  1. Cold Lamination

    When I lam with 210 I have to pull the backing paper manually by hand. I assist the paper when mounting big panels as well.
  2. Cold Lamination

    psbc, are your prints laminated? I mount 4x8's and 4x10's all the time with very few issues.
  3. rear window perf install price?

    If you didn't produce it? Shop minimum.
  4. Learning to hand letter.

    Again, you are being a jackass. Did I say that I was going to learn it all from a computer? I want to augment the lessons that I will learn with my neighbor with the constructive advice given from everyone else on this thread, videos, books, magazine articles and practice. Maybe you could...
  5. Learning to hand letter.

    Pat, that is so funny that you posted that link; I watched it not 5 minutes ago. I watched his others as well, thanks Pat.
  6. Learning to hand letter.

    Once again with the pissing contest. When someone tells you certain behavior is commonly accepted as abusive and they personally find it abusive then you do have the power to stop that. I tried to backtrack and explain where I was coming from in the second post then again in the third. You...
  7. Convex Vinyl

    As well as the convex being known for it's adhesion to low energy plastics the laminate is supposed to be super resistant to abrasion. We have had 3651 not stick well to construction hardhats, prob makes a big difference if they are new or not.
  8. Just another new guy!

    That's $455 plus materials and material markup not counting design. That is a mighty fine coroplast sign. (Laughing with you not at you) I have a lot of background in printing but like you not much in signage. This forum will prove invaluable to you as it does to me and you said all of the...
  9. Learning to hand letter.

    Old paint, with all due respect, just about every link that I have ever read on this forum from you comes off as pissy. My subject line did say that I wanted to learn to hand letter, then it clearly stated that really what I was trying to learn to do was handle a brush better, for a few tips...
  10. Learning to hand letter.

    Thanks guys. I also just found 'thehandletteringforum' and 'theletterheads.com'. I have just gotten a peek at each from a web search but the tutorial page that it brought me to seemed chock full of easy to understand and informative examples. All I do is work and I never seem to be able to...
  11. Convex Vinyl

    I don't use it but I know that there are different thicknesses of convex and of the laminate. There are some guys on here that specialize in MX decals, I am sure they will have all the info.
  12. Another hand-lettered piece out the door

    With hand skills like that I am surprised you do anything else. Awesome sign.
  13. Learning to hand letter.

    1st. No, he hasn't. I have been painting with it flattened to a chisel edge. - I dont' get it? I was only trying to answer your comment. Politely. I do not think that I know how to use a quill properly that is why I am asking for help. 2nd. The light gray stroke is printed on coated matte...
  14. Learning to hand letter.

    That being said, do you have any internet resources or tips for me?
  15. Learning to hand letter.

    1st. No, he hasn't. I have been painting with it flattened to a chisel edge. 2nd. The light gray stroke is printed on coated matte poster paper because I am using that as an outline. I was trying to simulate what it might be like doing a repaint that I could see through a coat of light...
  16. Pay for the new guy in the shop.

    Wow Cheapo! That is what a really good designer gets here and our city has almost no unemployment. That is a lot of money for no experience and sweeping up the floor type work. I wish I could afford to pay that right now.
  17. New guy in SoCal

    1. What the customer expects is very nice (for the customer). 2. If you do decide to do an inexpensive job, you should be doing it on a much less expensive material. I don't use any junk but I will do signs on 651 $100 bill or less a roll for 30" x 150'. 3. Just covering expense of material...
  18. Pay for the new guy in the shop.

    Depends on the job competition in your area. If you have lots of folks looking for work at even minimum wage in your area I would still pay a little more, let them know that you are expecting more than minimum. Good luck, hiring for me is always difficult.
  19. Business Cards from GotPrint

    This could be a really useful conversation. I use GP and have been very satisfied with them. That being said, designing like they ask you to and submitting in CMYK does not always produce acceptable results. Most of us use RGB and when you want a sign to match a customers printing it can be...
