  1. brush style script ID

    The inside area in the two 'p's are not identical with each other and this is a good example of a fast script by someone who can hand letter. That being the case, it's probably not to be found in font file.
  2. Seeking opinion on machining vinyl with minimal startup cost

    Assuming you're wanting to apply a rectangle of printed vinyl to the back side of an ~11"x11" square and you want to find some mechanism to cut the vinyl to size, is that about it? With that assumption you have one major problem with the production of these prints and a lack of understanding...
  3. Refacing Giant Billboard With Banner Strips Like Wallpaper?

    Get hold of Circle Graphics in somewhere around Boulder/Longmont Colorado. The have done excellent work and quickly for me in the past. http://www.circlegraphicsonline.com
  4. 3d sculpture

    You need to find someone with a 3D CNC hot wire foam cutter. While there's not one in every garage, they're not all that uncommon. A friend, a farmer, about 1/2 mile away has one and I hear there's a few more around the area. It's not a real complicated tool. Basically the hot wire is pulled...
  5. Flexi 7 Pro- whats it worth?

    If you get $5.00 for it that's $5.00 more than it's worth. Far better to give it to an appropriate organization and then write off the full retail value, when it was new, on your taxes.You'll net more that way than trying to sell it. And it's a damn sight more dignified.
  6. Choosing Media Profiles

    Outraged protests of the buck profilistas in these waters notwithstanding, a profile the works to your satisfaction with one particular media most likely will work with whatever media. Here in this shop there are two, count 'em two, profiles and one of them hasn't been used in years. One...
  7. seeking opinions on building a work table

    Just so you know in the future, MDO is plywood with a resin finish. MDF is particle board. MDO=Medium Density Overlay, MDF=Medium Density Fiber. Knowing the nomenclature is half of all wisdom.
  8. seeking opinions on building a work table

    Something learned from other people's homemade tables... If the table is top doesn't have at least a foot or so overhang, all around, from whatever the central core might be even if it's just four legs, there will come when someone will want to use a stool or tall chair and will find that to...
  9. JPEG ---> Vector

    Hardly. A .pdf file is merely a container for all manner of objects. Vector objects, text objects, bitmap objects, and bog knows what else can all be packaged in a .pdf. A .pdf has no particular native format.
  10. little program to figure square footage

    Well Euclid, 6x6 is 36 or .25 ft^2 not 72 or .5 ft^2. There in your practical guide to geometry using your fingers it should be noted that it takes four 6x6 squares to cover one 12x12 square. That's what it means when someone says that area varies on the square. Just to be complete, volume...
  11. eco sol ink and outgassing

    Twaddle. Print it, laminate it, and ship it. Outgassing is the sort of myth one uses to scare small children into going to bed. Even if the print emits more gas that the guys around the campfire in Blazing Saddles, which is most certainly does not, the laminate is gas permeable. Solvents dry...
  12. Thats why sometimes i hate doing design work

    What can you expect from people who think sliding rocks on ice is worth doing, let alone manufacturing a competition out of it.
  13. little program to figure square footage

    I am awestruck at the level of innumeracy constantly on display, not only in these waters, but most everywhere else as well. If you need an automated algorithm to calculate area for simple geometric constructions, you are well and truly an idiot. You are a danger to yourself and those around you.
  14. Mixing Vinyl & Laminates

    The fundamental rule here is cast with cast and calendared with calendared. It doesn't matter a whit who made the vinyl and who made the laminate as long as both both are cast or both are calendared. If the types are mixed one's going to shrink at a different rate than the other and this is all...
  15. I designed customers artwork; they take it and run.... What the ?

    Well there Clarence Darrow, you might want to familiarize yourself with the Berne Convention of, I think, 1989. The creator of a work has enforceable copyright on that work merely by virtue of the fact that it exists. And it most definitely is enforceable. Been there, done that.
  16. Okay, who exactly is suppose to pay attention to this sign

    Perhaps it might appeal to the more literate goose but it's no doubt intended for people who take some sort of pleasure in feeding geese. Walking in goose $hit remains a somewhat less than pleasurable experience.
  17. Intellectual Property and Copyright Theft In Our Industry.

    And mine as a certified free range old f@rt... Finally someone who appears to actually understand that the copyright and intellectual property laws date back to a long distant time when those who held the rights also held the means of reproduction. Not so today and the bulk of these laws are...
  18. color matching

    There are no perfect results, just close enough. Pay little heed to the profilistas in these waters. They're fond of polysyllabic technical terms but they don't produce any result that's in any way superior to simply matching a sample to a color chart. I've been doing this favor of work since...
  19. yellow banner material for printing

    Just print the yellow background right along with the black copy. To many folk printing an entire single color background can seem excessive. It's quite ordinary and it's done every day. For example, the yellow pages in your favorite phone book are printed on white paper. The yellow is merely...
  20. Factory Font?

    LHF Smalts seems a reasonable match.
