  1. Hiking signs

    Has anyone here ever made signs for hiking areas that advise hikers to use their cell phones to take photos of the trail maps in case they get lost? If so, how did you word them?
  2. Oracal 751 and 951 cast vinyl compatability

    So, we had talked to our Oracal rep a while back and we were told that we should not apply Oracal 751 vinyl over 951 vinyl and vice versa, when applying layered cut vinyl graphics. Before and up to then, we had done a few previous jobs and had layered these different cast vinyls. As far as I...
  3. Great deal on some fonts.

    I stumbled onto this little package deal and some of these fonts would be great for the right projects. http://www.mydesigndeals.com/deal/33-new-and-incredible-fonts?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=33newincrediblefonts
  4. Product supplier needed.

    Does anyone know where I can find a maker of custom 2 part carbonless manila tags like the ones in the photo? We do a lot of work for this company and I could really use a referral for these. The dimensions are 6 1/4" x 3 1/8" if it makes any difference. Thanks for any help.
  5. Carbide plotter blades

    Holy crap! Let me jut say I should have taken the advice of others and tried these a long time ago. I went to order some new Roland blades from Feller's and I saw that they are nearly $19.00 each. However, we normally used standard steel blades for the longest time and I never felt like trying...
  6. Any suggestions?

    I'm looking for a typeface that might portray the spirit and/or heritage of Native Americans. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have a potential customer who wants a sign made and she asked me to do it like the existing layout on her van, which not only includes no copy prioritization, but...
  7. Big Squeegee tutorial

    This morning I had to tape some stripes that are 177" (14.75 feet) long with the big squeegee and I figured I would take a few pics and show you guys how I do it and line everything up nice and straight. The stripes are just over 14.5" in width and I'm using a 16" roll of RTape Conform 4075-RLA...
  8. Fiberglass chicken, bawk, bawk!

    I'm doing a couple of signs that will go on either side of a 4' x 8' trailer with a fiberglass chicken mounted to the trailer. The trailer got picked up by high winds a short while back and the trailer fell over which caused some slight road rash on the chicken as shown in the pic. After...
  9. Fellers

    I called Fellers today to place an order and Frank Fellers himself picked up the call and took my order. To me that says a lot about his work ethic and I'm now impressed with their customer service.
  10. Digital pinstripes

    I recently got some beginner's lessons on how to pinstripe a couple weeks ago. Although I've been practicing, I'm not ready to post anything for quite some time. Once I get more time under my belt, I will try hand lettering and maybe even utilize my new skills to make a few signs. In the...
  11. Crazy t-shirt design for a crazy friend.

    This is a 4 color t-shirt design I made for a friend of mine. Yes, he's a fruit loop and yes, that is him on the shirt. I just thought I would share so you could all get some amusement out of it.
  12. Plastic edge cap

    Typically, on some of our 3mm (1/8") ACM panel signs, we use a PVC edge cap/molding and seal the corners with silicone. This gives a more finished look and helps to seal the edges on panels that have a solid print or vinyl applied all the way to the outer edge. Now we have a customer who would...
  13. Looking for a burnt orange vinyl

    I'm in search of some burnt orange cut vinyl for an upcoming project. I would prefer the durability of cut vinyl over printing. The exact color I'm looking for would be something very close to PMS 159 C. Terra cotta is too dark and most oranges are too orange and not dark enough. I've looked...
  14. Okay, so what gives?

    I was looking up some printers and cutters on Google and got directed toward this site... http://www.graphicpoints.com/ It was one of the first links on Google to pop up. If you look at these prices on printers, you'll notice that they are WAY lower than their competitor's prices. For example...
  15. Manila tags

    I received an inquiry about some printed manila tags sized 3.125" x 6.5" in 3 different colors, green, purple, and grey. I'm still waiting on an email to get the specs that I need on these, but in the meantime can anyone refer me to a supplier who might be able to do these?
  16. 4 x 12 sign layout

    I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to vintage design, so here's my effort for a 4 x 12 panel layout. I don't particularly care for the color scheme. I'm thinking a blue seal and ribbon might look nice and pop a little more on the brown, but red looks luxurious, so I went that direction...
  17. A couple new fonts I recently designed.

    I made both of these in the last few months. The western style 'spurred' font took a couple of weeks of work off and on, probably more so in setting up kerning pairs which were extensive and I still have probably another week's worth of fine tuning to do. The more geometric one was a pretty...
  18. Hey, FireSprint!

    Thanks for the bad*** coasters. What a nice way to show customer appreciation. These coasters are really nice.
  19. US Cutter Lightning Lam laminator

    We are looking to buy the US Cutter Lightning Lam laminator. You can find info about it here... http://www.uscutter.com/USCutter-LightningLam-Lite-63-Heat-Assisted-Cold-Laminator Has anyone here had any experience with this laminator? I checked the archives and there's not much information...
