  1. Vehicle Wrap Font

    Too funny.
  2. How do you work with the limited art board size?

    Yes as other have said, you can work at a scale. But this make me sooo nervous. I have worked with many guys over many years in the industry that really don't pay attention to details, nor do they communicate those details well. I've seen many occasions where someone is working in Illy, at 10%...
  3. XR-640 users

    LOL. I hear you. Here is a story from my 1% of error. I ran a this one job. On reflective... Only to come back in the AM to find the 2/3 of the roll on the floor in front of the printer in a nice warm sticky pile. :banghead::frustrated:
  4. XR-640 users

    That's interesting Pat, I have run both an XC-540, and our current work hoarse, an old SC-545 over night with NO issues. I trust tose two systems 99%. The other 1% only goes bad because of (THIS) user's error. I have been doing research on the XR just to see how the early adopters are...
  5. XR-640 users

    Sorry for resurrecting an old post but I wanted to see if you found a solution to the problem.
  6. What does everyone else think?

    Not sure where you were when this all went down, but this design WAS part of a contest. AND it was from a store level designer. I believe the guy is out in AUS. As far as the design, I like the wordmark. But the icon not so much. I see pizza. Looks like the logo from Z Pizza when they first...
  7. Perf vinyl on huge windows, overlap ?

    Primer 94 on Perf? Yeah. This is a new one for me too. Just doesn't make sense in my head but hey thats what i come here for, new tricks to get the job done right? But I thought there were some issues with using Primer 94 on non 3M Media's? Doesn't the stuff damage some vinyl?
  8. Buying a franchise

    And just to be clear, I'm not bashing the Franchises (well yes I am). Just make sure you are getting your royalties worth. I have met many Franchise owners that think this industry can be had with a "Turn Key" solution. And that is the farthest thing from the truth. Its not like a 7-11 or...
  9. Buying a franchise

    IMO, I'm not sure how a franchise would help you. One of the major factors is driving sales. You have that under you belt in a related industry. Franchise sales = Walk the neighborhood and pass out flyers. Then send out mailers randomly to the surrounding zip codes. Not mush else is offered...
  10. Waivers?

    I like to use the phrase "Turd Polishing". I'm certain many of you know or have used it before. We explain to the customer as OP did, but the additional labor typically makes it cost prohibitive to the customer. They then either A) go for new product. Or B) take the turd to another shop. To...
  11. Versaworks / PDF

    Another option... if you have happen to have Acrobat Pro, you can export a raster image right out of acrobat.
  12. Fur and velvet wraps?

    I guess this is becoming popular in the UK. I wonder what is going to happen when this hits the US market... Who will be the first Wrapper to Wrap something like this for a rapper... lol Or Pro Athlete. (Lame pun wholeheartedly intended)...
  13. #2

    In my previous life, the corporation I worked for had this thing with grommets. Every new franchisee that came through the training was taught to charge a fee for every grommet. Its was even built into their pos POS, lol. It was a concept held just as high as if not higher than collecting a...
  14. why cant I fix this

    Like other have said, make certain you are loading your media square to the rollers. The other issue may be that the pressure is uneven on your rollers. A "push pull scale" is an easy way to fix this. Royal Sovereign has one for about $30. It will work even if your don't have a RS machine.
  15. Signburst

    Do it! Well worth the investment. You will not be sorry.

  17. Joe Diaz Video - CorelDraw

    Awesome. Nice that Corel is highlighting it users. And beautiful showcase of the Diaz's work.
  18. Deposit, deposit....

    Here we are again. No deposit, no work. We have to stop letting "them" tell us how we are going to get paid. I hope this works out for you. I have been using the word "retainer" in place of deposit for the design and research part of jobs and seems to loosen up the wallets a bit.
  19. Custom Logo Animation - Know Anyone?

    Have you tried http://videohive.net ? great resource clips. They have many (MANY) seamless loops even HD. I go there when I'm in a pinch.
  20. Roland Printer will not read Reg marks on the lower half of print!

    I assume you have thought of this but it can't hurt to ask. Do you have enough media behind the last set of crop marks? Typically you need about 4-6 inches extra so that the rear sensors "sees" that there is still media in the machine. You could try this again but turn off "edge detection". Or...
