  1. script bold font

    Still not a font. Check the 'e's, the 'f's, and the 't's. The 'f's and the 't's are acutely different, not so much for the 'e's but they also are different.
  2. script bold font

    Hand lettered. And rather poorly.
  3. HELP

    There's no standard for handling bitmaps, especially transparencies, and gradients. Each proprietary package deals with them differently. Pair this with each proprietary package importing and unpacking them differently and there you are. Generally a PDF is safe but EPS and AI can be problematic...
  4. Almost over...

    It goes but it doesn't go round and round, it meanders here and there, and it never stops. Such is the nature of transcendental numbers.
  5. Almost over...

    It's never over. It just keeps on going.
  6. 14oz banner crinkling on print?

    Are letting the media pull off the roll or are you manually unwinding it? Some rolls of Ultraflex tend to be a bit sticky on the roll and the first instinct is to unroll it manually. Fine, but after you unroll it, roll it back and let the printer pull from the roll. If you let it feed unrolled...
  7. vj1204 heaters

    Invest ~$10.00 in an infrared thermometer. Point it at the platen in various places. It will tell you what the temperature actually is. Better than a laying on of hands that, at most, will tell you that it's warmer than ambient.
  8. Eco Sol Max Black Ink Scratching

    Clear coat it.
  9. Printing and cutting colored vinyl

    Use 4 point manual bomb sight marks and register each corner manually. Beats the hell out of trying to accurately overlay the original printed automatic marks with vinyl, masking tape, sheetrock, or whatever.
  10. Cost per running meter

    If it's a material you normally have on hand then by the square whatever. If it's something you have to get then the whole sheet.
  11. Price of zinc washers too high?

    Shrug. The bottle cap is interesting. Probably the only thing laying around that would do. People use pennies all the time. Especially handy for for shooting anchors into concrete. They are, alter all, a zinc alloy with a copper plating. If the cost of an actual washer is more than a cent, use...
  12. Pinstriping?

    I ordered a new custom saddle a couple of weeks ago from a good friend and saddle maker. He wanted to know if I wanted any carving on the leather. Not stamping, that's what you get when you buy something off the shelf. I thought some and decided I didn't want any sort for traditional oak leaf or...
  13. Grommet machine

    Most all grommet machines function identically. Anvil on the bottom, die on the top, push them together deforming the grommet around the reeve. Hard to get a lot of variation here. The one area in which quality is a concern is the level of precision in machining the die. The grommet must slip on...
  14. Tariff on Sign Blanks?

    You do understand that bankruptcy, among other things, provides a method for restructuring debt. That the purpose is not to stiff anyone, rather distribute what assets there are on a pro rata basis. No one said "Let's hose Forest Jenkins and take the money and run.". There was no money with...
  15. Tariff on Sign Blanks?

    Thousands eh? Can you name a few or is this something you heard on CNN? If there's thousands you ought to be able to come up with a few names and details without undo stress to your demonstrated diminutive cognitive tackle. Emptying your adjective bucket notwithstanding, rack up 10 billion...
  16. Tariff on Sign Blanks?

    This from perhaps the only one in these waters with a clue. Tariffs are but an opening gambit in a chess game. Most likely with the renegotiation of NAFTA as the ultimate objective. Maybe some other goal but still just the first move. There seem to be many shoveling on this sand pile who regard...
  17. To use the www or not?

    Since it can't be anything else but www [world wide web] it's unnecessary. Browsers don't need it. There might be a handful of people on the planet who don't know that .something is a web reference and @something is an email address, probably because they can't read. The www is gratuitous. Just...
  18. Service contract renewal-Yay or Nay?

    Service contracts are seldom, if ever, a good deal. If yours is priced at $160 per month then HP is betting that you won't do $160 per month worth of violence to your machine. Just so you know way back in the day I worked for HP for many years and at one time was directly involved in designing...
  19. Who do you use for Promotional Products

    Sex and drug paraphernalia are always a hit. Nothing sells signs quite like a dildo with your company name name on it. Or a bong sporting your logo. Beats the hell out of a cheap ballpoint or something equally boring. As to where to get these quality products and others like them, I'm sure...
  20. Awful wrap.

    Other than wrapping over the badges, which may or may not be by design, and a lot of wear and tear, this wrap has been on for some time, what's wrong with it?
