job site safety signage. There will be letter track for 4" letters to the right of the "total man hours" and "Days without reportable incident". 6mil Polymetal, digital...
  4. A few questions

    Practicing on your own vehicle is comendable. Trying to do it with zero training first is a waste of $$ and time. Your questions involve the most basic parts of wrap knowledge. If you dont' know what primer 94 is, or whether you should wrap over your edges (answer - it depends), you aren't ready...
  5. Using Your Profession for Christmas Decorations

    Our Christmas tree sits right in front of our front door window so my wife was nervous about people seeing all the gifts. Our door has a total of nine 6"x11" glass rectangles. I designed a nice looking christmas scene, printed it in a grid onto 70/30 perf, and installed it. Looks great, and no...
  6. How long to wait before lamination?

    It's probably printed on clear vinyl.... Gary
  7. How long to wait before lamination?

    It really depends on what you are using it for, and how long the client expects it to last. I usually wait 24 hours to laminate anything that is going to be outdoors in the weather. Vehicle wraps I will wait a couple of days sometimes. I think your bigger risk for delamination is the fact...
  8. problem aligning grommets with exterior wall bolts

    i would HIGHLY recommend advising them to buy a banner frame. Mount that to the wall, and then it is an easy install each month. Gary
  9. small interior illuminated cabinets

    Really, any cabinet supplier should be able to help you. I use Hendricks. www.hvfi.com. Give them a call and tell them what you need - they'll take care of you. Gary
  10. Your top 20.

    Interesting thread idea! Let's see.... Myriad Pro Eurostile Birth of a Hero (design work, not sign) Brush Script Standard Cooper Black Mono-type Corvisa Georgia Hard Rock Impact Garamond Pro I'll have to think for the others :) Gary
  11. This is for the Gamers in the community

    No votes for Borderlands?? Really? Modern Warfare 2 is great, but from a pure "fun" standpoint, Borderlands is my hands down winner. The graphics are sick, and the guns are a "blast". LOL Gary
  12. Ai - Collecting linked images for output

    You could also go old school on it and just embed the images :) Gary
  13. Big Squeegee help

    It's the 50" with the cradle and the cotton edge cover. The print referenced was a solvent print on Oracal 3651 w/210 laminate. 42"x66". I realize that it shouldn't take that much effort. I was able to get the prints laid down, however there were ALOT of micro-bubbles. The entire print didn't...
  14. Looking for a substrate...

    Any chance you could use Alumacore or polymetal and then adhere some finished wood laminate to the faces? Gary
  15. Big Squeegee help

    OK...Still having issues - and again, maybe it's just user error/getting used to it. Tried it two man. Getting a TON of bubbles. Mostly micro bubbles, but bubbles nonetheless. All the time it saved me in application I am now using to go back over it with a picker and get the bubbles out...
  16. Big Squeegee help

    Ah...ok. That makes sense. Thanks. Gary
  17. Big Squeegee help

    Hey everyone! We just got our 50" Big Squeegee today and I'm having some problems. Obviously, the videos are made by people who are used to using the product, however I'm having real problems getting things moving and keeping them moving. I'm rolling the print onto a core and dropping it into...
  18. Looking for oversize screen printer

    I stand corrected :) Gary
  19. Looking for oversize screen printer

    From what I know that can't be screen printed - at least not effectively. Let me re-phrase. It can be, but I believe it has to be done before the shirt is sewn together? Gary
