Send me an email at wizardofpg@yahoo.com and I will send back what I wrote. It is 3,000 chars, which is too long to send via this "new visitor message" function. I wanted to tell you my experience with Sign Warehouse and the VE r31 cutter, without opening myself up to being flayed alive by...

You have a good day too.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Good ideas, Mike. I'm putting that one up on the wall so I don't forget it. But, not knowing much about bumper stickers, let me ask you ... Are those printed? It looks like a lot of work for layered vinyl, so I'm assuming they are printed. If so, what kind of printer are you using? :thankyou:

Yup - that's the plan. I've got an out-of-work wife and a kid who is just 18 but a wee bit "alternative". You know, facial piercings, dresses only in black, that kind of thing. My basic plan is to learn to use the software and cutter and then teach them how to run it for a biz, while I do...

There's a bit of good advice. I'll put that on my to do list - contact SCORE. Oh wait a minute - I did that a few years back and got a spam email back from the SCORE counselor. "After reviewing your business idea, my company would like to offer you a loan of $30k to help you start your...

I'm probably gonna regret this, but... What makes you say that, Brandon?

My business plan is this: make some money. Enough that the cutter pays for itself and any needed materials. Hopefully enough to upgrade to a better cutter in the not too distant future. Ok, I admit, that is more wishful thinking than a business plan. But everybody has to start with at least...

Sorry, no question, just stream of thought.

Sorry, I'm not catching your meaning.

So, I thought maybe I could sell some stickers if I put a few on my own car. Then I remembered, I drive a beater. The hood and the trunk both have hand sized spots on them where the adhesion between the paint and the primer failed, over time, and now there is an ugly gray area showing. I...

From Road & Track "True Stories Behind Car Company Logos" http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1532/true-stories-behind-car-company-logos/ I thought it was interesting. Hope you will too. Gabe

I bought an Vinyl Express R31 from Sign Warehouse. One of the things that comes in the box is an adhesive backed ruler. When I asked at SW where it should go, they said, "stick it on the platen." Well, that didn't tell me much, so I asked if they had a picture of a machine with the ruler...

I agree. That's why I'm buying Mastering Layout. I'm just fishing for opinions. Let me demonstrate the depth of my ignorance. What is a "showcard"? I'm starting at square -1, so I have a lot to learn. I understand that the logo books will show me logo designs, but will that be especially...

Thanks for those titles. I haven't heard of them, so let me ask what will 99 Showcards tell me? And what will the Logo Design books teach me? Not knocking them in any way. Just would like to hear your take on why they belong on my bookshelf. Cheers, Gabe

I saw that Mastering Layout: On the Art of Eye Appeal is recommended for newbies. I was just wondering if there are other titles also recommended. For instance, I was looking at one from Signs of the Times called Getting Started in the Sign Business. Any input on that one? There are several...
