Just had 'friend' of mine who "prints t-shirt tranfers" ask me for urgent help with his ink jet printer. He can't get it to print teal, keeps coming out blue. I suggested he match the color up with the closest Pantone color then get the CMYK formulation to enter into his color mixer - start with...

I made some cute shirts for a local bar and restaurant and then posted them on my Facebook page. The bar is selling them but now I have people asking me to buy them. My assumption is they want just the design and not the business name. Three of the designs are original and one is more or less a...

On a pocket shirt, where do I place a logo on the right chest? (HTV) Do I pretend the pocket isn't there and place it normally? I can't very well keep it in line with the pocket as it would be down way too far. Should it be above the pocket - he wants it as large as possible. On a side note, the...

A guy came in and told me he bought a new big boat with a nice big swim deck. He asked if I could letter it in the water when he gets it as he's driving it from a few hours away to a dock about 30 minutes from me. After 2 months of asking for a picture and going back and forth with this guy...

I feel bad...I have been turning down some "crappy" type jobs or jobs that require a lot of leg work or vendor searching because I'm extremely busy. I turned down an ATV hood this morning - he wanted it done today (I laughed at him). He wanted a complete template cut that fit around curves, etc...

I'm having difficulty finding something close since it's so outdated. "Calligraphy" type font right? This looks like it was hand painted, not computer generated. No cursive, has to be printed like shown. Wasn't there a font in the 80-90's similar to this? I can't find it or remember the name...

Hi All, I'm going to be lettering a police car. I plan to letter the word POLICE with reflective vinyl. I don't use a lot of reflective so I am looking for advice on which to use. The word POLICE will be in yellow. Thanks in advance!

Hi All -- tomorrow I have my first install for translucent vinyl. It's a simple design with just black translucent vinyl size of 18" x 44". I'm expecting a temperature of 55 degrees...it states a minimum temp of 47 degrees. Is there anything I should be aware of or do differently than I would...

Monday giggles...found this on my door step this morning. The customer was in a couple weeks ago and said he would drop off his sign blank so I could letter the word "Pigeons" on the back of it.

Hi All - I have a customer who is leasing a race track. He wants to buy 2'x4' pieces of 6mil Alumalite and edging from me then give them to some of the sponsors to get lettered. He ordered 4 so far and could be 50 but he MIGHT have me make the signs...IDK, he doesn't know either. Makes no sense...

I used to have this font but I deleted it. Customer looking for the "6" for his race car. Googled it but not finding it...driving me insane right now. Thanks in advance!!

The sign I need to create has a red background and just the word "tattoo" in white on it 4'x8'. There is a two week wait for the Red Alumalite from my regular distributor and they don't want to wait that long. Would I be a fool to use 48" red vinyl and then apply the white over it? I don't do a...

I have a sign that needs to be replaced that is larger than I normally make. Size 4'11"x11'. The original artwork was on a white background...not an issue. Now, they've changed the background to dark blue. I'm looking for either a print that is large enough to cover the sign board or someone who...

I have a client who worked for "Nomad Pipeline Services" - it is now out of business. He is starting is own business and wants to call it "Nomad Surface Preparation" but would like to use the same font/colors. I said I need to look into this. For your viewing purposes, I've created a quick...

Is there anyone in the Manitowoc/Sheboygan WI area that is interested in installing DiamonDiamonds and rear chevrons on a firetruck? I turned the job down but would like to help them find a shop. Thank you!

Hi All! I just had a customer stop in looking for some "In Memory of" decals. She wants me to replace the wording of the Harley Davidson logo with her own wording. This type of thing makes me nervous...please advise on how much I need to change the logo...or should I find something similar...

Hello, I have an alumalite oval sign and would like to put a white edge cap on it. I tried a semi-rigid PVC u-channel with some success but I'm not that happy with it - or my skills just aren't good enough with a heat gun? I found some edging from Outwater.com they told me would work. I'd like...

Any ideas on this one? I'm stumped...

What type of photo resolution would I need to make a 3'x5' sign of a photo of a tractor for a barn that would be installed about 30' high on the front of a barn? The next issue is finding a photo of an Oliver 2150 tractor. Customer is an elderly man who is selling his farm to his son, the sign...

Hello, I'm working on a quote for a couple milk trucks - new account. I've applied vinyl in the past to stainless steel without troubles - but not to milk trucks. This company currently has lettering on their trucks and have been having issues with the vinyl peeling off the stainless tanks. From...
