Ok, guys, here is a scenario for you... A customer walks into your shop, and says that they want a vinyl decal on the back of their car. They say they have a layout, and pull out a thumbdrive with the artwork on it. You plug it into your computer, and it comes up as a pdf, but it is a title...

Have you guys seen the new Avery Catalog? I guess they decided to try to update their image, but I couldn't help notice one of their "completed" photos. They have the photo of the bike tank, and the graphics on it are obviously photo shoped on. :doh: You would think that they would use real...

Hey guys. I have Corel X3 running on Windows XP, and I go out this morning and try to start it to cut some vinyl, and I get an error message: "valid workspace file not found at the path specified". I click the ok box, and it pops up again, and then when I click the ok box, the opening...

The "cycle creations"... I can't seem to find it... Either the C is off, the a, or the t... Thanks in advance,

I got a call from a customer on Friday, and he is looking for a pinup girl for his boat. I did a search, but didn't come up with anything. Is there anyone that can I could sub this out to? Or somewhere i could purchase a disk of vector art. Thanks

I hate asking this, mainly because I hate Avery, but does anyone know of a replacement of the true shadow vinyl? I'm looking for some for a project that I will be working on, and Avery has discontinued the material. TIA, Mark

I have this layout and the customer wanted something "bright" to catch attention on the side of a busy highway. I suggested black letters on a yellow board (this is going to be 8' x 4' x 10 mm yellow coro), and they thought it would be a good idea... so I came up with a couple of ideas...

Hey guys, I have a client that is asking for some small decals to put onto their portable propane tanks. They got some from a competitor, and they are not happy that they peel right off... Is there a material that can be digitally printed that has a very aggressive adhesive? I was looking...

I had a customer send me this one, and I can't get her to understand that she is sending me bitmap images, and not vector... (she sends me artwork for banners for a high school drama club every once in a while, and there are no problems with those files...) Thanks in advance, Mark

Does all the rolls of Oracal come with the grid pattern and name on the backing? All I use is oracal material, and I have a couple of rolls that have just plain white backing. No big deal, until I get a roll, and notice that its shrinking... The roll is only a couple of months old, and now...

Just got this e-mailed to me... Guess you can fix just about everything with duct tape...:ROFLMAO:

Hey guys, I have QB pro 2005, and I think I need to set it up more for its potential... at least to give me a profit / loss margin. I know it's too late to do it for previous years, but I want to try to implement something for this year moving forward... Here are a list of fixes that I...

Hey, guys. I'm in need of a D punch for some sockets for a sign that I will start building next week. I don't have one, and I can't seem to find a supplier. I've tried NGlantz, and they don't carry them anymore... Or if anyone knows where I could get some alum for a raceway that is already...

I was looking on amazon, about to purchase the Engineering Sign Structures by Ben Jones, and I noticed there is another book, Sign Structures and Foundations: A Guide for Designers and Estimators, by Peter Horsley. Anyone have both books, and do they have one that they could recommend over the...

I got of the phone with the local zoning board, and I'm ready to beat my head on a brick wall... I understand that you have to limit the size of the signs in a city, but I have a client that wants a sign out of city limits, so the county is in charge of setting the regs... They told me that...

Hey guys. I have a customer that is looking to add a vandal resistant face to an existing sign cab't? The cab't is a typ. 3 1/2" thick alum extrustion with pan faces. Its mounted between (2) steel posts (thin enough to allow the retainer to be removed to slid the faces out for service)...

Does anyone know where I could find the older Z71 logo? I have been on BOTW, and googled it, and found all the late model logos, but nothing from the older stuff... Thanks, Mark

I posted the following image up on What The Font.com and I got told that the font is Adobe Garamond Italic, and that brings the question up... I have Garamond Italic, and it's close, but not right... So is there really an Adobe font that is that much different? Thanks, Mark

My brother in law called, and he is upgrading his rv, and the decals on it are peeling, and he called me to see if I can do it... The problem that I'm running into is the company is no longer in business. I have tried google, botw.com, and importing a logo that I found on google (in bmp...

Any merchant members on the east coast who offer wholesale ul sign cabinets? Or does anyone who I can go to? Thanks, Mark
