We have used this place called SignCovers.com a couple of times. Talked to the owner once and he said he built the company because he got tired of not being able to find anyone who can make them right.

The general manager here is trying to sell this guy on a sign and canopy. He is thinking he will build the canopy from scratch because all the premade ones we've found the client doesn't really like. Was wondering if anyone knows of a place that builds them or at least can fabricate the skeleton...

Can I print this so we can show it around the office? This is hilarious. I may hang one up in my office.

its going to be printed at 24" xx 36"

I feel like though that as a designer if I am starting with a digital photograph to turn it into a poster for the proud parents of baseball players that I wouldn't lower the quality of the photo. Why go from a 300 DPI digital photo to a 72 DPI poster. I printed a small section of it and am not...

I thought I understood DPI and what was needed for printing, but for some reason this job I am working on is making me feel like I don't. We are just going to print these baseball signs for a school and the design was done by someone else. When I got them I brought them up in Photoshop and...

sorry i didn't make myself very clear I do know to make the faces bigger. I mostly meant the shape. And it doesn't look as if we will ever get our bender working. The hardrive is shot to the computer is shot and even if we got another computer that runs XP can't get the software. We will just do...

Its a 410. I think I remember that part about thinking you had done it wrong until you hit select contours when i first tried to learn it before the computer gave out. :)

From what you are saying if we ever get our Accubend to work (probably won't though) we should clean up the file set it for bending then you use that same file for backs then use it for faces. That should be the order everything is done in. This is information I didn't know and will be very...

Do you ever find the software. We are in the same boat as well. Needing Accubend software for Windows XP version. Just wondered if managed to get it or if you found a solution.

Yeah I don't know why they wanted me to do that either when they have been doing by hand up till now. I appreciate your input on this I am just confused. I think they are doing it by hand now just not happy about it. My fault I guess.

Since our Accubend doesn't work for this one big job with several clouds and letters my boss outsourced the bending to another sign company. Since I didn't really have any experience with creating the file all I could send them was the .eps file of the same vector I used to cut the backs on our...

Our guys have been bending by hand. Doing a good job of it too. I wish it was power supply that was the fix for the AccuCut. No the computer was just freezing up then when the Accubend pinged it computer couldn't answer and that was the end of the job. Computer guy looked at the computer and...

So our computer that was attached to the Accubend 410 decided to quit working. We are trying to find a replacement problem is that it has to have Window XP and the port to attach it to the Accubend (don't know what the port is called). Computerized Cutters had a guy that was going to build one...

I do this with a lot of the small lettering for any vinyl. Especially for the little door plaques on hotel rooms and such. I sort of just figured out how to do it since I had like zero training, but when I did I was like why didn't I think of this before!
