  1. Thinking about adding a Wacom (or similar)

    This is what I've always been told. Spend more time with it. I have an older model that I keep trying to teach myself to use. Every resource/tutorial/individual I reach out to says that you just need to spend time with it. Its akin to driving on the other side of the road. Or learning to drive...
  2. Car Wrap Design Cost?

    +1 for the vector of the logo. And is a vector template too much to ask for on this one? (just wondering) Also, are you going to add rules? Deadlines? Restrictions? Cash prize amount? Sounds like fun and I want to play.
  3. Reflective Ground Graphics

    Happy Friday guys, Before this thread turns into something else, know that you're preaching to the choir. I felt the same way when my estimator/sales guy brought this project in. We spend a lot of time in heated "What the pluck were you thinking, we cant make that" meetings. I fought this one...
  4. Reflective Ground Graphics

    Just coming back to provide a conclusion to this one. We ended up using a combination of the WnW with print cut 5600 on top as 2B and ams suggested. The 5600 grips the WnW pretty well. For me this is NOT the ideal solution, but it works. But we had a meeting with our client (samples provided...
  5. Dry Erase

    We've had success with a lam called "Wypet". Fellers 2018 catalog. pg 74. middle right.
  6. WrapCAST from Grimco

    How is it holding up? I know it says cast, but is it shrinking at all? What did you print with? EcoSol? Latex? I've got a job with a ton of vertical panels and I thought this media may make more $ense then say, 3M 1J180Cv3 (which I have in stock)
  7. WrapCAST from Grimco

    Hello all, Grimco has a new item in their Briteline series called "WrapCast" I was wondering if anyone has used it and what you thought of it. From the site: 2 mil cast, high performance film Repositionable, low initial tac and air release adhesive 100% Opacity hiding the darkest of paints...
  8. employee stealing

    On top of all the stuff others have mentioned... You could be getting into hot water with all the other companies with RJM in the name in a design related industry, that my feel some way about their name being indexed on search engines in this open forum. +1 for deleting the OP. Plus, I'm sure...
  9. Art being cut off in Production manager

    Have you tried loading other files, not associated with this job? Have you tried looking at the tiling settings? Maybe something got inadvertently changed? Another possibility: You mentioned that the file was raster? But what file type exactly? I've seen files where the image was not completely...
  10. Question Sandblasting Komacel vs Komatex

    Correct me if I'm wrong. But I thought you could change the blast media depending on how aggressive you need it to be. For example, 1 for cedar and other woods. 1 for glass and high energy surfaces and another for metal / rust and paint removal etc. Maybe switch it up to get the result you are...
  11. Rant Help Make Our Lives Better: Reform Illustrator's Canvas Size Limit

    While I agree, I learned early on, never leave it to those guys to check. Two scenarios I can recall where a spanking and a profit loss was handed out for, passing responsibility. Fortunately, it wasn't my team that took the beating. Once, client being group of Verizon stores, I had a vendor...
  12. Rant Help Make Our Lives Better: Reform Illustrator's Canvas Size Limit

    I'm straddling the fence on this one. I used to be hardcore team #downwith227. Who has time to wait for Adobe to get with the program? Plus I'm still team #CS6. Not going to upgrade to the subscription model anytime soon. So even if Adobe did make this change, I wouldn't see it anyway. You know...
  13. xc540 hiccup I cant figure out

    I had something similar happen to my SC540 before. Older machine, same tech as far as the rail goes. After a ton of stress and a few web searches I went back to the machine and examined super close. Didn't have time to wait for for a tech to show up. What I found was that the dust (years of ink...
  14. Need Help INVOICES and the State of CA.

    This is a touchy situation. We know what the California Law "says", but how it often done is an entirely different situation. Ask any Sign franchise owner. Then ask the exact same question. But the say, "Now tell me the truth." immediately after the question. Check the look on their face...
  15. Low quality sign shops here in maine

    I have to agree with Gino here. I see [fill in expletive the describes poor quality / craftsmanship] signs all the time. And I wonder to myself, "A customer was actually cool with this? Really?" I even have to set the bar with my production guys sometimes. I see a flaw or poorly done thing and I...
  16. Reflective Ground Graphics

    Hi Folks, Thanks for your replys / suggestions. As some of you have suggested, we are going to go back to the client consultation with this one. My estimator is having a meeting with the client later this week. We are going to pitch a couple of proven options rather that reinventing the wheel...
  17. Reflective Ground Graphics

    Thanks 2B. I had considered that. But unfortunately for me, I'm kind of stuck in a spot with pricing. My current price point (read: price point my estimator has got us locked in to) is for the one layer. I may be able to pull off 2 layers. But there is not enough dough in this gig to go three...
  18. Reflective Ground Graphics

    Hi All, Hope you're having a good week (its still early yet). I was hoping someone could recommend a product/film. I have a client for which we do do a ton of Floor graphics for. After some trial and error, we've settle on a product called Panorama Walk&Wall. Works well. Prints OK w/ EcoSol...
  19. wages working for a company

    Not the answer to your question but, your deal is pretty nice. I haven't seen a deal like that in a long time, in my years in the biz. I find that in my local market (US, West Coast) employees (on the lower end of the skill sets), tend to be somewhat nomadic, following the money. But the deals...
  20. Any ideas on this Font? I'm stuck.

    Great! Much appreciated. Thanks.
