  1. greys cannot solve problem

    Are you loading RGB files and letting your rip software convert them to CMYK?
  2. SG-300 double cutting everything.

    Did you click on the link he has in his reply? There's a step-by step explanation on where to find that option. The link seems to apply to files loaded in VW Dual and that have transparencies.
  3. Neo Chrome vinyl

    Not sure about a supplier but I think the common term is "Holographic" so maybe if you Google Holographic vinyl you might find something.
  4. Buyer Beware! Avery Supreme Wrap Material.

    Hello, Just hoping to save some people headaches like mine in the future... I had a city bus to wrap in Orange vinyl and ordered Avery's Supreme wrapping film in that colour. I assumed (why do I do that?) the vinyl was Opaque considering what it's sold for, but I found out that it was not. It...
  5. Help Plz!

    Wondering if anyone can identify the script font and/or the sans serif at the bottom. Thanks!
  6. Renegade font. Help plz!

  7. Font help - Traced from routed acrylic letters

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys! So far the closest I've gotten is Beaufort or Toledo but not the exact match.... I think I'll have to try a different approach.
  8. Font help - Traced from routed acrylic letters

    Yes, I believe I said above that Optima is a sans-serif and so it wasn't in the ballpark. I realize the tracings aren't great. They are from the customer who did the best they could. It's all I have to go off of plus a blurry photo so that's why I'm here asking all you expert font finders :)
  9. Font help - Traced from routed acrylic letters

    Not Optima Bold. It's a sans-serif font. Thanks though.
  10. Font help - Traced from routed acrylic letters

    Anyone know?
  11. Caught ya.........................

    Googled "why Q looks like 2" and got this as the first result http://blurtblog.net/2013/06/07/why-does-upper-case-cursive-q-look-like-a-2/ The wording in this article is eerily similar to your original post Gino. The two paragraphs after "Drawing Out Their Points"... The article even...
  12. New Logo... Critique?

    Then aren't you reinforcing the mispronunciation of your name as Wreak-tor?
  13. New Logo... Critique?

    "Wreak" means "To cause", not "Smells Bad". Like Wreak havoc....also not good for business though.
  14. New Logo... Critique?

    I'm surprised that anyone is mistaking the pronunciation of the name...I do see it now that it's been explained a couple of times but I just can't see how anyone would assume it's meant to be anything but Reactor...if only because of how horrible it would be if it were pronounced as "Reek-tor"...
  15. Importance of kerning?

    This. Basically anything that distracts from the message is a bad thing and should be avoided. Though I've never been a professional hand-typesetter I'm pretty sure Kerning is a pre-digital term :) although originally it had a more specific definition related to cast-metal letters so that's...
  16. New Logo... Critique?

    This helps. It seems to me like a text based logo is your best option if you choose to design it yourself. Following a few guidelines will help you choose font pairings that might work better together. This article is a good one to read for that...
  17. Light-duty roll-up banner film.

    Need to find a supplier for pull-up (roll-up) banner material. Eco-Solvent printable, Blockout film that's around 10oz. We currently stock a 13oz product that's very durable, super inexpensive and print's beautifully but it's too heavy for some of the "Economy" grade banner mechanisms we've...
  18. New Logo... Critique?

    It would help to know your reasoning behind choosing those fonts, those colors,outlines,closely spaced letters etc... Without a clear concept a logo that is made of text only is just text; not a logo at all...
  19. Importance of kerning?

    Even though I was in typography class quite a few years ago(so some of this may not be 100% accurate) I think I remember that historically, good kerning was the mark of a quality typesetter. That back in the days where individual letters were hand-placed in order to print full books page-by-page...
  20. Who sells double sided laminate?

    We usually do it the way you stated - reverse print on clear vinyl and laminate with white vinyl then apply to the window. But you can also buy adhesive sheets/rolls and what you do is print on something white that has no adhesive then apply the sheet/roll adhesive to the printed side and apply...
