  4. Vinyl on stainless steel Tesla

    My client is planning on buying a Tesla truck for his pest control business. The body is stainless steel and he asked me if my vinyl will stick to it. Anyone have experience with high performance vinyl on a Tesla stainless steel body? I am wondering if there is a coating on the surface that...
  5. JPEGs turning black

    I had posted a new thread about the black jpgs, not seeing this one, because this issue is problematic for me too. I am using Corel X7. I Googled this issue and saw a bunch of replies, but no real solutions. I tried the "Microsft Advisor" chat for help but what I got was a link to a website...
  6. JPG files appear black

    Thanks for sending me to the other thread. Apparently it's not me, but Microsoft. :(
  7. JPG files appear black

    I have jpg files on my hard drive, mostly sign drawings exported out of Corel Draw, that are appearing solid black when I try to import them. I just did a test and emailed one to myself and when I clicked on it I get a solid black rectangle. I can see that the image is there but it seems to have...
  8. Suggestions Oh boy..........................

    I would argue to the customer that the sign serves its "intended use", meaning that it is meant to be seen and read from a distance and it does serve that purpose. So the idea of complaining about a minuscule flaw is not reasonable. If anything, I might give a small discount for the mark in the...
  9. Help with connecting old plotter

    I forgot which is the paralell and which is the serial - is the male (pins poking out) the serial? The holes paralell? Please excuse my lack of knowledge. I set this thing up 20 years ago. So I would need a serial to USB or vice versa? Are the adapters bidirectional or does it not matter?
  10. Help with connecting old plotter

    What is a pci or pcie slot? I'm looking at the back of the new computer and I have what looks like USB ports.
  11. Help with connecting old plotter

    I have an old Graphtec plotter that plugs into my old computer via a "female" connector. My old computer died. I need to plug into my new computer that does not have that type of port on the back of the computer. Can I buy some kind of adapter to plug into a UBS port on the new computer? What...
  12. Large Stencil On Wall

    I've had mixed results using paint mask. I've tried Gerber, Orafol and Avery paint mask products and none have been without bleeding under the mask on a painted drywall surface. I'm using latex paints. I've had to go back and hand paint a "clean up" outline on the letters, which worked out OK...
  13. EstiMate software alternatives

    I've been happy using EstiMate software for the past many years. Recently my hard drive crashed. I replaced it and re-loaded EstiMate but the data files I backed up are not copying over to the new install. I am looking at alternative estimating programs that may be similar. I want to be able to...
  14. Lobby directory signs

    I'm thinking about using a piece of glass mounted to a lobby wall for a directory of tenant's names in vinyl. It's easy to remove vinyl on glass, unlike other substrates, just use a single edge razor blade and scrape off the old letters and stick on new ones. What are the down sides to using...
  15. Is 751C out of stock?

    I called Oracal headquarters located in Georgia looking for 751 Middle Blue. They did not have the size roll I wanted but they were able to tell me what sizes they did have in stock of that particular color. Then I placed my order with Grimco and got it within a few days.
  16. Question for people who bid a lot of spec 10 signs.

    I've learned a couple of lessons the hard way - 1. Have some limit on how many trips to the site are included in your installation price. We are doing a job now that has caused us many additional trips due to either the walls are not painted or the inspector shows up sooner than expected. 2. If...
  17. Having trouble getting Oracal opaque vinyl

    I ordered a roll of middle blue vinyl 751 Oracal in November from Grimco. Been getting the runaround. TubeLite can't guarantee when I'll have it either. They are saying Oracal is unresponsive to their inquiries. I prefer the Oracal 751 over 7125 3M or HP Avery since it weeds really quickly...
  18. Any tips on installing perforated film over windshield wiper housing?

    I have to install a rear window perforated film on an SUV that has a windshield wiper near the bottom center. Should I cut and patch around the wiper housing or try to remove it for installing the film, then put it back on the glass. Thanks.
  19. Font humor ? Sorry in advance .

    Funny video - I can relate - my church uses Papyrus for their Church name. I have practically begged them to update it! But, they don't seem to get it.
