  1. Suggestions Side by Sides, ATV, Motorcycle "wraps" Material combos?

    I have a couple good clients that are really hounding me on "wrapping" their Side by Sides. Both are Can Am Maverick X3's. The one guy owns a local custom car paint shop and has already BullyDogged panels and sprayed them, but he really wants one of my wild artwork jobs (clipart power slop I...
  2. HP 360 parts source?

    I am out of the service contract with HP for our 360 latex, and having an obvious carriage belt issue, so I am trying to figure out a Florida tech or a parts source. Anybody have suggestions?
  3. 3M 2080 Deep Space..... Have you used it recently?

    Got a truck project and have been looking at using the 3M 2080 Deep Space "Flip" Film. But as I look at the new 2080 Color Deck, taking it outside, moving it around, it does not really look like the extreme color flip from purple to coppery-tone, like it is advertised still online to have...
  4. Avoiding wrinkles over rivets

    For real rivets, The Rollie Pro is superior. For removable hex head enclosed trailer "rivets", the same Rollie Pro technique can be used, but you will still need to come back and squeegee closer into the rivet base with the hard edge. And they will still typically pop up, at least a little bit...
  5. Suggestions Anybody have a current 3M 180MC Sign Vinyl Chart on Hand?

    Thank You for the helpful responses all...... Good Stuff...
  6. Suggestions Anybody have a current 3M 180MC Sign Vinyl Chart on Hand?

    I am trying to get as close as possible to PMS 294 in an air egress 3M exterior vinyl for a large logo on an interior wall out at Cape Kennedy. We do not seem to have any 3M color charts in house, was hoping somebody could give an educated opinion if they have the 180MC chart and a PMS chart to...
  7. Another Pricing Question!

    Best choice is Gemini..... Contact them, setup your company with them, then send to their quote department the details of what you are wanting, after referencing their products. Their finishes are better than "your local CNC operator" can likely offer. Plus with Gemini, you have a warranty...
  8. $30k for logo design?

    Logo design pricing is also based heavily on the company usage. A company like a FedEx is going to reproduce that logo literally hundreds of millions of times, so the cost of the development and usage rights is different than Larry's Plumbing service that has 5 employees and 4 vans.
  9. Discussion Not exactly logo......................................

    I dont think with the new C21 branding they are that strict....... Both of these truck concepts were approved, supposedly with corporate for coop.........And they are clearly not to spec on the corporate guidelines. I would just make it to the clients specs of "more color" and let it be known...
  10. Full Coverage Dye Sub Shirt Source?

    Unfortunately, I think my Georgia wholesaling source for full coverage dye sub shirts has had to close their doors. I am having trouble locating a possible new source. Any suggestions for outsourcing companies?
  11. Solution for "magnetics", on aluminum trucks

    I hate magentics. I typically talk most clients into not getting them and just doing direct surface vinyl or print. But I have these FWS Gator Trappers, that use their personal trucks and just absolutely have to have the ability to remove and put back on their vehicle signage. Just had the...
  12. Suggestions Cloud Storage? Do you use it?

    They are hardware I would guess, since they each hold 6 HD's, but only utilize 5 for the RAID 5 configuration. The NAS's have the ability for remote access, however I have never enabled that feature.
  13. Suggestions Cloud Storage? Do you use it?

    I run Dual NAS drives, 12TB per, one mirrors the other, both with their own RAID 5 redundancy. Each has a different encryption password as well. The physical NAS's are for the added safety of unplug, grab and go, since I am right at Cape Kennedy and hurricanes are a yearly thing to deal with...
  14. Discussion Not sure I'm thinking correctly.........................

    How much time goes into one of the roll offs? Are you hand lettering them? For 2 of my roll off clients, I switched them over years ago to just single color, standardized designs, and got some waterjetted thin gauge steel stencils made up. Light enough to be able to be taped tight to the...
  15. Aluminum DiBond rounded corners

    yep. standard corner rounder........ choose what size die radius, I use 1/2". Works great and fast to do.
  16. Cut Vinyl vs Printed Vinyl...

    Do the math on making a yard sign yourself, then compare that to subbing to a flatbed wholesaler. My cost, without including labor time, works out being about $4.XX per sign. I can have somebody else spend their time on labor making them for me for less than $6 per. So I only make 1-10 coros...
  17. How Low Do You Let Your Inks Get?

    I tend to kick them out of the HP after they hit below 50ml. Had a couple instances like others have mentioned, letting it go to 0, and having a quality print issue or the head totally dies prematurely. I do keep some of the cartridges and will swap them back in for short runs to use up as much...
  18. Suggestions Cloud Storage? Do you use it?

    A friend of mine in the mid-west, that runs a large corporate shop, just had their entire company's IT system jacked by ransomware. They did not pay the requested 7 figure amount in bitcoin to regain access to their files. Instead they created a new system and migrated to cloud usage. Huge mess...
  19. Again.... Need FLEXI File Opened

    Thank You Sir
  20. Again.... Need FLEXI File Opened

    Hate being a pain....... But I was mistaken on the last FLEXI File I was lucky enough to get somebody to open up for me. It was the wrong file. Became obvious once the old van arrived yesterday afternoon and I started noting the Ghosts from the old lettering. Would anybody be able to open...
