"I'm re-doing a pylon sign for a landlord and they aren't working with me to get consent from their tenants to use their logos. Some of these tenants are big companies like Rite Aid and Dollar General. How do you normally handle this?" See how that is your actual question? The answer is to...

When you read this request, did you ever think to pick up the phone and call your customer and explain why using 7 gauge SS on the returns makes absolutely no sense? Find out what they want the end result to look like. Make the sign look like that using whatever materials necessary.

What's the purpose of the sign? Why do they want a sign with a bunch of "random" logos? Again, if someone else made this exact same post you'd jump all over them for not posting any details.

Because they need them to protect their company from the idiots and the morally corrupt. Your post seems purposely vague for an unknown reason. If someone else posted this exact thread, imagine your response.

This has to be the most boring conversation in the sign world. If you can't use google, common sense, and a general sense of right and wrong to figure it out, then I either question your IQ or your morality.

This. Gloss black is easier to find, but if you're like most shops, you have 2-3 main suppliers. I'd bet one of them carries matte black. Alumet for example does matte black and Dibond does as well. Not sure about any other brands.

Hit the aluminum with a steady stream of compressed air. It will clear the kerf and help keep the bit cooler. Cut down on reweld a huge amount. Also try this style bit: http://www.onsrud.com/product/Item/m/itemDetail.html?itemId=63-602 A little bit more expensive but huge difference in...

1. Talk to the guys in the shop. Learn about what materials you use for various projects. Learn why you use one material vs another. Learn your construction techniques. Learn what machines you have and what your capabilities are. 2. Talk to the sales manager/owner. Find out what they like...

https://www.printit4less.com/ I don't know if they're the best priced or the best quality but we've used them here for several years now doing a custom form and I have no real complaints.

There's always been an issue with the big guys vs the little guys. I think the biggest issue is the technology available to micro/small businesses. The tech solutions for a small business to compete are often too expensive. The tech developers seem to prefer to have 500 customers paying...

Unless you need to do special functions, for the most part, you don't need to know a lick of code to put together a website. It's been this way for years. MS FrontPage and Dreamweaver have made building a typical 5 page website possible without knowing pretty much any code. Obviously those...

There are official ones you can get on WordPress's site. I believe they are called Themes. Otherwise I've purchased one or two from: https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress. It's often recommended to go with a popular one as it's likely to be relatively bug free.

To comment on this, I don't trust sales people anymore. Every once in a while you get someone sharp but most of the time they are just glorified order takers with enough knowledge not to get thrown out of most shops. I can't tell you how many times I've been lead astray by a sales rep. Too many.

WordPress is likely the most popular one. For about $100 you can buy a "custom" template and then it's more or less filling in the blanks.

Simply put, you're cheaping out on the material. http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/showthread.php?14856-Not-HDU-Again-quot-CRACK-quot That should tell enough of the story.

Neither do I but I have a cheap copy I use strictly for opening up files from certain customers so I can convert them to AI or EPS.

Open it in CorelDraw. It will make it a bunch of layers. Then save that and try bringing it into Flexi. I don't use Flexi but I did this for a project a month or so back and it worked for my purpose.

Raspberry Pi + HDMI Cable + HDTV should cover everything. https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/3asha3/using_raspberry_pi_as_a_menu_board/

The post screamed of someone that worked in graphics/printing at different shops but never actually looked into what's involved in running the department. Throwing a list of expensive toys out and saying he wants to print on everything under the sun showed a certain naivety that rubbed people...
