  2. Which would you pick

    So I had this kid (22) call me wanting a sign for this business he is starting. He sent me his "logo", and after seeing it I tried to give him some help since I hate making ugly signs. I made him a new logo in about 25 min so I wasnt even going to charge him for design (I know, bad idea).... he...
  3. Video Assignment

    Everyone should watch "Art & Copy" for tomorrow. it is available instantly on netflix. It relates wonderfully to designing in the sign world or in any industry for that matter. When he says he has to drag people kicking and screaming in to being rich, thats how i feel about design.

  8. app fluid & digital prints

    Application fluid worx like a champ on computer cut vinyl, but not so much on digitally printed vinyl.

    So I've been on the owner about getting a t-shirt press for the shop for a while now, and finally this morning they told me they couldn't decide because everytime they found one they thought would be good, they found bad reviews about it. It is now my job to research and decide. Anyone know a...
  14. Take-up Reel = crap

    (XC-540) Has anyone ever seen a cheaper POS on a $30K machine? There is no way to make sure the take up reel is parallel wit the machine causing media to spool crooked, and ultimately bend up and hit the head. Anyone found a fix for this?
