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...

I've done pretty well using whatthefont and the "suitcase fusion shuffle" to match existing typefaces in the past, but I've been recently researching software upgrades and came across "Font Genius" software (extensis) that's supposed to do the same thing as whatthefont, except it only matches...

got a project coming up that a design firm has spec'd part of it to include LuciteLux acrylic. "polar white 030" specifically. have had no response, yet, from the producer in regards to distributors and figure I may as well raise the signs101 material gurus for any recommendations. Anyone...

thought this'd be easy but now I'm at a loss: (matching an existing panel that was made by someone else, and now I've gotta make a rendering to send out to client/screen printer TODAY!.... grrreeat)

Sheep crossing? Sheep Cycling? SHEEP CYCLONE? (<--youtube video link)

Curious if anyone has had any experience with this and some insight to potential pitfalls I should avoid if I do go this route: For half the price of a single toner cartridge replacement, I can have 4 refills and chips to reset my current toner cartridges. That being said, I'm debating...

thought this was worth sharing :) (Confetti Death by Miami-based TYPOE, made from shards of spray paint caps)

quick flip for a sign spinner at the mall. appears to be a font, but I can't find it. any ideas?

anyone ever seen this? everything but the adhesive is shredding away from the window in spotty sections. We originally did this wrap 3 years ago, 3M-180C-10 with Clear Focus Perforated graphics/laminate. Way beyond warranty, client is paying for me to replace the window graphics, but I just...

Community kills it on the Xmas episode this year! Christmas cheer, and apparently "Glee", is infectious... Abed, is recruited by Glee club. then Abed recruits Troy, a Jehovah witness, to celebrate christmas then Abed and Troy recruit Pierce then Pierce recruits Shirley. while Annie recruits Jeff...

hopefully not a duplicate thread, but came across this and thought it was a pretty slick idea :) curious if its exhaust fumes or a built-in fog machine, bonus points for the former.

Client asks if I can make a sign for her to match a neighboring sign's font. She was blown away that I was able to say, off the top of my head, "Times New Roman, Bold, You bet I can!"

client has one of those fold-able mult-isection tradeshow booths with "velcro-receptive panels" and wants us to put graphics on it. My initial thought is to use a thick polystyrene and velcro, but are there other options for solvent digital printing media that any of you prefer?

just installed a wallpaper mural with dimensional lettering/mounted plaques and now the client wants options to put a "protective" clear plexi panel over it. apparently a 4' x 12' sheet of 1/4" plexiglass is a custom order and requires a minimun qty. from every supplier I could think to call...

Racine's finest on the phone, catching two guys trying to load 500lbs of scrap steel from our yard into the back of their truck. They're excuse to the police? "We work for the guy" ...luckily that's not a good enough excuse for a police officer at 1am, when their truck clearly has more rust...

Great... installing an illuminated drive-thru sign and interior menu on MONDAY and they're opening WEDNESDAY and just NOW my client tells me that the drive-thru speaker system from the old restaurant (that they told me they HAD) was recently taken by the previous owner. anyone know where to...

Client sent me files for print, but have no idea what they exported it with... I can rebuild the layout using their 11x17 printout and the pictures provided, but would rather open it with the software they used to design it in the first place. Any ideas? photos are of the CD contents and a...

Been using Ultralon FlexFace material for years and now having trouble finding a source for 16'6"+ x 50'+ rolls in a pinch. Looking for alternatives/suggestions. (50' tall pylon sign with 16' x 20' illuminated cabinet, double-sided) i usually try to make the existing signage materials work for...

after chasing reoccurring ink supply issues, I have to assume that the problem is within the head. My test prints come out clean, after long soaks manually drawing on a syringe from the waste line (at which point I hear the distinct sound of air escaping somewhere within the head carriage), but...
