  1. La Bajada Hill, recreating a lost 100 year old sign

    That's what we were hoping for. We were originally going to duplicate the war wounds but..... 1. the steel was too thick 2. I just couldn't come to defacing it after I worked so hard on it.
  2. La Bajada Hill, recreating a lost 100 year old sign

    Thanks guys, I thought some might get a "kick" out of this (pun intended). It's a nice change from the everyday ho-hum sign job. And thanks for the replies from the other thread. FireSprint had by far the best prices and prompt response
  3. La Bajada Hill, recreating a lost 100 year old sign

    Haha didn't even catch that I did most of this at home where I hardly ever wear shoes
  4. La Bajada Hill, recreating a lost 100 year old sign

    I was fortunate enough to get to recreate a long lost 100 year old Route 66 sign outside of Albuquerque New Mexico. I am not a sign painter, honestly I have never hand painted a sign. The customer whom I have done other sign work for, is also a loose acquaintance. He is a friend of mine on...
  5. Metal 2'x3' screen printing needed (old lost route 66 sign)

    they already have the details, possibly a quote ready in my inbox. and thank you very much, it was an exciting project. My first official sign painting and my first time using enamel
  6. Metal 2'x3' screen printing needed (old lost route 66 sign)

    Whats up guys? It's been too long. I hope all my old friends here are doing well. Anyway I was commissioned to paint a long lost Route 66 sign. It is completed and I have a need for 66 screen printed duplicates. I had no idea there was such a following for this road or that there would be such...
  7. Vertical Lines Issue

    It could be many things what wave pattern are you using? did you try to clean the encoder strip? you did a slant check... looks good? For some strange reason Mutohs have a hard time with certain colors. I print out full PMS charts and on certain blues and greens some colors will have vertical...
  8. Looking for some "Professional" Expertise

    Ha I didn't get past the first post. I thought it was a new thread.
  9. Looking for some "Professional" Expertise

    Might not be right for you but this is what I would do. He is basically handing the keys over to you without you having to deal with the pressures and stress of being a owner. maybe talk to him about getting a bonus if you make a certain amount of sales in one month. Maybe see if you can cut...
  10. Vinyl Cutter Purchase

    Bigger is better in this case, but you can have a successful business with a 24" plotter. I have never researched the pricing on a 30" machine before so I am blindly saying I would go 24" or 54"+ only I only had 24" machines until I went digital (15 years or so) And I have only purchased maybe...
  11. Orajet Products

    it would be one thing if the OP came back and participated in the thread, but I think they have started 6 different threads and not commented on any of them. Furthermore you could easily pick a correct sub forum and ask all of these questions in one place. Spamming a forum with vague threads...
  12. Would you please express your opinion for pricing?

    Not all members are this way, just the ones that sit here waiting for the next thread. Some of what has been said about your use of fonts is correct. If friends and family enjoy them or even if you find some to buy them then thats great. But if you scrape off the slime that some use when they...
  13. Vinyl Cutter Purchase

    graphtec is top quality as far as pressure... this would be used to cut through thicker material like sandblast mask etc. It is always nice to have everything you need at first then to wish you had it. As far as other things like page cut or perf. They are just a luxury IMO
  14. Rounded top, white vinyl frame needed

    Whats up signs101 it has been too long since I have logged on. Been very busy the last year or so. Anyway I need a recommendation for a sign frame. I have several of these I have done for a customer in the past and now they want a new addition to their property. The supplier I purchased these...
  15. Do you follow a business guru?

    The people that "thought" they were my gurus laid of 50-75% of their work force in the last 5 years. No thanks Spending all profits on equipment and employees is always what they preached to me. Success is not always determined by how big your business appears or even the bottom line. Don't get...

  18. In a jam. Grey printing purple

    if your in a jam you can always print a PMS chart and grab the color that looks closest. Unless its grey in a bitmap that you are having issues with.
