  1. Ink fade on clear? How to...

    Hi All! How do I do a fade like this so the bottom is clear when printed on clear window cling? Would I need to use a halftone screen?
  2. Another font to identify!

    Anyone know this font? I can't find it, I thought for sure it would be an easy one!
  3. Do you give customers little samples with their orders?

    Every time I order from Sticker Mule I get free hot sauce and a bunch of little stickers - I love it! I used to give can coozies and recently started giving American Flag stickers and a business card magnet with every order that I just put with the invoice. Sometimes if a customer orders Gildan...
  4. Salesperson from large company trying to steal clients?

    I just got pretty snippy with a salesperson from a larger commercial printer about 30 miles away (35 employees). I am a one-person shop. She was first asking if I ever needed any large format printing done or high volume. I said sometimes and asked if they do wholesale pricing. She said no -...
  5. Hand Painted Vintage Race Cars - very few left

    I went to the Elkhart Lake Vintage Night Friday. They have about 120 vintage race cars that line up in the downtown area then they "start their engines" and drive around the town and back out. It's really a cool thing, thousands of people and the ground shakes. Anyway, I touched almost all the...
  6. Ford Explorer Door Handle HELP!

    Piggly backing off my other post....So, I got the police car 2023 Ford Explorer handles off and I wrapped the side successfully (thank goodness!) now to remove side one and rewrap. I can't get the handles back on from side two!! I watched a video on how to remove but he didn't say how to get...
  7. Does all 3M have markings on the backing paper?

    So, I accidently bought 3M IJ35 and not the 3M IJ35C - there are no markings on the backing paper indicating it is 3M and it jammed my printer up 4 times within 8 feet! The backing paper seems to have a wax or something on it so I'm thinking it's sticking to the bottom. I chatted with a rep...
  8. Converting colors CMYK

    I'm trying to match ink colors for shirts. They send me a vector file with CMYK. The colors look weird. I convert it to RGB - they still look weird. She said it's purple and light blue. They look purple and teal. I asked if they had a Pantone color I could quick match to. She has her designer...
  9. Looking for Pesticide Signs 2-300 small with stakes

    Never ordered these before so I'm looking for some ideas. Do most people do the UV gloss 2 sided paper with the little slide in stake? Or coroplast with a single stake - I can't find a wholesaler that cuts them small enough. Looking for probably 4"x4" or 5"x5" Something like this?
  10. Need 5 - 18" blank circles cut from .030 Polystyrene

    Is anyone able to do this and ship them to me in a mailing tube? I need them next week. Thank you for looking!
  11. Stand offs

    I recently made a sign for a church and they wanted to install it themselves - which was fine. However, they used stand offs and they are stainless steel and right in the middle of black so they stick out like a sore thumb. What can I suggest to fix this? Nail polish? A vinyl wrap over the top...
  12. Can't find this font

    Checked on What the Font - no luck for either of these
  13. Problems adding colors to swatch bar

    I got a new computer and reloaded Flexi. Now I can't drag and drop colors to the swatches! I can't move colors from one swatch to another. I create a color then click and drag it to the swatch bar and the mouse disappears or goes all crazy and it will NOT let me drop it in. I've tried all the...
  14. Coroplast Sign Stake Options

    The school district wants 200 yard signs but they don't like the metal sign stakes. I've never used anything else except the metal economy or heavy duty. Has anyone used the spider stakes and do they last longer? They complain the metal ones bend too much.
  15. Local ads on this forum?

    How do the ad's work on this forum? I just saw one of my customers local ads. I guess it surprised me...I'm not saavy with this kind of thing. Obviously I've seen a million things that I google throughout the day but was surprised to see a local company!
  16. Vinyl for steel tanker for asphalt

    I have to put the company name on a tanker that will never get washed and only used twice a year. The tank is steel - not stainless and used for asphalt. I'm wondering if I can just use Oracal 751 on this?
  17. Half lettered trucks sold rant

    Nothing irritates me more than someone selling their work vehicle and they don't remove the lettering. The new guy takes off JUST ENOUGH so the name isn't on it but the tag lines are - this makes the old business look BAD!!!!! Just drove in and saw "The Glass Gurus" old van running around with...
  18. Where should logo go on passenger side?

    I hate this...is there a standard rule for this on the passenger side? I have some customers who like it left, some right. What is the sign world standard, or is it simply a case by case basis?
  19. Prep this for vinyl or cut new?

    I did not make this sign but I know it's only been up for less than a year...out of business, new business in now and I had planned to remove this vinyl and apply new - it's not vinyl, it's paint. They must've used a stencil becuase I can feel a slight edge around all the letters. The back is...
  20. Banner for "Blind Volleyball" need advice on construction

    So, I need to make a sponsor banner to cover the volleyball court net. Size would be 96" tall x 38' wide, 2 sided. I'm attaching a photo of what I'm thinking. The sponsors might change yearly so we were going to print on the first year then put decals over them following years if sponsors...
