    It is different today, Now we use computers to render a complete design in full color with detailed images all of which are used for multiple avenues.

  8. Computer: always on or shut down each day?

    With sleep mode there is plenty of savings going on. I would guess there is more savings today than a few years ago when people were shutting them down over night. In the old days.. The wear and tear is negligible compared to the power surges of a restart in the power supply. That momentary...

  10. Screw you 3M.

    Yes wrap guys are sensitive to the 3M deal. I certainly do not blame you any of them. But, it is no way the same as Avery's complete con job for their clients. Avery lied,, flat out lied,,, balled faced lie. They stood there with a straight face and said the problem was ours due to improper...
  11. Free Design vs. No Free Design

    Royster said it.. That is one of the most important parts of it all. Find out what his needs are by profiling him. If he needs a production type sign at 60 bux then there is no use in attempting to sell a 5 grand panel. If he is needing a 5 grand sign but has a 60 bux vision then its time to...

    All you guys can look to Shepard Fairey's recent attempts to avoid JAIL time for his copyright infringement in his attempt to redraw AP's photo of O's image into a poster. It gives every one a good way to see what happens when one redefines copyright law to suit his or her needs.
  16. Dealing with hostile competition

    If you learned all that as above,, and you took over the management of the bizz and knew more than a 20+ year experienced guy,, then you would be way above all this blue collar nonsense. And you would be too busy to let it get into your brain. In fact,, I feel you didn't learn any thing but...

  19. Rapid Tac on acrylic?
