Hello, Happy Signmakers. Can someone please advise as to how I might make a 3-d ribbon for this sign? I was thinking a flat circle for the background image, but my customer may want a full, 3-d ribbon shape. My preference would be a digital print on dibond cut to shape, and let the print give...

Hello, Good People; good customers of mine just came in wanting lettering on a very lightweight canopy backdrop. I am a mostly vinyl shop; I do some painting, not much. I tested it for vinyl adhesion, and that didn't work. It isn't the canopy vinyl itself... it is a backdrop included with their...

Hello, helpful people. I've been in business for 18 years, happily subcontracting my digital printing out. I'm at the point, though, that I am overpaying for small prints, and so I am considering purchasing a small digital printer. Can anyone give me advice as to how to proceed? I've looked at...

Hello, Good People! I need some input... I am a signmaker, but also a Rotarian. We have been working with our City of refurbishing a downtown courtyard. All the groundwork we could do is now completed. The next potential project facing us is a wall mural. The existing wall (120'x60' - ish)...

Hello, Good People; my name is Lynn. I am in a quandary. I've been running my shop for 18 years. I would love to sell it... to see some new energy in here that could take it where I don't have the energy to take it. But... that ain't happening yet, and I don't want to walk away from it, either...

Happy, Happy people! I am not skilled with led lighting (although I'd like to be!). I need some help designing a cool, 3-d lit sign (no, not a backlit cabinet sign) for the attached logo. I was inspired by Dan Antonelli's "KickCharge Creative" sign on the cover of the November/December issue of...

Hello, Happy Designers; I am looking for a good source for images. I like to use vehicle templates, and other artwork for various designs, like we all do. I have been subscribing to Image Club 10, but am becoming unhappy with them. Can anyone recommend good sources for vehicle templates, vectors...

Hello, Good and Helpful People; Happy New Year! I need to replace an old pan face with a new one. My experience has shown that you cannot replace a pan face with flat faced lexan - the lamps show through. Can anyone recommend a company that makes pan faces? Sure... there are many hits on an...

Hello, Good People... I am posting this thread in the Adobe section as well because it is a cross-software issue for me. I subcontract out all my digital printing. I create the files, then transfer them electronically to a wholesale digital printer. I used to work with a fella who apparently put...

Has anyone had any luck dealing with Also Corp? I ordered bright copper metallic wrap film from them. They were the only ones with the color my customer wanted. They charged my credit card for the product, but it took weeks and weeks and much pressuring to receive the shipment. When I did...

Hello, Good People, I am having trouble with FlexiSign 12. I just converted from 18 years of using a Macintosh platform to using Windows (now using Windows 7). Ever since we bought the new computers we've been having trouble with cutting. Sometimes it cuts just fine, and then all of a sudden we...
