    I would call the shots in this case. Make them send you a zipped folder with all the print ready files and run a batch print. Only issue...as you stated...tying up personnel by someone having to babysit and replace paper as necessary...which a multi-tasker could do while tending to other projects.

     

    I would just outsource the job to a larger print shop and charge a "hassle fee". If they don't like the price they can simply move on. Big jobs are worth big $$  B)

    So they needed more than just prints?

     

    I must be confused. Needing secretarial service IMO would be needing you to revise, edit, or proofread the files first. Print shops would be responsible for the downloading/printing, collating/sorting, and mail merge/adding postage info for direct mailing (if needed).

    That iss true I never seen it either but then I typed flat back reflective on eBay got that link. However I believe that's still glossy, wonder if they could spray it with flat clear coat and if it would reflect. I personally doubt it, but worth a shot.

     

    Yeah I thought about that and also a matte lamination. Not sure what either would do to the reflective characteristics though.

    I would suggest to go with the wrap grade Avery SW900 for car body decals....stripes and large pieces such as hood/roof with complicated curves will be much easier with the wrap vinyl. Not to mention it will peel cleaner and leave less glue than regular vinyl when eventually removing the graphics.

    Local guy gave me complete creative control of his truck last week after seeing some of my other work. Wrapped his hood and tailgate in Avery SW900 Matte Black. Wrapped the emblems in that same matte black and applied Oracal 951 Silicon Metallic as the "Ford", "F-150", Smoke Edition lettering to match the paint. Also gave him some custom "FX2 Smoke Edition" cut from 751 Matte Black. Its all about the little details when doing truck accents  ;D

    You do such great work Moody. Nice job. That total package with the lift and tires and all just looks incredible. 

     

    Thanks! Yeah this truck is a beast. 37" tires w/Method wheels and full long travel Fox and RPG suspension setup. Plus with the extra wide fenders I was afraid it wasn't going to fit in the garage lol

    I switched up to a Wacam Intuos and havent missed my mouse since. Much more fun when you have that much control of design work. I got so used to it I actually put away my mouse...and its a great "security" system when my computer is booted up since nobody else knows how to use it  :lol:

    I must be doing something wrong, non of the websites offer pic for resolution for 53"x96", I even looked for any images of that size.  

     

    You will have to buy the largest photo you can (300 DPI) and scale it up. If it looks blurry you may have to attempt to take one yourself or have a photographer take it. You won't find an 8' tall photo on the internet...
