not sure on locations etc but give australian sign supplies a call. they are a big oracal distributor in oz.
-
Thank you Robert for the advice.Already did but thinking of importing the stuff do you know anyone around you.Another Silly question 2 how can i put my photo up on this Site I’m new to this site . :)Cheers Nancy
-
importing it? hmmm ide suggest going direct to oracal in germany for that.
-
Orafol will almost certainly direct you to Australian Sign Supplies ,there is no way they would let you import it directly especially if its just for your own use. They are very loyal to their distributors. I would stick to getting it from Australian Sign Supplies.

Thanks Guys I got told about this Site that its good and will help me in so many ways . Maybe you can tell that i don’t know bugger all about it .It will take time. Here in Australia if you start a business you are on your own. Asking for advice NO WAY they will tell you why are you doing it. Very Helpful!!Thank you guys Have a great day i Guess .Cheers Nancy

NancyContact ags.com.au about this. They have affiliations with Oracal all over OZ I think.
They sell the roland gear too. fantastic company, I am sure they can help.
If you need anything else, just let me kow. I run a roland 540 too , converted to solvent with techink.

oh me
Ok I’m Nancy from Australia.
I’m 23 And The word (can’t do) is not in my dictionary.
I do everything from design to finished artwork. Its all I love
Originally I started as a graphic designer studied for three years full time.
the Worked Three jobs day and Night.
I’m a full time graphic designer and Digital Printer night time.
I do websites brochures catalogs BC Ads etc… I just got into Signage recently and its fun . I’m always on the computers i use Mac PC and all i can say I’m still at the start and will never finish.
I Love it -
thanks for that nancy, sounds like you have a good bit of knowledge behind you before getting into this game, thats can only be a good thing for sure. im sure you will do well with ytour positive attitude to work.
look forward to seeing more from you on the boards. 😀 -
No worries Mate
One question Robert
I need a book or books that teaches me about car graphics and more signage tips and tricks etc.
Do you know anything that i can order i don’t mind the price if its high.
Just want something to feed my brain. 🙂
Nancy -
do you mean on the design side of it or cutting, applying the vinyl?
-
I meant more lets say i want to practice on my car i want a book generally for signage that shows and explains how to measure the artwork area on the car and start from there .
Im good in illustrator photoshop indesign corel .
i want 2 jump into finished job in signage
I know how to operate the printers . But want to learn techniques that usually man follow. 🙂 I know it wont be easy but have to start somewhere. with time and practice I’m sure ill be OK 🙂 -
im not sure about i oz, but in the states and uk there is software for that.
what i mean is… in the uk we have cd’s that compile almost every make and model of commercial vehicle. within your software you would access the disk and open the vehicle of your choice. this vehicle will open at the true size on screen. from here you can size the graphics you have created to suit each area of the car/van.that said. if you have to design right to the edges of panels etc it is always better to take a size of the panels with a measuring tape. that said.. i dont do that often these days.
software isnt always needed. using some sign makers techniques you can take a digital picture of the vehicle and scale it on screen, again giving accurate measurements to work from.
-
Would you know how i can where i can find this software in UK how can i order it what is it called.
So there is no books whats so ever regarding signage generally.
BUGGER.
🙂 -
here is a good magazine from the states. you can buy it in oz…
well worth the subscription. http://www.signcraft.com/the software over here may not suit the vehicles over there though…
there is some in the states, maybe shane or some of our freinds from the states could point you in the software direction? -
Thank you Robert 🙂
I’ll start bugging Shane then 🙂 -
Can you guide me in getting that software that Robert told me about 🙂
Nancy -
this is the one i use… but like i said. may not be any use to you. 😕
-
OHHHHHHH
I had a look
This is great I have a very good idea now .
Thank you Robert. 🙂
This is gonna be so much fun practicing on my car. -
