  1. Logo Designers Needed

    Well since we are on the constructive criticism track. As soon as it took more than a few seconds to load I thought here we go. Sure enough a soundtrack. Almost clicked off right there. Everything at an angle. Bad. Click on a portfolio piece and it jiggles to a stop. Ahhh...no that's bad...
  2. Training in Illustrator

    What you said is true. But there is nothing like sitting in a class being able to raise your hand to get help. Online stuff is great IF and its a big IF, you are truly driven to learn. If you frustrate easily or have other distractions you will never learn anything. Another problem I found...
  3. Oval segments that are equal in distance

    What about using the Rotate Tool in Illustrator? You will need to input a few things, but it's doable. It will give equal spaced segments, but you will have to manually manipulate the length based on desired result. I made an oval in Illy then used the rectangle too to set a small recatngle...
  4. Installing Banners on Interior Wall

    Check Outwater Plastics banner frames.
  5. Any One using Port A Cool in the Warehouse with printers

    As long as you keep humidity levels in check I don't see a problem. We maintain between 55 and 65 percent humidity.
  6. Training in Illustrator

    Take a class at the community college. It is your best bet. Illustrators core functions are the same. And core functions are what most signage requires anyway. I have 5.5 on my Mac and from time to time still use CS and CS2 on a PC. Net result is the same.
  7. Displacement map tutors.

    Check Youtube. Might want to check your alpha channels and find the one that is the darkest with the most contrast.(darks and lights) You can always manipulate the final version with a blend mode if you're doing a color composite.
  8. Realty Sign Pricing

    Hear me now believe me later. Sub them out. Anything over 10 or 15 gotta have it now pieces at our shop get subbed out. You will be much happier not having to print, laminate, cut and install 400 prints. (I assumed double sided) The job would also consume your life for a week if not more...
  9. Rough Sketch to finished...

    That turned out well. Your rough sketch is way better than my best effort.
  10. rusty rivet metal artwork for wrap

    I usually make my own in PS using rust and grunge brushes and rust textures I've "built". I've also taken hi-res photos of old train bridges etc... and use those.
  11. Let down by Roland

    You have a bad roll of media or there is something wrong electronically(head board, ribbon cable, encoder etc...) or mechanically. My SP540V has deflection and complete nozzle drops on K and a couple others and it prints great. We print for some very fussy clients and they are thrilled with the...
  12. Need square footage help

    I just bid a Sprinter sight unseen. They told me what year and model designation. Went to the Sprinter website got wheelbase and a couple other dims. Scaled from that. Not difficult just takes a little time.
  13. We need to paint a Pylon sign, big one, what do we use to paint the frame and posts?

    Can't be done? Really?! How was it painted in the first place? Some peoples kids. I'd pressure wash with an acid based prep. Pressure wash with neutralizer(water). Then use an airless to hose it with Rustoleum. Or you can find the contractor in your area that does the water towers...
  14. 2-Sided Water Bottle Labels

    Try Belmark. They print labels for every product imaginable.
  15. IT guy from Germany

    Welcome from Wisconsin.
  16. #2

    What Gino said. (we have them figured in) Only up charge for us is rope or webbing.
  17. What's it worth?

    An old MultiCam 44 popped up not far from me. Shop is asking $9500. Not sure it's worth that. It looks very well used. Any input is helpful.
  18. Baby Snot Sucker

    No clue on line size. I ended up with extra when I changed the pump so haven't needed any.
  19. What solution do I need to clean and flush jv3 printheads

    Here is what I learned about straight butyl cellusolve. You can completely erase ink splatter off of banner material. And I mean completely. Roland's secret blend of herbs and spices would hardly touch it. Being careful with clogged heads...? They're already buggered up. How much worse can...
  20. Baby Snot Sucker

    I go to my local Fleet Farm and get their cattle syringes. You could get a bunch for 5 bucks. You have a Fleet Farm in your town too. I checked.
