  1. Printing on Oracal 651, white vinyl...

    Not sure about the surface difference. Idealy it doesn't really matter since if he's looking at a 6mo or less vinyl job, 651 will be passable for that sort of a job. I just know I wouldn't use it on anything that needs to be 100% professional looking for a long time.
  2. Trailer sign

    That will be some odd cuts there bro-hymn. if you feel like dumping out twice the cost practically for a 4x10 or 5x10 sheet (can't remember) you're gonna have some ugly seems at the top or bottom of whatever you do. As for the panels, I would probably go with alumacore probably to add some...
  3. Looking for used screen printing equipment

    This dude hasn't even been logged into the site for almost a month now. It's safe to assume he doesn't care about this thread anymore.
  4. Printing on Oracal 651, white vinyl...

    From what I could tell, even when cleaning the vinyl beforehand the 651 she was trying to print with kept getting these random pin pricks of ink seperation ... looked a lot like when you drop milk into coffee for the first time ... oh well. We also tried printing on a clear for a sample for a...
  5. Printing on Oracal 651, white vinyl...

    My wholesaler tried about 4 months to get 651 to be printable (on those days they were slow enough to be wasting ink to keep the heads going clean) ... never did get them to take ink 100% accurately or to last a long time ... heck, laminate cost more than the vinyl so that is a waste right...
  6. Finding the Right RED

    So, let me get this right ... you're looking for an almost primary red using multiple colors to produce a secondary red and it's not coming out exact? Pretty much the only way to make an non 'tomatoe' red in inkjet is to involve a spot color, pretty much everything else will become quite...
  7. Daughter Teaches Father Facebook Lesson!!

    Dude, what the heck is up with the accessories on the bed? Talk about major hoax ... can't have a serious attempt at a fake video for exposure if your web cam session is still out.
  8. Reflective Lettering Lifting

    And is there a reason you didn't use an edge sealer on the part where you cut the letter and wrapped it around the edge of the door?
  9. digitally printed vinyl lifting off drywall issue.

    +1 ... flat wall paint won't let a damn thing stick to it. Let alone semigloss can sort of have those issues if the paint is more on the 'eggshell' finish or cheaper brand which uses calcium carbonate (chalk) to remove glossyness. also, your heat gun is known by another name ... paint stripper...
  10. Business Naming

    I would get both like others have said. And damn addy, good posts.
  11. should I come back after lunch?

    I wouldn't say that genericname ... I went to UCF, fullsail was always an option but the $32k for 2 years of school was a little insane. With that much cash invested in such specific schooling, sign shops are the only ones paying enough to cover loans. That and it's better than being a barista.
  12. Recent UPS delivery problems.

    I hate UPS with a passion. For over 2 decades I've hated them and it grows with every destroyed item, every missing shipment and every damaged box I get. (or don't) Still don't know what happened to 2 packages that got shipped for christmas. Really I won't go fully into the tirade again ...
  13. should I come back after lunch?

    Probably this diesel. http://youtu.be/niAraSq1JTw
  14. new logo idea

    Alrighty, since it looks to be like one of 'those' threads ... I'll cut to the chase since I probably won't respond to this one again. My first question is .. Did you even put pencil to paper yet and do some sketching on these 'designs'? Just honestly ask yourself that ... I really don't care...
  15. Another 'Sign Shop' just offered to let me buy him out.

    As Pat said, you need to have an actual company that can run and sustain itself or have something of longevity and value that can only be gained by time (a 65 year BBB rating of A+ with not incidents for example) Franchises will in itself be valued since it has a built in support structure from...
  16. Father teaches daughter a lesson about Facebook

    Makes me wonder too ... what does missile defense have to do with his kid. I call shenanigans! http://tinyurl.com/7v4dpvd
  17. new logo idea

    No. http://www.123rf.com/photo_9555282_wild-boar-head-in-cartoon-style-as-a-tattoo-or-mascot.html Don't use clipart and/or stock art in a logo. I like the idea, the top one is the best ... font sucks for the "Hog Wild" Make your own font or go with something like Wicked Queen from blambot...
  18. new logo idea

    O_o I suppose that would work ... all you would need is an outline and you just have yourself your own version of a jesus fish.
  19. A few logo concepts

    The "Patterson" and "Trucking are at 2 different angles of skewing ... pretty simple, but one question ... is the trucking going one way and the truck the other way? so basically the question people will as is if the truck is (in essence) going backwards, how is the actual act of "trucking"...
  20. So.. This car

    bow chicka bow wow. I like it, the smoke is a little too heavy imo but i like the colors, i would try to accent the layered plates though, make them stand out more.
