I will often use America's Printer for commercial printing. 1000 16pt. full color business cards $15.95. You can pay more for faster shipping. They have a full range of products. Personal service. I've never had any problems with them.

Same here. Although I enjoy the challenges of sign design, that's not all I do. Branding and business marketing graphics is a bigger part of my business.

Nobody's getting excited about a small order for magnets. But if helping this client can get you a foot in the door, or if it is an established client, I would certainly do my best to fulfill the request. PS: The client probably already knows he can get a pair of 12" x 24" magnets for around...

Either you didn't comply with the terms of the contract from the sign forwarding company or they forgot to include the terms in their contract. People make mistakes, and if you want to be a good guy just send them the COI. If the terms were not in the original contract, I would consider...

$6.00 sq. ft. plus layout/design/admin fee plus shipping fee. My minimum is $25.00 for 15 minutes or less, so if the client comes in with ready art, 2x 12" x 24" will cost $49.00 plus shipping. Usually I have to do some layout, so total price would be approx. $99.00 plus shipping. I don't...

There has always been a place in the field of graphic design for trendy design and original thinking. It's been going on forever. The public thought Art Nouveau and Art Deco was decadent and overly sensual. German Plakatstil was considered ridiculous, but they established a style that...

WWD: I agree with you. Good design is a complete package, including technical requirements. Design is about making money. A good graphic design for the client will increase the value of their sign. A sound knowledge of best production practices will enable the designer to create designs...

Designer doing production??? Not very smart. A good designer is your best asset, and will make you more money than 10 production workers. Most of what we sell is a commodity. It's stuff that anybody with the right machine can make. What differentiates our product is design. A good design...

This will get you started...

2014 Toyota 4-Runner built as a chase vehicle for the Baja 1000 by skunk works N-Fab. Good luck getting permission to use that! Maybe they licensed it? Call N-Fab (866-806-6322).

Alien Skin Eye Candy has some great bevel effects you can use with Flexi (not supported but they can work). You will need to covert to raster image, so make sure your output resolution is appropriate for your application. You can also retain your original vector art to use as a cutting path if...

Neato: You are quite right. Properly proportioned margins and an understanding of typography often go very far in establishing clear communications. In all cases, content is also important. The clarity of your message is essential. In some cases, the whole top third of a business card could...

I outsource as much as I can. Design, illustration, hand lettering, hand carving, gold leaf work and some vinyl production work is handled in-house. Most commercial installations are handled in house, most large electrical installations are bid out. Without the expensive overhead of printers...

The design could easily accommodate a 1/8" safe line with some layout adjustment (I would not recommend the "NOT THIS" example).

"Hittin' Skins" means to have sex in some cultures. You'll primarily encounter the phrase in more urban areas. Look it up online for a more graphic explanation. They seem to have it together. Hard to understand the offensive name. They might think it refers to screen printing, but in any...

Where can you buy color swatch books? I have been trying to do this for years. Especially interested in 3M products. I use a local distributor. Their prices are a little high, but I can usually get 1-2 day delivery. They will usually supply me with a handful of color charts, but often they...

MacTac B-Free is the wrong product for this application (it is designed with air egress channels for dry application only). Next time use MACmark Glass Décor 700 Series, which is designed for a wet application (other makers also sell similar films). Another common error is too much surfactant...

1 million in sales... in order to justify the expense of an automated system and be competitive. If you just want to make them for fun, I suppose you could cut everything with a jig saw, use a hand notcher and mechanical brake, and paint with a brush. A good automated system will reduce labor...
