Whoever uttered this is an idiot and no doubt a legend in its own mind. First there is function from which follows form which is dictated solely by function. All else is affected nonsense. All else. This is a noteworthy quote not because it displays any sort of pithy** wisdom but rather because...

dictionary [dick-shun-airy] noun 1. A compendium of descriptions of word usage. A dictionary is descriptive not definitive. Moreover it doesn't describe words, it describes word usage. Using a dictionary entry in an argument about the definition of something is fallacious. There is only one...

Rather it's imprecision, no one designs signs. No one no how. 'Sign writer' may be a bit archaic but brushes or computer, the process is the same. Bridges are designed, machinery is designed, software is designed, even type faces are designed. Signs are not.

The old original term was 'sign writer'. Even in a completely digital environment this is a far more apt description than 'sign designer', an affectation if thee ever was one. As I think back most every time some client asked if I could design something for them I always replied "I can lay out...

The point, which appears to scamper right past you, is that signs are not designed. It's rather a different, perhaps even similar but still different, process. It's not something that you pick up at 'design school' or 'engineering drawing school', whatever that might be. I've spent more that the...

I took the spool and axle from the take up mechanism on my VJ1204, slapped together a stand out of a couple of 2x4's and scrap aluminum laminate, added casters, and a mini-bungie stretched over the exposed end of the axle for tension. The spool stands as high as the bottom of the printer. I...

That's the ghastly script that's on every artsy object at Hobby Lobby, Michael's, etc. The 'M' has been diddled and the heart added.

A couple of things... The "Wichita Falls" type face is ghastly. Looks like it was finger painted by a pre-schooler. Select something that looks like it was done by an actual sign writer. If you're going to use a star then use a star, not the bloated version you have currently. Probably half...

I've printed on Avery ultra metallic with eco-solvent. Many times. Works great. There isn't much, if any, vinyl you can't print on with any sort of solvent.

You also can rent a skid steer with a t post driver. It will drive a t post through most anything the post is capable of penetrating.

Bubbles are a product of bad application technique. Most often the result of letting the vinyl contact the substrate without being put there by the squeegee. The quality of the vinyl, the timing of removing the mask, or the state of the tides are not factors.

You need to develop at least a rudimentary sense of scale. There's a whole hell of a lot of difference between dumping a few million cubic yards of whatever in one spot and me pouring a couple of ounces of waste ink along my fence line. Moreover some materials are a damn sight more hazardous...

As the blind pigs finds the odd truffle, you, sir or madam as the case may be, are correct about one item in your rant. My lack of care is, in fact, total. On all other points you not only are in error, utterly, but you are tedious and that is unforgivable.

Any particular law or just illegal in general? Maybe some edict or another in your village? Does it carry the death penalty? Life without parole? What? It's a pretty pi$$ poor civilization that stands to be destroyed by me or anyone else or everyone for that matter dumping some waste ink...

Just toss it out somewhere. You're not going to destroy civilization. History will proceed totally unaffected regardless of what you do with it.

Anyone who styles themselves a 'sign designer' is somewhere on a scale between presumptuous and a pompous a$$. Probably one who scored 'D's in school. I sometimes use the same doctor as Mssr. Best and sometimes his colleague, Tommy the Tuba.

Dicks are like madonnas, they're an amorphous shape that can be projected onto most any sufficiently vague image. Seeing a johnson in something or another is no different than seeing jesus or whatever god in a slice of Swiss cheese.

Your defense is the 1st amendment. Freedom of speech is freedom from speech.If you have the right to say anything then that very same right says that you have the right to say nothing. Either with your mouth or with your vehicle. I'd give good odds that this village's provincial edicts have...

Are you a contractor or a merchant? If the former then have at it with the w9's. As for myself, I'm a merchant and I don't do W9's. Ever. Under any circumstances. If some customer or another insists that I do so before they pay me, I explain that I'm not is a 1099 relationship with them and...
