  1. Prep this for vinyl or cut new?

    That could be...I was a little surprised to see it was painted and not vinyl but it's definately not brushed. Here are a few close ups just for the heck of it...you can see on the first one that it's sprayed since the burgandy is a little bit on the teal.
  2. Prep this for vinyl or cut new?

    Well, I think it's glavanized and I'm pretty sure they used stencils, there's quite a bit of bleeding. Maybe even spray paint becuase one spot is multi colored...not a very good job when looking at it close up.
  3. Banner for "Blind Volleyball" need advice on construction

    I feel like this is going to be really heavy for the net.
  4. Prep this for vinyl or cut new?

    I did not make this sign but I know it's only been up for less than a year...out of business, new business in now and I had planned to remove this vinyl and apply new - it's not vinyl, it's paint. They must've used a stencil becuase I can feel a slight edge around all the letters. The back is...
  5. Banner for "Blind Volleyball" need advice on construction

    I think it's a bunch of drunk 20+ kids playing volleyball but you can't see the other team...sounds stupid to me! Thanks for all the ideas, I think I know what I'm going to do now!
  6. Unrealistic requests/deadlines

    Well I'm glad to hear nobody is telling me I'm being lazy! LOL!!!
  7. Banner for "Blind Volleyball" need advice on construction

    So, I need to make a sponsor banner to cover the volleyball court net. Size would be 96" tall x 38' wide, 2 sided. I'm attaching a photo of what I'm thinking. The sponsors might change yearly so we were going to print on the first year then put decals over them following years if sponsors...
  8. Unrealistic requests/deadlines

    It happened to me Wednesday. A newer customer called Tuesday and I answered the phone from Mexico. I said I would call him back when I got in Wednesday about his semi. He called me at 8:30am Wednesday needing me to look at his semi immediately. I did. He expected that I not just put the logo on...
  9. Top 5 Signage Mistakes

    I forgot all about that program! That's what I leaned on back in the 1990s!
  10. Top 5 Signage Mistakes

    I used to love Papyrus back in the 1990's. I don't use not unless I have to reset something. Bad kerning is something that drives me nuts.
  11. I was hired to wrap a vehicle and now they are mad at me... my blood pressure is through the roof!

    This might be one of the most informative things ever posted, I had no idea!
  12. At one time..........................................................................................

    LMAO!!! I can just picture you now...running with the flare in one hand, the gun in the other..."You'll never take me alive Taxman!!!" We just got back from Mexico...my niece, son and I got some pina coladas at 8:30am on day one. My mother was not impressed. We did not care, we went back for...
  13. At one time..........................................................................................

    I always have some beer some in fridge at the shop. If I stay late at night doing design work something non-dangerous I'll crack a few open!
  14. Extend lease or buy new building?

    My personal opinion is rent expense vs. rent income ends up being a wash. The advantage comes in when you start physical deductions for the building and the maintenance. Obviously a personal kitchen remodel expense can't be used for the shop if there's not a full kitchen but there's lots of...
  15. I was hired to wrap a vehicle and now they are mad at me... my blood pressure is through the roof!

    That's why I hate customer supplied artwork. No matter how experienced the designer is they rarely seem to have it right. I usually do look the artwork over closely and would tell them but in this case, it's not just a 4'x4' area. I would also offer to print the bottle and put it over the...
  16. Extend lease or buy new building?

    I have to lean towards DSGI on this one as far as taxes goes. I also have an LLC for my property and rent it to myself. I also have a 2 family and a storage shed attached to my shop all three rented out. I have a separate house that I live in. I always show a loss for the property as a whole. If...
  17. Prints on clear acrylic

    Following. I've only used solid cut vinyl on acrylic so I'm interested to hear about printed vinyl.
  18. Niagara Falls

    Mike we decided to all order a different meal and then we tried everyone's food since it was hard to decide what to order LOL!!! The steak was DELICIOUS also! We ate Chicago style pizza at Uno's also which was also excellent. BBQ ribs in St. Louis were very good! I think one of the best things...
