Could be UV as well, there is more UV-B getting to the ground than ever before, even UV-C which should not get to ground level at all. I did a vehicle with Avery Supreme on a truck, then removed it a few years later. The vinyl from chest height down was fine, the top portion was baked and more...

I have used the Avery for years, I still see a wrap on a trailer around town I did in 2009, coming of in a few spots and rivets for sure but still making money for the client. Only issue I have had is with the older white backed colours, the glue came of during removal and was a pain the get...

I trim around the silicone, I don't want to waste time breaking the water seal on a trailer, never had a client complain. One commented on it once and when I explained about disturbing the seal they agreed I did the right thing. If they did end up wanting me to remove it and reseal after the...

Keep in mind running any print, laminate and cutting set up is a full time job in itself, and making a large format printing operation profitable, you need to have it printing sellable prints at least 4 hours a day. I have run many printers and laminators for other shops, but I still outsource...

This used to be a sailing competition, now it's like F1, a money competition.

I think it is more simple than you think, and working in inches is a smart way to work as most of your materials are measured that way. First off always design at full size, that is one of the advantages of Corel, and it makes for less mistakes down the road. The tip to ignore text size and...

In my opinion when looking for answers to large scale problems in our modern society, you need to follow the money. The RAND Corporation recently released a paper on income trends, here is a link to the paper...

This accident was horrible, but it was caused by drivers inexperienced with the conditions, and they did not adjust their driving accordingly. This is not a Texas thing, it`s just human nature. I used to drive an airport shuttle between Banff and Calgary, a cab in Banff, and commuted for two...

If it only happened once it was probably a computer hiccup, maybe downloading files, or stuck in a loop. Computers know when I am near, they seem to screw up more the closer I get.

The heat settings can make a difference too, but that takes a lot of fooling around with your profiles!

Print ready pdf's are the best way to get predictable results from any printer in my opinion. I have quite a bit of experience with printing, I worked at a graphic design firm and I was prepping print files for the senior designers mural projects for companies like McDonalds, 7-11.I ran multiple...

Pdf's, gradients and transparencies are always an issue, no matter what when printing I merge the entire background into one bitmap, this makes sure the printer is getting what you want, then leave the fonts and spot colored vectors in a layer over the background.

I just use regular laminate, tell the client the material is not certified for dry erase but is WAY cheaper. I have one client that is on her second A-frame, the inserts are printed, regular lam and mounted on aluminum panel. It's a hair studio that changes specials almost every day, the signs...

I use magnets and folders. I have a magnetic board with columns labelled design, proofing, printing, table, install etc. The 3" by 8" magnet has job name, description written in dry erase marker and a permanent vinyl number, corresponding to a numbered plastic folder containing all the...

This is almost a weekly occurrence for me, if it is a small job, I just quote back my charges to turn it into a vector, this either gets rid of an unprofitable/cheap client, or prompts them to actually get the vector logo, sometimes they even pay the design charges. If it is a larger job and...

Short cut for this if you want, is right click on the text and hold, drag to the path your are using and a little target forms, then let go and a box pops up, click on fit text to path.

Read page 18 of this https://www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Rockefeller Foundation.pdf report from 2010 by the Rockefeller Foundation, this was a scenario called "Lock Step" that detailed the things that would happen to society during a pandemic, eye opening stuff.

Yes some industrial cleansers have degreasers in them, which is basically glue remover.

You can only control yourself and your environment. In this current situation globally, everyone is more tense, getting less sleep and experiencing more stress. In my opinion the best thing to do when confronted, no matter who is wrong or bullying, jut walk away if possible. If you can't walk...

Yes I just never put any text up there, curved body and straight text just don't get along!
