    I hope you can see the photo well enough... I am looking for a font that is very similar to the metal letters that are in this photo that spell out "Beer Cave". I darkened the B to try to use whatthefont.com, but it didn't come up with anything close. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
  4. Let's Try This Again... (sign hardware)

    I posted a pic a customer sent yesterday with a sign in a frame, looking to locate the frame. I think I have narrowed it down and found something in the shop that is similar, but it is old and has no indication of where it was purchased. If anyone can help me identify and source these I would...

    Does anyone have any experience with installing mylar to vehicle windshields? I just had a customer call and ask about it and I have never done anything with the material.

  8. Dimensioning Tool for Illy?

    Looking for some feedback on dimensioning in Illustrator. I need something compatible with Illustrator CC. We have one license of CadTools and we like it, but we need a couple more licenses and they are $350, which is a lot. We don't need all the CAD capabilities either, just need to dimension...
  9. Onyx / Graphtec Print to Cut Issues with Over 8 Feet of Material

    I need some help... We have an HP Latex 360, Onyx and a Graphtec FC8600. Print to cut works fine on shorter lengths of material, however anything over 8 feet gives us trouble. We put registration marks about every 20". The plotter will start to scan the marks, and do one of 2 things - it will...
  10. JV3 Printing solid color over test draw

    New Mimaki problem from earlier today. We have all the heads printing now, but the printer is now covering the test draw with a solid color. We unplugged everything from the slider board when it printed pink over the test draw, that made it turn to blue. I switched out all the head ribbon...

  12. Vinyl for Reefer Trailer front

    Hi everyone, I am looking for some recommendations for vinyl for the front of a reefer trailer. Cut vinyl would be better, but we could print too. We put intermediate vinyl on the front of the reefer (the part that protrudes) a few months ago, had to heat it up to get it to adhere, and now it...
  13. Short Rolls!?

    I would like to find out if anyone else has noticed this and if it's happening at my shop, it's got to be happening elsewhere. Over the past few months we have had some projects where we needed almost the entire 10yd roll of material and so I ordered just enough. I found on 4 occasions that the...
  14. How do they do that??

    This is something that has been bothering me for a while, and it seems pretty trivial, but here goes anyways. We have an Edge printer and the roll holders for it. I don't understand how to use the roll holder for the vinyl that gets printed. It doesn't wind by itself around the roll, and the...
  15. Splash Page Design

    We are going to be getting a new website that has an online store next month. I want to promote this and put up a splash page on our current website, maybe use it for our Facebook cover page, etc. This is what I have come up with - any suggestions? Design isn't really what I do, so I know I'm...
  16. CS6 Dimension Tool?

    If you are running Illustrator CS6, do you have a dimension tool and which one is it? I have heard of BPT-Pro, which only goes up to CS5 and HotDoor, which is compatible. Any other options out there? Thanks!
  17. Vinyl Comparison Chart

    I am in the process of organizing some information to make choosing and ordering vinyl easier for when it's a little more hectic around here. Before I spend too much time on this, am I reinventing the wheel? Here is what I am putting together. I am pulling the datasheets on the vinyl to get the...
  18. What do you study?

    Not sure which forum this belongs in (Fred, help me out!), but I wanted to discuss this with some fellow sign industry people. I just read somewhere that if you read for 1 hour every day in your chosen field, in 7 years you will become an expert. So that got me wondering, what do you all read...
  19. Font ID help please!

    Hello and happy day after Christmas! Anyone recognize this font, or more likely, the font of the capitalized letters and the font of the lowercase part? Thanks!
  20. Ford 4x4 decal - anyone have the vector??

    Hi! I'm looking for a vector of the new 4x4 decal that is on the 2014 Ford F150. I found it on brands of the world, but it is an autocad (cdr) file. Can anyone share the vector or maybe convert? I tried opening/placing/importing the file in Illustrator and Composer, but no luck. Thanks!
