We notice that when we laminate perf and try to do a wet application, the liquid captured in the "holes" turns the laminate cloudy and inhibits the view of those driving or inside a store.

It's a rare non-vehicular application where pressure washers are bring used on panel signs and such. We always recommend that folks clean their signs to remove road film, grime and other pollutants that can affect the finish, but it's not done by most. I think we're in agreement but don't want...

We started off using 3651ra and Oraguard 210 five years ago, switched to 3m ij35c two years ago but didn't see enough advantages for the extra money and now are back to 3641ra and 210 lam. The 3651ra mounts better than ij35c and the lustre and matte lam is much more consistent and even toned...

What about creating a second perf cut line to where you want the liner cutout and run them through right side up?

You have got to be kidding. How could anyone with an IQ above 75 extrapolate my guessing what the cost of a new Peterbilt costs and expressing astonishment over the low grade crap the OP intended to use on a fleet of them as me judging a customer by what they drive up in? Sheesh! You can't be...

I'm not the one basing my pricing on what someone drives up in. Throw that sh!t at whoever is.

Then add those costs in and post them. You always do that. You give us part of the pricing picture and then when someone questions it, you cover yourself and say, "I didn't include, design, consulting time, etc..." Just calling something a "commodity good" doesn't negate the fact that it is...

EVERY single thing we do for a client has some advertising value. We all produce advertising, marketing and promotional products and don't operate in a separate universe from other similar producers of the same kind of ADVERTISING. Anybody can print business cards. Are they not advertising...

Knowing that only rookies and fly by nighters wouldn't laminate printed decals, folks in your area is charging less than $6.50 per square foot for a full color, digitally printed CAST wrap decal ( possibly diecut ) with laminate? FFS, no wonder this industry is being eaten from within. IT'S...

Go figure. I'm left handed and have almost always weeded right to left because I like being able to pull the centers out with my left hand and dental pick while pulling off the excess with my right. I have thought at times that the weeding the opposite direction from the starting point of the...

Hey, I'd weed with my feet if I knew it went faster and resulted in fewer errors or lost letters. Just finished weeding two identical sets of 3/4" Helvetica Medium. Did one left to right, opposite for the other. Zero difference.

I agree. Just going into one's profile in Indeed and updating ANY information will refresh a person's resume and push it up on the search list. Doing that doesn't necessarily mean a candidate is newly interested in a particular position, or is qualified to fill a particular need.

In more than one case, the paid trial work day has revealed major problems in both honesty, inability to take direction or input and lack of proficiency in the necessary software. It is a critical and widely used prehire tool. Let's see.... We've seen a portfolio that included about 20 logo...

Unless it's absolutely necessary, try not to fatten up letters from their original weight. It gives everything a puffy, overly rounded effect, especially on something like Goudy. Just choose a bolder font. If they are looking to force a square peg down your round design hole, they have...

No not really. Nearly every applicant we've ever even considered from our nearby full size university has come with preconceived notions (somebody had to plant these in their heads) that the sign and graphics industry is a major step down for them and that the STARTING wage they should be...

Both are quite good. Good legibility, originality, balance, margin control, prioritization of messages. Tired old cliches of barbershop poles, scissors, combs, etc. are worn out. Glad to see you push yourself to go beyond your first concept.

So, you unroll material that is manufactured in a mostly sterile environment and rolled tightly by a machine in the factory and shipped in both a plastic bag and a box in order to wipe it down with something in your shop that could absorb some kind of contaminate? Do you roll it out on a table...

Why would you wipe down your media and what are you wiping it with?

Will the seams be concealed somehow?

I think your choice of words and possibly definition of what a "business" is needs some clarification on your part. There are few sign BUSINESS owners who don't think of or don't define their operation as a "business". Just because we call our entity a "shop" or "studio" or whatever doesn't make...
