Any one have any ideas what font this could be? Customer sent me the picture.

I don't know if there is a matching font, but this is EngraverGothic BT with a contour for thickness and then a cover to fill in the "R" done in CorelDraw.

I think the "R" needs to be worked on but that could be done pretty easy.

Client doesn't know his/her own font?

It's that squared-off "R" that makes it a little tougher. Yours is round like most.
I'm just a little surprised that someonme would have a picture of cut and partially weeded text, but not have made a note of the font they used (assuming it's been converted to outlines or curves and isn't a fony any longer)

I so agree......

I just noticed the "R" may not have been weeded yet so it may not even need to be closed.  I guess we'll know

Thank you all for your help and input.

So yesterday the customer called me asking if I can do one shirt with a number for a volleyball team's "Libero" (they get a different color jersey) they or the other place forgot for a game on Saturday. I thought easy enough, so I sent a proof with the number on the back of a shirt saying if they sent a picture of the jersey I might be able to match the font used. The customers mother calls later and says it needs to have "Keller" on the back to match and says she will send a picture. That is the picture I got! My first thought is why can't the place you went to make the jersey? And why would they send the customer a picture of partially weeded vinyl?

Either way I produced it, they have it for the game, and are happy. Sometimes it makes you wonder!

Yup. 

Tks for the update.  Remember, the customer is always right......except when they are wrong, lol.

The question is, with all the back and forth for 1 jersey did you bill enough?  That's a rhetorical question, just there to make you think.  I am not a same day shop.  I had a good contract customer drop an order off at 4:25 Wednesday and asked if they could be done on Thursday by the end of the day.

I diplomatically said no, inside I was so ticked off.  They knew this order was coming in the week before.  I get ZERO notice until 24 hours before the team leaves for a trip.   We had already planned to relevel the press and do maintenance.
