In the process of studying Jersey Style truck lettering, I stumbled across this job by Cranberry Signcraft. If you haven't seen their website, it is definitely worth checking out- they do some amazing work. But this particular job reminded me of a truck I saw at the fire show a couple months...

I am looking for some more info on Jersey Style truck lettering. Tutorials, articles, books, examples... anything like that. I really like this style mostly because you don't see much of it in my area (North Carolina). I have done some internet research and couldn't find much other than a few...

I am looking at buying a 42" L25500. From what I have seen, there aren't many options for material in this size. For those that have this printer or a similar size, are you buying 48" material and cutting it down?

I have a job coming up that is going to require 5.5" tall by 10 feet long Sign Gold lettering on a fire truck. I have done fairly long runs on the Edge before, but I have always been able to break them up to minimize the risks of something going wrong. Ideally, this needs to be ran straight...

I decided to order some of the Avery double gold to try out on some reverse window lettering, but after talking with someone at Express Sign Supply I decided to try the Oracal 352 instead since I use Oracal for most everything else and it has been good stuff so far. The roll was delivered...

I am looking into getting some of the Double Gold to try out for reverse glass work. If I lay it on the glass and then either use brushed on back up black or black cast vinyl as the back up, how will it hold up? I know the outdoor rating is either one or two years, but reverse glass work isn't...

Recently my business has shifted towards doing a large number of fire department related graphics on my Edge LE, and I am needing a laminator to laminate these prints. I don't want to break the bank, all I need it to do is laminate Edge prints. Any suggestions?

I decided to try reverse glass gilding. I got a nice picture frame from Hobby Lobby to use for my first attempt. I cleaned the glass with paint prep and then Gilder's Soap from Letterhead Sign Supply. The outlines were painted using a paint mask and One Shot. I let the outlines fully dry for a...

http://www.learn2paintsigns.com/ I found this website, it seems like they have a pretty neat program for sale on cd. Has anyone ordered from them? I've been working on my hand lettering skills and this looked like a good way to get some pointers.

After several months of trouble free operation, the Edge is broke down again. I ran several jobs through it a few days ago, then turned it off. An hour or so later I realized I had one more job to do, so I turned it back on and sent the job to the printer- nothing. When I click print in Flexi I...

I have no matches on this. Help please!

I may not be at the best job in the world making signs today, but I get to spend Thanksgiving with my second family at the other best job in the world! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Does anyone have a good source for thermal printable 15" punched small engine turned gold? I'm looking for RTape VinylEFX or something similar in the 5 year outdoor rating category, not SignGold. Thanks!

I'm looking for some recommendations on where to go to get some business cards made, preferably a fellow member on here if anybody can do what I'm looking for. I may be asking for too much, but I feel like a business card is a direct representation of your business. The card should be dark red...

I would like to hear some opinions on the best way to protect SignGold on a fire truck. I print the outlines and shadows directly on the SignGold with my Edge, then I usually put clear high performance cast vinyl over top with an overlap. I've heard some people say they run regular laminate...

One of my good fire department customers asked me to come look at lettering a new side by side utility vehicle they bought. No big deal, they want the department name on the bed sides and the hood, done in either Sign Gold or possibly real gold. So I look at their other trucks to see if the same...

When I try to print with the Zeronine spot gold foil, it skips and leaves lines unprinted. It sounds like it is jumping inside the printer. It is a refill ribbon that is in a Gerber carriage. Any ideas?

I have been using some form of this logo since I started: It is clean and simple, which I like. I like the slanted script for some reason also. But I feel like it could be a lot better. I threw this together in Illustrator one night: The majority of my work is fire department related (gold...

I have found a SolJet ProV 545EX for sale locally. It is a 2009 model in good condition currently still in operation. It also has an add-on drier. The guy selling the printer seems to be very knowledgeable and it looks like he has taken care of it. In addition to the 545 an FJ600 is included in...

I have tried to steer clear of Photoshop and Illustrator because I thought they were mysterious, complex programs that might launch a missile in Russia if you clicked on the wrong button. But I have read up on it and seen that they are great programs for doing nice artwork, so I figured I would...
