  1. Is my calculator wrong

    $48.75 is correct if you're adding 5% GST ($18.75) and 8% PST ($30.00) to a sale of $374.95. Maybe someone forgot to update the tax formula in your supplier's system when they made the HST update?
  2. Looking for a supplier for outdoor "board" displays

    +1 for Fossil, if the client wants it to last as long as possible. I've never actually done a project with Fossil, but heard enough about them to trust they'd be the best for the job.
  3. Need Help Seeking a waiver for installing sign without permit

    Just sell them the banner and let them find someone else to install it. Move on to the next customer.
  4. Hook & Loop banner material

    Grimco calls it hook & loop. http://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Search?searchString=velcro&c= Also why is there a thumbs down in the "G" in your logo?
  5. Illustrator/Photoshop Layout

    I don't know about Photoshop, but linking is easy in Illustrator. Put all your designs in one AI file and then File > Place it into the print layout AI file to link it. Then you can duplicate the linked object and put whatever clipping masks you want on it, and rearrange the pieces to your...
  6. Trouble getting good solid color when printing on clear for lit faces

    Doubling the saturation etc. in the file or in your RIP won't cut it. The profile still limits the amount of ink you can print in one strike. Set your RIP to double-strike (or double overprint, etc.) and it will do a double-density print.
  7. Exterior pylon signs: Polycarbonate VS Lexan VS Acrylic....

    Grimco here (Canada) sells acrylic in both rolls and sheets, and polycarbonate in both rolls and sheets.

  9. Anyone have optimum settings for cutting small detailed type

    Would love to know how you do that. Our machine just starts lifting up any sliver of vinyl it can and makes a mess of anything that small.
  10. ACM V-groove solution

    Handheld router works too.
  11. Importing Multi-page PDFs

    Acrobat can split a PDF into separate files for each page.

  13. I need some help. Pleeeease?

    You're not their target market. It's for companies that want imagery that's super high quality, unique and hasn't been used by thousands of other companies already (like most good photos on regular stock sites).

    Here's a legal source for the image: http://www.gettyimages.ca/license/521776934
  15. Price check

    Don't listen to Bob - he doesn't know what he's talking about. Kerning is about making the spacing between the letters look visually balanced and even. You would only follow the "type body" rule if you were trying to design something intentionally made to look like it was printed with metal...
  16. Printing on Metallic

    So many red flags. Stop wasting time and tell the client to take a hike.

  18. Inc. Ltd. Co.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong... Inc, Ltd, LLC and so on are legal designations and should only be used on legal documents. Never in a logo. A professional designer wouldn't put it in a logo, so if you do, your logo will look like it wasn't designed by a professional, and you'll look like a...
  19. Your thoughts on unconventional yard sign production...

    To answer your question on quality, vinyl prints mounted on coro have always looked way better than flatbed prints in my experience. I'm sure some flatbed printers are better than others but flatbed-printed signs I see around here have terrible print quality.
