I have a customer who wants to replace some signs like this. I haven't seen them in person, but based on the photo it looks like acrylic or polycarb with graphics in reverse on the back of the panels. Obviously it's the type of sign that should be designed to be functional and last a long time -...

You're still overthinking it. Just tell the customer that a thin border near the edge of a sign will end up looking uneven on some of the signs, so you would recommend they fix their design. End of story. It's a pretty standard design principle - any designer who has designed a business card...

Your lc/lm heads look good. You might consider asking your Roland tech to switch one of them with the black head. We had that done on ours - now we can print crystal clear 8pt text in black instead of crystal clear 8pt text in light cyan.

1mm PVC or .040 polystyrene would be the most common materials for this, I think. A 10-15 mil polyester film like BigFish suggested might be just thick enough to work and you could print direct on ecosol.

Looks like an obvious one but I'm blanking on it.

This might be a good solution: http://www.vistasystem.com/

I have an XC-540 and have tried this before. There are a number of complications: Your artwork has to have a white background, since you can't print to the edge. You can't print more than maybe 8-12 feet at a time or the material might shift enough that the rollers run over the grommets, which...

Plenty of fonts predate modern computing.

Separate the red and blue. They clash when they touch, so they generally need to be separated like in the Pepsi logo.

BobCap, the link posted by tikiboyz is correct, but it doesn't have the roses edited in. The edit with the roses was done by Jaguarwoman, who is selling it for $8 at the link below. Also, based on a quick glance at her site, she's relentless at hunting people who pirate her work. I wonder if...

Versaworks also has a handy feature to add serial numbers.

It's Helvetica Neue - not sure what "HLOODY+" means. It's $3,476 for the whole family with condensed and expanded on linotype.com, or $87 per weight. Also, this file is only using Helvetica Neue for the bars "|".

I would hazard a guess that this refers to the principle that the proper way to centre a line of text vertically on a sign is that the capital letters would be equal distance from the top and bottom. This is correct, as opposed to including tails that hang below the baseline in lowercase...

If you're on a budget for logo design, you won't get much lower than $800 for quality work. If that's still over budget, I would suggest hiring one of those design contest websites for $200, but for god's sake, DO NOT choose the winner yourself. Post the entries here and get some (free) advice...

The logo looks a bit crooked.

That's a bit of a vague question. Is it indoors or outdoors? Is it drywall or something requiring more conformability, like concrete or brick?

Versaworks has difficulty with complex PDF files, especially when there are transparent images embedded. Watch out for it whenever you get artwork like this from clients, and flatten to TIFF in Photoshop if you need to, as the others mentioned.

The original design looks quite professional, with the exception of a few minor points: "Celebrating" and "Years" need to be in the same font, and not stretched out of proportion. That, plus fix the margins so they line up better on the 3 lines of text. Also put "Years" on a white background...

Not really. PM sent.

Two relevant threads from another user with the same setup as you. Unfortunately I didn't see a solution while briefly skimming the threads. http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?101000-Contour-Cut-Is-Off-Have-New-Cutter...
