  1. WTF? Coming up empty on this one

    Tried most of my indentifiers and came up empty.
  2. WTF? Coming up empty

    Hey all, kind of looks like Mission GT, but some letters are different.
  3. Thinning 3M 94 Primer?

    Hey all, Working on a wrap, its Friday at 3:30pm and we just realized our 94 Primer has thickened up on us. The datasheets say to use acetone to thin or cleanup with, but after doing so it turned what we had left into a gel. Any ideas on a quick fix? I've tried a few of the local body...
  4. Rant: Idiot employees who convert all text into outlines

    If I had a nickel for every hour spent recreating a sign that some former employee never saved a text editable version of, I'd be retired by now. Unless you are outsourcing the printing you really never have to convert text to outlines. At some point, every sign company on earth gets calls from...
  5. Suggestions for cutting FDC Mirror Gold with Air Egress

    We have a good sized window graphic job to produce and we ordered this material from a place named bdfgraphics up in Vancouver. They were the only supplier we could find for it and while the material looks nice and seems pretty cool to work with from the small test pieces we've tried, it is...
  6. WTF? This logo is so small, i can barely read it

    This stupid logo is so small, I can barely read it and the client has no idea how to get me anything better. Any idea on the "chalkboard" looking font? Thanks
  7. WTF? Coming up empty

    The contrast in the photo wasn't good enough to have the font identifiers pick it up. Any ideas?
  8. Permit bounced back for lack of "shear or pullout values"

    So, our little town which has a YYUGE! issue with non-compliant signs has drastically reduced the sign permit fees and started allowing business owners themselves to submit their own permit applications in an effort to boost compliance. From my observations the now 1 year old campaign has been...
  9. Need a source for outdoor ADA signs

    Can someone recommend a source for outdoor ADA signs that can withstand harsh weather conditions. The place this is in can go from 50 to 110 and back down to 50 again in the same day.
  10. Need a source for oversized artist canvas prints

    We have a project coming up that calls for two oversized photo quality prints on artist canvas measuring 80"x72" and 96"x72" on 1.5" stretcher bar frames. Are there any good sources out there for these? Either just the prints and we stretch them ourselves to keep shipping costs down or...
  11. Suggestions for how to tackle a long horizontal wrap

    We have an install job to do for a client who supplied his own graphics and part of it is a 24" x 20' stripe with a pattern and text printed into it going on each side of a Mercedes Sprinter. The supplier of the graphics didn't send panels with overlaps like we expected, they sent two long rolls...
  12. 2 sided mirror gold window vinyl wider than 15" ?

    I've got a window job that the client wants done in mirror gold on the inside of the glass and some of the elements are bigger than I can cut out of a 15" width roll. I found this stuff online available in a 24" wide roll: FDC 2808 Double Sided Mirror Finish, silver/gold window film...
  13. Out of state collections

    My issue isn't close enough to Gino's to want to poach his thread, so here's a new one. We had a customer who recently moved out of the area and is setting up another marital arts studio a few states away. We did a bunch of wall size decals and some smaller stuff. Maybe $450 worth of stuff...
  14. A few handlettered signs from the vault part deux

    Had some time to scan and cleanup a few more old signs.
  15. A few hand lettered signs from the vault

    I found an old envelope of photos and pardon the poor quality of some of the photos, but I wanted to share these.
  16. To meat or not to meat, that is the question.

    Didn't want to hijack the other thread, but any buffoon who thinks a conscious choice to both improve one's own health, the impacts on the planet and be socially responsible for the other species we share this fragile and damaged orb is wrong or to be criticized is just full of horse manure...
  17. When I rule the signmaking universe!

    Anybody else sick of always either running out of media or laminate before the other? When I take over the signmaking universe, all rolls of laminate will be dispensed in 175' rolls. Why the manufacturers don't calculate the webbing waste and excess that is used on the front and back of prints...
  18. Stencil material for Glass etching

    Its been quite a few years since I've done some glass etching and one of our local glass companies needs us to cut some stencils for them. I hate to buy a whole roll of stencil for a tiny job that isn't going to be carved, just etched. I used to just cut Gerbermask and it was fine for standard...
  19. Double printing on clear decals

    I'm doing a bunch of decals on clear meant to go on the inside of windows and they have a black background with all white text and border. Our plan is to print them in reverse and then laminate them to a white backing vinyl. I tested a couple and despite using a built up black, I'm thinking I...
