From what I can tell, you are basically starting a sign shop that specialises in window coverings is that correct? "We're starting a company that prints window coverings" Are you just producing a product, or are you offering design and installation services as well?

That is a great idea, thanks for that I am going to give it a try!

I have a client asking for a watering conditions signs with small status slider signs. They are asking for "secure" sliders. The only thing I can think of as it will be wall mounted is getting small posts welded on the face that the sign can "hang" from and small padlocks through holes on the...

BKBRO summed it up well, and this is something I have quite a bit of experience with. If colour is an issue I always have the client sign off on a physical proof and I charge extra for colour matching from job to job, I tell every client that colour is fluid and fluctuates from job to job. As a...

Downhill mountain biking, I watch all the world cups, which requires a 4am wake up sometimes!

It does not matter what YOUR printer is capable of, you need to keep to CMYK to retain consistent branding across platforms, I don't just do one type of printing for clients I brand them head to toe. Unless you want me to run down to your shop every time I need a print? How are your rack card...

DO NOT design in RGB for print ever. Leave that for the web were it belongs, RGB is for light shining through a colour, CMYK is for light reflecting off that colour. I have worked with many top companies, Starbucks, 7-11, McDonalds, Tim Horton's and anything other than print ready CMYK pdf's are...

I always say no to matching paint, even if you charge for it you will never get it perfect, it's like trying to get a car guy to pay full price for decals, ain't gonna happen!

Low res jpeg for all proofs. I used to send low res pdf's and had designed a business card for a client, he never responded but showed up a few weeks later, threw a blurry business card on the desk and told me I was a crappy designer as his card turned out blurry that he had printed elsewhere. I...

I have wrapped window frames before, but made from aluminium on a store front, so it has stuck quite well so far, it made it through last winter just fine!

Yes I agree, not worth the hassle even quoting on it, thanks for the input guys!

hmm, that sounds complicated, do you mean spray paint them, don't wrap them? And shout out to Pender Harbour, I used to spend time at Hardy island when I was a kid!

I have a request to wrap some white exterior vinyl window frames with black vinyl, my gut is saying no but I thought I would put out a feeler and see if anyone has experience with this. The problems I see are 1) cleaning, corners and etc filled with dust and dirt so possible failure point/time...

I run windows 10 and Corel on my old iMac, run better than any set up I have used before. The iMac is 8 years old runs on an Intel Core i5 but has 12GB RAM, whatever you get get lots of RAM!! I also run it on my Mac Book Pro for travelling and working, the only hiccup is my older Corel x5 does...

Truck frames are not for temporary pageant queen parade cars. https://easyflipframes.com/poster_and_banner_display_solutions/trailer-truck-banner-frames-2/

Looks like there are mounting bolts from an old sign, and power maybe? Would two mounting bars/beams work, top and bottom, make your sign a circle or rectangle, with rigid supports. That printed background looks cool, but will not last very long out in the elements, maybe something more simple...

What about a banner frame, it would be pain to remove every day though.

I am doing a very similar pick up job right now, all printed swoops partial wrap with cut text. I make a manageable print and cut file for all the separate text with bleed, this one is about 32" x 72" so the cutter can handle it. Then print the full length swoosh in pieces, the longest for the...

What about measuring at your local Ford dealership? Give them a call and ask if you can drop by for a measurement, it has worked for me before!

Yes I agree with this, worst case you have a bit of colour left over near the junctions
