You're correct if you're referring to a simple minded square foot model as in area * rate. But, if you're not profoundly innumerate, there is nothing wrong with integrating a complete pricing model around area of the product. Done properly it yields sound and consistent pricing. Far more...

In spite the fun everyone seems to be having feeling vastly superior to whatever lettered this thing, if you actually look at it the thing has a kind of down home funky charm all its own. The execution doesn't appear to be done by someone with their finger dipped in paint. I notice that this...

Too cheap. In my shop a two sided 4x8 would be $535.00 plus 200% of whatever substrate was used. A 2.5'x15' banner would be $275.00. These would be FOB my shop, I don't install anything ever. If those numbers manage to give some prospective client pause then I'm not all that sure I need to be...

Something like this? Done with Corel and Alien Skin texture plug in. Maybe 30 seconds invested.

If that document is original then it's most likely a steel engraving and no settable type face was involved. A product of the engraver's hand much the same as a hand lettered sign.

Do you have sufficient trailer on the media? You need at least 4-5 inches of media beyond the upper marks. If you don't have enough trailer you'll trip the media sensor before the back marks [2 and 4] are in position to be read. If you did cut the print off too short, simply tape a 4-5 inch wide...

Most solar powered anything is nothing but a battery and a solar charger for that battery. If you can run your project on battery power then you might be able to come up with a viable solution. If not then...shrug.

The both of them are typographical train wrecks. Starting with type face selection and continuing through to the black outlines that willy nilly impinge on themselves.

Dyslexics are more fun than a barrel of gibbons. A bumper sticker for a new dyslexic support group: "DAM" [Mothers Against Dyslexia] may be a seller in your village. Or the dyslexic devil worshiper that sold his soul to Santa. Or the dyslexic agnostic insomniac that stayed awake nights...

Rethink your choices of type faces. University Roman should never be used in all caps. In fact, it shouldn't be used at all except at gunpoint. 'hair shack' goes with nothing, neither in type face selection nor execution. If you must use that wannabe decco image of the bint with the...

Grand mal seizure with a soupcon of goat's stomach.

It's not the print head. The chances of that are roughly equivalent with the probability of the Pope converting to Judaism coincident with a full planetary alignment and parting of the waters. When you say 'countour [sic] marks' do you mean the registration marks or the contour path? If...

Google Image for 'Zebra Texture' and grab one that suits you. Bring it into Corel, convert it to black and white line drawing and then trace it with max smoothing. Set your text in whatever type face gets you off and then power clip the zebra pattern into the text.

Corel, Adobe, and all the others are fungible. They are all pretty much the same. The might not all do the same things in the same way but they all can produce the same result. Such that you cannot tell if an image was made with one or the other. Thinking that one is superior to another is...

Not a font, hand done.

This can be stubborn. Turn off your computer, as in power off, not merely a restart. Turn off your printer. Physically unplug the Ethernet cable from the printer. Take a break for a minute. Plug in the Ethernet cable, turn on your computer. When it's all booted up and grand, turn on your...

Add to Jill's list a roll of Scotch tape, low tack if you can find it, plain old vanilla if you can't. You can use Scotch tape to mask the upper and lower edges of a line of text and cheat via not having to cut in the tops and bottoms of letters. Remove the tape and touch up the tops and...

If by 'Alumet' you mean laminated panels then treat it like it's wood. A table saw with a decent combination blade, a jig saw with something on the order of a 16tpi down cut blade, most any band saw, a Cutawl with the general purpose toothed down cut blade, etc, etc, will all cut cleanly.

There is nothing, at least nothing yet discovered, that I'd refuse to do on any grounds save non-payment. I'd do work for the Prince of Darkness if he paid up. Anything, filthy pictures stressing togetherness, pro-abortion, anti-abortion, any flavor of god nonsense, libel, slander, anything...

And this makes it not incredibly boring in what way?
