  1. Signmaking is territorial, and that can hurt

    We've lost many clients for the same reason but 9 times out of 10 they come back to us. There's a reason they're under bidding and the client will soon find out.

  3. Difficult Customers

    There are several customers that I've been given a "no contact order" from our sales staff. Guess they don't like hearing the truth. Sorry but you can't fix stupid.

  5. FINECUT *!

    Much the same way in Corel Make a "cut" layer. Set it to no print. Create your cut lines on that layer. Color doesn't matter. When you get ready to cut just hide all layers except the cut layer Select all and hit "Plot Selected" on the Finecut Toolbar We only have FineCut on out RIP station so...
  6. This has to be one of our members.

    I wanted out to ease the burden on my mother. She had enough to deal with. Joined the military and let them pay for my education and got to see the world on their dime too. My son recently moved down from NC and I reluctantly agreed to put him up until he gets on his feet again. Uh... that was 2...

    Did you check the cut file to ensure there wasn't erroneous stuff mixed in the background? i.e. text with not outline or fill set

  9. Proper Measure Tool in Ilustrator

    Multiple layouts on 1 page/artboard. No need for multi page or multi artboards No need to set dimensions of the artboard each time a new doc is started. I can set Corel to start with nothing, start with broadsheet or any other custom size. illy artboard max is 226" x 226"! Are you serious...
  10. Proper Measure Tool in Ilustrator

    Illustrator is not my program of choice for many reasons but dimensions are probably my number one. I would consider this a must have in the sign business. p.s. I use a free macro in corel for this. many other macros too.

  13. Computer to show proofs

    We do a png file for email proofing and also a print for the "job jacket". Png's are smaller than jpg and doesn't usually get rejected by email police. We used to have a company letterhead sheet we'd drop the png onto then send out as a pdf but that went away after upgrading software
  14. Computer to show proofs

    I agree with everyone else. If we do have to do a sit down/over the shoulder guess who is standing over the customer's shoulder. My boss aka the owner of the business. We have a countertop touchscreen monitor that shows samples of work done and also a font list but that's it. We have it setup as...

I know I'm a weekend kind of business guy. I won't stop into a place monday thru friday because I work and can't...
  17. Rant When did this all come about.......?????

    Ever notice how every conversation starts with the person's name? Drives me insane. If there's only the two of you anywhere near and you already know each other why would you start by saying their name? And every time a person gets out of a car they leave the headlights on and the door open...

    Several different fonts were used over the years. Better to know the specific year of the mustang. That emblem appears to be from a 60's model
