  1. Font help, sticker from the 70s

    I'm trying to recreate this sticker that the Norwegian VW distributor put on VW Golfs in the late 70s, but however familiar the font on the text is, I can't find it.. But I bet some of you can! :)
  2. Roland GX-24 plotter sucks

    That is true.. And also not what I'm saying. The GX-24 is an entry level desktop machine, I know it very well and use mine every day. The ones especially made for very long runs are most likely sprocket type ones, where misaligment over distance is a non-issue. I've yet to see any friction...
  3. Roland GX-24 plotter sucks

    A $2K desktop unit sucks because it can't cut for hours and hours unattended, something it never was designed for? This, every other Roland (or Summa for that matter) that I have worked with will stop to protect itself if the load is to heavy for the motor to pull, like yanking on a full roll...
  4. Summacut d620 or Graphtec vs. newer unit?

    I was in kind of the same situation a few years ago. I had sold my old Roland PNC-1850 workhorse a few years earlier, since my then employer did not like me having my own cutter (had it for years before starting there). But when I started for my own a few years later, I had to decide between a...
  5. Airport sign falls down-kills boy

    "Orsorio said that from what he saw, the sign appeared to be attached to the wall "only with liquid nails," which is a caulking-like substance similar to heavy duty hot glue." Wow... hope this is not the case! Very tragic and sad..
  6. Matte Metalic Black Car Wrap

    I have a roll of matte blue metallic 1080 on the way now, it looks sweet in the swatch booklet the dist have provided me with. http://youtu.be/DzCdq7hpHKQ I've yet to see a true black matte metallic, closest would be Oracal's Charcoal, but thats just a very dark grey. And the matte moonlight...
  7. Font for Volvo heavy machinery?

    Thank you all for the feedback, but a big thanks to jfiscus! :U Rock: With the font names identified I found a official download link from Volvo, here it is for anyone else that needs these fonts :) http://comportal.penta.volvo.se/ID_StandardPage/Index?page=98
  8. Font for Volvo heavy machinery?

    I found this on their website for construction equipment, they use the same font in their design profile:
  9. Font for Volvo heavy machinery?

    Looking to recreate some decals for Volvo heavy machinery, pic enclosed. For the other ones I have used DIN mittelschrift, but its just close, not a match.
  10. Glossy "Wet" Carbon Fiber Wrap Film?

    You do realize that it is possible to buy a car secondhand? And not being able to choose options from the factory? The M6 has been around since about 2005..
  11. Sign Spinner Board

    What handles? I've seen a ton of those sign spinner videos but yet to see handles on the signs.
  12. Retroreflective vinyl recommendations

    I'm using Oralite 5600E engineering grade exclusively, very happy with its performance. Been using this from the past 3 years, easy to cut/weed (for a reflective), no shrinking/lifting, and fairly easy to remove with proper heat. Comes in 14 different colours. Your vendor should be able to cut...
  13. Red Printing Hot Pink

    Hot pink as in Magenta? Magenta + yellow = red, so check if the yellow is out/clogged etc. Do a nozzle check print.
  14. Epson S70670

    OP has not been logged in to the forum since 4 minutes after making that first post..
  15. Vintage HMV sign and van

    Cool! :) I've been to that store :) Well at least if HMV kept the same location on Oxford Street over the years. When I studied graphic design in 03-05, my class went to London on a study trip. Nice times :)
  16. Summa S class 2 plotters, the new ones

    Received quotes on the S2 cutters today, and it looks like this: S275D-2E $6053 S275T-2E $8062 S2120D-2E $8062 S2120T-2E $10753 Now I'm perfectly fine with the size of my 24" Roland, and I have based my setup on 24" rolls. Very seldom do I make lettering larger than...
  17. I need 80,000...

    Just found a random supplier on google to show the material, but you do get black MDF. It's a bit more expensive than regular, but maybe not as expensive as having regular MDF painted, if that is the most cost effective solution up to now...
  18. Summa S class 2 plotters, the new ones

    Nicer on standard lettering vinyl (cal/cast)? Or where the T version is meant to excel? Thick/difficult materials like reflective etc?
  19. Summa S class 2 plotters, the new ones

    How is the pricing? Has there been a price increase for the S2 if you compare the same models? I got a price list from the supplier, but it was from 2012 and had the S1 models. He did not know how pricing would be on the new range...
  20. Mexican Restaurant Rebrand

    It only looks a bit pale since it's put right next to the old one where all the colours are turned up to 11 :) Looks nice on my monitor when I cover the top one :)
