This client was equipped to spend the $$ and patience. most client's budget will only allow this

Clients won't spend $$ for art time and employers don't take kindly to time spent on them. Clients want you to use their crappy logo. Clients want something the same day they walk in. For signs in high speed traffic i.e. 55mph the message needs to be much more simple. How about some pics of...

FYI... Eglin Air Force Base McKinley Climatic Lab is used to test various equipment, aircraft, tires etc has a temperature range from −80 °F (−62 °C) to 140 °F (60 °C). 140° F + pvc = tremendous warpage

We're actually about 60 miles from the area. I have family working/volunteering in the hard hit areas. A nephew who works at Publix in town here is driving over to a Publix that has no power and no running water. He's working 14hr shifts.

We've been producing several signs similar to this lately. This one donated.

Agree here. Make sure it's the original and not snagged off facebook or passed through many hands with their own little photoshop/photopaint trickery applied.. Facebook downsamples photos.

Wow, never tried using the weed function in flexi. We only using production manager for printing. All weeds are created in the native program the design resides. All cutting is done from the same native program too.

Yeah we can produce that stuff. Just takes about 10 years.

You can also go Edit/Find and Replace/find objects then step through all the particulars you want to find

take a look at this free macro many more macros available too.

Make it a "fun" font. Make the first letter "Arial 100" and the rest "Arial 110" "Do whatever you think"..."That's not what I wanted at all" "looks purple on my screen, please ensure it's blue" And from a "schooled designer"..."it's already sized" ...uh not!

Ha...as a retired USAF graphic designer, I wrote a view of those "justification" letters. As mentioned always throw in "the mission" and how critical it is to be produce "visual information" in a timely manner. It is that time of year you know. $$ p.s. latex is the way to go if budget allows...

As for regulations and such for signage we don't have any set guidelines here. Only occasionally will we get requests with specific guidelines i.e. Public Hearing signs or major construction zone signage. Other than that "bigger is always better". Short messages, not text heavy. Don't think for...

transparent vinyl with a "double strike" print.

Vector art gets exported as eps UNLESS gradients or pantones are used, then it's pdf. If design is raster, then export as rgb tif with LZW Compression NOT jpg or png.

We use the same setup but different work flow. We set up all our prints and cuts within Corel. When we go to cut we pull up the corel file and use the FineCut plugin to plot. Same if using illustrator too. It's a lot easier to troubleshoot that way too. 1 layer for design, 1 layer for reg marks...

hmmmm...degree? Adobe?

We used to use Rasterlink with our Mimaki. But only used it for managing prints. All cuts were done within Corel using FineCut plugin. We now have an HP and Flexi. But still only use Flexi to manage prints. All plots are still done within Corel using the FineCut plugin.

p.s. Thank you for your service and congratulations from an AF graphic design retiree.

splice in extra material then measure out and ink in your missing reg marks. How would you not have the file saved? We use a different workflow. All our cuts/reg marks and such are created in Corel and saved with the file. We don't use the RIP to set up any cuts. We only use Flexi Production...
