    If I had trademarked logos posted on my website, I'd do neither of the things that I suggested... I was coming at it from a point of view that you created the graphics yourself... In that case it is stealing and people that do it know that they are doing it but don't care, so generally, my methods are required and then some in some cases.

    Good Luck! Alan

    Absolute Airbrush - my wife said it one day and I said 'that's it", so unlike Dan (LOL), I wasn't up nights, LOL Originally it was Absolute Air but then changed it to airbrush to reflect what I do... but want to change it now to reflect vinyl and printed shirts and photo transfers as well... Think of your area... your main customer demographic... give me some info and I'll see what I can come up with... I like coming up with names, jsut wish I could change mine all the time but not smart business! :-)

    Google " cease and desist" letter and send him one certified mail, that will show that you mean business. It's very common in my main industry, airbrushing... I'd also put an ad on CL stating what he's done, just to let everyone know what type of person they're dealing with... In the heading put " re (whatever his heading is)".

    Don't let it go because he's potentially making money from your pics and I have seen cases where someone could see your pics and think you're stealing from him, instead of the other way around. It is stealing...

    Good Luck, Alan

    I get mine currently from mike learn, but have some samples I got from Bren but haven't tried them yet. You may be able to just put transfer tape on the back but I haven't tried it. Learn sells it in 13 x 11" I think sheets and Bren sells it in rolls. I can't remember the thickness, I think what I use is like 5 or 7 mil, check out mike learn's site and you can find what i use there.

    I got a cutter to keep from paying high prices locally for banners and signs etc so I bought a cutter and I quickly paid for it doing small jobs for businesses and now do as much vinyl as I do airbrushing. Love now having to hand cut stencils! LOL

    GL and ask away any questions and if I can't help you, soneone else here can.

    have a nice weekend! Alan

    Welcome Dave! Lots of good information and good people here... I use a plotter for both vinyl graphics and for stencils/paint masks for airbrushing. I use Oracal 810 or 813 for paint mask, depending on the surface. I use mylar for reusable stencils, just make sure it has a carrier sheet (adhesive backed) and you're good to go.

    I just tried the manual d/l on mystat and it works, it just takes a few seconds, if you look at the bottom of your window, it will read" downloading .... pdf", then it pops up opened as a pdf then you would click on file and save to save it where you would like it.

    Hope this and feel free to ask ??s...

    Happy 'Brushin' Alan

    I've got an order to do some and was wondering 1. What type of life span can I expect from these in 10oz (which seems all that is available in Fl Green)? And 2. Is there somewhere else to get them besides Ordway? Left Coast vs. Right Coast = Longer ship times and more freight. :-)

    Thanks for your help! Alan
