Hi y'all, I have tried searching but I'm still learning how to massage the search tool and I'm not finding what I need. I'm running a Roland Eco-Sol vp-540. If I need to cut a roll down to 53" so be it. I asked for some help with a project the other day...

Thanks Bill

We have a client that we made a few 3'x6' and 2'x6' alupanel signs for. My understanding was that they were going on a building. Well he's ordering more of them and he told me that he ended up mounting them on his trailer and that 2 of them blew off while he was on the expressway..! He...

Yeah I agree. I have several customers that appreciate the fact that I can help them turn their idea into concise and effective copy; it's one of the things that help me differentiate my services.

Anecdotal info and an opinion Speaking specifically of Disney I can say with some experience that they are selective in their copyright enforcement - for years we (and countless other shops) have printed shirts for families/organizations that are going to DW/DL. They pretty much always have...

I completely agree. The client wanted metallic and I didn't think about printing on silver and lamming.

We went until about midnight and then picked up this morning. Now I get to spend Saturday and Sunday enjoying the Rockies instead of sweating the vans!

Thanks everyone for your advice, hinging from the top and applying wet worked great and really fairly quick. I appreciate those of you who were able to get past your gag reflex and help a zero talent cretin such as me! :thankyou: :Big Laugh

I'm using a 3m sleeve for squeegeeing after removing mask. And I realized I was asking for it with this question - believe me, I'm pretty disgusted with myself! Thanks for the advice; I have been doing the trim and overlap thing but I'm hoping to get past it...

3M blue squeegee. I have to disagree with the zero skill thing though - I have enough skill to be overconfident! Honestly, I've been making signs for fifteen years, but we're a low volume shop. All the graphics I've installed on vehicles in the past few years have been lam, egress, cast, no...

Thanks Moze! :U Rock: As long as I've got you here.... any advice?

Aargh.... I can't figure out how to attach a picture from my phone :banghead:

So I am struggling with applying vinyl on the rear quarter of a Ford 350 van. I've got a one got by six foot rectangle with letters reversed out that runs forward from the tail light and stays just below the crease. Unfortunately every time I go over the slight flare around the wheel well I...

Alright thanks everybody, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply. I agree that the lettering would transport alright, but the 15" x 7 foot is a solid rectangle with lettering reversed out and I thought there might be bunching or wrinkles introduced by rolling them up... What mask do you prefer to use?

Hey guys, I'm lettering about 15 vans for a customer in Colorado (I'm in Michigan). The largest continuous pc of vinyl is 15"x7' - everything else is text. I was thinking that I would cut and weed here, wrap them around a roll of mask, stick them inside a large diameter tube, seal it up well...

May be a dumb question, but I'm confused on one part of this. Is the art that Goofus wanted on the banners the same art that Gallant is continuing to use with you? And is that what Goofus wants on the doormats as well? Or did you end up making a different logo to put on the banners? I guess...

Power Conditioning Also, if you have "noisy" power in your shop you may want to go the route we did, which is making sure your ups is also a power conditioner - it converts the incoming power to DC then rebuilds its own AC sign wave so you've always got clean juice.

Mike and Rick, thank you both for the time you spent addressing my questions. Thank you for your candor. I don't know how to weld aluminum and I have already accepted this job, so I'm going to produce it as I described initially (I may switch to alumalite on the rectangular portion for some...

Alternatively I don't necessarily need to have pan faces, I could go flat to the wall, but I'm not sure how I would join them.
