Hi mate, I use sign wizard also, have vinylmaster and signlab but find wizard the easiest to use, just upgraded to version 6, takes a bit of getting used to after years of the old 4.1. Just purchased Illustrator CS2 as well, now thats gonna take some learning, probably never will have time unfortunatetly.

welcome aboard mate…

Hi Scott, :welcome:

Moto x graphics are coming along. There is a few guys reverse printing with true solvents onto soft pvc (coffee shop curtain clear pvc) and then laminating transfer adhesive onto print side. The key is to find a low surface energy adhesive or vinyl that will last more than a few races. Good market though as graphics will always get damaged,,,, repeat work.
Good luck with it all.

quote michael potter:What is it with us Aussies I started with signwizard
I started with Sign Wizard from the very beginning. Not upgrading to V6 though, coz I think its just as cheap to use Corel x3 and V5 together. Much cheaper 😕
My last sign shop had the 3 user version, at the time we were the biggest installation behind Carton United Brewery. It was before CASMATE became popular, and all the others out there now. We used the CASMATE Dos version before windows 3.1 came out. Now that was hard work compared to today.
The Signwizard sales guy was brilliant at the time, I still see him around as he heads one of the big Flat Bed agents here in Oz, but when he gave the agency away, the new people were not a patch on his expertise, so sign guys were swayed elsewhere. Its a real pity because as it is very good software, even the older 4.1 version stacks up well even now.

Brooke, You pretty much described how i do my graphics so i was wondering if you have any knowledge of the die cutting process. I currently hand cut them.
Cheers Scott -
Hi THere scott, Kadina huh!! I’m friends with Brian Earl and have been to Kadina and Walleroo many times. Nice spot. I’m In Loxton up on the river murray but soon to be a queenslander. (my sign shop will still be running back home) Welcome aboard the board mate! Show us some of ya stuff!

Hi Rod,
Yeah I actually work for Brian as my main job and do my graphics after hours. I’m starting to pick up more and more work but not enough to work full time for myself yet. I lost my leg in a bad bike accident two years ago (i used to race) and by doing graphics i still get to be involved with everything…
If you let me know your email I’ll send ya a pic through.Cheers Scott.

im amazed by the amount of folk from OZ on this site… there are lots that participate but much much more that just browse.
-
quote Robert Lambie:there are lots that participate but much much more that just browse.
That’s because us Aussies are painfully shy mate. I’m a perfect example of that 🙄 😉

Cheers Scott.hhmm.. not sure I’d like one of my employees doing his own thing after hours 😛 Sorry to hear about your leg tho Scott. Do you work with a prosthetic limb mate? Guess it adds an element of difficulty to some jobs.
-
Hello Scott, good to see yet another Aussie on the forum – not that I have a problem with Jocks 😀
-
Hi Scott, Early told me about one of his workers loosing a leg in a bad crash didnt know it was you.. sorry to hear about that! (i raced motorcross and speedway for many years when my balls were bigger) hehehe I still have a wr450 for stress relief.
I have been working in Melbourne for a couple weeks and when i got home turned around and flew up to queensland with my wife to find a house as we are moving to sunshine coast in two weeks.
Keep in contact, show me some of ya stuff and say g’day to Brian and sonya for us!
Cheers!
