  1. The Search is OVER!

    friend posted this pic on facebook, figured it was worth a share :) p.s. I LOVE KFC. The "Double Down" has gotta be the BEST sandwich idea, EVER! (could use more bacon tho')
  2. Adobe Illustrator - Highlighted Object Selection?

    o man, i don't know why i couldn't find that myself. brain-fried and completely lacked motivation to dig for the info. THANKS GUYS! CNTRL+H for the win!
  3. Adobe Illustrator - Highlighted Object Selection?

    In illustrator, I must have hit an unknown command that's throwing me for a loop. What would be the term/quickfix to re-establish individual highlighting of selected objects? by that, i mean... i usually click on an object, and i'll get the 6-points of adjustment box highlighted around the...
  4. Anyone know where i can get this vinyl from?

    R-Tape brand VinylEfx Metalized Vinyl can't tell you offhand if its the gold or silver that you're looking for, but the salesrep should be able to figure it out no problem: carried by Fellers and Advantage Sign Supply (<--merchant member)
  5. new sales technique - begging

    Ooo Meineke cloud sign! i'm making a pair of those right now as we speak!
  6. Head issue on JV3, running out of ideas

    nice! I once wracked my brain over a cracked manifold for an entire week before I realized the problem started soon after the last time I pulled my dampers. sure enough, pulled the head and the nipple on the manifold was cracked. luckily, I keep EVERYTHING, and was able to pull the manifold...
  7. Time Machine to the rescue!

    for those of you designing on Macs, I HIGHLY recommend adding this to your list of back-up procedures. Was having printer issues today, and noticed a "reset printing system" option and figured "Surewhynot. Resetting is always good, right?" WRONG. Apparently that button means "Delete all...
  8. Blue is printing pink.

    post pics of test print or it didn't happen
  9. Magenta nozzle doesn't print..

    Post photos of test print and failed production print or it never happend Also, if you took it apart and don't know the simple things like running the maintenance menu, I'm inclined to believe you may have done more harm than good. Now that your at it, include pics of your print head assembly...
  10. bucket truck tool tray

    Aye, we fab our own from aluminum. Not removable but I don't see any reason it absolutely needs to be
  11. I got a file that needs converted to curves

    came across this sticky, and decided it was worth elaborating on this fix. it DOES work and it is through Adobe Acrobat Professional. I use it all the time. elaborated on this youtube video:
  12. You might want to hold off on that new printer purchase...

    what happens when a real orca tries sexing it up?
  13. jv3 160sp Y direction acting oddly

    i've been racking my brain allday thinking of things you might not have tried yet. clearly not an encoder strip or media sensor issue. at first I started thinking you were trying to print on clear and I was like "duh, his media sensor must not be reading it" but then as I'm replying I see that...
  14. Raster VS Vector Sign for the Shop

    our sales staff is pretty good about asking for artwork and the formats, but sometimes people think that just by inserting low-res .jpeg's into .ai/.pdf/.eps files means they're "production quality"... in which case, i always add "zoom-in" photos of artwork provided by clients to our drawings to...
  15. Hard Drive Prices - Suggestions?

    not as expensive as you'd think. they just aren't going down in price as rapidly as they used to: 500gb hard drives never settle for less.... if you're buying a new hard drive, may as well go BIGGER! 1TB hard drives
  16. Job Wages / Salary

    i would like to see designers getting a % of sales commissions. They sell product, but designing it is also part of the sale. Salesmen get salary plus commission, so why do designers get the shaft? Our workload increases when they make more money, but can't they at least "tip" the designer...
  17. suggested mounting solutions for 1/2" routed PVC letters to one-shot painted MDO

    no need for pattern on the back, as stated in the OP. pattern on the front for aligning your letters, and prior to putting letters down, drill 1/8" holes through where the letters will cover. mount letters with cheap-0 dbl.sided tape, spare the VHB as its expensive overkill if you're using...
  18. Test Print means what?

    i've done this too. I call it "licking the printhead". just once, with a clean & wet swab. essentially the same thing your wiper does, just better, AND it absorbs "gunk" like a swiffer :) edited in response to colin's last post: true, his nozzles look good. I'm not completely familiar with...
  19. Test Print means what?

    you can have picture-perfect nozzle checks, but still get banding in prints if your alignment and/or media compensation are off. bad media compensation, however, will reveal banding across the entire print and i'm more inclined to believe that it is just a head or two that are misaligned. Even...
  20. Silicone A D H E S I V E

    i only use it if it says "100% Silicone" on the tube also noted, that silicone needs the substrates to "float" off one another for it to work. you try mashing two panels together with silicone, it ends up spreading so thin that its not strong enough to hold anything together. (learned the hard...
