insane stupidity on a steeple

hey... you missed a spot! what's up with that blue side wall next door? :rolleyes: Joe, you guys are incredible. just astounding to take something that monumental & get from rough sketch to this, in such a short time! I live the electric meter on the gas pump! Never noticed that before...

gray arrows are better, layouts without flourishes are tons better (IMO) I like simple triangle arrows better, and would put them all preceeding the copy. A ragged right edge of left justified copy looks fine, but a ragged line up of arrows looks wonky to me, when they could be a nice straight...

A sphincter says what?

Matt from advantage sign supply (a long time Signs 101 supporter) was just telling me about a low-tack removable window film the other day, for possible use in place of static cling on a job I inquired about. I don't have any more details, but Matt Mollenbeek is in their Grand Rapids location...

ditto I've been cutting vinyl a long time & I still avoid 100" cuts whenever possible... suggestion: get a moderate sized .jpg image of your sign layout & reply with the advanced tab.. then scroll down below the reply box & find the "manage attachments' button. From there you can upload...

15 oz scrim, upper class sides (& corners), lower class top & bottom. extra 1" sq. 15 oz reinforcement swatch behind every grommet. 5 years, no complaints *edit* ...I forgot, Mosh sews his hems... mine are only middle class sides :)

My shop? ..any of us, in our OWN shop, where we alone make the rules? I can answer that... in fact I can tell you what happened today... a windsurfer came in asking about quotes to 8 sponsor logos printed on my $30K printer, so the advertising value of those logos would justify some board...

I gotta do a search.. I swear I've written that same post many years ago... at least once :Big Laugh

another terrorist... get him!!! :popcorn:

My current challenge is sticking prints inside, facing outside. I have some edge ready white material & an unprinted swatch seems to stick fine face down or face up... but my supplier says it should always be used with the unprinted side contacting the glass. I would much rather print these on...

interesting seeing this post right now... I just got off the phone with Advantage sign discussing some static cling considerations & one this I just learned is that using solvent inks, it is not advisable to do full coverage (and i don't know if you are) because the solvents attack the material...

hobbyist!! dabbler! :tongue:

and that, to me is the distinction.. that shows me you are interested in the activities themselves & not just in cutting costs. To me, that's a good enough reason to be here. Good luck!

welcome WG. what is your day job? I think you seem like the right candidate for a warm welcome. I know the word hobby was probably your first mistake, but I think that still qualifies under the "If you are, once were, or want to be a professional sign maker, we invite you" terms.. so I invite...

I will make sure i do something for the cause as well... ...in fact if anyone without a printer wants to see a digital print of their creation sent in their behalf... I can print & mount a few 12x18 aluminum panels for people who would like to design something, but don't have a printer. Sure...

I've seen it written in a dozen letter styles, which one do you mean, the bar & shield one? Unless he's a designer (in which case he'd not be asking you) he probably would be content with anything remotely close.. if it's just a toolbox

First of all, your rules aren't going to fly here. You are free to start a conversation, but you will never be in control of it. It is a public conversation.. like walking in a bar starting to talk about 2 rival teams in that town.. you can talk about your team... but you don't get to tell other...
