I'm curious. When you say autowrap material, do you mean wrap film, or do you mean the AutoWrap brand of protective films? I don't have any experience with the latter. Who are your customers for that (generally speaking)? Sounds like an interesting market to be involved in. ...or am I wrong...

Usually I will throw in a level line and drop little registration squares strategically around the logo, then cut out the individual colors (one of them will get the level and center point marks), then weed and mask each individual. When my installer gets on site, they can use the center line...

Yeah, that is the really tricky part. If you want, he can take the .pdf and try to adjust the sizes. In my experience, if a customer doesn't have their logo in a vector format or at least in something better than a 318x318 jpg they don't really notice little differences like that.

Oh, I know how to get it done. But there are many ways to skin a cat, and I wanted to know how you all approach these kinds of vinyl jobs. And that pic was just something I grabbed that had three colors. Some of the work I do regularly has drop shadows and outlines and all kinds of fun...

I was elbow deep in a big instructional thing, saying, first you find out this, and then that and then you apply this and lay that out in this way and then rotate by this and see if it... It was all too much. So, I tried it and saw how I could do it. How does this look? Squares in magenta.

Greetings. Welcome!

I've worked for a few different sign makers, and everyone seems to have a different approach to this. I'm curious how you all do it. Here's the situation. We have a logo with 3 distinct colors. These colors are each to be cut out individually out of vinyl; let's say that printing is not an...

Ahhh, it is for the client! Now I see. Okay, now I get it. I was imagining an installer on site trying to put a graphic on a store window and the shop owner looking all judgy at them "I can see the cut lines on the backing paper! For God's sake are you even a professional?" And then I was...

I'm sorry, but I still don't totally understand. This stuff helps so the customer doesn't see marks on the original backing paper? Is that important? Does it change how the vinyl looks when it gets applied? If you used it and liked it, it's not my place to try and change your mind - maybe...

Fontsquirrel came up with F25 Bank Printer Regular.

Is etched glass an option? You can cut a pattern into it, print onto it or just cover the whole window. That would give you some degree of privacy.

Cool looking trophies! I agree with the wet app suggestion.

I've run into similar situations with those monument signs where irregular brick makes perfect placement tricky. One time we had the install guy out there with a saw shaping a panel on site; he wasn't happy and it wasn't our finest work. If you're abandoning the idea of cleaning the sign, or...

If you've already got a nuclear weapon, I think we're missing the elephant in the room. I'm betting on the senator's son car accident, personally.

Strange. I'd want to see what the material looked like before you print it. Some people have suggested less heat; that sounds like a good idea. But it might just be a bad roll; how long have you had it?

I have seen a lot of different strategies tried by the businesses I've worked for. The sad reality is that people have developed a kind of internal ad blocker. The zone out during commercials, they just throw away junk mail without ever looking at it and they blur out sponsorship logos. We've...

Yeah, I wouldn't want a leaky canister of Tritium in my house, so there's something to be said about slapping a warning label on the stuff. But I just don't get the layers of red tape. You're probably right that it might be a generalized panic about anything radioactive. Humanity spent so...

What exactly did I get wrong?

lol... totally. I seriously doubt that.

I said: "From what I read, Tritium signs aren't hazardous. I wonder why they have so much regulation." Now I have you and Gino piling on me. You called me a "shop goon". Gino said "...you don't tend to be thorough in doing your homework. Is this a product or something left over from your...
