  1. Poopy Serif Font

    I know the font is hideous, but I have to match it as they have used it all over the rest of their truck. Anyone know what it is?
  2. Micro 3d Printer on kickstarter raised over 1 million in 1 day

    Thanks for the post, I am part of a team bringing a different 3D printer to market right now. We have not decided on whether to try kickstarter or not still... Everything seems to be working itself out at the moment!
  3. Stuff you've found while installing

    At the last place I was at an installer found an EPI pen in an ambulance compartment... by the pointy end. He said he felt a bit off for about 24 hours after that.

  6. Fire Dept Font Mystery

    Can't recall ever seeing this one before.... anyone else know it? (or something close I can modify) It HAS been a long week!
  7. help going from design to output for printer

    When you are just printing an area like a fender only: You can create a clipping mask in illustrator and save a new file as "front curbside fender" and just print that file. Or in photoshop you can flatten and crop the document size to that area only and save a new file. If you are printing...
  8. help going from design to output for printer

    Pro Vehicle Outlines has a GREAT set of templates, but try to take some actual measurements and photos of the real vehicle whenever possible as the vehicle is not 2-dimensional like the templates are. major problem areas to verify on templates are overall lengths/heights, any rear/front window...
  9. help going from design to output for printer

    I think you're on the right track with how you are setting them up now,. However on your first couple wraps, before you hit print it may be worth your time to send the files by someone with more experience in making/printing wraps that work. (like hiring a consultant) Have you installed any...
  10. Onyx 10 Copies Issue

    I know you have your issue solved now, but I have recently had some CRAZY Onyx issues the past couple weeks... Contacting them today to see if they know what is up with my print/cuts cutting crazy shapes or incorrect locations. (A reboot will fix some issues, but some problems aren't making any...
  11. old letter ghosting

    There is a product called "Ghost Off" for this, the cowboy sells it I think. (probably others) I have used it with pretty decent success on older trailers to remove the oxidization/ ghosting. You have to use it more concentrated than is stated and you have to really scrub the trailer. Just...
  12. Foil question (trying to prevent waste)

    Under Print Options in GSP Plot there is an option in the top right that says Conserve Foil. Make sure that box is checked.
  13. Help with this effect

    Those are monochrome bitmaps that you can add fills to. Illustrator supports creating bitmaps under Effect>Rasterize. Photoshop creates them also, once you have your image created change the image mode to grayscale and then to bitmap. You can place that bitmap into other programs, etc and add...
  14. Mounting metal letters to marble/stone wall

    It'll be fine. Apply a wide piece of VHB to the letter and cut around it. (it may be a bit tedious but it will work) Look at how skinny some of the lettering on vehicles is that is held on by VHB. Sometimes I will apply a piece or two of VHB temporarily for while the VHB is still fresh and then...
  15. Need help with this one

    kind of similar to this one: http://www.dafont.com/boom-box.font?text=DeLUCA but not an exact match.
  16. CMYK Charts

    Hanging on the wall with tacks. We have a printout of a full chart on matte, gloss, banner, window perf, reflective, textured floor lam, etc for customers to see how their particular Pantone color will output on our printers without any color modifications. If they aren't happy with our...
  17. Farewell Big Squeegee

    One of our installers here uses theirs for semi truck installs; says he loves it!
  18. Picking brains - reflective over compound curve (Ford fender fold)

    That's gonna be a funny one any way you go about it. I think that the knifeless tape and 3M680CR might be the best combo... but it'll still look weird most of the time going over those curves and it might take a few tries to get it "right". I think the customer might be just as happy if you...
  19. LEJ-640 Fume Extractor/Air Filter

    Here is a big hint: Solvents are heavier than air, so they go down. Ceiling / elevated intakes are never gonna do the job of floor vents at pulling the solvents out of the room.
  20. Stock Image Subscriptions

    I just got a cold call from them today, never heard of them at all until now. We just renewed our PVO subscription so we weren't interested in more templates but I was curious if they were legit or decent.
