We do seasonal graphics changeouts at a luxury purse company's factory outlet store which is literally right across the street from us. But the company's ad agency and graphics supplier (located in the Northeast) is not who hires us to do it. They design the advertising and ship the graphics...

The Avery optically clear laminate that is bundled with MPI1105 is vinyl. No fear of getting polyester. We use the optically clear DOL1360Z as our standard for the very reason stated above--we don't have to stock a different laminate for window wraps. It is thinner (1.3 mil) than their DOL1060Z...

Hmmm. Maybe the company that hired you to install just does design and doesn't actually manufacture anything. Then they just sit at their desk and watch the money roll in.

A 4x8 of 3/16" polycarbonate is $225, so that's $450 to the customer. But you only net $225 of it. The time it takes to retrieve the faces, remove the vinyl and clean them, and put them back up is all charged to the customer. But you didn't have to buy a piece of polycarbonate to do it or put...

Speaking of DTG, has anybody found a wholesaler that makes DTG that looks any good? I've tried a few, and they just don't turn out the way they should (and the printing doesn't last).

Normally street sign posts are just driven into the ground. If you have to put a sleeve in practically flush with ground level, you'd be using a sledge hammer.

The tool is simple in Corel Draw. The video may have confused you because its subject was ways to use transparency, and pointillizer was only incidental. To make your dot gradient, you just create an object, fill it with a fountain fill that goes from color to transparent. Then use the...

It's called the Pointillizer tool. This tutorial explains it, amongst a bunch of other effects. https://learn.corel.com/tutorials/coreldraw-advanced-transparency-effects/

If the colors come out wrong, the profile is wrong. You may have downloaded a canned profile, but it could still be wrong. In addition, there are other steps along the way where color interpolations can be added. You need to check the color management settings of your design software, and what...

You can do it in Corel Draw. It has a tool for it.

The short answer is that the profile you use in the RIP interpolates the colors specified in the file to make them look like what you intended. When you don't make your own profiles for your own machine with the substrates you use, then the interpolation gets it wrong oft times. Manually turning...

That is an incorrect assumption.

Even if you are stuck with the logo as-is, the biggest readability problem you have is lack of contrast. White on parchment is never going to be readable, and the black outline doesn't really do much. It's the same problem I see when people use a printer for everything and letter vehicle windows...

Sarcasm alert. But trying to throw your employee (who does know what she is talking about) under the bus is pretty harsh too. And it is wasteful of her time because you have to clean, test print, clean, test print until you get the heads running again. It feels really wasteful if there are jobs...

If that's the only letter you have to make, it might be faster to hand vectorize it than to search for the font.

I think the EW in New look different because they are lower case. I call these Pinterest fonts because women see things in Pinterest and want us to make their sign with the same stupid fonts. I guess pallet wood people fall in the same category.

And, per Gino's comment about the swan just floating in midair, some kind of line(s) to represent a water level would also keep the work OUTLOOK from looking like it's not part of the sign.

Onyx Production House with our Epson. We're on version 12.

Yes. You killed it. She is not lying. The printer must be left on always. It circulates ink and does automatic head cleanings when idle. It will waste as much as an hour or possibly even more of her time to get the head unclogged.
