  1. "coming soon" camo

    made a freebie banner for my friends' pub&grill when they were opening... and since this pic just pop'd up on my facebook feed recently, i figured I would share with you guys: and since i'm posting in the design/layouts section, i guess I could add how their logo came-to-be: It is actually...
  2. next project

    friend of ours wants to wrap his ice cream truck with popcorn graphics! new thread to come for the wrap itself, and possibly one for the headache of digging this out and stripping all the old stuff off :rock-n-roll: doubtful that I'm going to find a template for this, just going to make a basic...

  5. A mayonaise jar and two beers

    Chain email i received today... thought I'd pass this on: When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the...
  6. Georgia state of emergency?

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110110/us_nm/us_weather_3 2 inches of snow kills 1 and closes businesses... apparently its also illegal to drive in these "conditions"? LOL! I went to UW-madison and they NEVER closed school for snow. Once had to walk to class after 4 FEET of snow dropped...
  7. Scuff marks on ClearFocus perforated prints

    my Felt squeegee somehow made scuff marks in the direction of my application, looks odd and was curious if anyone has ever encountered this with laminated ClearFocus or other similar perforated projects. tempted to go over the top with a spray laminate or clear matte paint to give it a cleaner...
  8. Lenticular Printing

    Any merchant members offer lenticular printing? (3D prints that "move" as you walk by) ...or anyone with advice how I can make it work on a solvent printer? figure I'd see if there were any merchant members out there before checking out what google has to offer :)
  9. JV3-160 capping station says "Happy Monday!"

    GDI! Come back after a great weekend to find that my Magenta and Cyan caps/screens had come undone (stuck to print heads and move out of place... and then jammed into corners of the capping station) no magenta or cyan on the test prints which means i'm completely clogged/dried up... sure hope...
  10. Calendared + Cast combinations?

    Always been using suggested materials/overlams, and I'm always looking for a less expensive alternative to 3M products, but I'm looking in a catalog that says this calendared white trans. from Oracal (3850) is recommended for use with a CAST overlaminate (290)? i've always heard its possible to...
  11. what do you lube with?

    always been cleaning with WD-40 and lubing with 3-in-1, but was curious what/if anyone uses differently to lube the rail that the carriage travels on. i've noticed if I don't do this, at least, monthly, I randomly get y-current errors and end up wasting material/drying out heads on weekend...
  12. Alucabond - 12' sheets?

    quick question, read below if you don't have a quick answer and want to tell me how I should "just print an MDO or make an aluminum face" or whatever (believe me, I WOULD RATHER.) (although I will still read alternative suggestions, but most likely blow them off.... as my client hasn't wanted to...
  13. Pulled All-Nighter to make the boss happy

    My boss has been riding me for a while to wrap one of our pickup trucks, but never had the time due to other projects and me having to learn how to install 3 print heads on my Mimaki (thanks artbot). Anywho, printer's working PERFECTLY again and soooo I pulled an all-nighter (ok ok, i went to...
  14. Packrat wants to be creative!

    Was curious if there was a way I could get use out of my hundreds of feet of scrap-misprinted vinyls via some sort of a white-out method? for example, spray painting chunks of scrap with a white latex paint? or maybe there's another white, flexible, paint that would do the trick, so that I may...
  15. USMC-vertible rush donation wrap for parade... ugh!

    My grandfather is one of 3 surviving Iwo Jima Marines still living in Wisconsin, so of course he gets to ride in the 4th of July Parade, and of course my father mentions that I can whip up a wrap in no time! And then he tells me that I don't have much time to work on it (half day design/half...
  16. Onyx vs. Flexi - what the hell?

    Been running Onyx ProductionHouse for past 5 years and after upgrading from 6x to 7x, suddenly everything goes haywire. Color profiles don't carry over, leaving me unable to replicate existing prints AND my Magenta seems to be overspraying/bleeding much like a misalignment, but fluctuates in...
  17. Looking to outsource some engraving

    Couldn't find anywhere else I should post this, but I'm looking to outsource a couple of sets of engraved/routed 1/8" thick x 1"tall letters with a metal/laminate finish. Will go up to cast metal soon if I can't find another option, but hoping for something a bit more economic. (individual...
  18. Post 100! Aaaand finally an intro from WI, USA.

    Greetings from the Midwest! Mike from Racine, Wisconsin USA. Just hit the 100 post mark, so I figured it was about time I did an official introduction. 15 years and counting in the sign business (that's including 1year of scrubbing toilets for cash before I was old enough to apply for a work...
  19. Can I revert Onyx back to pre-upgrade?

    Recently upgraded from 6.5 to 7+. Backed up my .prninst and .oml files, but upon upgrading and loading these files... my colors are WAY off, i mean like... orange blacks and purple blues, and cut contour shapes register as a few dots on the cut server. If I fudged the upgrade, is there a...
  20. one way mirror... material. Does it exist?

    Just out of curiosity, friend of mine is opening a bar (for which I'm doing ALL of the signage for) and wants to convert existing mirrors into one-ways. Shy of the perforated materials currently offered (already suggested that), is there a film that can be applied to get the 1-way effect? How...
