  1. How long to remove full wrap?

    I would quote a price for removal in 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, etc... and increase the amount for removal for additional time the wrap is on van. I had customers tell me they were only going to change a wrap in 12 months and 3 years later, it's still on there. If that happens, you...
  2. Envato - Print Designer Bundle Sale

    I am in no way affiliated with Envato but I saw this offer last night and it looked like something that might benefit many of you. This is Print Designer Bundle of digital stock including: print design vectors, flyers, textures, backgrounds, and photographs and is on sale for $20. The sale...
  3. way to high?

    I understand wanting to use what you have on hand but in fairness to the customer and to figure a "market value", you should price it according to the correct media for the job. If you use Oracal 3165/210 laminate your final printed cost is going to be about half of 3951/290. A $100 window...
  4. Parking Signs

    Actually Vandy went to Columbia last weekend and beat Mizzou 19-15.
  5. Lettering for trucks and cars

    This reminds me of a few of years ago when a poster named "Mosh" came to Signs 101 and had everyone all fired up. Well, a few years and nearly 4,000 posts later, we realized it wasn't a troll or a joke. Allen
  6. Lettering for trucks and cars

    I live in the south and am not even close to uppity. Your grammatical and spelling errors make your posts difficult to comprehend and make others question your credibility. What is embotery? I'm completely serious. Allen
  7. Customer turned "competitor"

    Kerning 101 - Always remember, ampersands on the top row get two "space bar taps" on each side. Ampersands on the bottom row only get one "space bar tap" on each side. Oh, and the dots aren't text so just take a wild guess. Allen
  8. Printing White in a color logo on a dark shirt??

    Siser ColorPrint II. From other apparel forums, I've heard many people use this successfully with a Gerber Edge. I've used it with a GS6000 and it works. Best I recall, the Siser material is white so you shouldn't need white ink (sorry, it's been a while since I've used it). Unless your...
  9. Thinking of taking the plunge and getting away from Corel

    I have an older version of Illustrator and Photoshop (CS3) and I often get EPS or AI files from other designers that were created in a newer version and I can't open them, or they will open but are not functional. PSD files in Photoshop is not problem but having an older version of Illy is not...

  11. sprinter wrap removal?

    I removed a wrap on a high top Nissan NV (about the same size as a Sprinter) but the wrap was only on for about 2 weeks (promo for hockey playoffs). It probably took two guys an hour and a half to remove the wrap but took those same two guys about 2-3 hours just to remove the Primer 94 and...
  12. Carved sign with light fixture.

    If they paid you a dollar for the percentage of how much better the signs looks, it would have cost them millions.
  13. RIP for GS6000

    When I used the GS6000 and the FC8000, I used ColorBurst RIP to print files on my GS6000 and Illustrator, with Cutting Master, to cut vinyl whether standard or printed. So, if I had a print/cut file I designed in Illustrator, I would: 1. Design the file with a print layer, cut layer, and...
  14. RIP for GS6000

    Do you happen to use Illustrator or CorelDraw? If so, have you ever tried Graphtec Cutting Master? I used a GS6000 w/ Colorburst and used a Graphtec FC8000 with the Cutting Master plug-in for Illustrator and it worked perfectly. I had no problems cutting standard vinyl or doing print/cut jobs...
  15. Print to Trade - Budget Wrap Material

    I'm looking for a "Print to Trade" wholesaler that can print on General Formulation. I send print-ready files, they send me back a product that is printed, laminate, trimmed and ready to install. If CS Sign Supply offers this, send me a PM. Thanks.
  16. Print to Trade - Budget Wrap Material

    The products I mentioned are recommended and warrantied for vehicle/fleet graphics with all but the standard Simple Curve even recommended for rivets, which is why I specifically asked about those products. I've used the GF on a 53' semi trailer with over 25,000 rivets and it worked great for...
  17. Print to Trade - Budget Wrap Material

    I know many of our merchant members offer "print to trade" 3M IJ180 and other cast vinyl but I'm specifically looking for a someone who offers the following (or other budget wrap material): General Formulations AutoMark 230/231 Advantage Optima Simple Curve Advantage Optima Simple Curve...

    I have Illustrator CS3 on the current computer I'm working on and have a newer EPS file that I need saved down to CS3. If you can help me please give me your email and I'll send it over. Thanks, Allen
  20. Relieved of my Duties

    Not yet. Had a couple of interviews that I initiated. They are interested but don't currently have openings. Right now I'm exploring all options and will do what I need to take care of my kiddos. Thanks for asking. Allen
