Ever feel like there are customers that are just problems all around? From the get go, we had issues on both ends of this transaction, employee didn't respond timely to the customer so he was impatient with us, then nit-picked every little thing along the way. Then, after he picked up his...

I've seen this font a thousand times, don't think I've ever used it. Anyone recognize this? Thanks!

Bidding on a project with a stupid-tight deadline for both the bid submittal and production timeline (aren't they all?) and the client has specifically requested pre-patinated / pre-weathered corten steel (example photo attached). Size of the piece needed is approximately 144" x 56" 3/16" thick...

So, we've already done 2 of these buses in the past. And probably the most difficult area for us has been the front of the bus, just above the windshield. There are many curves in a very tight and difficult to reach area, just wondering if anyone else would be willing to share their...

Looking for a recommendation of a material that could be used to create a negative of an image, applied to raw wood, and we would use a torch to burn the image into the wood? We have tried a couple of samples using some hartco sandblast resist, but the high heat melts the adhesive and looks like...

I made a mistake on choosing the materials for this project and now I am trying to fix it. We have 30 photos printed on oracal/orajet 3164, 36" x 60" laminated with oraguard 200 matte. I planned to mount these photos to 3/16" gatorfoam, and that is where we are having trouble. I have seen an old...

We are wrapping a 42' trailer (police mobile command center) that has a lot of aluminum trim around doors and slide-outs/compartments etc. The customer supplied the artwork and has some text that goes over these wide trim areas (trim is up to 2" wide on some parts). My question is, if we wrap...

I have had a customer request a quote to print 3500 of these pieces. They will be powder coated red, and the raised letters will need to be printed white in 2 different locations on the part. We have screen printing presses that we use primarily for printing shirts/apparel but have set up before...

We've been requested to provide a quote for installing 20 parking signs on an asphalt parking lot. Just wondering how this would typically be carried out. I assume there are specific tools that would be used that I probably don't have, but I may be interested in getting them or would at least...

I was asked to bid on a job replacing some pan faces for a sign. Upon close inspection, there are some issues. One of the cabinets (top hinge) is installed between two 6" square steel poles, the other is mounted on top of the framework for this sign with a center-pole mount. The lower marquee...

I think I am in trouble... I took on a bus wrap job with very short notice Monday. Ordered media, saw that I had a full set of inks in my printer and a whole extra set of every color. Well, didn't get to see the artwork until Christmas Eve and this artwork is using a TON of magenta. I am only...

I am working on an estimate for a customer that needs the faces replaced in his sign (flat not pan). The existing faces are 20+ years old and have held up very well. The existing graphics are painted on the back side of clear faces. The new sign face graphics will require digital printing as...

Thought at first glance that this was Benguiat, but it's not, and whatthefont hasn't given me a correct match. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

I made a mistake when supplying my customer with a bid on this project, hoping I can get this straightened out.... These letters are 5" high avant garde, 2" deep with bottom studs. I quoted this using my gemini catalog but didn't realize that in order to have bottom studs, there MUST be a back...

We need to replace some rather large pan faces for this center pole mounted cabinet. The sign is a little larger/higher than we typically work on, so we are going to produce some new faces for the customer and hopefully sub the installation to another shop. I was able to get a bucket truck on...

I have been running Flexi Cloud on my PC and have been using Flexisign for design/output for years. I am in the market for a new laptop and would like to be able to run flexisign on it. I have been looking at possibly purchasing a new macbook pro, but after researching, I am not finding any...

I'm looking for a transparent semi-rigid material that can be rolled up. My customer needs a small quantity of signs made that would be approximately 16" x 30", with a one-color vinyl graphic applied to a transparent/clear substrate. I would just use clear acrylic but the customer has requested...

A customer wants some labels printed for gallons of apple cider. The label stock they have currently used is just glossy white and the adhesive grabs on really quick. I tried a piece of vinyl and the adhesion is pretty poor on this surface. I am hoping to print/cut these on my roland vp-540i...

Came in to the shop today to catch up on some printing, and the first roll of media I loaded up was a fresh roll of Orajet 3751 RA. Started printing to discover I was getting horrible print quality. After checking the file, cussing for a few minutes, cleaning the printer, checking all of the RIP...

Just wondering, can I mount signs to both sides of a standard u-channel post? Could bolts be attached through one sign face, through the post, and out the other sign face, secured with a nut on the other side? I know that the two sides of the post are not the same, not sure if this will cause me...
