Thanks. Yeah I played around with it and it will work well. Thanks John

just about every program allows you to slant it as much or little as you want. I know SignBlazer does.

Try this one. Not the best redraw but considering the original not too bad. If nothing else it should give you a head start with some node editing. Jay bee.eps

I have a prime downtown Anchorage location for my shop I pay $1650/month for 1600/sq ft.(which is a great deal) I am not working out of my basement or closet. This isn't a hobby this is my livelihood. This is a for profit business with overhead. This is a business that has been around since 1957 with a loyal client base. I purchased the company just over a year ago and I am expanding to include more services other than just custom engraved signs and rubber stamps. Even @ $1626 I think I left quite a bit of money on the table. Did it take more time than it should have? — Probably. DId I charge them for all of the time I put into it? — Not even close. Am I the cheapest in town? — Probably not. I didn't even charge them for set up or artwork. I probably should have. Again not sure how to value that either. I can tell ya there wasn't a single bubble in the vinyl when we got done. Everything was level and centered. I take pride in the work I put out and I believe there is value in that. Just not sure what that value is sometimes...

The numbers in the post is how much vinyl I actually used on the truck not counting the vinyl I wasted. This is a BIG truck it is over 9ft 9inches tall. UPDATE I delivered a bill for $1626 and they were very happy with the price. They actually are purchasing another service truck and want the same thing on it when it arrives along with 2 sets of 24"x18" Magnetic signs for their utility vans because they are used for their other businesses. 66sq ft X $11/sq ft. = $726 for the material 3 guys @ 15hrs x $60/hr Install. = $900 Labor (added the 2 hours it took to clean the truck.) I also edge sealed everything. I live in Alaska where anything you buy comes with a $100+ shipping cost. I think the price is more than fair considering all the time & materials put into it. Another shop quoted $2400 to do the job based off my proofs and $4500 for a wrap.

I tried to shortcut putting decals on a car this weekend. It is 2 layered decals on a car and I have been really busy lately and I thought since they are only text and the biggest one is only 8 X 40 that I would go ahead and layer them then put them on. I was ashamed of how it looked when I was done. It was full of bubbles. So my first thought was, I knew better than doing it like that, but went ahead and done it anyways. Sooooooooooooo, LESSON LEARNED, the hard way. LOL Put the decal on the car one layer at a time. How many use the wet method for both layers, verses first layer dry then the second layer wet?

city name covered, but how can you miss this and put it on the road?

Trial and error is about the only way until you get all figured out. mark-s
