  1. Outsourced some laser engraving - is this quality reasonable?

    We had a company make this sign for us. I think this looks really bad. I can just barely see the texture from 8 ft away. CLoser in is bad. Even far enough away it looks like a dirty white instead of a white, I'm guessing because of all the little shadows. My partner is like don't worry about...
  2. How to adhere (and remove) coro signs from box truck?

    Client wants to take multiple 4x4 and 4x8 coro signs and display them on a BORROWED box truck for the next few weeks. He's not going on the expressway but is otherwise driving it from place to place. He really wants to avoid putting them on every time he parks as he will be alone when doing...
  3. Looking for advice on a stainless flat logo on commercial dishwasher

    My customer has a stainless steel commercial dishwasher. I wanted to make an approximately 12" wide x 3" tall stainless script logo, the thinner the better, to flush mount to it. I've already gotten advice on how to mount it. I'm hoping to get polished as opposed to brushed if it's possible...
  4. Non-mechanical stainless to stainless?

    I need to mount an ~12" wide cut stainless script word to the outside of a commercial dishwasher. I need to mount it to the door and unfortunately when it slides open it slides in front of the wall of the unit with very little clearance between panels. The wash water is 170 degrees so the...

  8. Wholesaler for clean detailed decals - anybody have a favorite source?

    I've got an HP Latex printer. Most things that I don't want to print in house I order through Signs365, who also prints latex. I'm looking for someone to turn to when I need to print decals that are small and are too detailed to be really crisp on my printer.

  10. Timely: Any experience with customer disputing a charge for an order that was produced correctly and that he picked up?

    We've got a customer who orders about once a year from us. Haven't had much trouble with him in the past although he's a bit of a self important ass. We just printed 100 tees for him. We sent him the order with all details about size, quantity, etc and detailing exactly what was going to be...
  11. Tool I use for relative sponsor logo sizing for shirts and banners

    When I have to put thirty sponsor logos on a banner, I use this template to give each sponsor roughly the same visual weight. For different sponsor tiers I size one tier and then try to go around 30% bigger for each subsequent tier. Once I have all the logos sized I grab all of them and resize...
  12. Trusted Supplier for Table Covers etc.?

    We were using Overnight table covers otcandapparel.com and then started having color and quality issues with them. We just ordered from thebannerstore.net twice and both times have been terrible - one had really bad banding and the other had the saturation and contrast cranked up so much that...
  13. Installing new flex faces on very old tension frame, anyone familiar with this type?

    It's a 6'x12' frame. The banner gets an extrusion attached to it with window screen spline, the extrusion goes into a channel, and then screws are driven into holes in the outer frame, pushing the extrusion down and thus tightening the face. Does anybody have any tips or tricks, or know the...
  14. Is there any way to salvage these???

    I've got two retractables from Signs365 (so latex print on lay flat material) that came in today. I didn't preflight carefully enough and they both have a light line that runs across them that's about 1/16" wide. I tried isopropyl and a Q-tip over by one edge and thought it was working, but...
  15. Favorite "professional" graphic design idiot stories?

    We sent out an order for some stainless water bottles. I sent a completely vectored file. The imprint method is full color digital. They sent pictures of a production proof advising us that our art had issues. Y'all, look at this registration. And then for the Coupe De Gratchie they...

  17. Been chasing gray for years, finally realized the problem is in Flexi?! Please help me figure this out!

    I've got a 315 print/cut. For years I've had grays be WAY too warm on some (most) materials. In this particular case I'm using the correct profile for the Arlon product. I've been running the calibration on the printer to no avail. I just realized that if I pull up the janky "variations"...
