Pretty much everything that bob said ... but ... This. most brick molding is laminated stock and is extremely high quality for stretchers that won't warp with time or humidity. It's pretty hefty on the wallet as most places sell by the linear foot ... but worth it. So if you are going for a...

I got a 2 tb portable hard drive for $90 instead of $160 ... so yeah ... there were a few ... just in the odd places. Funny enough, at noon on friday I was the first person to ask for one since everyone else was going for stupid stuff like headphones. I miss black friday from 6 or 7 years...

You know, I don't really mind the "BUTTE SANDS" typeface in there, probably a little bit of crispness to that and it's quite nice ... especially since the mountains at the top are a little rough ... adds a little continuity. an oval designed crest would almost be ideal for a design so you...

Can't believe I missed this one. I really don't know the grey area here ... the purist in me screams don't reproduce it identically if he didn't pay that last guy for his design work and get it free and clear. (i also make people sign a release that they own the artwork since most people think...

I would normally photograph or scan the surface, but just like any sort of special template ... accurate measurements and drafting skills will help no matter the program. So whether it's a cell phone, an atv shell or a custom camera case ... the best programs won't help if your measurements are...

Facebook is a place of sharing ... but really, how many of the silly things people share do you click on? If it's by a company, if it's not about the company or something they are doing ... I almost never click on it. Most people don't give a flying hoot about education into the process of a...

Having a talk with an employee helps because sometimes they aren't aware people are irked at them nor are they aware they are doing something ... habits aren't sometimes visible to the person doing it. Do a performance correction ... if he's actually asking questions, get him in the habit of...

I use 3m edge prep and edge sealer on just about every odd vinyl job I have. it's just a tool to add to the longevity of the material. Doesn't matter if it's digital, calendared or cast cut vinyl, reflective, wrapping vinyl, etc, etc. 3m has edge prep and edge sealer, edge prep is when...

if you have undercuts in the welds or pockets for the air, you're never going to get those out unless you pop them. I don't just because if you pre-plan your graphics and use an edge prep on the welds ... it won't come up anyways. the most I might do is if they are the size of a lollipop stick...

That would take the fun out of it though, don't you think player? I mean give the guy a sporting chance, One shot, One kill and serious limp. :peace!:

This is where profits come from. If a job uses a specialty roll, you charge for that roll knowing there is left over material but it might NOT get used ... someone comes in with something requiring transluscent ... you still charge for materials used since if they become a regular user of that...

Welcome to the board. Can't really give you any tips since I don't know anything about your shop or what you are looking to do .. but do your research, if you're going to print ... spend the money on a good RIP, it will save you money in the long run ... and expect to double the space you...

Unless the ink used is a UV aqueous (long since replaced as the standard because of solvent) even the best UV lam for aqueous will cause fading in a short time in the sun. Now ... any of the effects that liquid would do ... no ... and if it's going outside ... print with solvent, even the...

This. If you want a turn key shop you need to be able to have someone that you trust to be you. If not, your shop has to be full of people you then trust to do their own work and not cost you money ... being as how 90% of people who are employees will only do the minimum in if the boss is away...

they make a felt application squeegee for things like that ... a little heat (or a hotter day) and time can get you past the welds without air bubbles, if you're worried about it coming up off the weld ... did you use edge prep?

ponce pattern would be the best since it's easy to prepare, and easy to see ... probably the way any sane person would go ... are you wanting the mask so you can spray the lettering without a bleed and getting into the texture? if so, just do a ponce pattern, go around the edges with tape (easy...

Thanks for the replies guys, I will start with the first one ... I love you too Addy Thanks for looking at the pocket design (the biohazard) ... I love to see your skills at reading have improved. My original idea was the eagle holding the rifle and the eagle to be more complex (life like...

Welcome to the board and good luck. It's always fun jumping into things without having any previous experience. Just try to have a thick skin on here ... people are callous (sometimes for good reason).

There are scabs everywhere. Just because they buy the equipment doesn't mean they are competition even in the slightest. I have no idea how many times someone comes in saying they bought a printer, a plotter, a screen press, whatever and are going to take over business in Amarillo ... they...

As this is a logo, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to buy it since it's their brand. If you contact them you can probably find out their liscensing rates ... but judging from the size of the company they probably won't know where to start on that for a one off job.
