  1. Signs literally broke in half

    Given that Good Friday is this week my statement "tore from the bottom to the top" made me think that's the opposite of what happened to the curtain.
  2. Why does Flexi do this to some fonts?

    Poorly drawn fonts. In Corel they display properly and print OK but if you have to cut them, you end up cutting the overlapping shapes.
  3. Signs literally broke in half

    If the bottom was loose they were probably whipped around by the wind and tore from the bottom to the top. Doubt the premium/economy would make any difference except maybe in the speed of wind required to do this. The wind from the storms this spring have been very high. You're up north so it...
  4. Trailer Graphics (newbie)

    When lettering a trailer like that you have to decide how to deal with the rows of screws. When doing cut vinyl or print and cut vinyl, our preference is to remove the screws where the vinyl will go, install the graphic, then reinstall the screws. The screws use a #2 square bit. They are very...
  5. sign and design software

    The real reason Adobe is considered the graphics industry standard is not because of Adobe. It's because of Apple. Back in the dark old days of computing the Apple Mac became capable of handling graphics manipulation before the Windows computers could. So it became considered necessary to use a...
  6. sign and design software

    She just needs to learn to use Corel Draw. Spend a couple of hours doing basic sign layout. Like the quintessential No Dumping, For Sale, etc. Start each as a new layout, with a fictional set of instructions from fictional customers. If she cannot come to grips with designing signs in Corel Draw...
  7. Font help please

    The R is slightly different but Xscale is very close.
  8. ghosting on vehicles

    What you have to do depends on what you mean by "ghosting". Sometimes it's a ridge of dirt dried into adhesive at the edge of the letters that doesn't come up with solvent and a paper towel. Sometimes it's fading or dulling of the vehicle finish around the letter that doesn't happen behind the...
  9. Epson s80600 Direct print to mag

    Put a piece of application tape over the rear media sensor. Just bear in mind that you no longer have a working rear sensor if you are running low on media. And take the tape off when you're done.
  10. Font ID - Western or Country type font

    It looks like that one with such an out of focus and blurry photo that the corners look rounded even though they aren't.
  11. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    There is a high tariff like that on dairy products. But it's only after a certain amount of dairy product has been exported without any tariff. This is according to the USMCA. That limit has never been exceeded since the treaty was negotiated. So I guess that's proof that tariffs work. Nobody...
  12. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    The big reasons manufacturing was offshored was overregulation (too much red tape, too many restrictions, extra things you have to do compared to third or second world countries) and unions (too high pay, benefits, pension programs, etc. compared to income and compared to said second and third...
  13. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Hantavirus is pretty much a Southwest thing. Bubonic plague too.
  14. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    The videos don't show that. The woman was not in over her head. They had people coming regularly to do various maintenance things (a landscape guy is the one who found them). Anybody so exposed can contract hanta, and go from feeling fine one day, sick the next and suddenly dead later that day...
  15. Q: Filling removed pin mounted holes + apply vinyl "dots" over holes after

    When we do them in stucco we use clear silicone or the the white vinyl paintable 30 yr caulk (it is called ALEX on the tube). Then you can spot paint them to match the wall color. On silver ACM I might not fill the hole at all, assuming they aren't much bigger than the studs were. If you are...
  16. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    It's pretty easy for mice to get into a house. But not a sign of poor housekeeping. But if you look at pictures of Gene Hackman's house, it's a sprawling compound with multiple buildings and garages. It's very easy for mice to be in garages and outbuildings. They love eating car wiring, for example.
  17. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    House doesn't have to be a mess for there to be mice or rats or native small rodents. In New Mexico the most common vector is the deer mouse. The virus is in its droppings or urine, and all you have to do is sweep out a shed that an infected mouse has been in and breathe the dust to get pneumonia.
  18. BUMPER STICKER MATERIAL

    Bumper stickers are not air egress. People can put them on just fine. They have since what, the 1940s without air release? I would also consider using regular calendared material with removable adhesive. And not laminate it. Unless they want people to leave the bumpersticker on for many years...
  19. Hello from Minnesota

    Hi. Welcome.
  20. Looking for better vinyl for making stickers

    Shrink wrap? Wax? Heatgun? None of those has any part in decal production. You don't need to learn how Stickermule does things. You need to learn what everybody does. And what you are actually working with. You print on adhesive vinyl, which comes on a carrier, usually paper, sometimes plastic...
