So people outside can spy on the riders? Really weird.

The forward slash between the web address and the facebook/twitter icons makes it read like "ilovegrownfoods.com" instead of "grownfoods.com" and I have to look really hard to find the business name/logo but otherwise the wrap looks well done.

How would you even second surface print/install it anyway...

Or just use the one in the start menu, same search, very handy--a lot like spotlight in osX.

Extensis Suitcase Fusion is a good investment if you deal with a lot of fonts, having too many installed is a source of slow downs. Win7 is much better about it than XP was but it's still good practice to use a font manager.

I worked with my wife in the same non-profit for three years, it was fantastic. We're in different companies now but the business I'm in at the moment is led by a husband and wife team, seems to work pretty well for them. It's sometimes a bit weird for me as their son also works here and for a...

Start reading books and blogs on small business marketing, talk to your industry contacts, talk to other small businesses in the area (join the chamber, any district groups, etc.), network network network. Run some minor sales, update your facebook page, start calling clients you haven't heard...

On x10 though that machine is still XP--reprofiled everything, had some major bugs but most have been addressed with updates. Relatively happy, still a lot of things I wish it did but that's another conversation. 16-bit rendering is nice. Haven't noticed a difference in PDFs but we do pretty...

SignBurst is dead on, I don't have any VersaWorks experience but the performance difference in CS4+ on 64bit is significant. You also have access to much more RAM in a 64bit environment, as 32bit windows tops out at 3.5GB of accessible ram--a relatively small amount.

Nobody mentioned Quark, you're going to curse us all! Boo! InDesign is an amazing product worth learning thoroughly. Designers are still in many ways too reliant on using Illustrator for layout which it really isn't intended for and has many drawbacks. The OP should be using InDesign from the...

Pictures, even better. Thanks

There's also Cyrious http://cyrioussoftware.com/ and Estimate http://www.estimatesoftware.com/. There's a few more but I can't recall off the top of my head. I don't really like any of them that are industry specific, but we use Cyrious and it's okay.

Most states are pretty apathetic to recycling and individuals even more so, it's infuriating. Now all the "books" are trying to sell small business people on pre-built template websites and SEO voodoo and it's just pathetic, as they're completely out of their depth in those areas. Doing a ton...

Keep in mind you want to stay working in .ai as .eps doesn't properly support ICC and can sometimes cause problems. Also there are many, many color forums but most are targeted for offset, and those that cover large format tend not to be great. It also gets confusing with the different standards...

Bingo. View at 100% and watch the "problems" disappear (usually). It's just rendering. Same reason you always work at a factor or division of 4, not at 3, when working scaled in any program--to avoid visual rendering issues that aren't actually issues. If you want to avoid that and it's just...

The OPs problems are probably transparency flattening issues, there are a number of work arounds but it depends on the RIP. Converting/preflighting to a PDF standard in Acrobat is a good place to start (I prefer x-4). Onyx is quite good at PDFs now if anyone is looking for a RIP product for a...

Damn, so I should take the deep fryer out of the storage area? Thanks guys.

I keep looking for how I'm supposed to hook it up to my computer but I can't figure it out. And what's with all the paper?

For those of you running flatbeds, how much square footage would you estimate you use for media storage, and do you store flat or on edge (I assume flat?)? Thanks much.

One giant paragraph with insane punctuation and lack of sentence breaks reads like you're a speed addict. That's obviously not the image you want to project but it's how you come across. Rude to call it out? Maybe, no offense intended--a thick skin is useful on the internet. I'm not trying to...
