  1. Too high for me!

    Have a friend who does this for a living. Major big buck- a- roos. No thanks. He says the towers actually move back and forth, like a skyscraper, constantly. He would like to para-glide down but its not allowed. Nauseous just watching.

    +1 I'm with Pat here, printing would be the way to go, if possible.
  6. Putting the stripes on a Cobra tonight. Any tips?

    Why didn't the owner have them painted and then cleared when he had the car done? It would had saved a banana. Enjoy

    CC, What type of vinyl are you using on the helmet? I'm still practicing on helmets and ....do not enjoy. Can have a ton of work once I get it down. Mike
  9. About cleaning and applying vinyl: I need help to find the right tools.

    A body clay bar takes 5 mins. Less if its on a door or hood before lettering. Time well spent. Next time you wash your car. Feel it with your hand... clay bar a section , dry, and re-feel. Wipe a towel across and feel. Those who have not tried it will be impressed. It removes impurities that...
  10. SP-300V Ink Usage

    Check your profiles in VW, I think color may be set up as Max? Try a US Pre Press or Sign and Display. Definitely something not right, With heaters going you should be sticky but not real wet. I think my cost for a full colored sq ft. is around 18 cents. Good Luck
  11. 10:45pm are you still working ?

    Maybe you should ask this question in a few more hrs. I will be here. Seems like I can be more productive quoting, designing ,and billing , etc. with no interruptions and phone calls then banging around the shop 10-12 hrs, thinking nothing is getting done.
  12. About cleaning and applying vinyl: I need help to find the right tools.

    If its a vehicle , I will use prep sol, then wash area, during the wash process I will clay the surface to make it baby butt smooth. dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Then alcohol or Rapid Tac. Any substrates which are clean , an automotive tack cloth does wonders picking up any dust. Used in...
  13. Sign Shop break-in

    Thanks for the additional comments. Update on the break in: The thieves broke in through a small window. In the process they cut themselves badly leaving bloody prints everywhere. If they are in the system, they will be caught or just a matter of time.The Shop is a mobile unit and do not wish to...
  14. Any help on print/laminate/cut

    I've never had a problem in 4 years centering print before lam/cutting. if its a small print I can many times manually use a (scrap) piece of lam and not be so worried about being anyway near the edges of vinyl saving a step of trimming excess. The big question everyone seems to disagree on is...
  15. Sign Shop break-in

    Thanks for the input. Lots of great ideas. Got verrsacamm running on a dell laptop today and designing on another pc. Looking at an ASUS at the moment, @ $1200. All the bells and whistles, designed for gamers but will be plenty fast to run everything I need. Mike It's ok JB, after 5 years ...
  16. Sign Shop break-in

    What a day. Arrive at mobile sign shop and find graphics PC and monitor stolen. Need to replace. My 5 yr old sp300v versacamm was running xp. All new computers and laptops now with win 7. With new firmware and roland updates what issues are you having with versaworks and windows 7. I also use...
  17. Something that's been on my mind (design related)

    I will put my design next to the one I think they wanted or the one they showed me. Seldom do they pick theirs. Colors, readability, size, and general design layout will always win out. Be patient, listen, and learn to read the customers need. Just keep it simple for those who want simple. If...
  18. Big Squeegee Information

    Love All mine. Even got a real long one and seldom used, I just cut it up into various different lengths. They are used every day. I was skeptical at first....but won't leave the shop without it.
  19. Please keep my family in your prayers.

    So sorry for your loss. I'd do a ride to Sturgis anyway, in his name. He will be watching and smiling from above. I find the bike ride a great way to think things out and reminisce.
  20. Frustrating Customer - LONG!

    I've had customers with color issues make me wanna' scream, too....but I'd call that email response pretty "over the top"...unprofessional...and just way too dang long. I always get a bad gut feeling on a rush job .... Quality of Work........ Price of Work....... Speed of Work... To achieve...
