  5. Career choice stress

    This is going to be a little more serious than my usual posts. And I'm sure I won't be the only one who knows what this feels like. I'm 24 and I've been working with vinyl for a few years and enjoying it. However I'm just starting to question if I really want to stay with this for the rest of...
  6. Rasters, effects and cut paths cs4

    Im pretty much a Illy user at heart. The problem I have is when I do blurs, drop shadows, etc it takes forever for my pc to catch up on large files. Rasterize is also far from perfect and it seems like with any rasterized illy file (leaving the CutPath as a vector) problems always arise with...

    I have a customer insist on these exact fonts although I tried to sell them on others (ecspecially since they are doing reflective lol) But its their choice so I need a font ID on both. The fishing one is pretty common.
  10. Paint flaking under wrap

    I have a customer interested in wraping his hood "instead of painting it" So what do you guys usually say to this? Suggest a professional paint job before you're willing to touch it? What about sanding the bad spots and hitting it with primer. I guess my real question is how good does the...
  11. budget for buying fonts

    After seeing some of the fonts out there its become obvious to me that I need to invest in some quality ones as my business grows. My question is how do you all usually budget for fonts and other forms of artwork? Do you buy it on a per job basis? (seems like it would be easy to cancel out...
  12. Referals

    A local print shop wants me to stop in and talk about pricing for them to outsource banners and yard signs and that kind of stuff through me. Also he asking about just referring customers to me and getting some sort of kick-back. So my question is do any of you season veterans have referal...

    I have a customer wanting a gloss white sign with applied vinyl. It is to be a 4x6 sign hanging from above so that it swings in the wind. What substrate would be rigid enough at that size without building a frame? Polymetal? Or is building a frame going to be a must? Also whatever the...

  16. Another Murphys law case.

    In the middle of June I flipped my racecar and got pretty banged up and had to be stabilized and transport to the hospital to be checked out and have my back x rayed. Everything came out ok despite some serious back pain and several bruises the size of softballs. This all happened in a small...
