Look through the Merchant Member directory, there are several good ones on this board that do design all day long for smaller sign shops. I sub out almost all my design work, and it makes my stuff look incredible for the customer.

So THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT! I don't even need to send you anything anymore Eric! J/K...great work as always. I love how fast and perfect you are at it.

This isn't reflective, this is metallic. There is this same color, and the material wasn't stretched over the gas tank, it was just laid over it wet, then I just heated it up and let it follow the contour, no stretching. The reason I had to do it wet is because there are other graphics that I...

Advantage customer here, wouldn't ever shop around. Doesn't mean there isn't a reason to, but I've had nothing but awesome service w/ them. Great people. Just wish I heard from my rep a little more often, but when I need to get him, he's there.

I don't see how there's any way I can do this thing dry. I can't win on this deal.

You attach them to a message. If you use Flicker you will be told to not use it, because no off site pics are allowed.

I have a feeling I'm going to be restripping the car and starting completely over. I just have no clue what went wrong. What do you use to cut through any kind of wax that could have been on there?

Yes, it was done wet...this thing goes the whole length of the truck, but Colorado was right...it does look like the white is lifting, and that's 3M Control Tac if I remember right. Possibility it's Oracal, but OIE, this is going to be painful. I had to remove the old graphic w/ a 3M wheel...

I do a TON of subbing stuff out when I can. There's a lot that I can't, but I've started subbing out most of my design work, and a lot of my printing, just so I can manage everything else, and still have a normal life not ruled by my job. I'm not overly busy if I did do some of this in house...

I use this font A LOT Steve, so I knew it was yours, but I had to laugh that it was in an "Only In America" thread about how bad we eat.

It's cast. We've had it on dozens of excavating pickups that we did for a local company. I just don't get it. I mean, yea, it's Avery...but I've only used it when I had to match an existing color, and I've never had any other trouble w/ this roll.

LOL. LOVE IT!:banghead:

I had to do a police cruiser that had already been done by a previous company about 6 years ago. We originally did a couple things on the back of the truck, and then we ended up doing the sides. To match the color, I had to use Avery vinyl against my will, but the original work I did, still...

He must be so proud it got used for bacon dipped in chocolate.

Saw this on a link from one of the Failblog pages. It was called "Only in America"....this font looks VERY familiar. A&S Marquee? Didn't I buy these fonts from a MM here?

I chose buying an already established company in our community for 25 years, over going to college. I still had to "pay to learn" you might say, because the first thing I needed to do when I bought it was update all the equipment and start over in the aspect, but I still had the customer base...

I have an MBX, I wondered about that. I figured it'd do the trick, but then I'd have the mess that that thing leaves behind, and still not be much ahead, and have another $35 eraser to buy.

I'd rather give away a cheap sheet of PVC than go to all that bother. If it was a print, then yes, but it's cut vinyl.

In a perfect world, yes, but then the whole thing towards the middle turned into 1/2" pieces that were baked on...the other 2/3 is RIDICULES.

Here's what ya do. You call the customer and tell them that they can pay you for 3-4 hours of removal, or that since you already quoted it, you'll lose a few bucks on a sheet of PVC and sell them that for a few bucks more than what you quoted the job for. He took the bait, and I lost less...
