  1. Need help with 7' x 19' blank banner pieces

    Or depending on how you're going to hang it... have 'em weld in some top/bottom pole pockets. Each banner will probably weigh around 15lbs. A piece of conduit and a couple of brackets on each side of the window should do the trick. (and another piece of conduit in the bottom to keep it taut)
  2. Glass permanently etched by decals?

    +1 for citrus cleaner, but get the good stuff -- not the trash from Walmart or automotive stores. You want 85% concentrate (in spray) or up to 92% (in aerosol). It can be found in the bigger roofing supply stores -- my friend manufactures it and sells to to a lot of the big roofing supply...
  3. Replicated Worn-Off Hand Lettering

    Looks good! Not sure what he meant by that comment, but I'd guess that's it's missing cracks... and maybe lighten the red a bit.
  4. Shitter stickers!

    This is what I use too. Works great. Never had any issues with lifting.
  5. Dibond Box signs

    ^ Exactly this. When customers give you a complete breakdown of materials and such... they're basically trying to keep you from marking things up... and ultimately trying to make you negotiate your own labor costs. It's insulting, really. If I were you, I'd just quote these guys using your own...
  6. Newbie Graphics Question

    In most cases (90% of the time), there's no such thing as "converting" social media "crap" to something really useable with a few mouse clicks. Nor is a bitmap to SVG conversion going to magically recreate all (or even part of) the data that was lost when the designer exported that file to a...
  7. Looking for Software Alternatives

    Another possible hardware issue (I experienced this recently). If your CPU cooler isn't doing it's job (or even if it's got a liquid cooler and the pump is starting to fail), the built in CPU protection will throttle the CPU clock speed to prevent overheating. If that's the case, you'll need...
  8. Possible to apply Braille and tactile lettering directly to the wall?

    I've looked for tactile strip / badge suppliers in the past (for a retrofit job), but every supplier I came across stated their strips weren't ADA compliant... or at the very least.. they couldn't guarantee that an inspector would approve it.
  9. Possible to apply Braille and tactile lettering directly to the wall?

    Interesting... Having those pictograms cut out seems like a hazard. Folks running their fingers around to find the braille and getting a finger stuck / cut. Personally, I'd probably do a reverse print on clear acrylic, leaving negative space for the pictos, then processing the letters and...
  10. Printing on frosting....

    Arlon, Avery, 3M, MACtac and GF. I've printed on those plenty of times over the years (previously with my Mutoh, and these days with my S80). No problems at all.
  11. Printing on frosting....

    You can totally print on frosting... with a single-nozzle printer. It's called the ButterCream2000 Piping Bag.

    You're not asking for help. You're just throwing every job you get at us just to save on your labor. Clearly you're doing this for commercial purposes, and you've been leeching our time for 8 years without so much as a single contribution to our community or bothering to do any work yourself...

    51 posts, all of them font ID requests, and not a single contribution since you joined 8 years ago. Do you even try to do your own work? JFC Maybe try this forum instead: https://typography.guru/forums/forum/43-font-identification/ Or this: https://www.myfonts.com/pages/whatthefont Or this...
  15. Aircraft graphics

    Paint is always the best / most durable choice... just not the cheapest or easiest. Hydrodipping requires a tank to submerge a part (but only "small" parts). Plane parts are way to big for any type of hydrodipping scenario -- and there isn't much you can take off a plane. Everything is...
  16. Aircraft graphics

    Yep. very strict. I've installed airplane graphics for American before, and they were only allowed to use material the FAA approved for their fleet. They didn't tell me "which" media they used, but that it was something that's not available on the regular market -- I assume it was this...
  17. Need Help Where to source table top roll up banner stands

    Yeah, I know what you mean. All the ones I've seen over the years are very cheap... except for a very nice (all metal) one I purchased back in 2015. At that time, it cost $39 (wholesale) + $12 in shipping. No idea what they cost now, but you might contact the folks at exhib-it.com and ask 'em...
  18. Camouflage Patterns

    AI would work really well for that. Have you tried using an AI art generator (then follow it up with an AI raster to vector converter). Personally I use Midjourney + Tracejourney -- they both work really well and have more advanced options than what a lot of AI sites offer. It takes a little...
  19. Roof decal, to be seen from airplanes/satellite

    Alternatively, hop on fiver and have someone add the design to the video (good video editors can make it look very realistic). A lot cheaper than a banner.
