In reference to why you cant see image you uploaded.... Photoshop can handle a lot of permutations, Some of which are incompatible to the internet. For example if you are turning your image into a nice little JPG for putting on the web, and you forget to change the mode from CMYK to RGB...

Wrong. I have gotten local business come in from searches on social media which is backed up by the fact that I have a basic free webpage that one can put on Linked in or Facebook, etc as your website. And then people can click on it and go to it, so it makes them feel that you are actually in...

First of all, If you dont have ANY website that is crazy. At least set up a free webpage on one of the webpage sites. And make sure you are on Linked in and Facebook, business can trickle in from that. Secondly, Have you forgotten that you are a printer? Print up small ad sheets with a coupon...

I've seen this incompatibility before. I needed it done fast so.... I sprayed it from a distance with Rustoleum ultra cover clear. Or, if you can get it, I am a big fan of SEM 13003 vinyl clear coat. If you can get a light coat on without it dissolving and moving the ink, then you can add a...

Yeah. I think it should be Hot Crack Fill over a Big Butt-scape below it

Work orders are very specific to each company. It has to have on it the actual stuff and nuances of the stuff that the company actually does.. So you must design your own. and in that way you can have the sequence and arrangement of items in the positions that work best for you. A good work...

Did you ever try putting on 2 decals One over the other? The qhosting should not come thru on 2 decals.

Whenever I get stuck identifying a font I sent him a JPG and what I think is close and he always knows what the correct font is. Then I go on his Identifont site and voluntarily contribute some money because he is worth it. When he ID's a font, if it is a foundary font, he always tells me I...

My go-to font expert is David at Identifont <djd@identifont.com> , He would know if it was legit or not.

Here is my problem with any kind of glue that is made to adhere to the acrylic.... What about the wall? The glue could dissolve or seep into the surface or paint on the wall and then it detaches from the wall with all the glue still adhering nicely to the letters.

When I had this problem a long time ago it was because the files were set up by the client. I told him he had to give me CMYK files, but, of course, he was working in RGB all the time. Results All the grays were in the 3 colors, Such as: 10% gray was actually 6% Cyan, Mag & Yellow. If your...

I didn't know that. but it never came up for me. I only had clients buy shutterstock or others images for use in a greeting card or a brochure. - Ron

Anything I put outside I try to coat with SEM 13003 vinyl clearcoat as it protects and has anti UV properties so it slows sun fade. But Canuck is right, Aluminum is best for this. You said "attach" your print? you may be better off printing direct onto the white coated aluminum, and then...

Basically their file is thumbnail crap. It only passes as an icon for a smart phone, It means either their original artist was told to make a web logo and it was made small to begin with or the client was too unknowlegeable to ask for the highest res version of it in case they need it in the...
