In reply to Jill, sometimes abbreviations make for balance on the cab doors. Arcing the top line with city name then fire dept. or fire dist. for the lower line. I'm not a fan of Ruby Red scotchlite with black next to it either but seems to be a hit in the fire industry. Red/black get pretty...
I thought I might jump in & offer some thoughts to your problem, or so it is to you. What you are looking at is a font that is derived from a history in the fire industry going back generations. As anyone who has swung a brush especially in the fire industry would know that cities have long...
Here is a company in my back yard that packs paint into spray cans with the one shot paint chart matched to aerosol sprays. I've purchased from them in the past great people to work with. If you still get Signcraft they have an add in the index. Best of luck.

It sounds like you have come to a solution with your dilemma, here is what we do to cut reflective that has been printed using the crop marks on our Mimaki CG 160. Create the crop mark in your program of choice center inside of a 4" square. Cut the square & crop mark out of white vinyl, weed out...
As far as the backing up, I've used Naz-Dar's line of enamel based screen inks on some recent jobs most of which the initial art was reverse printed on glass, then the gilds were applied with a damar center. Now to back up the finished job Epifanes makes an outdoor high gloss clear uv finish...
I would also get in touch with Sara King, she has her website on Angel Gilding and also has products to produce mirror finishes. This would allow you to start fresh, and get the info to do a first rate job. I just picked up a glue pot from her to do some chipping myself. Hope this helps Pat.
Looks like a mix of Eurostile(ampersand), and Crillee for the "S". You'll be playing vector engineer by the looks of it, need to duplicate I presume. Shouldn't be too tough.
Time, material, prep time, drive time, your shop rate. Probably a intermediate vinyl as these things get beat to heck. Best it will ever look is after your done. You could do a quanity discount after 5 or 10. With text going between ribs thats extra effort to layout a job like that, don't cut...
Vinyl or paint? A single name that will go between the ribs or a laundry list? Just checking, I have a client who I print decals roughly 30"x 36" that he applies to 3 sides of his dumpsters. Same decals for all three sizes of his dumpsters. Need more info to create an accurate guestimate.
Are you merely price shopping, or is quality a concern? Just wondering what application you are doing, surface or raised letters on a sign? W & B from Chicago has a great price on 23k double that the quality is not only great but price per pack can't be beat. If your looking for best prices...
I have a gsx and a gsx plus. One I just had serviced. One of the axis motors started to give problems resulting in cut issues like your mentioning. Possible it could just be a belt. Their is a wagon wheel test you can run to check some of these issues. Also, cut some basic shapes overlapping...
