  1. Customers are so ignorant...

    NOOOOOOO! Let him get the faces cut down himself. If you're not making any profit from marking up the cost of the faces you're not leaving yourself and room to replace the panels when they crack while you're trying to cut them. If he wants to bring you faces let him deal with getting them cut...

  4. John Don't Go!

    :thumb::Big Laugh Can we add that post to the Hall of Fame forum?
  5. John Don't Go!

    Not sure what's going on or what happened. I'll just throw in that John can be a little brash sometimes, but he can also be brutally honest too. He offers a lot more help behind the scenes than he does publicly and he's pretty damn good at it.
  6. Where else do you go?

    Now I don't feel so bad for taking pictures of packages every time I'm in Trader Joe's.
  7. Hand Painted to Vinyl Cut

    IDEAL Starting with Magneto Bold you can modify to match in minutes. CABINETS Eurostile, Metrostyle, Dodger REST OF COPY Helvetica Medium Condensed Shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes to modify fonts and recreate the art you uploaded almost exactly.
  8. Material Cutting

    Have the roll drop shipped to here http://rollslitting.com/ then just have them ship the two halves to you.
  9. A friend's/customer's experience with buying a sign franchise.

    I did some serious research into converting my shop to a franchise and FastSigns was FAR AND AWAY the only choice. I talked to three shop owners by just randomly googling phone numbers (instead of using selected owner numbers FastSigns provided) and each one was bonkers happy about the...
  10. Need to recreate this in a high resolution version

    Maybe I'm just a dumbass. :thumb:
  11. Need to recreate this in a high resolution version

    Maybe I'm figuring this wrong but if you use the download file from the pichost site (not the screen shot, the file http://p1.pichost.me/i/37/1604525.jpg?dl=1 ) the resolution comes out at 72 dpi. Not perfect but pretty acceptable for a giant wall graphic. I could be wrong (I'm probably wrong)...
  12. Huge help needed to get print work done that we can clear coat in...

    So....you either sell to 99% of potential customers or you sell to 1% of potential customers, your call.
  13. Family Party Design / Banner

    Nice clip art selections.....absolutely atrocious font selections, kerning, and sizing. and pdf files are annoying.
  14. Mounting to smooth granite outside

    Agreeing on the VHB. Don't use silicone.
  15. Artwork theft and showing your portfolio on other sites

    The pros of posting there or here is that you get reviewed by talented professionals. The con is that you also get reviewed by talentless people who just jump on the prevailing bandwagon. Rarely do you see an actual intelligent opinion or discussion that results in improving your design or...
  16. Today I sold out my design morals for a hunk of cash.

    The most successful sign person I've ever met once told me that you can do outstanding, talented, beautiful design work and make a good living. You can do average work and get rich.
  17. Getting deep rich blacks with HPL26500

    No, it's an error in the operator who gets overly defensive whenever anything is questioned. Job got rejected....again....because the black wasn't black. I fixed it using 65-65-65-100 which made a nice, rich, black....of course I'm still wrong because now "it's oversaturated." I'm really...
  18. Getting deep rich blacks with HPL26500

    Heck if I know. I've tried 100% K, and a composite one that is 35% C, 45% M, 15% Y, and 100% K that gives me a dark, dark taupe color. Dealing with color....and the ballistic reactions of the person I have to let set up my printing, is almost enough to make me want to quit and go back into...
  19. Getting deep rich blacks with HPL26500

    Okay, apparently I'm going to have to teach myself how to run the stupid printer and stay late so i can do all my printing myself since nobody seems to give a **** about color density but me....and my customer who has refused a job twice now. I tried selecting colors using the profiles for...
  20. Scripts are so hard to find....
