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

    So the VS-540 isn't the quietest printer on the planet however it usually is not THIS loud. It may have been gradual but it seems like it very quickly went from a dull zipping noise to a very irritating high-pitched digital buzzing noise as the print head slides back and forth. Has anyone...
  2. Table & Bar Wraps???

    3m Edge sealer? And maybe a lightly textured floor-grade laminate as previously mentioned?
  3. Table & Bar Wraps???

    Instead of laminate you could use clear epoxy resin to seal the tables and bar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7qyKCTwiMI you can get a jug for around $50 on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/EPOXY-RESIN-ULTRA-CLEAR-LOW-YELLOWING-UV-STABLIZED-RESIN-COATING-CASTING-3-4-GAL-/310368272742
  4. Looking for real world experienced opinions of quality laminator

    It's a two-person maneuver but not difficult once you get the hang of it. You just have to laminate as usual and when you get to the end of the table you raise the roller while ensuring that it doesn't rotate at all(otherwise it's bubbles). The key is to make sure NOTHING MOVES. Then another...
  5. Need advice on my shop's van wrap....

    I accept your opinion but I have to say it does not seem to be based on any historical, psychological, statistical or tried and true successful design teachings that I've ever encountered. I have to oppose for the sake of newbies who may not recognize it for what it is. Notes in RED While I...
  6. Need advice on my shop's van wrap....

    Googling it is a bad idea. Google does not filter out the crap so googling something does not necessarily give you results that are worth noting....It just gives you ALL the results and since 90% of what's out there is usually crap I'd say you should NOT google it. Busy or LOUD backgrounds only...
  7. Why is it this color?

    This link offers a solution. http://support.rolanddga.com/docs/Documents/departments/Technical%20Services/Manuals%20and%20Guides/rvw_printinggrey.pdf

    Needs more cowbell!!:ROFLMAO:
  9. Need advice on my shop's van wrap....

    It's definitely an improvement! I agree about the breathing room comment. One thing that is bothering me is that your logo uses a capitalized "G" but then in your slogan you use a miniscule "g". You should be consistent throughout. I think it should be miniscule in the logo because if it is...
  10. Shaded Shadow?

    My vote for illustrator here - using "extrude and bevel" under "Effects" as well as the "Map Art" in the same tool to add the texture to the face. Nice smooth gradients.
  11. need to know proper French for this

    No Dee...Du. Du beurre. :wink:
  12. need to know proper French for this

    La Bella Vita is Italian.... It's not a really a "saying" in french so there's no matching expression in french. A direct translation would be "La belle vie" Proper spelling in french would normally mean that you only capitalize the first letter of the whole saying BUT it looks better as a...
  13. Looking For a Supplier for 8' X 16' Print

    We use a company called Eclipse Imaging www.eclipseimaging.ca They do all our over-sized flex faces and banners but they do a lot of other things as well. They'll sew pockets into the material as well if you want to ratchet-strap it to the existing sign face. Great service.
  14. Font help :)

    Arial Black ended up being very close. I'll have to make some adjustments but at least i'm not starting from scratch. Thanks! Eras was too thin and curvy. Thanks for the help though.
  15. Font help :)

    Just the DARO please. Thanks!
  16. Image cut off when printing

    Can you save the file as an .eps file instead? PDF's always give me headaches when ripped. They don't uncompress well. But if you save them as an .eps they rip faster and I never have issues with pieces of the file glitching during printing.
  17. My company website, what do you guys think?

    It can definitely use some work. You need to simplify things and maybe come up with a color palette and a text hierarchy and use it consistently throughout the site. As well you can eliminate a lot of redundant text and info. For example - you have a drop-down to Web Design, then you have it...
  18. Image cut off when printing

    Yeah - will need to see the image and maybe a screen cap of the settings in the rip software. Shot in the dark but I've had issues with digital information "disappearing" in the past because my Rip software's print queue was too full. I have a bad habit of not deleting jobs from the queue after...
  19. why are magnetics sticking to car paint?

    We buy Magnum as well. Never had a customer come back to us with this issue BUT we also tell them that the magnets should be removed (customers discretion) when on major highways at higher speeds because the wind can grab them and also at night because they can easily be stolen. So maybe our...
  20. Recent Bloodmobile

    Great work! on a side note...Why can't we get buses like THAT to wrap?! It's like a billboard on wheels! Those tiny windows....it's like it was designed to be wrapped. Prime real estate there.
