  1. Lowballing at it's finest on vans

    Wow, I would charge 3 times that for any of them. I must be a high baller.
  2. Recommended paper for solvent printer?

    Big Fish is on the west coast Colin, ask him for a shipping quote.

    The photo fill might work in a brochure but not in clean, contrasting signage.
  4. serious skillz baby

    I don't even get it, how is this being done?
  5. Since I was called out.......................

    Atomic weight of 65.38 divided by 238lbs, -1 since I had sex with the wife last night as well (not mine). Cold started on the 2nd and has been slow to develop (as all my resources are being directed towards beard growth due to 'No-shave November'), did have a multi vitamin yesterday...
  6. Since I was called out.......................

    How much Zinc does it take to shorten the common cold?
  7. New Script coming soon.

    I love the 't' but how will it look with something like that tall lower case r following directly after it?
  8. What to do with low ball competitors

    Just one of the MDO 4x8's is over $500; What are both of you doing? Quit trying to chase price and relax. Put out great work and customer service and charge for it. This guy will be out of business in two seconds, keep trying to chase his bids and you will be too.
  9. 55" Laminators

    Again I will agree with Pro Color Graphics. My laminator from best DGI is working like a clock. I just ran 56' of 54" wide material with no backing paper and as usual, perfect. I have yet to wrinkle even one print (knock on wood) and it was less than $2.5k I can't imagine that you would ever...
  10. 55" Laminators

    I'ts great that you have success with your Daige but that is the one brand that I have seen sitting unused in shops and or being given away. Seems some have good results with them but they take some finesse.
  11. 55" Laminators

    People will talk all kinds of crap about them but I am loving my 60" master laminator for a little over half of your budget. Many rolls of laminate thru and I have yet to have one single problem on one single print. Also notice that the folks with negative feedback about them don't own one. I...
  12. My Cat

    There is nothing to fess up. You did what needed to be done and tried to spare your family a bit of the pain. I had to shoot our little dog a while back and it about killed me. Did it while the wife was gone, picked up every trace that the dog had ever been here, leashes, bowls, beds, toys...
  13. Rolling Pin for Laminating

    Hair dryer? I don't think that you will get better than the Big Squeegee until you invest in a laminator.
  14. Glueing up a big HDU sign

    Archaic? Foot powered or power? I saw some guys doing stone inlay with foot powered saws, it was awesome wort too. Do you use anything else to bond the steel to the foam for the address portion? How are you carving your letters, it doesn't look like you have a router? Very nice sign. I...
  15. Fired My First Customer Today

    I think that the sign looks way better than the banner that you hung but not as good as your bike wrap.
  16. Print and cut on same machine

    I never wait a few hours before contour cutting on printed vinyl. I do however wait 24 hours before laminating prints, I then reload and contour cut. I have an XC-540 and am pleased with it; that being said, if I had tons of room and a little more volume in my shop I would rather have them...
  17. Fonts not to use?

    I think that a lot of fonts are disliked by designers because they become overused and common; often times they become overused and common because they are visually stimulating, attractive, legible.... I have used papyrus, copperplate, brush script and even comic sans in what I felt were very...
  18. How long can you laminate a print?

    I have what is supposed to be a cheapo 60" laminator. I was never taught how to use it just watched a video on youtube. It doesn't have a powered take up for the finished job so I have someone roll it on a tube on a folding table behind the unit. I am careful to use the alignment marks/rulers...
  19. Medicine Show banner

    Really like the banner. Don't quite understand the wording 'Snake oil & arthritis remedy', a remedy for snake oil?... Fun old time look to be sure.
  20. Size compensation

    I try and compensate with oil and soothing music. If that doesn't work there is always the "Hey look there's a bird!".
