  1. Help on a HUGE full color tribal job ATTN. Wholesalers

    I'm with Jim Doggett. Print it and hand trim it. it's not intricate at all, anyone with a somewhat steady hand could hand trim that easily. If you can't print it yourself, outsource it to Merritt and have them panel it and print it and ship it to you, then just lay it out on the floor or table...
  2. Shane Durnfords new site is up. Prepare to be humbled....big time.

    Shane is the master of knowing when enough is enough. I've never seen anyone so capable of creating such dimension and contrast in a sign while using an incredibly limited color pallet as he often does.
  3. Help on a layout. Give me your opinion please

    I completely agree with SignManiac, the "E" and "S" don't look right. I also don't like the broken line under "appletown", which IMO also looks awkward being caps and lowercase. His redesign I think hits the nail on the head for the main copy, but I like your scalloped lower corners.
  4. OH Engineer needed for permit drawings

    I've got a good engineer here in Dayton, PM me if you want the contact info
  5. "Problems" with printing on translucent material.

    The right way to do it (albeit also the challenging way) is as has already been said. Two prints layered. The bottom print should be on clear vinyl. I recommend printing this layer with two ink passes. The top print should be on translucent white, just a single ink layer. The colors will be...
  6. problem with Onyx

    Have you tried ripping old .tiff files that you know have worked in the past, or just new .tiff files? I'm wondering if something is corrupt with the file and non Onyx...
  7. Cant Print Dark Colors

    Eek. What is that color supposed to be? Do all dark colors look like this? Is it only happening on this particular Avery vinyl or others as well? From that picture it looks almost like an ink starvation issue.
  8. A little help on a bus wrap price....please

    Sounds a little low to me. We just did a 36' RV with way fewer windows for closer to $8000.
  9. How honest are you?

    Dear lord that's funny.
  10. How honest are you?

    So you agree that you will talk down to someone with a different focus (and are doing so currently)? I know what every single thing in your list is or does. I can use them all. I'm a master at some, okay at some, a total newbie at some.I could survive indefinitely without electricity. That...
  11. How honest are you?

    I keep re-reading this and I can't figure it out. Are you talking down to people that don't have the same focus or "dedication to the craft" as you? What are you asking here? What response are you looking for? Are you just trying to boost your ego or are you legitimately griping about...
  12. Five or more Pantone colours

    Spend another $10k in equipment and time to build dead on perfect profiles to get you 97% there. Then accept that you cannot and will not ever, under any circumstances, match every PMS color in the book on a 4-color, 6-color, 8-color etc. printer, be it an inkjet, offset or lightjet. Process...
  13. Wholesale Tradeshow

    +1. Creative Banner has some decent things and some okay pricing, but we've had extremely bad luck with the quality of their products, mostly their retractable banner stands.... Telescoping poles that won't stay locked up, regular poles with frayed/broken bungees, top clips that hold the top bar...
  14. Wholesale Tradeshow

    Orbus all the way.
  15. Fellers POPup

    We started using Fellers POPup material a month or so ago, we've sent about 25 banner stands out the door using it. On all of them, we used the regular POPup material, waited a minimum of 24 hours to laminate, and laminated with Lamex 3 mil luster embossed polycarb laminate (the same as we have...
  16. "It's my fault that your account was overdrafted?"

    If they balanced their checkbook properly and budged for the $90 draft correctly it wouldn't have mattered if you cashed it immediately or a year later. We've heard that one more than a few times...
  17. Caveat Emptor: (Thinking of buy Wasatch Softrip?)

    I won't argue with that, you have to do what you have to do, even if you're backed into a corner.
  18. Caveat Emptor: (Thinking of buy Wasatch Softrip?)

    That right there is the point of this. I'm in business to make money. If it costs me nothing but a few minutes to help out a paying customer in need, even if it's against the grain of what I "should" do or what my corporate policy is, I will do whatever I can to assist him. By doing so, in the...
  19. Caveat Emptor: (Thinking of buy Wasatch Softrip?)

    That's not really in the same universe as what we're talking about here... I don't deny it was his responsibility to back his system up, of course, and in an ideal world he would have and none of this would be an issue. In the real world, unfortunately, things don't always go like they should...
