  1. Our Van Wrap

    Loud / Bright / Communicative ... This looks soooooo much better that the original concept, you kept all of the good stuff and lost the unwanted dated parts of the graphics. It's amazing when little tweaks can take something from 0 to Hero. I feel like I get designs close and then can never...
  2. Different monitor setups, what do you have?

    (3) 2560 x 1600 30" Ultrasharps is my choice but that will be out of your budget. It also takes 2 high end cards or an expensive quadro. I see really inexpensive deals on 24" monitors all the time, on a budget that is how I would go.
  3. 40" laminator recomendations???

    I have a 65" us Tech, and have yet to ruin a print.
  4. 40" laminator recomendations???

    I laminate 11' on an 8' table, I seem to be able to stop and roll the finished product and pull the whole mess with the BS laminator just laid down on the material in place and start right where I left off. I do however use a glass table top that is about 3/4" thick and that certainly helps. I...
  5. Van island newbie

    Are you doing mostly indoor stuff? I know that there are some aqueous printers to be had very inexpensively that also don't require the level of maintenance. Media will cost you a little more but if your volume is small it won't matter much. You won't find a traditional print cut solution...
  6. 40" laminator recomendations???

    Wait a minute, I love my laminator but tell us how you are ruining your 11' prints with the BS? I could laminate those all day long with a BS. Just thinking it might be better to correct the technique. What type of material/type of lam/type and size of table you use/ type of BS? Also...
  7. Outdoor Scenic Overlook Signs?

    Doesn't Gemini do signs like this as well?
  8. Panel Saw?

    I bought a DeWalt Track Saw super cheap on clearance. I think i'ts a 20 or 27v (can't remember but they were going to move up to a higher voltage so the existing ones are CHEAP! If mine broke or was stolen I would have another one ordered within 10 minutes. For me it beats a panel saw 10 to 1...
  9. New Fellers Catalog Cover

    Sculls, Crosses, Guns 'n Flags -Murica The Frank drinking game should however be played at any sign get together. I like that they sometimes have cut yardages that I can't get from my regular supplier.
  10. VersaCamm vs SolJet Pro

    Also capable of 1400 x 1400
  11. VersaCamm vs SolJet Pro

    Soljet is quite a bit faster and a different level of build quality.
  12. least amount of time before laminating.

    You are going to get answers from 0-24 hours. They will outgass faster/better if they are hanging vertically and not laid flat. If you lay them put a small fan blowing over them. Try not to lay down too much ink. There are folks that lam immediately, I would think 4 hours and not humid you...
  13. My company logo designed by Neato. Thoughts?

    The graphics is potentially redundant. At a distance what are you going to see? People already know where they are, they need to know that you are a sign shop. What if wigns was the same width as sun city? I also like the idea of the concaved Sun City cradling the sun. My .02 but I know...
  14. Domain Name

    I like ROI better. If you are dealing with professional business owners you would think that everyone would get it, if we are talking about regular Joe on the street, it won't go far. Design Matrix sounds sticker shop to me, probably good if you are targeting off the streed "Dude can you make a...
  15. Sign Brokering

    Aren't we all brokers? I just subbed out a sign that we don't do in house, I will mark it up and provide it to my customer. I guess I'm a broker. Back in the day I started as a print broker and then opened up my own shop. Always looked for the best price but never beat anyone up (just like I...
  16. I'm really digg'n this clients idea for a tidy busienss card!

    Depends on the type of Co perhaps but I think it's a good way to weed out customers that you would just want to fire anyway.
  17. Rigid material such as alumalite for short term use?

    If you did go with an inexpensive polymetal it sure would be nice to be able to be able to mount them without doing any damage. They might let you come remove them when they are done, you could yank off the removable prints and use the panels again.
  18. Rigid material such as alumalite for short term use?

    What about printing on a callendared material with a removable adhesive and slapping it on? It would be cheap, removable any you wouldn't have any damage to the trailer by mounting it. (I know this didn't answer your exact question but still came to mind)
  19. failing laminator

    I will tell you a little trick we used with offset printing rollers, bindery rollers etc.. If your unit has pressure adjustments it can be really hard to determine if one side is tighter than the other... without an instrument to check actual pressure. We used to take a this strip of negative...
