  1. Is it safe to send out a PDF file thats locked

    Charging them up front for the artwork works a whole lot better. If they take the art and want to go somewhere else you've already gotten paid.
  2. Spin King...sign spinners

    Talked to a kid yesterday who had a "STOP FOR BUY 1 GET 1 FREE COUPONS" sign on the corner who was dancing his ass off with the sign. He said he got paid 75¢ for each coupon he gave out that got used....he said he was making VERY good money with it and nobody else that worked there would do it...
  3. Now...A tip for the Sign Guys!!

    You know what they say....behind every hot chick there's some guy tired of putting up with her shit.
  4. Performance Layout

    If you're going to rotate the .net have it read up, not down.
  5. Okay, tell me why this installation won't work.

    Galvanized posts are $99 each Vinyl post sleeves (around here anyway) only come in 8' lengths and it's next to impossible to hide the seam. Plus I've had posts twist enough to break the sleeves. After rethinking this I think I'm just going to chance it with the 4x4 posts. They're only about...
  6. Okay, tell me why this installation won't work.

    The rendering doesn't show it but if the PVC is filled with concrete the rebar is there tor reinforcement. If I only fill the PVC halfway then I'll cut the rebar (or not) The road the signs will be on is a 1/2 mile long private drive that's rarely open outside of game nights when traffic moves...
  7. Okay, tell me why this installation won't work.

    Most of the kids in my family go to a small private school in the country. It's the kind of place that holds "FAMILY WORK DAY" a couple of times a year to do maintenance projects at the school and the whole community shows up. They've got an idea to do something a little different with...
  8. Explain your avatar / name

    I hate to tell you this Mosh but your daughter's face looks like a tractor.
  9. Explain your avatar / name

    Kraig, as a kid I always felt sorry for other kids who had weird names because they couldn't go to the toy store and buy one of those tags for their bicycle that already had your name on it. My name 'cause my mom named me that. Av is Jack Jack from The Incredibles because it was the first...
  10. Catalyst + Reducer + Shorts

    Mix my catalyst and reducer. Reach to grab the sprayer cup of paint and manage to knock the catalyst and reducer onto the floor. Now, out of an infinite number of directions the coming splash could go it just happened to choose the one that would get it all over my shorts. Being dead tired...
  11. Thinking about selling my equipment

    Not without invoking the wrath of Dave Dorsey, President, Auroura Graphics.
  12. Largest vendor catalog Ever ?

    I've always wondered how much it cost Grainger to print those catalogs.
  13. Race Car Design Challenge

    Wow....so my link is gone? What's up with that?
  14. Bucket Truck sign holder

    I'm beginning the think that bucket trucks don't even exist, they're merely legend.
  15. Race Car Design Challenge

    I thought this contest had already been won?!
  16. Do postcards work?

    Ignore email marketing? Hell no! I avoided it like the plague. Since you brought this back up I can post some early results.... March was "BUY ONE BANNER, GET A SECOND BANNER AT 50% OFF" month. The postcards directly led to one taker. The additional profit on that one banner did cover my...
  17. A question

    To learn from this and stop doing design work on spec. Essentially if they just walk right now you've been working for free. Next time discuss art charges and prices BEFORE you do the actual work. Right now they hold all the chips here. How much time do you have in the design and how much...
  18. Praise for Summa USA

    I figured there's enough complaining when a machine goes bad or tech support is a joke that when something goes right it needs to be mentioned. One of my beloved Summa D60 plotters started acting funky last week. I changed cables, fought through the problems, took it apart and cleaned it and...
  19. Idea

    By the way DFS, I hope you're no under the impression that what you're talking about is a unique production method. I would strongly recommend not using the melamine covered stuff outdoors, even with the edge banding. It's the wrong material for the job. There are plenty of synthetic...

    Ummmm....welcome aboard.
