I've used the USB to LAN adapters. Even the $20 ones handle 1gb, they're economical, easy, plug & play... Not really a downside to em'.

If you don't have an external drive to move files onto to get extra space, there are plenty of cloud services that have free accounts you could use to temporarily move files to until you're back up and running. Even if you have to sign up for a couple of them, it should give you enough storage...

When it comes to pre-mask some just work better than others with different scenarios, they're not all created equal. We use Rtape for most stuff, but have to stock Transfer Rite pre-mask for one client, it's the only one we've found that works with the vinyl/ lam specs for decals we provide for...

I have a side hustle, came into this job with it, and it's perfect. When I retired I started doing ad designs for newspapers, publications, magazines for something to do... Stuff the shop doesn't do anyway. Works out great, anytime one of my clients needs signage or graphics I refer them to the...

A lot depends on where you're at. Every jurisdiction has their own regulations, and in some even throwing your spent ink cartridges in the dumpster is a no-no. Here it's legal to dispose of inks, paints, etc, as long as they're a solid, whether you pour them into kitty litter, or onto cardboard...

You're one of the lucky ones. For every success story, there are just as many, if not more failures like the experience I had. The issue is you're gambling on what you're getting. It's the same with vinyls, or anything else, there are hundreds of different sellers on these Chinese sites with...

If they're genuine, I liken it to buying from batches that didn't pass QC, that someone ran out the back door with and is selling. If they're knock-offs, there's always something not to spec, different, cheaper materials used to cut cost. It's a crap-shoot, you might get good ones, most likely...

Stacy, I used to do window graphics for Element Mobile stores when they were still around, they changed them every holiday for different sales. I'd be out all over central Wisco in -20 temps hanging perf. It'll stick in our current temps, but might be a little stiff. I used to use a salamander...

Every place on line sells em' in only a few standard sizes, and printed. We need alternate sizes with different verbiage for different locations... The usual PITA requests. So I figured there has to be someone on here who does acrylic bending, and I'll just letter or decal them.

Thank you! I will do that on Monday... Done for the week for Thanksgiving.

Anyone here make these, or know of a vendor for blank ones? Looking for blank triangle wall signs like this in various sizes (tbd yet) that will be getting custom artwork for the facility. They don't have to be acrylic, but preferred. Need about 25 of them in at least two sizes.

I almost have too much to do, but when I get done here today I'm outa' here till Monday, yaayyy! Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

Crazy busy. Our poor installers have been into overtime by early Thursday for months, and still have a massive backlog. And we have a couple of big annual jobs coming up. I'm not sure when we'll be caught up.

I've been using it for several years, trust me... It's worth it. We're down to having to pay only one single license for Illustrator, and it's more for plugin support for equipment than designing. Still used it occasionally for things that were easier than Affinity, but they just added most of...

I haven't found a way to constrain or snap in the warp yet either, something that should be added. I never even looked to see what was new, just started using it. So far everything is smooth as silk. Besides the stuff you mentioned there's an x-ray view in the view menu, like the outline but...

Haven't played with all of them yet, 99% of what I do is vector... Designer has a lot of new features and improvements like shape builder, vector mesh warp, you can duplicate styles, gradients across different elements... And they FINALLY made it easy to make things like strokes scale with...

That sucks, and usually the kind of luck I have... I've been using it for a couple years, got em' on a half price sale of $25 each when I first got them, so I definitely got my money's worth. That new universal license is $99 till it goes off sale, gets you all 3 programs for all platforms, plus...

Affinity released version 2.0. Unfortunately you have to purchase the new version, but It's on sale. Now they have a universal license that lets you download all programs for Win & Mac, and iPad for one price, still subscription free, still decent price in my book. From the little bit I've...

Doubtful any of us will come out winners... So I guess that sticker is our participation trophy.
