Rick: THANKS, I have been using Illustrator since 1988, and I never fail to be amazed at how many of the features that STILL escape my observation. I used to belong to a Mac Users group about 18-20 tears ago, and one of the members was a High School graphics instructor told us that most users...

The problem with your suggestion, is that the effect you created can not be "cut" with a plotter because it is an "envelope" NOT a true vector piece of artwork. Though you could print your example, if I am understanding the example you posted, it is NOT plot-able. There in lies the problem of...

I think what I would suggest Is that you would have him at print a reasonably large full-color print the width of the printer and perhaps 24 to 36 inches deep. This would make sure that all the printheads are working, the lines are open, and that within hours of shutting the printer down you...

Holy Cow! You could have out sourced those through several wholesale vendors available to you, doubled retail price they quote and STILL been less than you paid for that "indoor" printer. But that is a mute point at this time, so find out what the limitations and benefits of owning your printer...

We all have plenty of ideas as to what to do, but each of us at the end of any given day need to ask ourselves, "what would I want to have happen to me if I was the one who originally paid Pat to letter the signs"? Your response to THAT question may set the tone for the rest of your life. OR...

You currently show that you have a 24" plotter, and I would assume the programs and computor to design on. You will need a 54"-64" plotter, and a laminator of similar dimensions to properly service the printer you are considering. Do you have the money to cover those items?? And what about the...

Here is something I put together to show you what a digital print might look like.

Tank you all for the quick response.

Can someone help me identify theses two fonts? I need to replicate this for a new lettering job, and the customer doesn't know who did this job last time. Thanks to the font gurus out there, I know one of you will get this sorted out.
