  1. You apologized for the reflection, but I kinda thought that the reflection of the trees across the street, played very well with the whole "Eco-friendly" thing! I doubt that could have been planned any better! Great work!


  2. Actually, it was an Ai file. The PDF file wouldn't do anything at all! I know it is ME screwing something up, I just don't know what it is! I haven't used any of this for a while, and I have just forgotten. I was laid up, and couldn't do anything, and it sux!!!


  3. On the glass ones, I have used vinyl and I have one that is a year old, and t hold up  in our dishwasher just fine! I have not tried it in the microwave yet, though. I'm not THAT brave!


  4.      I have a Ricoh 3110, and I use Chromoblast paper. Does any one have any suggestions concerning the residual effect left after pressing. What I am trying to say is, when I print my graphic, and I apply it to the garment, not only do I get the image transferred, but also the ENTIRE outline of the transfer paper. It seems to have a "glue" effect (look) and feel to it. I generally do about 375F at about 50 or 55 lb of pressure. 

         Also, while I am here, I will also point out that since I have a chinezee press, with NO way to gauge pressure, I bought myself a fisherman's scale that goes up to 50 lb, but it is a wrap around, and actually is quite accurate! I hook it to the handle, and pull down on the scale until it clamps down, while reading the scale! Am I a genius, er what? Ok, ok, it WASN'T  entirely MY idea, but my 'ol lady is quite smart, after all, she DID chose ME for a boyfriend! :rolleyes:

         Anyway, ANY suggestions, or help would be greatly appreciated!


  5. Just a suggestion, but shouldn't the lettering above the grill have been backwards, so people could read it when they look in their mirrors? Oh wait, I''m sorry. Nowadays people don't ever look back!!! Looks great!!! Nice and crisp!

  6. The USDOT requires a phone number somewhere on the vehicle, if I am not mistaken. I have driven for over 30 years, and can't remember having ever driven one that DIDN'T have the phone number! I think it has something to do with the public having some where to report you to when you run people off the road, while sending text messages!! Anyway, I thought it looked pretty good! We charged $180.00, but we did the complete truck. Unit number, USDOT numbers all required PUC's and all that. Also, the truck we did, hauls hazardous waste, too! (perhaps THAT would explain why we glow in the dark now!) We used 651, and a REAL hard font to weed! Took us about 6 hours, or so!!!
