  1. My VS-540 is suddenly very LOUD! Suggestions...?

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I guess I'll have to keep an eye on the motor. It's been fine for a couple days but that just means I'll see if I can convince the "money" to agree to get a tech in and maybe get the motor switched out before it dies. It takes a few days for the techs to be...
  2. Dunno if this is the right Forum...but here's my new website...

    I hate the template but the interface is not bad. The color scheme is kind of dark and sinister. Gothic or medieval looking.
  3. A couple of preliminary concepts to ponder

    I agree...unless there's a concept behind joining the letters don't do it. I'm also curious about the reasoning behind the symbols you chose? I get the cmyk reference but it's very played-out and means nothing to 100% of customers. And the cross-hairs mean what to you? You definitely are headed...
  4. Yellow blocks in print

    We've had to get our printer fixed twice for this same problem. Both times it was the ribbon or cable (I can't remember what the part is called). It's accessed from the back of the machine on the same side as the control panel. Here's a pic. According to the tech it's because the white ribbons...
  5. Something different for us.

    We do a lot of back lit sign boxes, installs, acp panel, coroplast jobs etc... the "standard" type of signs. It's nice to do something a little different sometimes. For this job the request was for an indoor suspended sign to go above a bar at our local arena that is sponsored by Double Cross...
  6. My customers can not wrap their heads around the idea of keeping things proportionate

    That's why we always get approval of the layout. If they don't understand the concept of scaling proportionally they will get it once they see the proof. And if they still want to move forward with it all stretched and skewed then who am I to refuse their money.
  7. New wrap for shop truck

    He really should have posted in the new Snark-Free forum area.
  8. New wrap for shop truck

    I don't know how to break it to YOU but 1985?? The game has changed my man. Maybe the problem is you didn't change with it. If you knew what to expect then why even bother posting? You may not like what people are saying or THE WAY they are saying it but that's life. And they are just being...
  9. Removing large vinyl from light up sign

    Lexan is a lot like acrylic or plexi....except it's stronger. We often use it for extremely large sign faces (so that it doesn't crack or break under it's own weight during fabrication and installation) or in cases where impact resistance is needed. (Like at the local arena or "bad" areas of...
  10. Shop Van Wrap Critiques

    I think it's a good thing to have emphasis on the word "signs". It's not like he sells sterling silver cutlery or something. His company name is "Sterling Signs" all together... Not "Sterling" ...by the way we sell signs.
  11. Hello im new here and have a problem

    I think it's probably impossible for anyone to diagnose all the problems without actually going and inspecting the machine. Your issue is pretty vague...You may be better off calling in a technician. Otherwise you might try a hundred different things and still not find the issue. Did it give...
  12. Shop Van Wrap Critiques

    Yep. That's the stuff.
  13. Shop Van Wrap Critiques

    Joking? It's literally as big as it could possible be without getting cut off by the wheel wells.
  14. Attempting My First Color Change Wrap Today...

    Looks good from far....wrap quality is impossible to judge without close-ups. No one ever provides close-ups.
  15. Shop Van Wrap Critiques

    Looks great! Not much to improve imo. Maybe some small tweaks but overall it's attractive, simple and eye-catching. Nice color scheme. One thing though - not really an issue but more of a bug...is there a reason the logo is on an angle? It's so clean and serious it seems like it would suit it...
  16. My VS-540 is suddenly very LOUD! Suggestions...?

    Bump. Really hoping someone has some more insight for me. Thanks,
  17. Reg marks inside of graphic

    You could use illustrator (or Corel) and place a box with no fill or stroke inside the graphics and then set it to have crop marks. Then save as .eps or .cdr or save as a pdf.
  18. website review?

    Absolutely! Having areas on your site where the content is constantly being updated is a huge factor in SEO. Stale sites eventually lose search engine ranking because search engines want NEW, CURRENT and RELEVANT content for their users. It's also a huge factor in repeat visitors. If your site...
  19. website review?

    I like it. It serves you well. It has a good focus and the information is well organized.
  20. My VS-540 is suddenly very LOUD! Suggestions...?

    It seems to only do this for the first few feet of the first print of the day. Almost like it loosens up after and is back to normal. The machine is around 3 years old. We do run it roughly 40hrs a week(counting times when it's not running vs overnight runs it probably evens out) obviously that...
