  1. Discussion Where does one draw the line between graphics and a wrap?

    That project in either iteration would be a print/cut job for us. Unless 60-70% of the body is covered or the diecutting is so intricate as to make application too difficult, we'd break this into its various pieces and go at it.
  2. How would I go about wrapping a water tower?

    There is a Walldogs International group on Facebook. As a lifetime Walldog who was featured in a 1982 Signs Of The Times article focussed on our impending demise, I'm relieved and proud to know that predictions of our extinction were inaccurate. Having actually done several water tanks, I'll...
  3. How would I go about wrapping a water tower?

    The very NAME of this website infers and suggests a LEARNING or classroom environment.
  4. Any Good Wide Format Printers w/Cutters under $20,000?

    We're running a GERBER P2C 48" and a Roland VP540 VersaCamm and frankly can't see much difference in plotting accuracy except in the area of doing really long runs. The stand alone plotter did about a 200" long run of text yesterday and the Roland wouldn't handle that long of a run without some...
  5. WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO BRAND OF PRINTABLE VINYL?

    I think most manufacturers suggest you wait at least two weeks before applying over latex paint. I used to work at a shop that handled all the graphics for six local art museums and as well as no small number of art galleries in Santa Fe, NM. home to the largest number of art galleries west of...
  6. Cluster ....

    One of the reasons these out of state vendors are engaging local installers is so that they don't have to send a crew out for field measurements or the installation. They try to find colleagues that are as close to the project as possible to cut down on travel expenses. Everyone has to decide...
  7. Cluster ....

    In cases where the client wants or expects us to reuse the poly or acrylic, we use a full coverage, edge to edge digital print on translucent white material and it pretty much looks like a new panel. We price it both ways and make no guarantees that there won't be some minor ghosting through the...
  8. Critique requested

    It was obviously designed by someone with some big time skills and confidence in knowing that one needn't cram every inch with text or imagery to project a high quality image.
  9. Critique requested

    What about doing the swan as a graphical element in the background just a few shades lighter or darker than the background color with the lettering set in front of it? All the font choices I've seen so far seem very dated and overused. Nothing screams 80's vinyl shop more than Tiffany. Well...

    Is it Penis Semi-Upright?
  11. What is the best method for color matching Vinyl from a color call out?

    I'm not sure where some of the manufacturers came up with their conversion formulas from, but some need a lot of tweaking to work. You also have to take your profiles and materials into account.
  12. If the big design firms...

    Nothing goes with Coke like a big juicy burger or steak. How about cramming some medium rare meat in there somewhere?
  13. When someone asks..."Is that the best price you can give me?"

    Variations of that have been used for decades and decades. Adhering to it is usually the challenge.
  14. WTF? For as old as I am, this should be obvious

    Thanks bud. I guessed Americana in some weight, but thought the serifs were all too pointy.
  15. WTF? For as old as I am, this should be obvious

    Sorry folks, total senior moment on this one. It's so 70's and 80's, it should be in the memory bank.
  16. When someone asks..."Is that the best price you can give me?"

    Of course, there is. That's why I tried to make the distinction in my example.
  17. When someone asks..."Is that the best price you can give me?"

    We have plenty of customers who play the game as it was taught to them either culturally or through work experiences. Some people just need to feel like they struck a bargain or good deal in order to justify what they consider doing their due diligence. That's why we try to quickly perceive...

  19. Texas' High-school Football Obsession and half million dollar sign

    With the hostility towards regulations and the "guvmint" there, it wouldn't matter if they took longer to build them. Corners will always be cut if people know nobody is watching them. Look what the idiots did in all the national parks during the shutdown just because there weren't any baby...
  20. Buying a UV Printer, what do you suggest

    The obvious questions are: Do you already have a busier than average shop doing a large enough volume of flatbed type printing to justify the investment both monetarily and space wise? Do you have a fairly large, CLEAN space for this type of printer and the electrical infrastructure to support...
