  1. Business Structure for Sign Shop

    Agree with James. Go check out a few NOLO books from the library and do your due diligence. I'd guess LLC will be your best bet OR sole proprietor with a standard $1 million business insurance plan. C corp and S corp don't start to make sense until you're making significantly more than you would...
  2. Lightroom on sale at Amazon $89.99

    For those interested in how and why they'd integrate Lightroom into their workflow, I suggest hitting Adobe TV. http://tv.adobe.com/product/lightroom/episode/highest-rated/
  3. Lightroom on sale at Amazon $89.99

    Basically if you're someone who takes photography as a serious hobby, you're an image geek, etc. you'll want to use Lightroom for "developing" your photos not Photoshop due to tool and workflow advantages. Walk into a photographer's studio or an agency and they'll be working in Lightroom. You...
  4. Thoughts & Suggestions on Logo...

    I like the logomark a lot but not the fonts on any of your examples. I also like the blue greens in play, feels very medical which is a good thing. You want to calm and attract patients not trigger their tricho. Are you pretty new to typography? All of your examples just feel "default". I'd...
  5. Lightroom on sale at Amazon $89.99

    Great deal for a great product. Get it now to upgrade cheaply to Lightroom 4 later this year/early next year.
  6. HP Z1 Work Station

    Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook (aka Mac Air clone) is decently slick as well.
  7. Perfect Resize software problem

    Are you using it as the PS plugin or standalone? If using it in PS try launching the 32bit version of PS and using it from there, that fixes weird plugin issues sometimes.
  8. Mutoh Woes

    Haven't used a Mutoh but on our Mimaki we just put a piece of tape over the End of Roll sensor. Try that first, sometimes simple hacks are the best. Otherwise you're probably looking at replacing that sensor or possibly the board it connects to.
  9. RIP Software

    I actually like Onyx's interface best but that's probably just user bias. I just wish the layout tool was built into preflight instead of being two separate tools, but I find Caldera to be a worse offender on the "lots of different ugly windows for functions" front. However I know people swear...
  10. Just a reminder, hard drive crashed Friday.

    RAID is just one level of on-site redundancy and won't help you if your building burns down or floods. You need offsite backup as well. crashplan.com backblaze.com amazon s3
  11. Logo Design - Starting in B/W

    Thanks, he just did another recently of winged logos, a current trend many of which are also operating in the retro badge style: http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/articles/inspirational-showcase-of-logo-designs-with-wings
  12. HP 25500 - Best "Poster" paper?

    I can also vouch for Bigfish's Poster Paper, it's great stuff. I've used both it and the HP Photo Realistic Poster Paper, both are excellent products but Bigfish's product is a lot less expensive and equal in quality. Also OP when you run poster paper set the media type to "HP Photo Real - low...
  13. Joke

    Dyslexic man walks into a bra
  14. The Billboard is up!

    Regardless of the design, blah blah debate it's good to see someone actually doing some marketing.
  15. Price of gasoline, petroleum.. etc.

    You're right the announcement was older news, the actual production step up today caused the bounce. Nice catch.
  16. What brand and colour matches pms 873c

    Yeah I think you'd have to have a manufacturer do a custom vinyl dye to hit that very closely. Or, you could find someone with a Roland or Mimaki running silver and have them try to print it.
  17. Just a reminder, hard drive crashed Friday.

    Or go a step further and roll your own slipstreamed install using nLite. Or even further and set up SUS on your intranet.
  18. Make it Happen

    Nice, hadn't seen that. I'm a fan of the Kauffman Foundation and Tim O'Reilly.
  19. the sky at night

    Orion has been really lovely and clear, agreed. Spent about 20 minutes just staring upwards on my way from the house to my car last night, neighbors probably think I lost it.
  20. Price of gasoline, petroleum.. etc.

    Saudi Arabia just announced they'll be upping their output to adjust for the market loss due to Syria, Iran, etc. It's basically what the President requested they do a couple days ago, not that it's necessarily connected but still nice to note. Stocks jumped at the news.
