  1. Head Strikes?

    Honestly You have your answer. I'd use Oracal over 3m(only because of preference), but I'd print 3m over arlon.
  2. Using some calendered material

    Agreed, Customer was not to happy with it, and the shop told him he signed off on the proof. I sold him on a art redesign as well, so I can't complain :wink:
  3. Using some calendered material

    It is laminated yes.
  4. Using some calendered material

    Yea....This is about as flat of a surface there will ever be. Same instance happened to the police cars here the badge had shrunk about 1/8th to 1/4" they hadn't noticed till I pointed it out while bidding on some other work for them, I ended up getting 4 so far to re badge at $400 a pop only...
  5. Using some calendered material

    No idea honestly, Customer didn't know either. The owner of this particular franchise isn't so nice. I tried when opening shop greeting him and letting him know if he needed our help or visaversa we could always help each other. But yea I pretty much got booted rather fast!
  6. Using some calendered material

    Just a good shot of what I will now be showing customers whenever they try to lower my price on lettering their utility vehicles etc. This is the worst I've seen yet. Its only about 1.5 years old if that. Customer spent 900 dollars for the graphics. Its Pixelated as hell and said the shop never...
  7. Hurry up! Hurry up and wait.

    I had a customer last week coming in to do the same thing, while I was in the middle of 4 police cars and 70 Pole banners for our city among a bunch of jobs. It's not a huge task list but I'm a 1 man shop. Any who, this lady came in, with no logo, or idea of what she wanted her artwork to...

    Looks like you get to do some repair work. Was not a pretty crash at PBIR :( Hope it all goes back together well!
  12. Social Media for Sign Shops?

    I actually use Facebook alot for advertising, but I DO NOT message customers first via facebook I cannot find an email from their website/profile. (unless they message me and even then I ask for their email, I feel that it is somewhat unprofessional and easy to lose track of orders etc). I also...
  13. Big squeegee + Cast Overlaminate

    Did some more searching and round that the Avery DOL 1060 has a 72lb kraft release liner. I think I should be alright as I'm proficient with the BS lam tool as it gets used many times every day, But still looking for anyone that has had hands on experience.
  14. Big squeegee + Cast Overlaminate

    Hello All, I have been using the big squeegee to laminate all of my prints and for "simple" cast products such as window letterings / smaller storefront signage I've been using Arlon 3220 G (cast) 30" overlam. I am curious if any one has used Avery DOL 1060 Overlam with the big squeegee. I...

    Fortunately, the customer has decided on glass top tables. The wood tables they were going to get had already been sold.
  18. Had a lot of fun with this install

    Which driver was this for? I think I may have seen this at Road Atlanta (I was out installing a trailer wrap to Danny Georges trailer as we handle most of his signage) It looks like you did a good job sir! I semi sponsored a wrap for this kid here in Florida that is very new to drifting, and...
  19. Installing graphics onto picnic tables.

    I have yet to install vinyl onto wood surfaces. I have done a few searches and from what I've read this seems to be doable if I use the correct paint or sealer(ones that don't contain silicone) What are some simple steps I can do to prepare and ensure a lasting install? What type of paint or...

    Thanks Jill, Means A-lot! All of those cayman wraps were done by hand I knifeless taped everythign since I had no equipment at the time.... The yellow cayman was EXTREMELY hard to get identical on both sides. This was before the guy with the green cayman offered me a business opportunity I...
