Graphics

[xring]

Hi Folks,
We are expecting our 5.0 in March. I think I have nailed down our build sheet but am curious about custom Graphics. What are the options and who do we use to design and manufacture them.
Any help is appreciated

Have you asked Escape this question? I’ve seen posts where their graphics supplier will work with customers on special decal designs

Most any of the many sign-shops in the Dickinson / Houston area should be able to make most anything you can imagine in whatever colors you want; many also offer design services for a fee.

Most of my 'custom graphics' involved selective removal of the ETI tape and labels, but my local Bastrop Signs and Banners wsa able to make different-sized "Escape" labels perfectly matching the ETI originals (FYI the ETI font is "Handel Gothic Italic" if you want to match).

Have Fun!

Yes, when we wanted "Prairie Schooner" we went thru Escape and they applied the graphics.

ETI's supplier is local to them and we've visited the shop. They're very helpful.

I'd say that if you're absolutely certain of the design etc. that you want you could likely pass that on to ETI and have it done.

But if it's a design that might be a work in progress I'd wait until you're home and can visit a graphics shop and work out the finer details of the design.

I like how you cleaned up the "E" at aft end of your trailer Alan. Looks cleaner and uncluttered. I will attempt something similar as well

Thank you. It's very easy to 'subtract' graphics when the trailer is fresh off the factory floor - I just used my fingernail to get each piece started at a corner and each section pulled-off in one piece. Methinks with more age on the graphics it might be a tad more difficult/piecemeal though certainly still do-able (maybe a risk of 'sun shadows' if they were on there a very long time?).

Have Fun!
