  1. Need help with font ID

    Didn't realise you were matching other signage. You asked for an alternative in the first post.
  2. Signs of Obvious Trademark Infrengment

    Maybe post the trademark with it for those of us that have never heard of Sleep Inn. https://www.choicehotels.com/sleep-inn
  3. What's proper etiquette if a prospect sends you a competitor's proof for pricing?

    As far as the law is concerned, the collaborative design process you're describing breaks down into two parts: ideas and drawings. Ideas can't be copyrighted, but drawings can. It doesn't matter who has the ideas. Whoever makes the drawings owns the copyright. Morally speaking, it doesn't seem...
  4. response to customer for not printing trademarked property

    "That design is trademarked (or copyrighted) by [famous company name]. We can print it, but you'll need to get permission from them. If it's for a small/personal project, they probably won't give you the time of day, and if it's a bigger project, they'll probably want you to pay a licensing...
  5. What's proper etiquette if a prospect sends you a competitor's proof for pricing?

    The steps for copyright and patent protection are completely different. To get a patent, you have to go through an application process via your country's patent office. Copyright protection applies to your drawing/poem/song/photograph the moment you draw it, write it down, record it, or press...

  7. Font ID Help

    I don't think it's a font. I found a higher-res image of the logo, cleaned it up and ran it through FindMyFont and found nothing. My guess is it was drawn custom by the logo designer. Your best bet is probably to go here and scroll until you find something similar...
  8. Software Help Blowing Up Images in Photoshop

    Yeah, forgot to mention that. It does the AI work on your computer, not a remote server, and it takes a fair bit of computing power. When I run smaller images through it, they usually take a few minutes or less. Larger images sometimes take 20–30 minutes each, and it hogs enough of your CPU that...
  9. Need help with font ID

    That's either a really poorly designed typeface, or the numbers are from more than one typeface. I would replace it with something well designed that has a similar style and skeleton to the numbers, like Century or Cochin.
  10. Software Help Blowing Up Images in Photoshop

    Topaz Gigapixel is the new AI tool mentioned by Solventinkjet. It does what was previously impossible, which is, enlarging an image and adding new detail that wasn't there to begin with. Essentially how it works is, the AI looks at all the different objects and textures in the image, and then...

  12. Flames vinyl

    You mean just vinyl with flames printed on it? You could try Firesprint, a merchant member here: https://www.firesprint.com/wrap-vinyl/
  13. Signlab Changes Colors

    The colour changes on your screen? Or the printed colour changes? If it changes on your screen, I would suggest opening a support ticket or bug report with SignLab so they can fix the problem. If it changes the printed colour, it's because Versaworks processes vectors and raster separately, so...
  14. Thick lines in Illustrator are wire thin in Flexi

    And for the love of ****, don't EVER design a logo with strokes in it. They should always be expanded into paths.
  15. Need Help Do you loose quality when scaling raster image in Illustrator

    Scaling it 20x in your RIP will change the resolution from 2000ppi back to 100ppi. It should be no different from scaling back up 20x before loading into your RIP, unless the people who designed your RIP software are complete idiots.

    Here's where to buy it, if you still need it. https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/paratype/dom-casual/
  17. What Is The Monthly Software Rental Fee Total If You Rent Like A Drunken Sailor?

    Corebridge $188 Adobe CC = $59.35/mo Monotype Library = $10/mo Google G Suite = $5/user (email and cloud storage) Versaworks = no subscription, updates have always been free Google Remote Desktop = free (instead of TeamViewer) Google Docs = free (instead of MS Office) I think that's it.
  18. When to give price breaks?

    Keep it simple. I just explain that it's more efficient for us to print higher quantities at the same time. So more quantity = lower unit price and vice versa. You don't need to explain why higher quantities are more efficient to most people. It's common sense. But if you do need to explain, I...
  19. Wanted 10 oz double sided mesh banners

    I've never heard of a double-sided print on mesh, but I would assume the image would bleed through significantly. You wouldn't want to design anything with a white background, probably.
  20. Need font help

    That's a hand painted sign, not a font. It looks kinda similar to Hobo, though.
