Sintra is "rated" for outdoor use too, although not in color and less than 6mm is not recommended...

I wonder why he didn't go with the other sign companies who came up with the idea but instead chose the guy who tried to talk him out of it. That seems weird. I'm not familiar with foamex, is it like sintra? basically PVC? I don't know about foamex, but there are some things to look out for...

There is only a cheap option that is destined to fail in a short amount of time, if you provide a cheap option that is destined to fail in a short amount of time. We would have turned down the job if they can't afford to have it done right, because if a sign fails early, even if you warned...

Oooops, for a second I thought the thread was called "guilding" not "gliding" so I poked my head in to see what was going on. (damn you dyslexia) LOL. No but in all seriousness, it may sound cliche but I feel like it helps to count ones blessings every chance you get. After reading your post...

I tell them that every element on a sign is essentially competing for attention. Those elements not only compete with other signs, but with other elements within that same sign. The more content that is on a sign, the less impact each of those elements have. So they have two choices: Fill up a...

That's really nice. :thumb: I like how it follows the body lines.

John you need switch over to jenkem. LOL all the kids are doing it these days.

Yeah no problem getting stuff from Fellers. LOL Really we have no problem getting Oracal. That's not the issue at all. It's just that a distributor wants us to buy materials from them, but they don't have the brand we like. Long story short, they want to sell us a few different brands, and we...

Yeah but at a certain point it won't matter how different the margin is when enough of an industry prefers one brand over another. I'm sure that point hasn't been reached yet though, and that is most likely why they won't provide it. That being said, at the same time we aren't obligated to use...

We used to use N. Glantz almost exclusively when they were one of a few distributors that would actually deliver to us. Now for whatever reason they don't come our way anymore.

We just got off the phone with a distributor who doesn't offer Oracal, a brand we use... a brand we use a lot of. He tried to sell us on the idea of switching over to Avery, which we will never use again, then he tried to sell us on 3M. I told him about the 3M/Original Wraps debate that I...

LOL nah mine has a flux capacitor so it's set to 1955 mode well before the apocalypse had any effect on icc profiles.

I wouldn't say I have anything set up "wrong", as I don't have a problem printing the colors I want, I just must use a different method. I don't know what to tell you. The moment I download your file, open it in Windows photo viewer, a few other image viewing programs, and CorelDRAW the...

Don't worry, the Mayans forgot to carry the one.

Not all, but the majority of them. The reason being is it's a bit more predictable how things like, gradients, transparencies/lenses, and bitmap effects will turn out. If you are just working with simple flat vector shapes there is no reason to flatten it to a bitmap first. So basically you...

"Best way" May be relative. What works for us is this: We will take a design and create our cut contour (if we need to cut too). We duplicate the design. We then select all of the art of the duplicated design minus the cut contour and we flatten that into a bitmap. "bitmap" -> "convert to...

That's a screenshot from my brothers computer. Not sure why he has "none" mine is set to "Microsoft WCS" I've had equally good luck with "ICM CMM"

We use X6. Nothing special for our color setup though: I have several pallets open: - The default Corel RGB pallet - a 3M color pallet. (We used that one years ago to help us design layouts with the closest colors to the 3M vinyl we used back in the day. I still use the pallet because...

So I tested this again. Your Max Impact comments had me curious. I'm no Roland printer expert, clearly by my gnome comments. However, we have tested our printers over and over again to get the best color results and we have had Roland printers for the better part of 10 years now. So we know...

On a somewhat related note, have you seen what happens when you google "festivus"?
