  1. Anyone capable of converting a CS5 file to CS3 tonight?

    Three people offered but nobody has had time to get the file to me, I guess. I'll try the trial version. i just hate doing that because I've had trial versions of software upgrades disable the version I already had forcing me to buy the upgrade after the trial period.
  2. How would you go about redoing this sign?

    Charge by the hour to strip the old sign but keep in mind there will probably be a ghosted image of the old lettering on it. Sometimes you can get away with stipping it and relettering the back side, sometimes you can't. A sheet of lexan runs about $145 (check your local supplier)
  3. How would you go about redoing this sign?

    New material, definitely. Graphics would depend on the artwork. If it can be done in spot colors I think vinyl tremendously more vibrant than digital prints, plus translucent vinyl will last much longer. Digital prints have become the easy way out for too many shops. Looks great the first...
  4. Anyone capable of converting a CS5 file to CS3 tonight?

    Told the designer I had to have a CS3 or earlier file...I got a CS5. It's too late to get in touch with her tonight and I need to get this banner ready before she'll be at work tomorrow. Anybody out there who can help tonight PM me. Thanks.
  5. Picture copyright

    Tell them to talk to their supplier first. Trane (and just about every other ac and hot water heater supplier) has a co-op program (or used to anyway). Trane will provide the decals for you to apply or they'll supply the high-res artwork, you can print and apply, and Trane will send them a check.
  6. adhesive removal

    Step 1: Make damn sure the customer understands the problem, and accepts the risk of a repaint before you go any further. They usually don't have a problem with it as long as you warn them up front. Your problem is you're trying to get the most aggressive adhesive off a substandard paint job...
  7. Tattoos - Who has them?

    Happens far more than you'd think. Buy a $60 machine on ebay and hook your friends up. There's a barber shop up the street from my shop that decided to branch out. There are probably 15 legal tattoo shops in town....only one of them seems to have a clue what they're doing. I worked in an art...
  8. Help with a sign

    Since the sign cabinet has channels that the panel slides into I'd really do just a rectangular panel and slide it in. Then cut your gear from dibond and attach it to the rectangular panel with VHB tape & rivets. It'll make it an easy job out of the project. Dibond runs about $60 for a 4'x8'...
  9. Gino's attachments

    So what you're saying is it's still all Gino's fault.
  10. Another what would you do scenario

    Give them the deposit back and move on.
  11. Drugged by Parents....................

    My children are gonna hate you Gino.
  12. Gino's attachments

    I have the same problem Fred, and the site is as exempt as it could be. It has stopped making me log back in every thirty seconds like it was doing for a while.
  13. Help with a sign

    Sintra is going to crack. Aluminum is easy enough to cut with a jigsaw, dibond is easier. I'm with Gino, I don't get how you're planning on sliding it into the box but I figure you've got a plan for that. One thing you may want to consider is just doing a rectangular sign and then attaching a...
  14. Now...A tip for the Sign Guys!!

    Do you think 30 years from now people will be talking about Jenna Jameson the way people talk about Betty Page now?

  16. sign man busted

    So one of his competitors tipped off Underwriters Labs? Good.
  17. Tattoos - Who has them?

    Kind of like the girl I was behind at the gas station one day a couple of years ago. The cashier asked her if the name tattooed on the back of her neck hurt asked if it was her daughters name. Nope, the tattooed one replied it was her own name and she had it done so when I guy was getting her...
  18. Tattoos - Who has them?

    Sure....but until the late 80s you mainly saw them on bikers, truckers, sailors, and convicts. You didn't have lines of hot blonde chicks at the beach getting their asses tattooed until the 1990s. Personally I don't have a problem with tattoos....but I look at tattoo artists like I look at...

    Honestly I can offer $15 an hour and get guys to leave the shops there in to come work here with no benefits.
