Avery and Universal have the same color chart...

That is what normally happens. But in this case, the surrounding color is still the original color--white. It's a Formula boat. They are always white, pure white. It's behind the letters which has darkened. That is what makes this unusual.

If they aren't in the character map you don't have them. Often this comes when you use free versions of fonts or ones packaged with software, rather than the expensive one direct from the foundry.

This is a photo a customer sent me. We are doing a new name for the boat and he took off the old name himself. It was black vinyl with a tan vinyl shadow. It had been on the boat for some time, but he doesn't know how long; it was the previous owner's name. He said he has removed all the...

Open the Character Map from Windows and select the font. Find the special character you want to use and look at the bottom edge of the app or the hover over popup to see its alt code. Then when you are in the text editor and it's time to use the special character, hold the alt key and use the...

I tried the ones that were recommended to me before. They only rout the ACP, not .080".

A while back I asked for a supplier of ACP custom routed sign blanks. Now I need one made from .080" aluminum, but the people I was referred to for the ACP don't do solid aluminum. Anybody know of a source? I would provide the file for the shape.

Looks kind of like Bookman Bold that's been squished.

The B is made from tacking a tail onto a B. Look at the bump where the tail joins on.

What kind of printer? We do posters on our Epson S70670 all the time and don't encounter problems like that. But we don't use Briteline poster paper. We use Intellicoat Gloss Photo.

We are running a maybe 6 month backlog. We lose some jobs because we can't get to them in time, though most customers just wait because nobody else can get to them. It's been this way for 2 years with no seasonal slowdown. At midyear, we were up 19% over last year on gross, but something like...

If you're doing just 2'x3', have them buy poster frames and just print paper posters to put in them. We do posters for a church that go in snap frames, and for hotel elevators that are drop-in frames. The frames are relatively pricey, but the posters are cheap. We get the frames from Testrite in...

There's always a mechanic's lien...

In this particular case, if the dance studio is your customer and that's the logo being requested, I would contact the dance studio and say that so and so wants their logo and you were wondering what that was about. Let them explain to you that they are jumping ship. Then drop your bomb about...

Are they temporary (for a week or so) or long term? Are there already cables there for hanging them?

I was just the installer. It's really not on me to figure it out, but the manufacturer asked me to Bondo it, which is why I created this thread--I've never heard of Bondoing a sign face. That said, the customer is someone I've done work for at their two previous locations. Why they didn't have...

It's 5'x8' two-sided. .063" aluminum faces flush bonded somehow to a 2" frame which runs the perimeter of the sign. I see no rivets; the face of the sign is completely smooth. The face is divided into two tenant panels which are only delineated by being on separate pieces of printed vinyl. It...

Also you're right about the sign not being cheap. I think they paid about twice what it would have been if it had been made locally. There was $240 in plywood and $72 in lumber to make the crate, not to mention the steel. And I'm sure a hefty shipping bill.
