Thanks for the reply. My plastic vendor suggested ACR White 7328 Seems they are on same page so I appreciate it. Wouldn't clear make it to easy to see the bulbs or not diffuse it enough?

How about the artwork, are you printing cmyk or rgb? Also, have you tried other grays on other files/images? I have found that if I desaturate certain grays in photoshop or illustrator and then print as rgb it tends to get much closer to a neutral gray. Also, are you using custom profiles or...

The main barrier to online signs is the design aspect. Commercial customers with marketing personnel can deal with artwork, and then perhaps order online, but usually want to speak with someone about specifics. Consumer customers ordering something for a bedroom is not our market so we would not...

It is a backlit printed decal. On a translucent material

I have a customer that needs a new panel put in their lightbox. They can't tell me if it was clear or white before. So my question is since I don't do a lot of these, if I buy a new piece for their box is it best to get the white panels that allow light to come through so it is diffused, or...

Also hands down the best advice in this thread so far has been: Doing our own logo and design becomes too personal. Yes we should have input but really unless logo design is our expertise we should only play a support role. Let it go, be happy and excited, and love your new creation when it...

Hi you seem to like retro and super hero. If you want to change your world and grow your long held company it's a simple decision. Call Dan Antonelli at Kick Charge and tell his team what you're trying to do. Let them run with it. Yes you will need to save some money to budget with them, BUT...

Btw do you have a site?

Lots has changed from a few years ago on here. I'm just getting back to full time work again so I am not up on what's allowed or not at this time. Thanks for the info. It was just the idea that I think a link from the forum is why I wrote the article is silliness. You didn't insinuate that but...

I respect all views. I don't care for corporations myself including google. However I make my living by being found mostly on Google. I was able to do that by myself, so I spent time working on it. On average I get from 300k to 1million worth of quotes a year from just ranking well and have a...

I don't have an editor at this time. Hopefully they would have caught that mistake. Oversea, yikes. I enjoy writing, so I write. I did edit it of course over and over but stuff slips by I suppose. For someone currently working or struggling to understand websites for their small business this...

My website is already top ranked. I don't need a link from signs101. I could have made a huge long post just as well. Some people are just cynical. I've helped several companies for free on this site and never asked for a dime. I've sponsored this site before as well. So get over yourself.

I think as long as people are respectful this conversation and topic is beneficial. It's a topic that evolves as technologies change. Everyone makes decent points. All I'll add is two things. One I know people that try to follow the law exactly. So, if it's illegal to print unauthorized...

In all honestly it's hard to gauge how many Sign shops are going it alone or hiring out. Thoughts?

Well I have tried sales people and not had the best of luck. I decided to focus on Google ranking and that seems to have paid off well for us. I re-positioned our image to look more high end, and like others I tend to avoid smaller more price focused jobs so I have more time for better paying...

Hi, so I've spent a ton of time since my spine broke studying efforts online to drive business through our company websites. I find the topic can be so complicated for busy Sign Owners that an article of the top topics would be helpful and might help start conversations to educate each other. I...

Rick in this case the one you found are Styrene, and the job is spec'd for aluminum. The project manager for the company said he doesn't care because no one comes and checks, as long as it looks the same. So I'm gonna go for it with that product. Thank you for the advice, I will definitely...

Rick, also how did you find this? What terms did you search? Just curious. It is amazing how changing a word or two brings up different results.

Ah hah, I didn't catch that. I will give them a call. A big page opened up and said their phones are down or something like that, but this might be perfect. Another question, or rather get your opinion. I noticed this job is spec for PPG brand paint to match 158c pantone. Do you think it...

Rick wherenis this one from? I might just go with 2" and center justify which will leave 1/16 top and bottom. Should be fine right? Ha ha
