looks good to me, butt
iff you have trouble with apllying time, make it yourself easy, and don’t be cheap on your vinyl, i always work with the thought that my time is more expensive then my material.
make a frame, set registration marks in your design, it will take up a bit more vinyl butt if you count the differnce between the used vinyl and the actual design: see what it costed you extra, then look at what time you spared out and see what that would have costed you’ll see that iff you can gain only 15 minutes in applying time you have 2 meters of (macfleet) u can use extra for framing and registration, the lesser you have to use from those 2 meters are extra profit to you.
at least that’s how i see it.
did i mention it was a nice clean design?

Thats quite a nice design,
But come on, spill the beans, why did it take so long? Would love to know, It may save me some time in the future,

Looks realy nice,
I would have run the line of text under the panel tho and sat the logo central within the panel, or if the customer insisted on both fitting in the panel reduced them slightly, for me the word lanscape is a little to close to the edge of the panel, only my humble oppinion, still looks good tho.
As Peter said what problems did you have, if you explain them maybe someone can help you to avoid this in the future, or if you solved them let us know what you did and how.
Bet the customer was pleased with the end result tho :thumbsup:

Sorry i should have made it clearer in the first post. there was no problems with the fitting at all!
i always use good quality vinyl as i know from working for tight bosses in the past that cheap vinyl just isnt cost effective.
the customer is a friend of a friend and neglected to mention that the vehicle was already sign written! it was the nastiest cheapest vinyl going and left glue all over it, was still really difficult to remove with adhesive remover or thinners or meths!
the customer really wanted it in the panels! i try to tell them what they should have but once they get an idea in their head thats it!!! 😉
