I'm looking for someone that can print a wrap for a big truck (a mobile bank) in pearl colors, including shades of "white". We also may need to send several proofs, working with an internationally award winning interior designer. It will be a one of a kind, fabulous wrap. The truck is being...

Very nice! True craftsmanship. It's been many years since I've dealt with ladder jacks and a hand painted project at the same time. How often do you get this kind of project?

It really looks brighter than it seems to in these pictures. Most of the job was printed, laminated then cut using 3MIj180CV3/8518, with some HP cut vinyl for the smaller logos.

:covereyes:

I know I should know this but I don't....

What if you did the reverse of the letters in stylized stars and stripes?

Thanks! You both make me feel better. For some reason this guy has me knocked off center.

I'm in a sort of strange situation with a long time client (since 2000) that I have never gotten along with very well. We've even gone our separate ways for 4-5 years and still ended up doing business together for the last 5 years. This past January he feels like I charged him too much to wrap a...

Why not use the colorchoice rip? The profiles won't necessarily be "right" but you can do test prints on your most used materials and find ones that will work.

Profiles are a pain with Color Choice and can't be imported from a newer program. Over time I have come to pretty much ignore what they say they are for and after extensive test printing, have a few favorites that I use for nearly everything. I suspect the CJ, although it is a great printer, is...

Good luck with your CJ 500's you guys. I got mine used in 2006, converted it in 2009 and she does beautiful work for me every day, both plotting and printing. The only real trouble I ever had was due to using non-Roland inks. Never again.

If you don't do it someone else will. Can't really help the lady on design but for the man, can you do a layout with the little changes and stand with him next to the truck to point out the little improvements? He may go for it because he may not really see as big of a difference as you do, just...

The kiss of death is to say, (or even think too loud), "I will put this in a SAFE place." Everyone who knows me knows what it means when I claim to have put it in a safe place. We will be lucky to EVER find it. Yet somehow I fail to learn....... Good thing I've been in the same place a long time...

For one thing you have to put something your tax form and business cards and I hate writing graphic designer. Makes me feel like I work in an ad agency. I think "Commercial Artist" says it better, even though way back when that was an ad agency title. It makes sense I think. Even if you're not...

So, without the manual, instruction booklet, any tech support, prior lessons or schooling,you will need to enlist your congressmen to help, one as assistant and another as the test subject... They're good at establishing protocol on things they know nothing about.

What I used to do before converting my printer was trim the logo, then laminate, then trim the lam so it is about .25 bigger than the print and that way the print is protected from moisture. I have some pigment printed stuff out there on trucks for several years that still look good. If moisture...

Me too. Did you have an electro-pounce? Zzzzzzzzt! No fun getting up early to use the projector because we couldn't make the room dark enough during the day. lol. I miss my quills and my airbrushes and the wonderful smell of One Shot!

I remember the days BC, (before computer) when the salesman would come in with specs wanting to see color and an artist would sit down with pencil and color pencils and do a layout, then the salesman would drive back over to the customer who would change a color, calling for another hand drawn...

The client provides an auto-cad line drawing and general info on their client and then uses the rendering for a sales tool. These are so much fun I could do them all the time and it always pushes me to learn more about photoshop.

They've switched gears on the project again so I probably won't have to do it. :rolleyes: If I were to clear a vinyl wrap, wouldn't I have to put on several coats on to keep the edges down? I've seen it done on motorcycles and car hoods, but not a 10' tall, 30' truck wrap with seams. Also, I'm...
