  1. Client Asked Me To Relocate Plastic Gemini Letters. ADVICE?

    Gemini can't make drill patterns for plastic letters after they leave the factory. The studs are not always in the same spot.
  2. Acrylic Letters to Cement Face

    Lexel is a great product. I don't know why anyone would use silicone on a job where they really need to be extra secure.
  3. Mural?

    You don't need to hire a muralist for that. It looks like all solid colors. I like NovaColor but you would have to mix the colors. As others said a good quality acrylic latex. Either a pounce pattern or project it on with an overhead projector in the dark. You could do the rooster using a grid...
  4. Clear coat Gold Leaf

    I would ask Gemini again if they clear them. You may have gotten wrong information from someone. Or possibly they don't realize they don't need to clear coat them. I know they only recently started gilding letters. I would be afraid the clear may deteriorate before the bare gold would...

  6. Oh no!! No serial port after new motherboard. Only usb's.

    I don't know if this helps but for what it's worth: a couple years ago I had the Plotter Doctor in Los Angeles build me a computer to run my 4b, Edge and Omega 2.6. It uses windows XP. I do remember some issue with serial ports having to be the right kind. Obviously I'm not too qualified in this...
  7. Commercial grade silicone adhesive?

    silicone I too, use Lexel when I need something to stay forever. You will not be able pull it off, ever. But be neat with it, it doesn't just wipe off like silicone. I do use silicone more often. SignMart has their name brand that works good. I can usually tell by price. If it's real cheap...
  8. Storefront vs Home Based Business?

    I have done both and have been home based the last few years. I'll list a few random reasons. 1. I have no desire to grow larger, just better. 2. I usually meet with customers at their place. There are a few reasons for that. 1. I like to see what they have. Office, shop, vehicles, etc. I...

  10. Need help identifying artsy font

    I cant get What the font to work. A customer brought me this. I like it, too. Can anyone identify it? It is from a new architecture magazine. They use it on every article so it may be proprietary.
  11. How do I save as a word file?

    Thank you all. I think I did it.
  12. How do I save as a word file?

    My customer wants to use Word. Isn't there a way to save a PDF, AI, or anything else into a format that can be open in Word so he can type a letter on his letterhead?
  13. How do I save as a word file?

    I have created a letterhead design for a customer. I created it in Omega, saved it as a PDF for him. He needs to open it in Word. I don't even know if that's Microsoft Word or Word perfect. Omega lets me save as WP2 and Illustrator has a lot of formats but the few I've tried don't open in...
  14. Oracal Questions

    I have never had a problem with 3M or Arlon cast vinyls in 30 years. I avoid anything that costs less. Oracal 751 says in their color chart "Value priced".

  17. Best method for paper stickers?

    Thanks. That's the kind of info I was hoping for. I have never heard of a digital label press until now. I'll check into it.
  18. Best method for paper stickers?

    I am mainly a sign maker along with some vinyl printing so I am no expert at printed material. I have a long time loyal customer who has me do paper stickers and other various items. I have 4Over.com do them and it has been profitable for me. They use a 4c process on 70 lb adhesive back paper...
  19. Ronan Aquacote on glass and automotive paint

    I guess my real question is: On a well prepped surface, glass or automotive paint, does completely cured Aquacote, say, after two weeks, have good adhesion to those surfaces? I have no problems on plastic, painted wood or any other sign substrate. Thanks.
