    Yeah....they were all kind of "juiced" up DBs when I was in college...the kind you wouldn't trust a drunk girl with... :omg:

  3. Particular Greek Font

    If you are looking to do work for this particular fraternity - you or they may be able to get a copy of this logo from the National Fraternity Charter organization. I know Pi Kappa Alpha were considered to be called the Pikes on my college campus - maybe Google it and you might be able to get a...
  4. Where did it go...

    Good question....
  5. Where did it go...

    Mach - did you delete a post? Cause yours wasn't the post I was refering to. Or are you sorry that only Admins can delete threads?
  6. Printers in the future?

    It would be a cool mod if it were possible but I don't think it would go main stream. Maybe like printing white is an adjustable addition to a 4 or 6 color printer. Maybe set it up for 8 color with a flourescent additive or something like that.
  7. Where did it go...

    There was a thread yesterday that is no longer here today, where did it go? It wasn't like it was getting too heated - however it was pretty much going nowhere. Can the OP remove the thread if they choose too or is it strictly up to the Admins? Too bad, it was amusing me on a very low...
  8. Printable Translucent Vinyl

    We've never had any complaints using White Translucent - The white backed lexan works as a diffuser to even out the light. so far its worked out great!

    I don't want to go on the cart.....Oh don't be such a baby.... :ROFLMAO:
  10. Suggestions for Sign Material

    MDO, Dibond/Polymetal would be my 2 cents. Dibond will be more expensive I think, but will be lighter and I would bet last longer. When doing work for your friends - make sure that they are aware that just because you are friends doesn't mean that they can low ball you and expect to eat the...
  11. Wind Damage

    Who does anything to the edges of alumacore? I know we've never done anything to the edges. It comes from the supplier, we pull the plastic sheeting off and then apply and install. Never knew we were responsible for protecting the edges...
  12. Wind Damage

    Sounds like it should be under that time period to at least call them and ask the manufacturer about it. I would think that if YOU did something wrong then the whole sign would've pulled up. But only part of it - their part of it - came up. I'd call them.

    How long has the sign been up?
  15. Printable Translucent Vinyl

    We use Oracals Printable Translucent - it was recomended to us by another sign shop that does alot of back lits. Solvent printable - then we usually laminate with a Luster.

    :clapping: Congrats - :toasting: - Enjoy your life. You have been given a second chance.
  17. Biggest Mistake...

    Gotchay beat - 500 Screen printed shirts - Front and Back - with location City spelled wrong. Worse is that I spell checked and it didn't catch it cause it was an alternate spelling :doh: - that sucked! But at least we didn't need shop rags for a LONG time

    Well I would say you are on your way - so far you are the only one I've heard of using Solvent vinyl printers for Fine Art. As for copy cats - unfortunately they will always be out there. But even the copy cats are never AS good as the original. And they know that, and true Art apprciators...
  19. College Student Needs Help.

    You basically need to pretend you are a perspective shop owner and you're looking to start a sign shop. So you start at the bottom. Start researching on the old Google and look up products. Call suppliers for information. Get some sign supply catalogs and look at what you would need to get...

    Well your life maybe insane, but your work is well crafted and greatly admired by many I'm sure. As for "higher margins", well, I can't imagine all that time and effort into print inovations can be dumped onto customers - after all...You are the one promising the cool affects and surface prints...
