  1. Signs of the Times - Contest Winners Announced

    http://www.signweb.com/ Congrats to many I know here!
  2. Quality Installers?

    I have always had trouble finding quality installers here in our area, and now we need to add another one to our staff (full time employee) here. We have one full time installer and a few quality sub-contractors currently, but the demand seems to be outweighing the labor supply and those...
  3. Cartoon Charactors?

    I have a customer request for their plow truck fleet; they want different cartoon charactors for each truck... and they want them to be "snow themed". We told them we'd see what we can do, but does anyone have any clip art cartoon charactors that may work? I'm looking for around 5-10 different...
  4. Leo's Gold Lion

    I'm not sure how many other shops out there use Leo's products often; but you might want to pick up a roll if you have customers who use their proprietary products like Smart Gold. Since...... they are CLOSING DOWN in a week!!! Also, do NOT purchase their "cracked ice" as they no longer make...
  5. Font help?

    Looking for this font, I don't think we have it here... Similar to machine, but a lot wider and lighter.
  6. Sharing - Eldorado Aerotech Transport Bus Template

    I could not find a template of this exact bus model, so I drew this one up from photos taken by our sales person. It is set up at 1/20 scale, but may not be 100% perfect... I was only going off of certain measurements provided and doing the rest to scale tracing the photos, but it should work...
  7. Chevrolet Avalanche Hood Print Size?

    I have a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche arriving here on Thursday to have the wrap we designed installed. However, the hood in my template is not the easiest to measure for a panel size. I would love to do the hood as one piece (as the rest is set up to print as a "seamless" wrap); but cannot decide...
  8. What The Harrisville?

    It looks a bit like Triplet, but is fatter in different areas... Anyone know what font it is? I don't recall ever seeing it.
  9. Waiting in-between panels?

    On one of the Mimaki's here (JV3-130SPII) the machine waits between panels for you to hit the Enter button before it starts printing the next panel or job that you send to it. It doesn't display an error, just the heat settings on the screen. It's been that way for a while and is a PITA; having...
  10. Font help

    I'm looking for the font used in this logo. I can't seem to locate it, and the image is too low res to work in the identification software...
  11. SP-540V Printing Issues

    A buddy is having troubles with his Roland, the lines look cross-contaminated to me, as both look the same color of yellow-orange. The test prints are showing major issues also. The customer just recently had two different techs out to do service on the machine a month ago. One put in new...
  12. Vector Logo Locating

    I know most people here are aware of Brands of the World, etc, but if you cannot find it there - many times vector formats of logos are available on the internet embedded in PDF files. First, find out the website of the company that you're looking for. Then, do a Google Search. Type in...
  13. FC8000, CM3, Mark Scan Errors...

    Up until recently we've been doing all of our large format cutting of prints by manually aligning the tool with the origin point. However, we would like to start using Cutting Master 3 with our Graphtec FC8000-160 to achieve more accurate cuts. I have installed Cutting Master 3, upgraded the...
  14. Partial Wrap, your thoughts?

    We completed this wrap today for a customer. They gave us VERY little to work with; just said they wanted it eye catching. What do you think? Pictures are on our facebook: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.561164990561325.127982.115086121835883&type=1&l=a1519525e4
  15. New 3M Mystery Material?

    Background: Our graphics/sign company is also the graphics division of another fleet sales company. We sell in 3 states, and do warranty work on the vehicles as needed. Yesterday, our CFO went to a shop in Northern OH, to procure them for warranty repair work up there (5+ hour drive from our...
  16. Illustrator - Unable to save the file?

    I spent a couple hours yesterday working on a complex file, I saved it a couple times yesterday during the process, but when I went to save it again it started saving, then brought up a pop-up that said something like "Unable to save the file". I thought, no big deal, I'll hide the layer and hit...
  17. Chrome Vinyl for Vehicles?

    I've been making signs for 5 years now, however I've never had a request for Chrome vinyl... Today, a local installer (who sells his own jobs; we do the design & print for him) received a request for chrome vinyl for dump truck doors. What material would you recommend using?
  18. Ambulance Wrap Project

    We just wrapped an ambulance for the local Hospice, to give the patients a more inviting ride home. They had their in-house artist paint 5 paintings for the inside and 4 paintings for the outside, and we had them scanned in and combined them into the two images you see here. The inside was a...
  19. Looking for something similar

    A client of mine wants a sign with a font similar to the attached image. Can anyone offer an idea? This is a small quickie project; so the cheaper the font the better, or possibly I already have it. I need a good font manager...
  20. Contract Installer Agreement?

    Our contract installer has always treated us fairly, and we treat him well in return. However, we have a few large projects coming up dealing with multiple thousand dollars in payment - much more than the average job he works on here. So, we know we need the terms in writing before we proceed...
