  1. my facebook page refuses to load in firefox

    It seems to have started Friday and it only loads the top of the page and nothing else. It worked up until then. I tried opening in ie and it works in there. What could be causing this?
  2. using comply with small cut out letters

    I have to admit that maybe this is totally wrong but I really have not found an alternative product...haven't looked to hard either. I am doing a fleet of tractor trailer cabs and the logo that goes on the door is 4 colours and would be a real pain to cut in regular 2 ml vinyl and then have to...
  3. need help with some lettering

    I have this file that came as a pdf . It seemed harmless enough. A script font and looks OK. Thats where it ends... I printed this banner and hit the brakes about halfway through because this simple script was somehow designed in a way that it seems the designer thickened the stroke and...
  4. why is it so hard to make people understand the simplest things

    Case in point....... Get a call from a customer ( large corporate) They need a new plexiglass vehicle number for a locomotive and they tell me how high this particular number is and then say it is 5" wide. I ask, which number was 5" wide? They say they all were... I pause grit my teeth and...

    Ok guys, My pantone book has no such colour but it is obvious that it is a dark grey... What pantone grey would match to this?
  6. Customers who are their own designers... uggg

    I am doing this signface for a regular customer of mine but now it seems I am dealing with the VP of marketing.... probably a 23 year old fresh out of College. First off he sends me some word file with the way he wants the sign to look.... It's awful so I put the logos in and adjust the...

    I have had my phone for over 6 months now but as of late it seems to dial out on it's own from being in my pocket. I can't find a way to lock the phone....is there a way?
  9. printing on silver mylar?

    I have to produce some decals on silver mylar. I told my client that I would print on clear and then laminate it to the mylar. I suppose thats the way it has to be done? Is it worth trying to print directly on?
  10. how can I designate an external drive a different alphabetical character

    In short my external drive at one time had the letter "E" as its location and now it says "F". Is there a way to re designate it back to "E" ?
  11. 3m premask...is it really better?

    I recently switched to 3m scpm-3 premask. Yes it is thicker and is a little more forgiving on application, but what I have found in the week I have used it is that when premasking and having to overlap premask on to itself, it really does not stick that well to itself and have had multiple...

  13. customer complaining about stencils he asked me to make

    I made 3 stencils for a long time customer for his dumpsters. I had them routered out of aluminum and they looked great. I told him I had done this before for other companies with happy results. Now when we discussed this I told him the other company that had recently done this used heavy...
  14. new 3M reflective vehicle grade only sold as comply?

    My dealer here in Canada now only sells 3M reflective with air egress. Now one might think thats really great but let me tell you it is an absolute nightmare for general vinyl cutting. I have a customer that orders 3" reflective numbers and generally orders 0-9 x 200 or so. With the old...
  15. very strange behaviour

    I have a re occuring job that I run for another sign shop and I print a gradient and then laminate it to a non glare frosted acrylic for them. The file is set up from 1 square box 6" x 6" and I multiply it up to do 40 pieces at a time. They cut the plexi so that they just fit on and then they...
  16. curious if air egress comes in sheet format for screenprinters?

    Just wondered how big a pain it would be for a screen printer to have to deal with a wrap material in a roll form for screen printing? I suppose if it lay flat after cutting up it would not be a big deal, but also wonder if it is offered in a sheet form?
  17. somebody using my 1-866 number to hassle people.

    I received a call from a lady several months ago asking me why I kept calling her. I asked who she was out of curiosity and also to determine if I had been calling her... maybe she was a deadbeat that owed me money. She then told me it was her fathers phone and he was not well. She then asked...
  18. Anyone work with Devoe Paints?

    I am asking for a friend in the biz who was spec'd to use this paint and rolled it onto a premium crezone plywood and now he is getting an orange peel look to the paint. I don't know any other details but wonder if this paint is not meant to be rolled or applied to wood?
  19. adobe reader installed an update and now nothing works

    I can't figure out what happened but I simply clicked yes to an update of adobe reader and now when I click on a file to open it opens for a split second then shuts.
  20. customer trying to blame me for his idiocy!!

    I do work for a large company comprised of 5 or 6 different busineses. I unfortuantely at times have to deal with the owners son who is in his 40's but still has no grasp on reality. Whenever he has any involvement in anything pertaining to what I do for them he always tries to knock me down...
