  2. Its 5:48 pm on Friday before a holiday weekend...

    And I answer the phone. "Can you make me a sign 3.5x5' on corex, I already have the artwork done." Ummm. Send me the "artwork" and I'll see what we can do, we were literally just about to close for the weekend. Of course this guy needs his sign for a shop on the boardwalk, and he needs it...

    Hi, I have a client requesting black and /or grey basic ribbed undershirts that we are going to have silk-screened with discharge ink. The only thing I can find is a 4 pack of hanes undershirts... I don't have a problem using these 100% cotton tanks, I just want to make sure they will work with...
  8. That's Just the Way Its Got to Be

    A few years ago, a client requested a 10ft x 1ft banner to hang under her awning to advertise her specials. It was a little tricky, but we got everything to fit nicely and still be ledgible. I send her the layout, and she is fixated on the fact that "SPECIALS" is not written across the top...
  9. Florentine Silver for a Boat

    I'm looking for some outdoor rated Florentine SILVER to be used on a boat. I thought SignGold would work, but the silver is not rated for outdoor use. Also, it doesn't have to be real silver. And finally, its got to be done with cut vinyl, they will not spring for real guilding. Thank you!
  10. 8 Pass vs 16 Pass etc

    I know this is a newb question, but we can't figure out what the difference is between various pass modes. Does the higher pass rate use more ink? Is it higher resolution? Or does it just take longer to print? We just got a CJV30-130 and we can't get it to print poorly. The difference between...

  12. Attaching HDU to Dibond

    I have a 4x6' 1" thick single sided HDU panel that I am mounting to a sheet of 3mm polymetal for added rigidity. We have done this in the past, and used a 2 part epoxy from Home Depot (probably some Locktite brand stuff, I don't have an empty tube in front of me.) I actually have 5 panels to...
  13. Problems with ProMag Magnetic Sheeting

    In the past month, I've had 4 clients return because their magnets fell off their cars. One person even came in before it fell off to show us how the edge was rolling. We remade the magnet (at our cost) and sent him on his way. I attributed it to a fluke, user error, etc. We were a little...
  14. Painting over full wrap

    We have a client who bought a used extra-large trailer, complete with crappy, old, faded, full wrap including the former companies name and logo all over it. Of course no one wants to spend any real money to remove this monstrosity, so I'm here to ask for your advice. I had an idea to...
  15. How much time will you spend on a Proposal?

    I got a call a few weeks ago about replacing signs at an apartment complex. They asked for something pretty simple, and I inquired about their budget before we went out to the site. The project manager didn't really know, but he felt that the developer would be willing to invest a decent amount...
  16. Holiday Window Painting

    One of our favorite clients asked us to do a holiday window for her... We've never painted a window, so this sounded like fun. The artwork is altered from a design book (adding the white trim, santa cap, and fruit basket to the lovely lady.) The drawing was cleaned up in corel, then pen-plotted...
  17. Its nice to have power back

    We finally got power back at our shop today, as well as internet & phone. Its been a very hard week, and its going to be an even harder recovery for us on the Jersey Shore. My home still is without power, and updated info from the power company shows that we may not get it back until this...
  18. Lowest resolution for a banner

    I know the answer to my question already, I just want to make sure I'm not being insane. New client calls to request a 4x10 banner. He provides artwork that either scales to (approx) 5x10 at 36dpi, or 4x8 at 46 dpi. I sub out my printing, so I can't even test it out to see how terrible it...

    I'm full of promo requests today!! My client would like some non-traditional die-cut refrigerator magnets. Large in size (3x5"ish), total qty 1000ish. I have plenty of vendors with standard dies, but I can't find anyone with a custom die. Help!

    I have a client requesting "Three or Four Different Versions" of a 2013 calendar... The kind that has the small strip on the bottom that is customized with the business info, and usually is some take on Americana, Cats, or Flowers. So, where do I get them? I have one supplier, but they only...
