  1. Magnetic Box and Pan Brake vs Tension Box and Pan Brake?

    for those that have a Box and Pan Brake (Finger Break) which one do you suggest? we were looking at a tension model and came across the Baileigh Magnetic break https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWvMW1Zxoyc
  2. Best transfer tape to avoid bubbles on a long storage

    exactly, this size can easily be slid under a table/laid on a shelve or if you are pressed for space, store it on the edge.Lean it against the wall
  3. This is what I'm working on now, thoughts?

    3rd row, 2nd column make the cattails shorter and use them in place of the "i"s The leaves are a close second but these leaves more definition and they force the wording to be smaller.
  4. Wall Graphic adhesion issue

    we are seeing this become an issue more and more with painted walls. we are even seeing issues with VHB tapes adhering properly. The VOC count in the paint is what is making the difference. Low or no VOC paint will have to be prepped before graphics. rubbing the area with alcohol or roughing the...
  5. The Great Seal of the United States (with the Eye in the Pyramid): aluminum and steel

    looks very good. if you do it again (or a like project) would suggest making the background frosted acrylic so you can see through it and also if you ever add LED lighting the shine through is AWESOME

    easy fix, get those rubber slip finger holders that you can place on pencils for little kids http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/celco-triangular-pencil-grips-ja375730
  7. Whats your favorite weeding tool?

    whatever is closest, usually it is an xacto blade, #11, prefer the sharp point
  8. Ever happen to you...............??

    we have had a couple of time when the wrong name was placed on the check we cross it out with a single line and then write ours on there. knock on wood they always go through just fine. sounds like you are getting the "scenic view" road map
  9. Business card

    Exactly, you can offer suggestions but the customer will get what the want and you will get paid for doing it The E-mail address was most notable for me...........
  10. Wrapping Elevator Interior Walls

    This, with the known factor that people will pick at an edge and pick at a seam, what about a High Tack material? Arlon 8000, granted removal will be a total PITA!!!!
  11. Today's project

    Like the concept and the use of "shutters" as flowers the bottom version reads easier, either way it is suggested to show the design you place it on a lighter colored background. Black on dark grey gets no contrast. PS: the shutters you are using are different from the ones shown at the top...

    Any of the Merchant Members here should be able to meet your needs
  13. Logo for a multi purpose business

    agreed, the icons are bit much and distracting. I'm thinking of the large companies, 3M Nestle McDonald Ford they all have a logo but a list of the services / products are done elsewhere I think a darker green would be better Either way, a nice clean design. The top R corner has the...
  14. Data Backup/Ghosting or Cloud service for files?

    accessing designs via a cloud is directly related to how stable / fast your internet is both for up & down speeds. If you are wanting a cloud based, then Google Drive, Dropbox, etc... I believe both options will allow for automatic backups we use a NAS system for in shop designs since we have...

    If what you are looking for is a list of issues and how they were resolved, then you will need to make a list and then post them or MUCH BETTER IDEA - use the dedicated section for your printer and see what issues have come up and what the solutions were for those issues bottom line this...
  16. Window perf on roll down window

    If you add perf to the windows, make sure that you apply the perf below the rubber/felt edge seal of the window seal. this way when the window is fully up the perf is still below the rubber/felt edge seal and as the window is lowered the perf edge does not catch on the rubber/felt edge seal ie...
  17. Material selection: Peel and stick decals

    most of the time looking for these type of decals are mostly interested in the $$$ of the decal. any material that has a permanent adhesive will give you several years, obviously adding a lamination will add rigidity if you want it to true PITA to remove then a HT (High Tack) material is best...
  18. Solid color wrap vinyl shipped with premask - How to install?

    this only works if it is the paper premask, if they used the clear version then this will not work
  19. Textured interior wall recommendation

    what type of adhesion/life span are you looking for? Arlon 8000 is a HIGH tack material, which will damage the paint upon removal. PhotoTex is designed for textured surfaces and is easier to remove. again any cast material should eliminate the edge curl
