  1. Where to buy "Marker Acct" a Gerber Font

    Looks like DOM to me.
  2. What fonts do you like using?

    Same here + Optima. Also like Bob's suggestion of LHF Stevens Percepta. I'm already using it for body copy on some of our own signs.
  3. End of Day Help Request

    This. It's come up several times before, always frustrating to deal with.
  4. How long is a quote/estimate good for at your shop?

    30 or 60 is standard here. The reality is that either they go ahead within 1 or 2 weeks, or if it's later, it MUCH MUCH later, as in a year or more. Then we just requote if needed.
  5. Font ID please

    ^^ What Fred said, it's the actual font name on Dafont.
  6. How much time do you estimate for employee to hem & grommet 15 banners?

    Same as Gino, I would allow 3-4 hours. Even up to 5 wouldn't be a big deal if we weren't busy. Much beyond that is sort of ridiculous.
  7. Throwback Thursday: post your first set of wheels.

    1984 Chevy Camaro, Berlinetta trim package complete with digital dashboard. Mine only had a 2.8 V6, which was probably a good thing. (picture from google, but mine was identical) in '96 I bought for it $100 since it was not running, and fixed it in 1 afternoon. Drove the hell out of it for...
  8. tell us about your side/fun projects

    Started homebrewing this year.... :)
  9. Omega 5 Ungroup Text

    Glad it helped. I have also found that I sometimes need to clear away all memory of effects and distortions since it seems to want to regenerate at the wrong times.
  10. Oracal says....Laminate reflective vinyl

    Great news! I'm wondering if the failure is heat related (or a failure to resist heat damage) since they all seem to be on darker backgrounds which would have more of a heat buildup. I have seen similar degradation with Avery reflectives after a number of years also.
  11. Omega 5 Ungroup Text

    I am still using 3 and 4, but did you also try "convert to objects" after removing the text smart edit? In my version it is found by right click selecting the objects --> ReAction --> Convert to objects
  12. Two Font ID's Please

    Possibly Syntax Black for the top and Gill Sans Light for the bottom
  13. Rounding corners for cut vinyl

    My technique is to set an inline (negative offset path) equal to the radius you wish to end up with on the corners. Then select that new line and set a positive offset path in the same amount and be sure to choose ROUND joins. Delete the original path and the temporary inset path and it should...
  14. Font Help Please

  15. large frosted/plotted window task

    There is an air-egress type out here (made by mactac?) but I have not tried it yet. I use Oracal 8510, tape with as high tack tape as you can find. I was using Rtape 4075rla, but it wasn't quite enough. 3M SCPS-2 seems to work better, and I think we'll move to 3M SCPS-55 next time for the...
  16. Lexan sign face question

    This will usually happen eventually. I have also been able to reduce the yellowing quite a bit with some Soft Scrub (or similar abrasive cleaner) or a healthy amount of elbow grease.
  17. Need input on Lighted Sign

    We sometimes have to roll up for delivery, it's not really a problem, but I do have to make sure to pad it or at least cover the sharp edge on the end so it doesn't cut up the vinyl on the face when rolled.
  18. Roland VP540 cutting issue/question

    This. I have the same machine and have run the same material successfully. You do really need to use all of the pinch rollers to help the material stay flat. I use a new 60 deg. blade from Clean Cut, weight is typically around 270 to 300 since the knife dulls fast so I have to chase the weight...
  19. Banner

    http://www.letterheadfonts.com/fonts/desire.php This typestyle is a lot of fun to play with. I couldn't resist getting it right away, even though I have yet to have a good project for it :)
  20. Banner

    In post #13, I would change the blue to black, in addition to changing the name to something more legible and bold with only a hint at style, maybe LHF Kona BOld, or A&S Truckin Thick & Thin. Is this just all printed, or are you cutting/applying vinyl?
