  2. A first for us... Protest signs

    Here is the update. The signs were a big hit. Remember, this is in support of the Police Chief who is battling with the city manager and city council over a labor action against the Chief. A fair number of citizens are supporting the Chief as well as at least 1 council member. The signs were...
  3. A first for us... Protest signs

    Normally protestors are seen with hand made signs. We got a call to make some handheld coro signs for a protest against the city council taking a job action against the Police Chief. Go figure. It was simple and easy to do and I saw them on multiple videos posted to facebook. 14x23 Thin Blue...
  4. Discussion What's the most common design mistake you see made in sign design?

    Bad signs have some or all of those 'qualities'. Mostly though, if I am driving by at 35/45/55 etc. and I can't read it at a glance it didn't do its job. What is the general rule? 1" in height per 100 feet on a clear day? Less is more for street signs.
  5. FB always makes me chuckle

    I use a centerpoint ruler. Problem solved.
  6. Where Does All the Coroplast Go?

    Here is the book on recycling. Steel and other metals are still recycled because they have value and the process is much cleaner than starting from scratch. All steel made in the United States is recycled. Steel never wears out and can be recycled indefinitely. Everything else, pretty much...

  8. Can I print/cut floor graphics with my VersaCamm?

    I have a 30" VersaCamm VS-300 using Eco-Sol Max inks. We are picking up more work for for Covid related stuff and one of those things is floor graphics, indoor and outdoor. I have never done this though. Can I print and cut this with what I have in house and what materials/media should I be...
  9. Rant What is going on with FedEx?

    Around here deliveries to commercial and retail locations were not being done because of stay at home orders. Maybe adding delivery instructions such as 'We are open. Please delivery as you normally would.' will help.
  10. Crop marks not printing

    We have ours set at 0.25. The cut line is inside the image, We are bleeding it to account for variations in application as we are applying to coro and cutting by hand.
  11. Crop marks not printing

    Yeah, I will try that. In the meantime I have a separate set of prints that I started and the marks are printing. I am thinking I must have changed something by accident.
  12. Crop marks not printing

    I have been printing with the Versacamm with no problem with crop marks that I have in my design. Then one day it stopped printing them. Basically a 0.5pt line in the design. It is in the eps file I send to Versaworks but it just doesn't print. Any thoughts on what I might have done to have...
  13. What's worse than covid-19? Customers not paying.

    Given that the courts are closed this won't work but what we have done in the past is Small Claims. In California once you have a judgement you can attach property and force the sale or if it is a business you can to a 'till drop' where the Sheriff goes in and just takes cash. You can also force...
  14. Advertisement and exposure for fairly new biz

    Nothing beats cold calling. In just a couple of weeks of COVID we reinvented our business and have just as much work now as we had when everything crashed. Having said that, have you read any books on sales? Do you have any training in sales? Try talking to this guy, he seems pretty good...
  15. Need Help Sticker print and cut

    We added a 1 hour dry time before cutting and had not problem with full bleed. More time couldn't hurt though. Up to 24 hours.
  16. Wilcom Embroidery Font

    When we first got into embroidery we were supplied Wings Experience from Mesa. We have the pro version now but not the latest version. I would have preferred Wilcom but now the price is just too much since I have spent over 10 years in this one. That is what I am doing, tracing the letters I...
