  1. Question Vinyl type question

    Without a doubt, lamination is required for racecar lettering-otherwise the first time you do any sort of cosmetic repair/maintenance on the body, wiping it down with any type of cleaner, all of your ink will be coming off..
  2. Looking for an additional racecar numbers design resource?

    Just looking ahead to the up-coming Racecar lettering season. Aside from the numbers we design on our own, we've used some really nice designs/number styles, etc. from "School of Racing Graphix" (srgfx.com) and for those familiar with them, they know they offer some really nice stuff and we've...
  3. Is mobile sign service a good investment?

    I've seen a few guys try the on-site thing at flea markets, but's never more than once or twice and while I give them props for trying the concept, my observation has been that any advantage the vendor may have having a wider variety to offer seems to be lost oddly for the same reason- there...
  4. Leads on where to get this shape Banner blanks?

    I really prefer them pre-made, at first- then I add whatever vinyl lettering, etc. from there. (should my idea for them really take-off, I would look into it the other way you guys are describing for sure.
  5. Leads on where to get this shape Banner blanks?

    So far, I’m just finding them pre-printed. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks!
  6. We don’t laminate our signs. Thoughts?

    The laminating equipment was about the last big piece we bought, so in the weeks before getting it, and while doing some small printing projects-just to practice, I did everything I could to convince myself that I could produce and sell stuff without the laminate. But man, once you feel that...
  7. In need of a local Versaworks Mentor

    I thank you both for the excellent tips! It for sure has an ethernet cable connecting the two-i'm starting to think the ram/hard drive space idea may be the culprit. Doesn't it seem odd that the problem happens randomly, as opposed to every time? (example-if it happened with one job, but then...
  8. In need of a local Versaworks Mentor

    Many thanks, Sir.
  9. In need of a local Versaworks Mentor

    Thanks for the response! It would be the first one that you described. (guess I need to look harder to find the option to remove/add/combine cutlines.) My biggest obstacle right now is when a print job randomly "pauses" in the middle of the printing process w/o any warning. (doesn't happen with...
  10. In need of a local Versaworks Mentor

    -Will work harder to accomplish that-thanks for listening!
  11. In need of a local Versaworks Mentor

    (Thanks for responding!) One scenario i'd love a resolution for is this one- i'll occasionally import an image that's already contour cut and will want to put the image in the middle of a much larger image (example-incorporating an image of a car into a dealership logo) -How can I get it so...
  12. In need of a local Versaworks Mentor

    Seeking the opportunity to bend the ear of someone locally (central Vermont) who has knowledge in Versaworks. (I've got questions about random scenarios that simply can't be answered of the phone, etc.) Much appreciation and thanks in advance! -Paul.
  13. Question question about Font organazation

    All great ideas, here. I created separate files to get a quicker "visual" of the style font i'm wanting to choose. example- I made a file that has all my script fonts-all typed out in the particular font names, etc. I then immediately try the word/name in a font that's right there in front of...

  16. To Laminate, or Not To Laminate?

    Being new to the print-side of things earlier this year, I had the same questions. I found that the laminate part of the process is very important, adding soooo much more durability to your work, etc. (also, anything not laminated will have the ink run off it almost immediately after wiping it...
  17. Suggestions Looking for suggestions- "what to call my new work area?"

    Maybe we could stay on topic today, and i'll save the Moral and Ethics questions for later in the week??!! (geez, just asking for some cute suggestions, folks!!...
  18. Suggestions Looking for suggestions- "what to call my new work area?"

    After several years of sharing workspace at my home in the garage and other areas , we're putting finishing touches on a new home that'll have a dedicated area for all the printer/cutter/laminator/ work table things. Crazy enough, i'm struggling with what exactly to call this new work area...
  19. HELP! Need advise ASAP: Have to (physically) move printer to a new shop - any special steps?

    I'd like to follow along on this topic, as I also have a move coming in about 90 days that'll involve my Roland VG-540 (about a 15min drive once loaded onto trl/trailer
