    Which Printer

    I am looking at getting a printer that can print on most everything(coroplast, plastic, aluminum, Banners, Vinyl,.....) write now price wise I want to stay on the smaller side. I get alot of requests for "decals" and printed banners. I dont see on the uscutters website anything smaller, what kind of printer would I use and what kind of ink? Any info would be awesome! Thanks Jason

    Banner plus Oracal 651

    I know is sounds funny but I found when your starting out doing vinyl graphics at your house and you dont have a table big enough use a hallway WALL. Hang it level, make sure its tight, and go for it!

    Need an outline pinstripe

    Ok here is the file I am working on Below is a picture of what they had another shop do, red letters with a 1/8" gap then a 1/8" silver pinstripe. I have tried in Inkscape for a few hours to make that pinstripe around the letters like on the truck picture. Inkscape wont let me offset or inset. I also have Corel photo paint and draw v13. Is there an easier way in there to do that pinstripe? logo1.svg logo1.svg

    Need an outline pinstripe

    OH WOW, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND VIDEO JAY, IT WAS VERY VERY HELPFUL. The way I was originally doing it was tracing the picture of the door and tracing it in inkscape. But it was not working, I didnt even think about recreating the logo. Thanks Again Jay!

  16. Ok I got a request to do a graphic on a 08 Lambo Gallardo. He wants the Superleggera Sticker down the sides. He wants it in flat black with the superleggera logo. So just a flat black swoosh to say going down each side. I will be using a 24"x8' piece of oracal 651 matte black. With vehicle graphics do you guys still charge buy the foot and then labor. With my numbers I came up with $218 installed Does that seem kinda low? $8/ft x 16sqft = 128 Material $45/hr x 2 Hrs = 90 Labor http://cdn-www.rsportscars.com/images/lamborghini/2007-lamborghini-gallardo-superleggera/superleggera07_111600.jpg

    Tarrot Cards need Help please?

    Thanks for the offer but I printed it out, put a piece of clear transfer tape over it, traced it with a black marker, took off the transfer tape, stuck it to the white on my scanner, scaned it in, traced bitmap. Done, took 20 minutes! Thank you everyone!

    Tarrot Cards need Help please?

    Alright I have tried this in inkscape and I can't get it, I tried using corel power trace but couldn't get it to work(but I am very new with corel). Does anyone have this as an eps format or maybe a better jpeg I could do? These prictures are what the customer has given me, I am not familiar with Tarrot cards stuff.
  19. Cant you get the digitally printed on clear?
  20. Alright thank you everyone for your inputs good, bad, constructive, what ever I take them all as advice and appreciate the truths. I know I am not experienced as others here but would like to be, I have contacted a close local sign shop here talked to them and we are using his vinyl which is the better safer move,( BTW customer changed his mind he wants gloss black instead) we are splitting profit and we are going to install it. He's been installing for almost 15 years now. Its not that its a lambo because I have put stereos in them before and given they are not american cars, everything is harder with them. I assume the paint and clear coat is just as hard as a custom show car, its really the bubbles in the vinyl that worried me the most. Being it was 6' long for someone like me who is new to "bigger"/technical jobs alot of this is new to me. In the last 6 months that I have been doing vinyl as my full time bus./job I have been focusing on vehicle lettering, small stickers, car club logos, and small coro signs. Which I have been doing ok with income wise. I will post some pics when we are done, and he schools me on applying vehicle graphics! Thanks
  21. As for copyright stuff, I have stayed away from that stuff for the most part, but I took out the superleggera, and now its just a swoosh shape would that still be infringing on the copyright?
  22. A&P I am nervous about this I never thought about it that way though. Tomorrow morning I will go into a local sign shop, I kinda like that one better! Thats why I went on here asking opinions.
  23. I am not sure how I am going to apply it yet. Thursday it will be raining and probably 65 ish outside. I was thinking wet, because i find it easier and have less bubbles. But wet i don't know about drying and being able to unapp tape it. Tomorrow morning I am calling around to some local distributors to find some cast probably 751 or 951. when I ordered the 651 black matte, I had to get it drop shipped no one had it in stock. If not I will try calling some local sign shops. Is there anyone on here from Arizona, East Valley? I used 1 of those pics to trace and get the template. I wont see the car till tomorrow to get sizes. ANY APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED Its a stereo shop I work at and have been doing stickers for and the lambo owner had came in for stereo work, and mentioned he wanted that down the side and the stereo shop owner gave him my info.
  24. Ok I get am getting it, THANK YOU guys for the info! I will see what I can find.
  25. excuse the question, still new, but what is the difference between the cast and cal? I am in Arizona, I have the 651 the owner is dropping the lambo off wed 1/20/10 at the stereo shop where I had got this job. What would happen if I used the 651? Anyone in Arizona sell me some Cal. Black Matte?
