Profit doesn't affect the legality, only the judgment. It's still infringement. IP law covers more than just tangible fiscal issues, it also covers brand perception and a bunch of other things that are hard to quantify in monetary amounts. Basically if you create something you have the right to...

"Always use a project management system" -signswi --Michael Scott

Had a race car (FF) drop in out of the blue needing a next day wrap (plus design) in the middle of a fleet wrap rollout. Good stuff. Haven't done a train yet, would love to design one. Installing one looks...interesting, glad I'm not involved on that end.

What you're talking about are orphaned works and they're decided on a case by case basis, the regulations on what is considered an orphaned work is an area of law which is actively and rapidly changing. The scope of the discussion is way outside of signs101.

Except you're wrong on about all count there Judge. Disbarred! Copyrights are automatically applied to created works and do not transfer unless explicitly transferred (almost always in writing as part of a contract). There may in fact be MULTIPLE copyrights on something, for example a...

BCT is who we used as well when forced into thermo despite our best efforts. Wisconsin is full of insanely high quality print shops and letterpress houses yet some people still wanted their business cards to look like their daughter made them with puffy paint...

I'm...not sure...I'd want...an...email...with...so...many...elipsis... especially...elipsis...with...the wrong...dot...count... ... Customer service is expensive and often a time waster, can't blame companies for wanting to move to online ordering systems. CAN blame them when those online...

As a former business card specialist, thermography is the redneck of the business card world. If you want something with texture that is a bit more sophisticated go with letterpress'd cards or play with uncoated stock and spot uv.

For personal use I build my own but for business I have a relationship with a guy at Dell who can cut really good deals on their Optiplex line, which is quality. For laptops I like lenovo though they aren't quite as good as they were 5 years ago (but same goes for every laptop manufacturer...).

Yes, I don't even touch knives or production but it still irks me, every time I walk the shop for any reason I end up closing and retracting a dozen knives of various types. And put away your damn squeegees!

Did you do the lobster art? It looks like it's a bit differently styled than the rest. I only ask because it's quite a bit more detailed than the rest of the design, and purchased stock art can't be used in logos without violating stock art EULA (also means you can't trademark the logo...). If...

Don't ever ballpark. If a job was simple enough to ballpark it probably isn't worth doing. Check your sales estimator software and give a real estimate. If you have a modern system you can do that right from a smartphone.

The GS6000 gamut does just get into the good purples and electric blues but just and you have to be custom profiling the machine to get near it. If you just feed it SWOP you won't get close.

Actually wouldn't be terrible at that speed, a full backup from a complete loss would take a bit but in that case your shop is probably closed during your rebuild or whatever ;P. Initial upload takes a while but you keep working during it and then once you max out changes are uploaded using...

Lock your equipment closet! Employees shouldn't be able to get anywhere near it. I understand what you're saying though. Maybe internet is slow where you are and pulling images down is a slow proposition? I'm lucky enough to be right near a backbone so I can pull down as fast as I can reimage...

I believe Buffalo's software supports automatic backup to Amazon S3, worth looking into. Having 2 NAS with RAID 5 with one as a backup of the other, both in the same building, is a touch silly ;).

What you do is create an ICC profile for your specific printer with a spectrophotometer and profiling software package like x-rite i1Publish Pro 2. Once you've done that you know the actual gamut of your printer (on particular stock) and can use the ICC to proof preview throughout adobe in order...

RAID, the technology, is not a backup technology, it's a HD redundancy technology. That's the point. Matthew nailed it in that adding RAID doesn't mean you have backup, just redundancy. You need offsite and an automatic policy in place for anything resembling true backup.

Look at Synology or Qnap if you want a quality NAS, and remember that RAID is not backup. Still need offsite, cloud is easiest/more reliable than externals (fragile, relies on you remembering to do it).
