  3. How would you install a sign this size?

    Here is a basic question. You said that the client wants foam letters but the picture looks like a shopping center. What does the landlord want? You need the landlords approval before proceeding. You might be spinning your wheels here. I have had clients that have told me what they want...

  7. DPI for banner

    If the JPG background was EVER saved with compression then the compression remnants will show up even if you now save the image with zero compression. Do not turn the banner into a JPG for printing. Save it as a PDF. As a PDF the vector parts of the banner will stay vectored and print the...
  8. images for Grand Format Printing

    Two-hundred dpi may seem nice but this is a banner. People will not be right up next to it. People you want reading your message will be 50-300 feet away. You could get by with 100 dpi or less and still look good. Do a test - take an image down to 72 dpi and crop out a piece 18x24 and print...

  11. Need Help selling files to competitor/customer

    OK so now is the time to be vicious. Forward on only copies of the files your originally received to make them re-do all your work. Make reasonable but low dpi bit maps out of all the vectored images. Change the PMS call outs to CMYK. And of course change some of the cmyk values - just...
  12. Need Help selling files to competitor/customer

    In the good old days when someone wanted a sign it was hand produced. There were no computers or files involved so when the client wanted the files there was nothing to give them. I am sure that everyone on the other side believes that the cost of the files was included in the price they paid...

    Is this a cut vinyl logo (with multiple colors) or a printed logo with a contour cut? Make three duplicates of the image. Calculate the overlap and cut through all the layers on each leaving only the items you want to print and cut. When done you will have three panels that, when put...
  14. Suggestions Foamboard install

    It's the paint. In the last few years chemicals have been added to some paint to make them child/graffiti resistant. As a result the surface resists double sided tape, including VHB. The only solution i have found is to sand the surface before application of the sign. You can usually tell...

  18. manhole cover sign?

    The cover is made of steel which you would have to drill. I like the wrap idea or use epoxy. In any case, after you clear up the court case and finish paying damages let us know how it all worked out. If your client is not the utility who owns the manhole cover then who is responsible for the...
  19. Trade only distributor selling to retail.

    AS TO THE DISTRIBUTORS - If they are openly selling items to civilians AT THE SAME PRICE as they sell to you then you should send a letter to the management of the company with your complaint. If they are selling at more of a retail price, like 2x wholesale, there is less of a complaint, but...
