I went ahead and picked everything up today. I am not ignoring everyone's advice, but I got a great deal... I basically got the printer for free just to get it out of the guy's garage. I needed the plotter and on top of that I got the Onyx RIP so I'm not losing any money. I might as well see if...
Well the package is the Falcon, onyx rip with dongle, and the sc-850d cutter. So I guess my next question would be what is the cutter and rip worth, if I'm basically paying for the cutter and rip and getting the printer free I'll feel good about the deal. Then if the printer works that will be...
I have been looking for a bigger printer to handles things I can't do on my Edge, and I came across a great deal on a Falcon Outdoor Jr and a Mutoh 30" plotter. The plotter works great, and the printer turns on and doesn't show any issues, but it doesn't have any ink in it to see if it prints...
That is a Pierce truck, and judging by the contour cut in the clear (you can barely see it) that is a Pierce factory lettering job. That is real gold encapsulated in vinyl, and it appears to be one of Pierce's fonts. You most likely will not find a match.
I am working on a fire truck redo and the customer is requesting Sign Gold (I will be using Real Gold brand). I have always done the standard gold leaf striping with black borders that is sold in rolls, and then I go back and add a vinyl pinstripe below. When I went to measure this truck, I...
Many people here have given me great advice and tons of help, but he has gone above and beyond many times to help me out. When others would laugh and make fun and not give any helpful advice, I would almost always get a great response out of John that pointed me in the right direction. I...
It has its bad days but all in all it is a very reliable, hard working machine. It is the only printer I have so it gets used quite a bit. Even when I upgrade to a bigger printer I will still be running the Edge a lot for most of the fire department work I do.
So I decided to start dressing mine up a little bit last night. The biggest reason was because I needed to unwind after a long day of making wraps for cheerleaders megaphones... but it also gave me a chance to play with a couple of the BD Sign Supply Fills. Between this and a few more panels I...
I have been using the RealGold brand vinyl. Supposedly the guy that invented Sign Gold separated from the company, made the product better and started this company. So far the service and the products I have ordered from them have been awesome. They have a specific thermal printable material...
At first I figured this was not a font, but then I noticed it was done in Sign Gold... so it was either digitized or this font actually exists. Any ideas? ("FIRE COMPANY" is what I'm looking for)
Thank you for all the great advice! A very kind member on this site went above and beyond and mailed some brushes to me. As soon as I get them I am going to go straight to work practicing. I guess I should have put a little bit more background information in my original post. As some of you may...

I found this set from Letterhead Sign Supply. Is this a decent starter set for the money? It comes with the book and the brush box which I thought was pretty cool.
I'm willing to bet you won't find a font to match that exactly... it may help to be a little more descriptive as far as what you are trying to accomplish so that people can try to help you with what you need.
I was looking through some pictures on the internet of historic American LaFrance fire trucks and there was some talk of the styles of lettering and graphics that were unique to the company. Recently American LaFrance ceased operations and all the assets were auctioned off. I saw where some...
I'd like to see some pictures of the printed silver also. I'm trying to wrap my mind around it and I think pictures would help! I found white metallic made by Avery, I wonder how well this would work?

signspot- No Problem! I think that's what Signs101 is all about, helping each other out and sharing ideas. I have actually heard customers say their gold leaf lettering was reflective also, but they were mistaking the natural reflective qualities of turned gold for "reflective" material. Your...
It seems like I am constantly being asked for a more cost effective alternative to hand laid gold or RealGold vinyl. I have always refused to put the imitation gold vinyl on fire trucks because it just doesn't hold up, so that isn't an option. So the only other solution I could think of for this...
