Anyone have an explanation to why this happens. Tried "place" in illustrator and save as pdf. No fix. Tried several file formats from Acrobat Pro & illustrator to no avail. svg, ai, eps, ps, optimized pdf, emf This one I just manually fixed with the shape tool as it was only 1 character.

Salesperson was contacted about making 2 signs. One is to be a 2-3ft square 3mm ACM & 1 4ft x 8ft 3mm ACM. Sample files were provided for verbiage. The 2x2 is a word document & the 4x8 is a pdf file. The 2x2 is pretty straight forward so no problems with the layout. The pdf for the 4x8 comes in...

Looking for the gray "Dignite" part.

Got a request from a client for pop-up banners. Banners are approx. 36"w x 80"h. They have their own art department to create the designs. That's all fine just convert the fonts and save as pdf. Get a call a week or so later from the artist. "How do you want these files sent, they're 2GB" What...

I've created a fillable pdf workorder for our sign shop. Designed in CorelDRAW then saved as pdf. Opened pdf in Acrobat Pro 9 and used the create form option. Added various form fields. We've been using this form successfully for a couple of years now but now something flakey is happening. We're...

I get a lot of 3rd party "print ready" pdf files that really aren't. We never print the pdf's directly, we always import to Corel and check sizes and set up for multiple prints as needed. Trouble is not many "degreed" designers know how to set up a pdf to be cross compatible. i.e. convert fonts...

We've noticed that our HP 360 prints are out of square. Serious problem when making double-sided signs.

email from customer "Is there any way to have 4, 24x36 Monkey board signs printed today?" Best we can figure is an A-Frame sign but this customer has requested "A-Frame" signs before. This is for an event and the sign will be used for parking or rather "NO PARKING". Just haven't heard the term...

Anyone have a tool or trick to removing grommets? I mean a lot of 'em.

I'm not a frequent user of illustrator but as we all know a good sign shop must have it, as well as, several other helpful software. I thought with the latest and greatest version of illustrator that an option to convert fonts on pdf output was added. Do you really have to do it manually? Don't...

I made a design in 2017 that used TimelessMed but now it's gone. As seen when trying to open that file. I've checked my cohorts pc, my network fonts folder, and google searched, no such animal. What gives?

So, our payroll company says we are nonessential. The way I read it we are. We're providing signs for military pertaining to Covid-19. Also providing signs for county sheriff, various city police, food agencies, and local hospitals. We are an LLC. 1 owner and 8 employees. What say you?

I say it's not possible but is there a way to achieve a brighter red when printing to metallic vinyl. Using an HP360 with no white Ink Increasing the number of passes will produce a "richer" red but will also eliminate the effect of the metallic look. We did some vehicle graphics on a couple of...

I just recieved a powerpoint file to revise and print. Powerpoint is the most common program used by the military. It's the only one authorized throughout. Anyway the file comes with 4 slides and a request to combine a 1 slide with 2 others. All of which I don't have a problem with. What I do...

Has anyone come across some blatant salary misalignment? Not necessarily in the sign industry but just in general. This is brought on by my son's recent raise and all the stories I here from my wife and her "crew". My wife has a Master's degree in accounting and has been working with a...

Lost lc printhead on our HP360. I know we can use various profiles that only use CMYK but is there also a way, through, Flexi Print Manager to sub 50% Cyan for lc instead?
