The best way to do this is what weyandsign said. You cannot crop if you rotate. Some clipart I have used the transparency tool to remove the background and touch up with the eraser or I upload it to Adobe and remove the background.

I actually have XRay vision and was able to see through the red scribbles.

I just finished up a magazine ad for an Amish guy. He couldn't understand why "my machine" couldn't make his horse turn to look at us.

If I have bad designs where "the customer is always right" I either don't post them or I post them during a time where I know nobody is on social media...like a Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. I use the best possible angle or a strange angle. Sometimes I private message the bad ones to...

Unclebun beat me to it. Timothy Matlock Font. LOL

I'm usually a rule follower but...if you charge $65 who is going to know the law states $50? If they bounce a check and then call you out on your $65, then play dumb and go with the $50.

I've ordered lots a these from Signs365 and never added application tape as long as they are one big piece. I tell them to use a heat gun or blow dryer after and use their fingers to get the vinyl to conform to the wall texture. So far, I've had very good luck.

If the print is a solid rectangle then no need for any app tape. The vinyl + laminate is thick enough, just instruct them to use a felt squeegee or wrap one in an old tshirt or felt scrap. If it's contour cut then just add 4 strips of what you have at your shop.

I've made a hand full of signs for apartment buildings in the area that state they renter will get a fine if the landlord gets one...something to that effect. I know two people who got $30-ish fines. Garbage day is Monday so I'm guessing the garbage men are crabby from the Packers always losing...

Find a more narrow font but if you put some white space around the words it's easier to read. 2 minutes here so no being mean...

There is some truth to this. My brother in law worked for a dump company and he said most of the time all the recycle bins we had in the city on garbage day went in the dump in the same place as the garbage, it didn't get separated. He never separated his garbage from recycles as it was a waste...

The outlet covers aren't straight?

My BF has been a welder his entire career and does some welding on the side but he never charges anyone for labor. So many people told him over the years he should do it full-time. I got him all set up, got him business cards and shirts and books set up. He just won't do it...he gets scared...

I started doing this because my husband at the time had a race car and it was too expensive and hard to find people to letter them. I bought a cutter and LXI. I learned from the internet and from all of you! My parents and sister have always been in business so it made sense for me to do so also.

I would estimate most new businesses start because they worked for someone else doing the same thing or something similar. It's part of the chance you take hiring people but if I found out through the grapevine, I would be MAD. If they were honest, I would have to do some thinking on how to...

So it's the year 2022...16 later and I am having the same problem, was this fixed? When I raster my rotated png, the background turns white, despite selecting "transparent". My work around is to create a jpeg of the entire project then crop the whole thing. It's a pain when you have 10+ of...

That's awesome! LMAO!!!!

"Practice what you preach" - that's the best thing anyone said on here yet. I would never take advice from anyone who is not more successful than I am (which doesn't take much LOL). Gnubler, the best thing you can do is befriend someone in your town that is a successful business person and...

I agree a business is a business. I have a few business friends who I chat with often. The best part is talking about customers that peeve us off. In a small town many are the same! LOL Last week I had a guy ask me how I keep my books and do my invoicing so we sat behind my computer for a while...

The S is not straight. Jumped out at me.
