  1. Gemini letters installed this week

    Hello everyone, haven't been on the forums for a little while, we are super busy. Thought I would share some photos of this job we installed this week. Customer provided the artwork, I had custom Gemini letters made. Top line of copy is formed plastic, lower is 3/8" cut acrylic. The leaf is cut...
  2. Looking for a quote on print on flexible semi-rigid substrate

    I am quoting a project that requires me to build a large cylinder (actually the shape of a popcorn bucket) that will have a print wrapping around the whole thing. The height of the bucket is approx 6-7' tall. We have pretty much figured out the construction of the inner framework etc. but I am...
  3. My new site built on Wordpress

    Before the bashing begins, I am NOT a web designer. I hate my previous website, and it is painful to update, so this time around I decided to use Wordpress as the base for my site. Through making my own template etc. I have come up with what I think is a workable solution. The site is not...
  4. Thoughts/Opinions on BBQ Sign

    This customer came to me and basically told me to go nuts with a design for their sign, total freedom on this thing. Size cannot exceed 32"w x 48"h. One idea they had and really would love to see is moving flames on the sign. I do not see a practical way to do this, so here is what I have come...
  5. Got a really fun job, but how do I do it? Print on anodized aluminum?

    I know a guy that works for a company that manufactures analog tapes (reels) and he contacted me a couple months ago about a possible job printing on the faces of these reels.

  6. Stock photo of Chicago style hot dog - where to find?

    I have been scouring istockphoto and everything I find will need lots of editing in photoshop, or is not in the right position. I need a chicago dog in a straight horizzontal position. Any ideas? BTW for anyone who doesn't know, a Chicago Style Hot Dog is not just a hot dog with a bunch of...
  7. Sad Story, ideas on how I should help?

    A local high school student who is the leader of the school spirit group had placed an order for t-shirts a couple days ago, I had been working on this with him for a few weeks now. Last night, just before I left work, he and his friend died in a horrible car accident just down the street from...
  8. Updating vehicle lettering design - input please

    This customer has had the current (before) design on his vans and signage for years. I did not design this, but have been reproducing these crappy graphics every time he gets a new van. I have hinted at a redesign a few times and he has not been interested because we usually do not have time and...
  9. LCD Monitor shuts off after 1 sec.

    Maybe this thing is garbage, I don't know, just thought I would check to see if anyone knew what the problem could be. I came into the shop this morning to a black (blank) monitor screen (I leave it on all the time). The little green light is still on, and if I turn the monitor off and then...

  11. It's going to be a loooong weekend...

    Well, since receiving a huge last-minute order I have been printing/weeding/taping for 3 days straight (15 hours per day). I have gotta work right through the weekend doing 12 hours each day to get this order done and shipped out on Monday so the customer can receive it one day ahead of...
  12. Looking for a substrate...

    Quoting a job for a customer who was VERY specific as to what he wants, and I need to find a lightweight substrate with a natural wood finish that will not warp. Size of this sign is 3' X 6' and it will be hanging from a ceiling. 1/4" plywood seems the obvious solution, but I think that it will...
  13. Google Wave, anyone interested in an invitation?

    So I got invited to Google Wave, but still have no idea how I might use it. It seems interesting and all, but I still don't fully understand what it is capable of. Also, interface seems kind of laggy and awkward, but I am sure it will improve. Right now the only way anyone can try it out is...

  15. Source for 4-5" thick foam letters?

    I am quoting a job right now for the inside of a shopping mall, customer wants his 12" letters to be 5" thick.... I think 5" thick is a bit much, but he is pretty set on this, and I want to at least be able to quote it for him (letters will be mounted to the facade of his store). I have already...
