  1. What's my options... white on metallic gold?

    Definitely a screen print job. Or, maybe, one for a Summa.
  2. Question about sharpening Router bits

    I was a machinist for quite a number of years before entering the sign and graphics trade. Bits can be resharpened but best left to professionals who have the knowledge and the equipment. In your case it isn't a DIY proposition. Heck, even in the shops I worked in (and we did aerospace...
  3. Copyright Notice Examples

    If I am so wrong please show me the authority a state court, at any level, has to hear a federal intellectual property case. Should I hold my breath? The way I read H.R. Rep. No. 1476, 94th Cong., 2d Sess., at 131 (1976) is that is says the following: On and after January 1, 1978, all...
  4. Election Signs

    Politicians don't want to spend a dime more than they have to. Can't say I blame them because for most raising money is a bitch. That stuff would be a special order for us as our suppliers buy precut 18" x 24" by the skid and I buy it by the skid from them. I'd kill for some great...
  5. FONT IDiot

    Does look like a hand layout for paint.
  6. cut vinyl on wall need help!

    The other day the wife asked me about wall graphics. I did a few searches. Interesting that one site that sells to the end consumer stated that their product would work on flat, matte and semi-gloss but to never use it on gloss nor on any surface painted with Behr paint.
  7. Gemini Letters Re-Paint question....

    Gemini folks are usually great to deal with. Contact them and I am sure they will tell you the very best way to deal with the issue so you get it right the first try.
  8. Copyright Notice Examples

    Wes has it correct. The whole idea in my post was to AVOID conflict whenever and where ever possible. That is just good business sense. As to registration. In the past one had to register the work(s) with the Copyright Office prior to initiating a suit. It is a very recent change in the...
  9. Jersey Devil Clip Art

    That's not what the Jersey Devil looks like ...at least not how it was portrayed in an X-Files episode.

    Close as you are going to get from stock: http://www.signmaster.com/products.cfm# Also check out: http://supersigns.biz/coroplast/ they will custom cut.
  11. Copyright Notice Examples

    While it is true that from the moment you place an idea or concept into a tangible format or medium you have copyright protection in most of the world. It is always best to add the copyright symbol somewhere in the immediate viewing area plus he contact info. Not everyone is schooled in IP law...
  12. any ideas removing old stripes?

    Recently I saw a YouTube vid by Vinyl Off. Anyone ever use it? Work as advertised? Worth the price?
  13. any way to view eps files

    We only have AI CS4 to open and preview client files and save them out to use in CD (no one here is versed enough in AI to actually use it). Is there an Illustrator script (free) that will open AI files and resave them with a preview header or maybe convert them to EPS and save? If so, wher...
  14. Screen printing signs... cobwebs?

    We never get that until winter. Then it is a horror. You need humidity to reduce static or some static string. We are going to be looking at an air ionizer anti-static rig sometime soon as they are made one county down from us. All our print tables are metal covered and grounded. We...
  15. T shirts, etc.

    If I were to ever buy anoher heat press it would be with a swing-away head. I've had it with clam shells. They are ok for transfers and drying prints but if you are customizing via individual names using individual letters you don't want that heat in your face while working. Expensive but...
  16. Cutting mats - To Grid or Not to Grid?

    I still have an old electric one in storage around here somewhere. I really preferred rubber cement...maybe it was the smell(?).
  17. Another copyright question....

    I have been on both sides of the copyright issue. Won where I was the plaintiff and won where I was a defendant (named in a suit with multiple others). I have to say that common sense as well as your gut instinct goes a long way. Hold-harmless agreements may not cover your costs if your...
  18. Where to find yellow printable paper?

    Check your Yellow Pages for printer supply dealers (litho trade). They probably can help you or steer you. They can supply sheet stock for sure.
  19. RapidTac and Wet Mounting?

    Anyone who makes their own solution really should start with distilled water. It's dirt-cheap and can be found in any supermarket. Tap water has lots of minerals in it and that composition of minerals changes from area to area. Plus the local supplier puts all kinds of chemicals in it to...
  20. Car Toppers

    If you want to reinvent the wheel then try coro. Steal ideas from places like http://www.airflowsigns.com/page9.html Don't want to invest in hardware? Try attaching the mags to the coro with VHB tape as they will only be used for temp applications and it will last. That stuff is...
