Vector Magic is the best autotrace on the market, by far. It'll take a photograph and make it vector. Still shocked that it is as powerful as it is.

We're only 30 miles up the road, so we made our trip down for the show. My third show, and my first in about 4 years, so saw some new products and techniques that were interesting. What was the one thing that made you say "wow" the most? I have 2 - Miratec Systems color management -...

I agree, it does kind of read "TBM". I'd considering dropping the terminal on the J down so it's not too close to the crossbar. Middle of the "A" needs a crossbar of a sort. Maybe angling upwards from left for more dynamic/custom look? Agree with Rick. My initials are JST - When I initial, I...

Us real sign people usually make our own stripe kits using our years of experience and expertise as SIGN PROFESSIONALS.

I'd get a pan. A 12' x 8' will kill someone if it blows out. Pan'll look better (no buckling), be safer, and easier to install.

Yea, its up to you to tell the customer that MDO is outdated. They've probably been in business for 20 years and they probably still think that MDO is the way to go, because no one has taught them otherwise. Youve been doing it a long time, and "youre the expert" - most customers can be lead...

I've been in signs for 10 years and I've done one (1) panel like this... Just outta curiosity what the heck are you doing that you do one a week?

My plan is to wake up, drive 30 miles, and walk in.

0.040" bolted tight on a metal building will buckle in different directions - light will hit it differently and make it look worse. ACM doesn't have that problem, and is the right material for the job. Now you just gotta sell it. Say stuff like "I don't know why they would recommend that...

I vote Viking Funeral. Maybe with tannerite. Do it right if your gonna do it, let him go out in style.

If enamel is on the plaque, I'd stick with enamel. Handpaint it in, or find someone who can.

Try Liquid Lam?

I'd ask the customer what they prefer, and if it is intended. As long as there are no cups involved I think you'll be OK.

Wrap your own vehicle. If it looks bad, wrap it again. Repeat until it looks good. You gotta be one with the vinyl. Feel its energy. Stretch it... tenderly. And make sure its hot. LOL

yep, shorten if it squishes letters. Vertically oriented windows, for example.

Ask your competitor. Problem solved. Unless, for some reason, they don't like you.

I had a guy recently insist on NET30 for a 45 dollar cut vinyl job. He walked when I said we'd take payment on the date of install instead of advance. Despite the fact that we did all the other tenants on his directory board. Using a non-standard font. On specialty vinyl.

Maybe instead of relying on people that don't want to help you now that you've made an a$$ outta yourself on your vewy first post (its ok, we forgive you... New Jersey), you can change your "desired result" to something that makes use of products that actually exist.
