  1. How to Determine Pole Depth of Pre-Existing Pylon Sign

    Actually Rick, I've installed several pylon sizes from small ones, to 50 feet tall ones. You can clearly see that the grass area is not wide enough to support a sign that size, the footer would not be under the parking lot or curbing. If the footer was 12' deep, that is another story, but we...

  4. Artwork release

    Case by case is how I go. A long time customer last week asked for his logo to be sent to another sign shop (I am great friends with that shop) because they were donating a banner. So I said sure no problem. This customer is always going to use me, so no issues. If I have a really pissed off...

  6. Emails continually get bounced back from one customer

    I believe it's on their side. I know certain companies can email out, but often cannot receive. Sometimes insurance companies, often they go to spam or get caught in a filter.

So I thought, Hey I could get better use out of my inks and get a richer color and darker blacks. So I changed it to 100%/100%/100%/100%. Let me tell you, a month later I used 3X...

  10. Don't waste time with high quality

    The first few years as a sign maker, I always printed my graphics at 1440 X 1440 and even 720X1440. I always thought I would be better than the average sign shop and produce better quality signs. Years later I learned that the customer doesn't give a crap what quality is it. A banner is a...

  13. Composer Vs. Illustrator

    I started on composer myself. I still have a copy. It is superior on certain things and makes things easier. I've always disliked AI and only use Corel. But composer still to this day has it's place.
