    It does that because of the compound curve, the same way windshield lettering turns into a frown unless you adjust it during installation. For this one, I'd install the two words separately and adjust the lower line so it looks straight. This involve partially cutting between the letters and...

    PixelMolla, As far as my language in saying "you downloaded", please understand my goal is to use fewer words. I am not assigning blame. Whether it was a technician or your employee who downloaded the bad profiles doesn't matter. The fact is they were downloaded and they were the problem you...

    The latest version of this I got was asking for BLM banners

    Primary font for headlines and subheads is Typold, in various weights and regular/extended/condensed. Body Copy is Oakes and Oakes Bold. Numbers, taglines, legal are in Barlow Semi Condensed Regular and Medium. These and the C21 Masterbrand Guidelines pdf file and C21 Signage Guidelines pdf...
  5. Need to approve my application method?

    Why don't you ask them what they mean by that question? Usually a question like that is loaded because they are concerned about some particular thing and want to make sure you don't do it. Like, they don't want the lettering painted on the tenant face that they would like to be reusable for...
  6. Discussion Not exactly logo......................................

    Gino, your sign doesn't even come close to the corporate guidelines for signage. It's not black they require. It's a dark gray. Helvetica isn't one of the font choices. The font you used for informational copy isn't either. The use of the logo and wordmark isn't correct. Here are some examples...
  7. Chance for me to help a friend. FOnt ID. 5 or 6 different

    If you think those are not Helvetica, then you need to get better scans of them. Waves hand: Helvetica will do fine.
  8. Mimaki UCJV300-160 - Problem Printing Red

    Why don't most here recommend Caldera? Probably because it's a French company and Onyx is American. And most users of this forum are in the US or Canada. Since both are full-featured RIP software, rather than decontented software bundled with the printer, either one should vastly outperform...
  9. Chance for me to help a friend. FOnt ID. 5 or 6 different

    Federal Mogul is a logo and is available at brandsoftheworld.com The font used is Eurostile Bold Extended (Microgramma Bold Extended). Most of the other text is Helvetica (Swiss 721) in various weights. 7 STEPS is Eurostile Bold that's been stretched slightly. Other than the logo, I'm not sure...
  10. More aluminum tariffs??

    Yeah, well, it's unlikely for the tariff to have brought back the jobs if 18 other countries just trans-shipped the tariffed materials and China was still supplying all the material that way without the tariff being applied.
  11. Installation on glass covered facade?

    But would a bonding method work for a 4'x16' sign as they want, or only for individual cutout letters?Seems like it would take a lot of adhesive to put up a sign like that securely, and could you wire-saw a 4'x8' off the wall later?
  12. More aluminum tariffs??

    The price has not fluctuated. In 6 years it's gone up a smidge.
  13. S40600 Ink running Issue, watery stains

    I don't see anything that looks like an ink drip in your photos. When you have ink drips, it's almost always due to a piece of fuzz or lint that is stuck to the print head or something just around the print head, and it catches the ink mist as the head moves side to side. Eventually enough ink...
  14. Installation on glass covered facade?

    Well, in this area average life for a business like the one going in there would be 2 years. And chances are I'll get called to change the sign when something else goes in. Now that the building is refurbished and usable again. Though they were dealing with a sudden underground plumbing leak...
  15. Installation on glass covered facade?

    Possibly, but what I was wanting to do was something that doesn't make it harder for the next tenant. If I stuck it up with a bunch of Lexel and VHB, that would be a mess. That and the sign being right over a sidewalk. Granted, the awning would slow the sign falling...
  16. Installation on glass covered facade?

    Another day another weird installation. New store moving into an old building, long disused. It was originally a 19th century/turn of century brick building, that some time after the lake was dammed in 1930 was refurbished with the then-modern black architectural glass that is stuck to the...
  17. More aluminum tariffs??

    I saw a more detailed article saying the main issue they were dealing with was that China has been getting around the tariffs on them by trans-shipping through those other 18 countries; those countries don't actually produce the aluminum.
  18. Need Help Help Installing Dreamscapes Wallpaper

    Dreamscapes can be hung by any wallpaper hanger. It's done the same as any commercial grade vinyl wallpaper.
  19. Looking for bolt caps

    Thanks! Those are exactly what I am looking for.
  20. Looking for bolt caps

    We're doing a sign at a mall in a space that used to be a GNC store. The cabinet is shallow, it has LEDs inside, and the outside has fluorescent lights all around the edge. They're small tubes, relatively short and they just have them lined up around the outside. There is not face on the sign...
