  1. Scanner recommendation?

    We have two of those at other work stations. (office person, and engraving dept.) We need one that will be at our work station and scan to vector (function of our software at this work station)
  2. Scanner recommendation?

    We have a basic 5 man commercial sign shop. Our scanner (God knows how old) is not working properly. Is there any real difference in scanners for our purposes? We need to purchase something that will allow us to scan customer supplied artwork for reproduction. Usually nothing high rez or...
  3. Well, Reading made the news again......................

    Marlene, with all due respect, that's exactly what's right with this scenario. A person who will rise up and stand up to obvious criminal acts! Hurrah! Not that any person could or even should do so, but this guy acted, he committed, to do something about this. I say bully for him, it was...
  4. Font Id

    Some kind of modified Bookman?
  5. Well, Reading made the news again......................

    I'm willing to bet you that if you and your family (my assumption) were in a mall and someone began to shoot the place up, and you saw a "concerned citizen" stand up, pull out his (legally owned and carried) gun and stop the threat, you'd be very, very grateful. (all the while your cell phone...
  6. Well, Reading made the news again......................

    Could not agree with you more, Gino. Note to bad guys, "don't wave your guns around and threaten deadly force to others". "It's quite possible you will me met with deadly force". That's the score, deal with it.

    Hi, I was born in Cleveland and graduated Strongsville HS. Lived out on Drake Road.
  9. Good news from a doctor!!!!

    Just had pancreatic cancer surgery myself. Removed part of my stomach, all of my duodenum, entire gall bladder and half the pancreas. Had to re-route the bile ducts etc. Long surgery. Recovering at home now. Very weak but getting better each day. Yeah cancer's a b*tch, but beatable if...
  10. Shop Floors?

    Hi, this may not be the answer for you, but we recently did our shop install bay with coin top rubber flooring. Comes in a few colors, lays flat, is nice and quiet, solvent resistable, etc. Our shop is 5000 sq.ft. so we only did it in the bay where we bring vehicles in. Cleans up nicely...
  11. Regarding Signs101 forum, one thing I've noticed is.....

    Hope I wasn't misunderstood. (failure to communicate) I fully understand the function of Signs101 and your mission Fred. It's a business connection for info hungry tradesmen/business owners. A place to share. I simply meant that at times we all need a diversion from the day-to-day grind. And the...

    Thank you very much.
  13. Help with this font?

    It's the title text's font I need. Thanks everyone.
  14. Regarding Signs101 forum, one thing I've noticed is.....

    I spend a whole lot less time on here than I used to. That is, when conversations and topics often were about recent news events, political commentary, religious commentary, etc. Debates often happened, with some of them turning into heated affairs with occasional ad hominem attacks on the...
  15. Why we pay high USPS postage rates? Here is the answer....

    Wow, that takes me back. Graduated Strongsville High 1966. Go Mustangs! Is that where you're currently set-up?
  16. Called back - backlit is washed out

    Seems to me another possibility is this scenario; The sign shop/print shop accepted the work. An in-house printer ran the print, but made a mistake. (didn't double-strike the print either through negligence or incompetence) The print got laminated and out the door it went. The administrators of...
  17. Wendy's has hidden message in new logo

    That's a pretty weird comment. Where are you coming from with that?
  18. Why do people try to haggle with sign shops?

    Here's something that hasn't been mentioned. (unless I missed it) I have a theory. I'm not sure how other's do things, but having your prices printed out in a three ring binder, right there in front of the client seems to help. It seems to "legitimize" your pricing. Rather than looking up at the...
  19. How to politely ask for deposit before any work is started?

    As far as having something simple and succinct to say (for your counter people) how about this? "Well, okay sounds like we have enough information for us to begin the layout/design process. How would you to handle the deposit? We accept cash, check, and credit cards."
  20. Quick question on Fellers banner tape

    We use the Tak-it. Order about 7 rolls at a time. Can't compare it to the other two you mention because we haven't used them.
