About 10 years ago I had a job at a computer shop that was next door to a pool hall. Occasionally, me and some coworkers would go hang out at the pool hall after work and have a few beers. Turns out billiards wasn't really my thing, but there was another game in there calling my name... the Air...

Coming off the heels of this thread dealing with my dirty encoder strip problems... I think I just opened a new can of worms. Just my luck. We finished the last bus in fleet of shuttle buses today, so I decided to crack open the VP540 and give it a good cleaning. I cleaned the encoder strip...

anyone recognize this one?

I have a client we have done a bunch of work for. One of those kind I just can't say "no" to. I need to find someone who can fabricate a 3 dimensional rocket based on their logo design that will mount to the top of a passenger van we are wrapping. I'm thinking something sculpted from foam? I...

We are swamped and our VP540 is sweating bullets working over time. I'm just about to pull the trigger on buying an RS640. My thoughts on the pros are... same inks same rip no learning curve or major upset to production... just plugin and go close to same prints from one printer to other...

After 4 years of wrapping cars with 180cv3 and 8519, I finally broke down and bought a roll of 8518. According to a 3M rep, they now offer the same warranty on the 8518 as they do on 8519. I was surprised to see a clear plastic backing on the roll. Does it always come that way? 8519 is always on...

Can anyone identify "BUGGS" in this logo? Thanks!

I'm not sure Fred really has any intentions of revamping the S101 logo... but based on a discussion in another thread, it sounds like he's not opposed to at least seeing what ideas you guys have. I think it would be fun to see what some of you can come up with.

What is "i .com" ??

Why do problems always happen in the middle of the night... on a weekend... when you're trying to meet a deadline?? We have a fleet of shuttle buses to wrap with a butt ton of purple in the design (not our design so don't blame me). I started running panels today and kept running into this...

Somebody asked to see some pics inside my shop in another thread. Here's the grand tour...

A neighboring screen printer recently relocated their business, so we have jumped head first into the t-shirt biz! We're working on getting our signage and marketing materials together. Check it out! The big shirt is 3M IJ35C printed and lam'd with 210 matte (for the cotton tshirt look) then...

I've got over 3 years worth of Roland 440ml empty ink cartridges boxed up collecting dust in the warehouse. Thought about doing something creative with the at one point... now I'm just anxious to get rid of them. Should I toss 'em or will one of those ink refill places take them?

We are designing for a small fleet of Kia Souls right now. I would like to remove the plastic bumper moldings from the doors... but I have a feeling they are clipped on with holes in the body. Can anyone confirm if there are holes behind the molding or are they stuck on with VHB?

We have exclusively used 3M wrap vinyl products since day one. Never even experimented with Avery Supercast, Oracal 3951, Arlon 6000XRP or anything else. Now I have a project in front of me we have to shave costs wherever possible. The wraps are going on fiberglass monster truck bodies. There...

Something about the cover of the July issue of Sign & Digital Graphics Magazine... just looks really good. Can't quite put my finger on it. http://sdgmag.com/digital-magazine/digital-magazine-2011-july

Does anyone have any insight on the requirements, in any, for shops printing political promotional signs, banners, shirts, etc in the Houston area? I have a friend from high school running for Houston city council. We would like to take care of his design and printing, but he says he is required...

Can someone explain to me why I can create a beautiful bright lime green in an RGB Photoshop file, send that file to my CMYK Roland Printer and the green looks just as beautiful and bright. However, with a CMYK Photoshop file I cannot get anywhere close to that shade of green? Obviously the CMYK...

Any thoughts on this one? I can get close on everything but the "a". Thanks! Andrew

Any idea what these two fonts are? I've got some stuff that's close. I realize the "express" is warped. Thanks!
