  1. A lesson in sales / service

    I am on that page. Never steal work. I have a symbiotic relationship with several other sign companies. We always throw work to each other and work co-operatively where we overlap. Our worst arguments is who owes who a beer when it comes to how much/many referrals we made amongst us all.
  2. Legal advice, somebody ripped off my design.

    Are any of you (aside from a few) serious??? Do any of you have a clue (not a put down) of the process or procedure involved? This is NOT a small claims or local court action. This is the exclusive territory of the United States Federal Court system. There is a basic procedure to the...
  3. Broken usb dongle for flexi, how much to get a new one

    F.W.I.W. you can legally make a copy of your dongle to have as a backup as long as it is "noninfringing use" per 37 CFR Part 201 Exemption to Prohibition on Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems for Access Control Technologies; Final Rule. The amendment to the DMA probably includes...
  4. Do pre-cut magnet shapes exist?

    I have bought blanks from Gill Studios a few times. Those more familiar with Stouse than I am can advise whether they sell that way or not. Also, the folks who sell to the cottage subliminate industry have them available as I have seen them displayed at the combined screen print/awards...
  5. Do pre-cut magnet shapes exist?

    Yes, they do exist and you can buy them blank. That might be acceptable for a screen print decorator where they can build a jig to properly hold them and keep them properly registered. I doubt it would be suitable for a wide format printer. I have a feeling you might be seeking mag...

    Ellipse - "A closed plane curve resulting from the intersection of a circular cone and a plane cutting completely through it." Oval - "A closed plane curve resulting from the intersection of a circular cone and a plane cutting completely through it."
  7. License to make and sell vehicle manufacturer's decals

    Google can be your friend. I googled Ford Motor Company licensing division and immediately came up with: http://www.fordbrandlicensing.com/NewBrandUseStep1.asp An interesting read: http://www.ricehatersclub.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=25901
  8. Cannot load Corel X5 from disk

    Before you contact Corel you will have to determine whether it is their product or your computer causing the error. Thus, insert that disc in at least one other drive / computer and see if it is readable. If the error is on your end, a computer repair shop, should you take it to one, will do...
  9. Cannot load Corel X5 from disk

    Every once in a while a CD/DVD drive will not read a disc. be it one you just burned or one from off-the-shelf. First, if possible, place it in another computer. If you don't have a second one on premises, beg a neighbor to test it for you. If that computer can see it and the directory...
  10. Mystery Print Process?

    You can get that effect (sand) via screen process printing. It requires a real open and thick mesh. Something like 25 which only comes (or did) in thick nylon and is a BITCH to stretch and attach to a frame. All I used that mesh count for was a heavy lay down of gold flecked ink but it is...
  11. Printed vinyl on printed window perf problem

    BlueFish, you are in a heap of trouble, boy!!!! LOL. Hope you are old enough to reconize where that came from. Alabama Law on the subject: Section 32-5-215 Windshields must be unobstructed; windshield wipers; tinting. (a) No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sign, poster or...
  12. Need LED message sign software

    Thanks...have been out to the site several times or started to and BAM!!! lightening in the area. Not going up on the roof with a metal ladder. Since I am done for the day I was loading up my ladders once again and the sky just blackened. My lawn needs the rain but I don't...oh well. I...
  13. Printer for tarpaulin

    Since you are looking for a printer then once you have narrowed down what you can afford you will have to provide a sample of the material to your local dealers (or the mfg.) along with a test print file. One you get it back then you have to determine how good the print is as well as the...
  14. Looking for an Umbrella wholesaler!

    An ASI or PPAI member has access to many of the umbrella companies that custom print. Do we have any?
  15. Printer for tarpaulin

    I am bumping this a bit. Perhaps posting the size as well as the actual material that needs to be printed will help. Are you looking for a merchant member to print for you or the actual type/brand of printer that would be needed to accomplish printing on that material? Screen printing...
  16. COPYRIGHT Logo prints...How is THIS possible?

    According to sign and print industry trade mags there are several companies that actually pay folks to have their car wrapped (the wrap is free) with a corporate logo or product promotion. There are some caveats like the car has to be in traffic for X-hours a week, safe and courteous driving...
  17. Little League, Logos and Life Imprisonment

    The trademark goes with the genre' in the instant case, the sport of baseball. So, if the first team to register with the trademark office was say, "the Bullfrogs", then no other baseball team from sandlot to the majors could use it. Now that will not stop a chemical company from calling...
  18. Help Bag Signs

    My "panties" weren't in a bunch. I have done quite a few bag signs over the years made from everything from oilcloth to 16oz. material. We used to hand paint them and then along came computers and vinyl plotters and painting (aside from a stroke here and there) faded away. I had no idea...
  19. Copywrite Infringement ?

    That's commendable but unecessary. The copyright (if any) has expired and you don't need anyone's permission. In 1878 the copyright term was 28 years with 14-year renewal. So, assuming all that was done the copyright ran out in 1920. Are you kidding us? The first copyright law was...
  20. Help Bag Signs

    Hey, a "bag" sign is what you cover an existing backlit marquee with until the new panels are done and installed and the bag generally has applied vinyl graphics. I am glad some folks here are mind readers...I am not one. Poly bags below a 2500 pieces aren't really worth ordering. Best...
