Just for kicks and giggles, I demo'd the Sign Proof Pro a little while back and it seemed to do it's job well. So, $160 may sound like a lot of money to ya, but if it keeps 1 design from being pirated, it's paid for itself. The other solution is not to design anything without a signed contract...

You probably won't get 2 years under normal conditions - even with a UV laminate. I've seen pigmented auqeous ink (UV) inkjet prints start to fade in as little as 2 weeks in Vegas. However, I have had others last 2+ years. The 2+ years was a north facing banner, here in PA, with laminate, that...

What Si said - deposit $113 and keep the rest. BTW, if you're getting a tip, you're not charging enough! Checkers

Not exactly a small town with a population of nearly 22k, and we're sure not a big city. The Harrisburg MSA has about 560,000... http://www.harrisburgpa.gov/econProfile/facts.html Checkers

For maximum impact, a good rule of thumb is 1" for every 10' of viewing distance. Checkers

If Pat's manual doesn't help, try the plotter doctor.com - maybe? He's been mentioned here before, but I forget the website address. Checkers

Try lexjet.com and look for printable polycarbonate. I don't know if they have a .020 though. Checkers

Proper profiling is the key to accurate reproductions. The client needs to supply you with files with the proper profile embedded and you need to use the right profile for your ink and media combination. You can do profiling the right way and invest in the equipment and learn to do it yourself...

There can be many issues with external and removable hard drives - guess how I know :( Besides a file server with built-in redundancy, another consideration would be a NAS, or network attached storage device. It's basically a file server without a processor. Here's a link to some @ newegg...

Hey Chicago, Since I'm always willing to learn, I would like to please explain, in detail, what you mean when you say "Wouldn't take much to just recreate it." BTW, I attached the art in case anyone didn't want to go to the website. Thanks again, Checkers

Hi 101ers, I've been searching for the dog headshots contained within the art on this page... www.midatlanticschh.com I've searched the obvious sites and had no luck. So, I'm hoping someone here would recognize it and direct me to the source. I tried the original designer, but he passed...

Here's an interesting read that I recently found... http://www.swop.org/certification/monitorList.asp?orderby=0 Checkers

I doubt the owners are interested in talking. After all (and I'm not saying it's your fault), you were there when they got into this mess. They may partiall blame you for their woes too. I would seriously try talking to the owners and the bank that they financed through. With you taking over...

I wouldn't do it. However, using aqueous "pigmented" inks for wraps may work short-term. But, my experience is that even they will fade in as little as a couple of weeks, or they may last for years. It just depends on how much UV exposure they're subjected to. I did some printed graphics for a...

Hey Joe, Suppliers are just that, they're trying to sell product. For the most part, they probably don't care what it is as long as they can make their profit on it. On the other hand, I think the one part of our industry where the suppliers and manufacturers (mainly manufacturers) are...

Hey Chip, If you want to survive in this business, you're gonna have to grow thicker skin. You seem to be defending the newbie stereotype - even if it is there for a reason :) For the record, there always were and always will be hacks in this industry. However, since the equipment and...

Hiya Joe, I didn't read the other comments, but, I'll answer most of your questions - based on my experience. First, I live and work in a metropolitan area and service a broad spectrum of clients, both retail and wholesale, that range in location from inner city to rural areas. Also, I...

You may also need to look at the file properties to see if there are security/ownership rights that need to be converted on the new computer. Checkers
