Most billboards are now seamlessly printed on to banner material using a grand format solvent inkjet printers and 16' wide prints are not uncommon anymore. Here's a link to some pictures and specs from my billboard printer... http://www.flex-fx.com/html/1,1128,Billboards,00.html Checkers

Since you asked nicely... www.sessions.edu There's a lot of other good information there too. Just one heads up though. Since these are generic forms, you really need to modify them to fit your business and have your attorney review the final product to insure that they're legal for your...

I'll recommend Grimco too. Personally, I find it to be a good thing that they hide their prices. It means that they only sell to sign makers and not every Tom, Dick or Harry. Checkers

That's a scary thought Gino! Your and Sovelhead's stories reminded of my youth when we used to go "big game hunting" at the local safari park where I worked as a seasonal employee. When the park closed, my roomate and I would get fired up and take the pellet gun with us and head out to the...

SeeSigns beat me to it :) A good plan is the most important part of any business. Anither important thing you need is liability insurance. Checkers

I gotta agree with Geary on this. My reputation is too important to chance saving a few $$ on materials from an unknown source. The only exception that I've heard of would be Earl Mich. I know they sell some products on E Bay. Maybe there are others, but I don't know of them. Checkers

I found Pro Vehicle Outlines to be the most accurate and it contains the largest collection of commercial vehicles sold in North America. It's been several years since I've tried the other programs, so they may have improved in quality and quantity since then. Checkers

Hey Bobby, Before you invest in the highway fonts, you may want to read this. It seems that ClearView Hwy may soon become the new standard for highway "fonts". While more expensive, it would sure beat having to buy the current standard, only to have to uprgade in the near future. Is this for...

Where did you get the font from? I've seen this happen when I tried to use fonts from the those all you can download for free font sites. The same applies on those 10,000 font disks for $10 that you get from the office supply store. If this is not the case, the font file may be corrupted. Try...

Well, I'm (south) centrally located and would be willing to volunteer my place and a few weekends to help organize such an event. I've hosted a small "social" in the past, but my home/shop is not really equipped to do much more than that. The one good thing about my location and area is that...

I would normally recommend the original Rapid Tac on this type of install and save RT II for glass. Although the directions on RT II don't specifically state "soak the sh*t out of it", you need to apply a lot more fluid than a light misting. The purpose of the fluid is to act as a barrier...

Hahaha, vinyl may be the most prevalent, but it doesn't rule :) Anyway, I would like to see more informal gathering, but it comes down to what will I get in return for my investment of time and/or money. Call me selfish, but what's in it for me? I won't attend an event where there's no purpose...

I'm in central pa and know a fair amount about encad printers. I'll only charge ya $200 for travel and $185 an hour for labor :) My point is it would appear to me that you didn't do your homework. From what I read, the Encad Vinyljet was a lemon of a printer and never did work very well. But...

Hiya Mike, Perhaps you're applying a quantity discount to one and not the other? What about artwork complexity and general difficulty level, are they the same for both? And, are you using 100% coverage for the 30" x 40" signs and using the same size for the RTA custom logos and graphics? I may...

When this topic last came up, I checked out the web site. From what I recall, they said they were just converting to a "subscription" plan as of April 1st. So, even though the site is no longer accessible by the general public, I'm sure there are a lot of illegal activities going on. Checkers

Since color management and ICC profiles are consistently a hot topic here, I thought I would share this link... http://www.color.org/ and http://www.color.org/faqs.html It contains a wealth of information on how to properly manage your printing system and achieve consistent color. Checkers

Just thinking out loud here... Perhaps another option for you mac heads is to consider purchasing a printer with a built in rip? I would assume that it will eliminate the need for a dedicated rip. Checkers

I was wondering of anyone else would pick up on that :) I would guess that the file is somehow corrupted and that's what's causing the issue. By exporting the file, you cleared out the bad data. Checkers
