  1. WTF..... its on the tip of my tongue

    This thing is so dated I just can't remember its name.
  2. Wtf

    Tried the usual suspects and thought it was Sabon, but something is different about it.
  3. New non adhesive material like static cling?

    A while back I read about this new material that works and acts like static cling but utilizes a different and supposedly superior adhesion method. Anybody else see this or try it yet?
  4. To laminate front printed translucent or not to?

    Doing a few lexan faces which will be put in a ground level illuminated monument sign and wondering if I should laminate the prints or not. Not that worried about vandalism and I know if some punk really wants to scratch them laminate won't save it, but thinking it might be better to be safe...
  5. Best clear media with removable adhesive for reverse printed

    A client has about fifteen 24"x36" clear acrylic panels that they want us to apply new prints to every 6-12 months or so. They get hung on walls and aren't illuminated in any way. Some might stay longer, but as they get new images or photos of performers (its a concert venue) they'll bring in...

  7. Yet another email scam

    Hey all, This came in today and I'm never at a loss for the attempts scammers will make to free any of us from our hard earned dollars. It just kills me how they all hide behind the cloak of some good cause or religious motive to essentially commit fraud. Its a California number, so beware my...
  8. Recurring Data Link Errors on Gerber ION SolaraX

    Wondering if anybody else has gotten a decent answer from Gerber on getting this error with increasing frequency. We've updated the firmware, tried new cables, had the service tech out multiple times, cleared out the que completely, re-installed the RIP software and it just keeps getting worse...
  9. Recent HDU/Aluminum job and a HDU monument sign

    This first one is a recently completed HDU job we did while incorporating a perforated aluminum background and powder coated aluminum frame.The second one is all HDU with a plywood core to add some strength. We extend the MDO outward on the sides, dado the posts and everything fits together nice...
  10. Where can I find wider rolls of Paint mask or Gerbermask than 24"?

    Does anybody use Gerbermask that is wider than the standard 24" rolls?
  11. Who is the old guy with the brush in his hand?

    Had a customer come in last week with an old Chevy pickup wanting it hand lettered with his already created logo inspired by the old nose artists who painted scenes on the noses of warplanes. He had tried one of the "wrap" shops in town and they kept messing around with his logo and he finally...
  12. Printable carpet or roll up floor graphic?

    One of our local military bases is looking to do a 40'x60' map of the base that they want to be able to roll up when not in use. I know the tradeshow industry has been using printed carpeting for a while, but I have no idea how feasible the whole idea of one that big is. Any ideas...
  13. New layout for "Let's Rid Our Area of Ugly Signs" campaign

    Hey all, I've been doing this sort of thing for years as both a self-promotion endeavor and to rid the world of ugly signs one region at a time. A couple times a year, after driving past what I consider the ugliest sign in my area, I approach the owner and offer to a do better than average...
  14. Window perf...... to laminate or not?

    Any general consensus on how often or under what conditions most of you laminate window perf? I've got a fairly big job consisting of 11 56" x 80" panels, so it might be worth it. I'm waiting on word about where they ill be installed and how long they expect them to be up.
  15. What is this font?

  16. Problem customer accepted installation on Friday, now says color is wrong, etc..

    Hey all, I have been dealing with this client from hell for two months now on a wall graphic project. The entire project has been done under a highly adversarial dynamic that she has projected and as a new business owner here, I was blindsided by. She went to college with the previous owner's...
  17. Logo concepts for an agricultural service company

    Hey all, Our area's landscape is gentle rolling hills and has over 250 vineyards within a 15 mile radius. This client does a variety of work almost exclusively for those vineyards. He's a manly man, so he wanted something simple, sturdy and super readable on the highways as he goes from job to...
  18. A couple of preliminary concepts to ponder

    Well, call me a glutton for punishment, but I took the advice to consider dumping the old uninspiring logo I bought with the business and have been playing with a few ideas. We're a modern company doing mostly modern work on modern equipment, hence the more contemporary look and iconography...
  19. Seeking suggestions on better shop lighting options

    These are the overhead lights my predecessor installed and I absolutely hate them. I'm guessing they are mercury vapor because they hum like crazy and cast a very unnatural light in a shop with no windows. You can imagine how tough it is proofing colors in this environment. The shop is divided...
  20. New wrap for shop truck

    Hey all, I just took over this shop I bought and have an existing older Ranger that's showing some age, but the body is still clean. The business purchase didn't include the existing truck, so mine is being pressed into duty. The logo is existing and aside from a few color modifications and...
