  1. Good vs Bad Production Design

    Client states the wrap is already designed, and only needs help with the hood graphics lining up. Asked if I was "good at Photoshop?" Here are some before and afters. Most of us here are skeptical when it comes to graphic designers who say they can provide 'print-ready files', and...
  2. Wrap Designer w/ Experience

    Hello folks, I realize most of you owners are smart enough to hire a designer fresh out of college, and deal with the learning curve that comes with designing for a custom fab shop. However, if you're ever in a pickle, and need a decent wrap designer who can speak 'sign language', I'm now a...
  3. I have no wares to sell, just myself and a story

    Hello fellow shop owners and burnt-out employees, Around 8 years ago, I posted my 'portfolio' which was, even though, my own original artwork, was mostly fake logo design exercises. They were pretty terrible. At the time, I was making owners a ton of money running production and installing...
  4. Routing: Max Metal vs Starbond vs Omegabond

    We were told by our Esko rep that Max Metal was the worst brand of ACM to route because it eats up router bits faster than other brands. Does anyone have experience with this?

  8. Substrate Scrap Storage/Organization

    We have a ton of substrate scraps (duh) but most of them are useful and we're able to keep for samples/concepts and what not. Anyone have any creative shelving/filing system for scraps that are a little more than just "throw it on the shelf/pallet". Looking for ideas before I start building.

  10. Ever just up and left?

    I've been in Arkansas all my life, and pretty much hate the culture around here. I have big ambitions and an entrepreneurial spirit. Last year I went to California and loved it, however I just went there to get married (big mistake) and now getting divorced. Long story short we were just bad for...
  11. L25500 Color Calibrations?

    I have been spoiled by our HP360 that basically makes everything idiot proof when it comes to color calibration. All the reading I've done online is a bunch of randomness. What is the easiest way to color calibrate this L25500 or can I just use 'off the shelf' calibrations? I've printed the...

  17. Standard Masking Tape - Whatcha Use?

    My guys are complaining about the cheap Uline tape and I agree that it's not the best but it's like $1.50 a roll. Doesn't have enough body and tacks too high. Trying to keep it around $2 a roll. They swear by the Scotch blue painters tape but they were paying $8 a roll at a locally owned...

    Is there a way to adjust the tool height when it moves from one object to another when cutting? The height is always super low and causes scratching with some thicker materials if it's even slightly rolled.
