Hi Folks - I have just finished up all lettering and the graphics on a Handi-bus and the client now wants window perf on the rear window and also partially down the top section of all the 16 side windows. Will this pose any problems only doing the top third of the glass? Do I need to seal that...

Hi and Happy New Year. I am doing a 4x16 ft sign on vinyl coated .081 aluminum that I would like to use both printed graphics and cut vinyl on. I also want to hand letter some portions of the design with 1shot enamel. Does anyone know if I need to prime the vinyl for the 1shot first, or can I...

A client sent me this link to show me what he wants on the back of his new yacht. It looks like "Captain John" has a font that is "borrowed" from our friend Steve at A&S.

Ok, I've wasted a full hour trying to ID this script. 3500 typefaces and no match? Does anyone here recognize this beauty?

There's a young fella who has a barber shop up the road from me who stopped by to ask about getting a sign done for a friend of his who is a hot rod enthusiast and has old gas pump collection. After talking a bit I suggested he do it himself. He had never painted a sign before but felt he'd like...

I recently read a thread where someone described how to re-activate the painting tools in Corel Photopaint. I tried a search but couldn't find a reference. I can't seem to get any of the brushes or airbrushes to work. The eraser tool works. I'm sure it's just a setting, but I can't seem to...

For some mysterious reason the cutcontours on my sp300 have shifted 3/8" over to the right. I'm printing then cutting mcvp without removing to laminate. The encoder strip seems clean. I did env match and lightened the cut pressure as was mentioned in the search results I was able to find, but...

After scanning a gazillion fonts in 3 different computers I give up. Anybody recognize either of these typefaces. I thought the red text might be peignot but apparently not. The music fest font I have no idea. Any help greatly appreciated.

This was in my morning email.

Last year I built a sign, (not my logo design or lettering choice) for a local resort using red and yellow cedar. We used Cetol Marine and Cetol Marine Gloss topcoat clear by Sikkens for the finish. I have lots of signs in the area using this product and it holds up for years. The resort owner...

I'd like to give a big shout-out and best wishes for a speedy recovery to stevec, whose wonderful typefaces help beautify the planet. I spent last week routing and carving a couple sign faces for a strata corp and I got to use some of the new fonts I bought from Steve. Here's a shot showing the...

Hi guys. A friend just acquired a HP Designjet Z3100 for an unrefusable price. He has it set up and working. He is a very talented photographer and will be using it for his own prints. Anybody here have experience with these? Is it good for any signshopish printing tasks? I have an sp300 that I...

I want to use my Daige as a prawn trap anchor and there is a Royal Sovereign RSC 1400c listed in an upcoming equipment auction. Anybody here have a rough guess as to value, or what to look for in a used machine? Is this a decent laminator for pairing with my sp300? It's gotta be a step up from...

I plan on replacing my current dinosaur computer monitors, two 22"screens on either side of a 19" screen, with 3 brand new high tech space saving flat screen units. What do I need to ask for when I order them from my computer tech? Does aspect ratio mess up design dimensions like my 52" TV...

We recently downloaded the trial version of graphixcalc and pretty much have decided to puchase a copy for our home based sign biz. The only issue I've come across is the drop down boxes where you enter Location. Under the heading, 'State/Province', the dropdown options show States only. When I...

3 computers, half an hour searching, nuthin' even close......

Hi Folks - I had an unusual customer request yesterday. He is restoring a '76 Ranchero Squire for some reason. I guess 'cos it has a big block and that can make just about any car fun... Anyway he wondered if I could either source out a supplier for wood grain vinyl to wrap the plastic trim...

I can't seem to find a match for this typeface in my computers. Any help would be greatly appreciated folks. Thanks for looking.

I letter new boats for a yacht factory. Mostly in cut cast vinyl and on the odd occasion hand lettered. They now are building a boat for a client who wants Gold Leaf and the name set in University Roman. The boat sails on Friday. I've never done gold leaf myself so I ordered some real gold...
