  1. Copywrite Infringement ?

    It is an undying myth that changing by a "percentage" will keep you from running afoul of copyright law. That have been shown in case law 100's of times. If any of the original is recognizable on the altered product, it is an infringement no matter how much or how little was altered or...
  2. Help Bag Signs

    Anyplace that can sew a banner can make a bag sign. I guess I am a bit blessed as I have 3 local companies to choose from when it comes to sewing. No banner sewing co. near you? I'd bet a local sailmaker could do that as well.
  3. to the sign painters

    If it was a regular backlit panel, it would be a simple spray job with some Spraylat and a computer cut mask. No way I'd ever use vinyl plus paint on that for the finished product. Go all vinyl or all paint. You don't say what is on there now or what the substrate is but like on any...
  4. Copywrite Infringement ?

    How much would that be, exactly? Gotta a cite to that "law?"
  5. FLAAR report on SEPIAX Ink

    I don't think speed is really all that much of an issue, but heat is. At the Orlando show they had a retrofit machine printing Tyvek. I suppose they did that for two reasons. The first was for ease of heating the substrate to the proper temp (50°C?) as that stuff is very thin...plus Tyvek is...

  7. Stupid Question But. . .

    It depends on the type of rivet you purchase. Some are merely pressure applied and some will work in in a std. rivet app tool.
  8. Copywrite Infringement ?

    It could be both a copyright and a trademark issue. Take the image of Mickey Mouse. Disney has the copyright on the image. Mickey is also the trademark found on many goods and services as well. I wish the guy well. And hope he makes lots of $$$ because if either of the other two...
  9. Copywrite Infringement ?

    Just so you know...it is "copyright"...as in RIGHTS that you have when creating any intellectual property.
  10. Window perforation laws & regulations

    The last time I looked, which was about 14 months ago, Florida had no law(s) on window perf...just laws on window tint. No case law that I am aware of which would include perf in the tint category. I can't speak for any other state but in Florida you can completely opaque rear windows or...
  11. What's a 'T' among friends? LOL

    STOUGHTON, Wis. (AP) -- A painter working on a Wisconsin water tower left behind one big typo. The mistake had Stoughton (STOH'-tuhn) residents scratching their heads. The new paint job had the town's name without the second T. It was spelled "S-T-O-U-G-H-O-N," rather than...
  12. 2 Color Layering

    When layering in the shop it should be done dry. You do not want to wet the first color carrier sheet. Ever since my first multi-color vinyl job, I have used a 3-point registration system like I use in my screen print business. I use industry std. print reg marks. Weed the first positive...
  13. Procedure when informed of insufficient funds?

    Thankfully you seem to have a good client and not a true deadbeat. I have handled many dozens of NSF checks over the years but only 2 in my business the rest were as treasurer for one organization or another. Every business should have a working arrangement with their deposit bank in that...
  14. Problem trying to open a file

    http://coreldraw.com/forums/t/19026.aspx may be of help. I ran into that once and I'll be damned if I can remember what I did to correct it....sorry.
  15. Curtain Side Trailer Graphics

    I think your customer has experience. Those sides either get rolled or folded a lot. Even a perfectly made banner (vinyl/vinyl) will look like crap after being rolled and folded a few dozen times. For the purposes of flexibility (and non-cracking) I'd be thinking a water-based sign...
  16. Screen Printing education

    There is a huge amount to learn, that's for sure. I could teach a monkey to print. Almost anyone can pull (or push) a squeegee. The rest is experience. Proper art prep, screen making skills, ink chemistry, color mixing, etc. is where the knowledge comes into play. I don't know if he...
  17. Iron on labels

    You need to define the susbstrate. For home use, sublimation is the way to go in most cases.
  18. Bike graphics

    Curious - what does it cost to get a license from Honda to print/cut after market stuff?
  19. Liftpod

    I am always wary about stuff made in China. So far they don't have a good record when it comes to exports whether it is digital printers, food stuffs (human and animal) wallboard, children's toys (lead paint, mercury and other poisons) and a whole host of other deadly items they send to...
  20. Sign Painting Kit?

    Mineral oil is excellent for many things and can be ingested as well. Some folks use that as a fluid/lube to help relieve constipation. I'd use nothing else for seasoning and waterproofing wood cutting boards. I just bought a bottle at the local drug store 2 months ago and was floored by the...
