  1. Solvent Canvas Printing

    I have been running some textile test prints (mainly Aurora Textiles samples) on our Epson GS6000. I've had some good results with some cotton and poplin material but am wondering if any of you have a "go-to" canvas that you use with your solvent/eco-solvent printer. When searching the web the...
  2. Shop Truck concepts

    I'm confused. ParkedCar (Visual Effects) posted three concepts back in Nov. '09 and then came back yesterday with a new concept (Post #41 of this thread). Now there are people posting "I like #1, or I like #2" but no one is commenting on the new design. I guess Mosh bumped the post, people...
  3. I need some constructive criticism on my website

    I agree with previous comments about the look (i.e. distracting header/background and slideshow takes too long to load) but those don't annoy me the most. As a person who has worked a lot with audio (live sound & recording), your audio greeting is bad. It explains to me the site is under...
  4. Signs101 - Is it just me....

    I'm working on a design that I'll be glad to post for critique but in order to work on the design, I had to find out the main font, hence one of my post this afternoon. I've noticed a lot of Font ID post lately and hate to post one too but after about an hour or searching my font library and...
  5. Trying to decide on a printer size!

    That's a good point. For wrap graphics we print more 54" media than anything else but we have a 64" printer and laminator. I've also found that having the extended width is good if you are printing 28" posters (common POP display size) or if someone orders a few 2.5' x 8' banners, load up some...
  6. Font Help Please

    At first glance I thought I had a Lucida Grande Bold but no. After going through my font library I've had no luck. The lower case "e" and the tops of the "q" and "p" are throwing me off. Thanks. Allen
  7. gobblers knob

    In college I was in a cover band (played local dives, college parties, and private functions) and we thought it would be funny to name the band Punxsutawney Phil, so we did but changed the "Phil" to "Pheel" just in case someone tried to sue us. It was funny until we realized no one could say it...
  8. That Truck is How Big?

    A local or regional bread company in the area have their box truck sides wrapped. Most I've seen are the Isuzu mid-size box trucks but occasionally you see a larger truck. I would bet their wraps weren't printed and installed by the same company/person. Looks like the installer was handed the...

  11. Gimme that thang!!!!!! apple keynote in progress!!!

    You can type on the touch screen, which has a close-to full-size keyboard, that functions like the iPhone/iPod Touch keyboard. You have the option of using an external keyboard, which will more than likely be better suited for typing lengthy documents. Allen
  12. Trailer Wrap Idea

    Thanks for the input everyone. I only submitted "the first one" and the second above was PMG making a quick suggestion. I think I will emphasize the depth of the tear more but I want to stay away from making it look like a stock tear from Aurora Graphics. I also might mess around with...
  13. Gimme that thang!!!!!! apple keynote in progress!!!

    I like/use Apple products but don't think they should say the iPad is the "best way to experience the web....." if it doesn't support flash. Flash is a much too integral part of the web to be excluded from products like iPad. Allen
  14. Gimme that thang!!!!!! apple keynote in progress!!!

    Mosh, it might not replace anything for you. But to answer your question, one big difference is that you can run iWork (Apple's office suite) on the iPad and you can use a full size external keyboard by using the new keyboard/iPad dock or an Apple wireless keyboard. If you need to type up a...
  15. Gimme that thang!!!!!! apple keynote in progress!!!

    Flame, since being on S101, I've always enjoyed your posts, your designs and input but there was really no need for a sexual orientation comment to stereotype people who use Apple products. I drive a 19 year old Ford Ranger (definitely not hip or "in"), wear normal clothes, have a wife and...
  16. Trailer Wrap Idea

    I'm working on a trailer design to use as a sample/advertisement for a large, local trailer manufacturer/dealer. The want to offer wrap for their clients and we want to sell wraps! For a sample, we are going to wrap a small 6 ft. enclosed, V-nose trailer. They requested that maybe it target...
  17. Thoughts on this design???

    Lose the blue, I don't think it works with the green/black/white combo. It makes the number look like it was thrown on top of the design vs. being part of the design. One of the hard parts of design and something I fight daily is how to make multiple items "play nice" with each other while...
  18. Box truck wrap help

    Interesting that a salesman for the "World's Largest Wrap Supplier" would recommend a vinyl to use for a wrap, that the manufacturer doesn't recommend for wraps. I doubt that 3M would stand behind a warranty claim for IJ35C on a box truck. There are air-release, calendared vinyls that are...

  20. Box truck wrap help

    I use IJ35C on coroplast signs and other flat, short term type applications. Per 3M, IJ35C is not recommended for vehicle application. I tried a piece on some box truck rivets (just to see) and while it goes on okay, it doesn't "set in" around rivets like IJ180 and I wouldn't want to see if...
