Happy Fathers Day! If you're a dad or still have a dad, celebrate! I'm gonna post a link to a music video, because it's entirely appropriate. SUPERMAN SONG. In my case, I can point to my dad. But everyone (hopefully) has, or has had, a positive, strong influence in their life. This song...

OK: I'm new to the sign business. My background is screen printing and CAD art for sport jersey lettering and trophy/awards decoration. All of my prior sign making knowledge is virtually worthless. Since being on this forum, I realize that I have done common mistakes, and really ignorant...

Monday: May 28, 2012: -I worked most of the day on my new business. It's something that I dreamed up and legally created. It's well with in my skill set and abilities, and can take me as far as I want to go in life, if I serve people well. -My neighbor had 50 guests at his house today. Grill...

I grew up in an athletic sporting goods store. I still use my first plotter, Roland PNC-1210, and PC software, Corel7 :) We got the package from Stahl's late in 1998. We used the system to cut names and numbers for jerseys. I cut hundreds of yards of thermofilm between Feb. and July every...

Hi folks, thanks for letting me in. (I will post an intro later) About 5 years ago, I lettered a tow truck. Most of my vinyl is Avery A6. The best I remember, THIS material was a custom-house vinyl from Tubelite. It's metallic 2mil (not mirror, not reflective) silver. His door logos...
