I need to provide an estimate for a customer who wants to order a 6' x 14' backlit sign face. I was thinking it would be best to apply my reverse-cut graphics to the inside of a clear polycarbonate sheet and paint the background color. I have never produced a sign like this and I am not sure...

I have a customer in the West Chicago area that has requested a quote from me for producing and installing a 2' x 8' wall-mounted aluminum cabinet (approx 15' above a sidewalk on brick building). I am looking for someone in the area to handle the installation of this sign for me. I will...

+1 for Peachtree! They built a couple of these monuments for us (custom) and they turned out great, great quality and customer loves them (great customer service, too). I wish I could order something from them every week.

Thanks for the replies, I have decided to go ahead with the VP-540i. I went and looked at it and the machine is in excellent condition. The VP prints quite a bit faster than my SP, fast enough for what we need anyway. A one year parts and labor warranty makes me feel better about it being a used...

I have been putting off this purchase for a long time, but it is finally time to lay our SP-300v to rest and buy a new printer. I am looking at purchasing one of the following: Used (refurbished) VP-540i - $16k Comes with a 1 year parts and labor warranty, has been refurbished to print like...

UPDATE: Glad I called to talk to the customer! They said to just resubmit my quote using the same materials/substrate as I have been using all along..... score. All that worrying for nothing. Thanks again for the replies, happy new year!

Thanks for the replies! I assumed that they are only requesting these materials because it is what a competitor has provided. The funny part about this is that my company has been providing this specific item to the customer for the last several months, and now with this most recent RFQ they are...

I have received an RFQ for a potentially huge account today. I have already been doing some monthly promo signs for this company for the past few months, and now have the chance to bid on more items which they would be ordering on a monthly basis. One of the items that I am quoting calls for...

I agree the Arby's logo completely misses the mark. I do not understand the weird glare or whatever that is in the apostrophe, and the 3d bevel just doesn't make any sense either. These brands are supposed to be setting the bar for others, and if we all start modeling after this garbage, we are...

I like this, CheapVehicleWrap. Please tell me more. Could we just bondo over the recessed areas as well? Or hot glue? I think you are on to something.....

Not sure how many times I need to say the same thing, but I am using 3951ra. My initial attempt was with 3551ra because that is what we used on all of the flat areas of the van, and ran into trouble on these fenders. That is the point in which I reprinted these panels on 3951ra. :signs101:

No, not at all.... I guess I have seen some pretty ugly debates on this forum and I was probably a little quick to make that statement, my apologies... I was furious at this stupid van this morning... I wonder what my customer is thinking of me at this point. I have taken the van back from him...

brand new van/paint. Installation was done in garage at ~70 degrees.

And I don't mean to sound unappreciative of your advice, I appreciate it very much, I just know how much everyone on here lives to flame the newb hacks, just want to put it out there that I am not one of those characters.

In my first post I specified that my subsequent attempts were using 3951ra, so this is cast film we are talking about. And 290 laminate was used for everything. Please don't give me the newb treatment, I have been in the biz for many years.

Well the primer was my previous attempt, didn't use it this time around. I did try working the vinyl into the area without using heat, but that only goes so far then I needed it to stretch a bit and that is when I applied heat. And the print was sitting down into the groove without using much...

This is the job from hell that will not go away. The fender/wheel well areas on this van have been giving me trouble. There is a recessed area about 1/2" or so deep and I CANNOT get my material to stay put in these areas. It keeps popping back up in the form of bubbles, some small, some very...

Thanks for the replies! I am going to research the option of the band-it fasteners with a mesh banner.

I have been approached by our city to give them options for mounting a banner to the structure in the attached photo. But, they have given me stipulations which have made it difficult... First off, they want the banner to be mounted within the 2 arched beams which stretch over the road, in...

Not sure if this thread was started asking for critique or not, but I would also make the outline navy blue, perhaps a little thicker stroke, maybe even a slight block shadow to it as well (all navy). I would also lose the gray/blurred drop shadow and make the name a bit larger. One other thing...
