Best of luck, then. If you need any more help, post the original sample you were given, before anything was edited. No crops, no autotracing, no resizing, no contrast enhancement, nothing. If you don't post the original sample, you are wasting the time of those who are trying to help you.

There are infinite ways to draw every letter of the alphabet. Anyway, Corpid is indeed the correct answer. It's a large family, so check the other styles for a better match. The sample you gave has been distorted or poorly redrawn, so the real Corpid will not be a 100% perfect match to your...

What is aeit? Are there more letters you aren't showing us?

Does Uline do custom sizes? I would have thought Uline would have something that fits, since they sell Signicade Deluxe a-frames. Might be worth calling your Uline rep.

We use Avery 2900 series for indoor floor decals, laminated with 2080 or 1360 (both are slip-resistant but I think only the latter is recommended for floor graphics in Avery's latest product selection guide). For outdoors, you usually have rougher surfaces to conform to, so we use alumigraphics...

WeTransfer seems to be really popular with marketing agencies – they always use it to send us artwork.

There's nothing difficult about setting this up if you know Illustrator really well, but here's a quick tutorial. This generally takes <5 min to set up. Put the artwork into a rectangular clipping mask and note the width and height for steps 2 and 3. Step and repeat the design by applying...

Here in British Columbia, if you provide goods and/or services to essential businesses, then you are an essential business. Of course, the shutdown orders are different for every province here, like they are for every state in the US.

If Photoshop is behaving oddly or not behaving like it used to, you can try resetting the preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/photoshop/using/preferences.html

Scientists, journalists and doctors tend to get the facts right a hell of a lot more often than conspiracy theorist nutjobs.

Have you read the list of essential businesses in your area? All the lists I've seen make provisions for businesses that support essential businesses to remain open. So if your clients include essential businesses like restaurants, clinics or pharmacies, then you might be OK to remain open.

I do design, pre-press and a bit of sales at my shop. All easy to do from home, and I was already WFH two days a week before this all started. NAS (network attached storage) – we have a QNAP device on our office network that stores all our files and mirrors on two large drives for redundancy...

Haven't been using my car much since last week! Just last week before the shit hit the fan, our neighbours gave us a bunch of boxes of latex gloves that they didn't need and had been in their shop for years. Very random but I bet they're regretting it now :)

That's not true, unless you're running as a subdomain like yoursigncompany.squarespace.com instead of yoursigncompany.com. Hardly anyone does the former, and most do the latter. As long as you're using your own domain, Google doesn't care whose servers you're running on, except as it relates to...

You can get a site up and running easily with Wordpress, but customizing it is always going to be painful because there are too many options for themes and plugins. If you're planning to do it all yourself, I would 100x recommend Squarespace or Wix over Wordpress. Squarespace and Wix do a far...

We always pull the cartridge out, give it a shake, put it back in, and then continue printing. Usually works for at least a few more minutes.

Not sure, but you could probably work out a way to do it in two separate fixups that you run one after the other. Also, not related, but try making a Droplet, which essentially generates an executable file that you can drop PDF files onto in Windows Explorer to automatically process them in...

If you're embedding files rather than linking them in Illustrator, you're doing it wrong. Have you forgotten your original post? Embedding instead of linking is exactly how you get the enormous files you were complaining about at the start of the thread. That, and PDF data, which embeds extra...

I taught myself by simply playing around with it – the Preflight tools look more intimidating than they really are. There are a ton of built-in Checks and Fixups that you can duplicate and edit to learn how they work.
