You can't drag and drop them in from the folder (not through "file>add to queue")? Guess I've been spoiled by VersaWorks 6, it's been ages since we've used Dual. I don't think you can shift- or ctrl- click them...

I think they do this on purpose, like the other cat fishing scams - I get the feeling they don't want suspicious or savvy people to answer at all, only people who are genuinely easy to fool.

Yeah their cast products usually have "control tac" written all over them (or if it's 1080 I think it has "wrap film" written on it) One time we got a wrap install job printed out-of-house and pretty sure it was that stuff. Our poor installer had to try and cram it over rivets, it was an ugly day.

Yeah this ^ I should have clarified, we've done this both ways. Directly on a wall it would be probably better to install the letters in between the vinyl, not on it. Remove vinyl after. We haven't ever had problems with cut (orofol 651) on alupanel, but if you had lo tack for a painted wall...

Yeah we've forgotten the template from Gemini before. If it's just double-sided tape, we just did a black or white cut vinyl and applied that first, and then applied the letters right on top. No problem at all, and easier than paper in my opinion.

Yeah we had one last month too. It was our first one but we knew something was up, so Google saved the day for us figuring out how the scam worked.

I've used a 3M 1080 and haven't had an issue - except when we forgot to take the front film off before cutting letters. That was a mistake. Not cheap though, since it's a cast wrap film.

Even with a non-useable proof, we have people steal our designs.. Got a quote, got a proof, and then they cancel... and I see a very similar design on a vehicle or window that another company re-made. We don't often get to the design stage without a deposit, but it does happen sometimes with...

Yep, snipping tool, same thing. It's good enough detail to see a proof.

We source to a local printer, we simply can't beat their prices and we don't get enough requests to purchase a roll. However, if it's a one-off poster or a really easy size we might throw it nested into one of our jobs if there's room in the margin. Or on waste vinyl. Maybe apply it to...

https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1193340O/install-prep-for-low-voc-painted-walls.pdf Low VOC paint might have something to do with it. I've attached a link there with info. Sometimes we just chuck a small bit of our wall vinyl of choice (usually Avery 2611 for us) and watch for failure...

We always send a pre-made template that I made with all the info on it, date, etc, and artwork - and only send rasterized artwork. Honestly I just plop the vectors in and raster before I save up. It's also got the typical sign-off space and you know, "spelling is your responsibility" etc. on it...

Us too, Titan for everything. But we have a really good workspace for it.

Our shop generally does signage and commercial vehicle graphics and wraps, but occasionally we get folks in doing colour changes etc. But recently, we're getting call after call about chrome delete and black wraps on chrome emblems and trim. Almost daily requests. Why the big popularity now...

I'm not super familiar with corel, but I imagine it must have a "type on path" function where you can have a round path set up? I find if I have type and I warp it to an arc or something, it's not as effective as typing on a path.

I used to work in an escape room setting, and most of our labels were "There is nothing in or behind this picture frame" or similar. I took a few to stick around malls or waiting rooms to make people suspicious.

Hi!

Hahaha, no but we have a few neighbouring communities that we feel that way about :D

Hey folks, just saying hi. I'm a longtime lurker and admirer of all the experience in these forums - it's the first place I check when something funky happens in our shop. I work for a sign franchise in Halifax, NS Canada, and I've been thoroughly enjoying my transition from traditional...
