86- It is a omega. Not selling the business.

So Im getting out of the sign biz, and I'm selling my gear to a fellow sign guy / friend and I want to be sure I'm in the ball park on asking price. I'm selling it all together: Roland SP540 with take -up system (older, but has been serviced & works like a champ) Royal Sov cold 65" laminator-...

Snyder- Yup those are our designs too.. (but not the website itself) And CPTCORN- the weathers' been pretty darn good, Highs in the 70's, no complaints.

Thanks Guys... In response.. to jiarby yes The light house is a local landmark in Jupiter,Florida. Unfortunately, we just got word that the client rejected this design, and just wants to stick with the layout they used the last three years ( that we did) ... oh well, cant win 'em all.

Havent posted in a while, thought I share a layout were working on. These will be used as tickets/ vendor badges ( hang around the neck laminate, like at a trade show) Not quite done yet. What do you think?

960 is the magic number

Drag your vector into the brush palette (window > brushes) Create a new pattern brush. Click OK ( twice) Create your circle or rectangle, then click on the brush you just created as the stroke.

Here's the trick... ( i have the exact same setup but no heat) Take the rolled prints from the take up system straight to the laminator. Leave the print on the roll and feed it through. I have laminated well over 100 linear feet without a problem.

If i'm going to be away for more than an hour or so I shut down... set to automatically sleep after 10 min. ... why keep a hard drive(s) spinning 24/7... that's just a waste.

Veer - Istockphoto - GettyImages ... sometimes we hire a photographer.... otherwise If your not looking for something photographic, chances are you can find a photoshop tutorial on how to make it yourself.

sweeeet!

I'll drop some science....

hola.

Yeah - The sarah script thing is pretty popular lately. I had a customer wanting the same look as Hydro's. I came up with this. It can be a little labor intensive to modify fonts but sometimes the results are worth the effort.

Take up reel is worth every penny! I went a few years without and wish I had bought it when I started. Unattended printing is gold. Make money while you sleep,literally.

a 48" by 240" @75 dpi reduces down to a 4.1 mb jpg. You don't need any more resolution than that to get a great print.

You need to learn to place more value on the design and not just the signs you make. Flame nailed it... If you give away your design work your telling your customer that it's not worth anything at all.

Uncompound is what you need.

Nope- No issues- just make sure your network settings ( password, etc) on the mac are the same the pc's and that's it. Its really pretty easy. I exchange all the common files ( ai. psd, eps pdf flexi jpg etc) between operating systems without any problems.

We have 4 mac pros and two PC's in my shop. No network problems whatsoever. True type & Open Type fonts work on both platforms. I actually have windows installed on my mac and it runs great..but then again I only use it for a few things like checking what a web page will look like in a pc...
