Graphic sharing thread... Start your EPS collection here!
Dragonduster replied to firemalt's topic in Graphic Requests
i searched around and never found the EPS of autobots from transformers so i just made it, file is too big so here is zipped Autobots logo.zip -
i vectorized this logo of wifi with black and white colors, after i cut it with signblazer, the inside (white) part was bigger than the black one, didnt fit it anymore, could someone check it? im attaching the EPS and a pic of the logo. the white cut is bigger than the black, sorry for the blurry image, but i think one can still see the difference =) WiFi Zone.eps

thank you =D
-
kk thank you again coaster, will do once i get home..... just 4 hrs more U_U
-
the first ime i resized it, when i imported it, i selected all making a square a lot bigger than the image, then below there is the size, so i pressed 6 in the bigger number and it increased the other number automaticaly, but with the second try it was the default size. and thank you for explaining how the ctrl works!!! i always wanted to know how to select all the graphic and not just 1, i will try it again with the registration mark
-
i think with a "like this" would be good if they are lazy to just reply a thank you, i am always thankful to the people who help here, even if i dont download the file, because those are the people that makes a great forum keeping it helpful and alive. so thank you everyone!!

mmm.... i though it could be because i was connected via usb, btw the defaul size is around 2" and i made it 6" in the first pic, thats how it was most noticeable about sizes, with the 2" there wasnt that much difference, hardly noticed it. when you make the registration mark, what color should i make it? because if i make it black, it wiont show in the white bar, i will try it adding a white and black in the same place, one above the other and see how it works once i get home
-
thanks, i bought the heat gun and is on the way already, i will check the wall and if its textured, i will buy the tennis ball, but most of the houses here doesnt have texture on the walls, at least new ones
-
i think there will be a job for a decoration for inside a house, but i only have the greenstar vinyl bundle that i got when i bought my cutter and orcal 651 in white, would the greenstar be good for it or should i just scrap them and buy oracal?
-
yes, all i did was open it with signblazer, press the cut button, and in the left side it shows the black and white color, i cut them separately, first the black then the white. i just installed it in the door with just the black one, didnt fill with the white color, but its hard to recognize too, i will change it to a more light blue later once i get that color.

How do you price?
Dragonduster replied to Dragonduster's topic in Business Practices, Sales and Pricing, etc.
150k a year is a lot, 15k profit isnt a lot but its a lot better than where i was working, i could get around 6k a year without spending anything and by how the dollar is goin up compared to pesos, i would get a lot less -
i can do that with the black only, cut the black one and just weed the parts where the white would go, it will go in a transparent door, thats why i was testing in the acrylic, i will just have to do it like cowboy said at first, i wanted to do it the other way tho, that way from inside it will look just the same, but reversed
-
thanks, that helped with position, i think i will wait for the keyspan until i make more test, i did a test again but smaller cut and it was a little bit bigger, hardly noticeable, maybe because i have it usb to usb connected. thanks for the help guys. i appreciate it.
-
here is the screenshot to the preview of the cutting, the white one is at the bottom left instead of where it should be, like in the pic 2
-
so u went from $400-575 to $95? or just 95 for the door one?
-
i am home now, i will try to cut it with the registration marks, here is the first logo that i put together in acrylic to see how it looks. the F should be aligned with the left side, and it doesnt fit i know everyone is here to help, thats why i am asking, or i wouldnt even bother to ask, i know people are busy and all, i just want to know more about this.

can you really see a 3" letter at 100' ? i would have a hard time reading it at 30' already lol

How do you price?
Dragonduster replied to Dragonduster's topic in Business Practices, Sales and Pricing, etc.
lets say if you sold only 1, the cost would be $0.30 and u would charge them something like $5.30 lets say for buying 1, but if they buy 100 of them, that would be $30, then you wouldnt charge them the fee and would charge only the $30? -
yes, i though of it first, but i wanted to practice doing it the other way because there will be customers who wants it the way i am saying, others wont mine the way cowboy said it and its easier too but there is no point in practicing it layering on top of the other vinyl when a customer ask you to place it inside of the first layer of vinyl. i just want to be sure i will be able to do it any way the customer wants it. i dont have anything right now, but i was just looking at the future

i would say alignment if the "Wi" were the same size as in the hole and werent palced right, in the picture i show, u can see the right side of the W fits inside the W of the black vinyl, but as it goes left side, the white vinyl wont fit anymore, since its a little bigger. what cutting software did you use? i used signblazer and when i press the "cut" button to go into the preview, it split it in 2 colors, when i press the white color one, all the white part goes to the botom left size instead of where it should be in the logo, once i get home i will post screenshots of how it looks so you can help me if you used the same software and thanks for doing that cut and help me.

Store front window graphics inside or out?
Dragonduster replied to jhumbeutel's topic in General discussion
i installed the name of the restaurant of my parents in color red and a shadow of the letters in yellow (all manual cut) and i dont know what brand the vinyl is, but it was the cheapest one for sure, i installed it inside and so far its still looking good after 3-4 years
