Went from a 2 person design department to managing 5 other designers over the last ~15 years, here's my 2c While you're small/if you are sticking with 1-2 people, go with the personal license (but the business should be paying for them) Sign up for both (or at least the one you need to add) with...

Also the artist that designed it draws these out by hand you can see it in their other work https://99designs.com/profiles/gam21?page=2

I've had to patiently explain this to clients SO MANY TIMES. We had a very large property management/development company decide they wanted to design everything "in house" with their brand-new graphics team. They have sent us Pool Rules signs with braille on 3 sperate properties now. I don't...

Not printing on the photopolymer sheets, this was just talking about printing on the negative films. And yeah, the braille is still sharp, the "recommendation" from the manufactures is just to paint it over and over to "round the edges". We've never been flagged for it, but in more strict areas...

Canon IPF 9400, we have two in house for running regular color prints and it seems to work fine for the films. We're going to test with our latex and UV printers too to try and see if there is any difference.

What material is the desk? (wood, stone, painted) If it's stone then VHB/Silicone is a decent option, they will hold up quite a bit of weight and while a pain to the remove, if done carefully wouldn't result in any damage.

I know there aren't a lot of photopolymer producers on this site but still figured this was worth sharing. So our company originally got into photopolymer sign making via Jet USA (a company that I don't believe exists anymore) at that time we were told that films for developing photopolymer had...

these are both close but I don't think either is right https://creativemarket.com/IM.Studio96/16530521-Andesta https://www.ffonts.net/bellania1.font.download

For the record, they've decided to fix this because enough people complained about it. According to the reps I talked to they removed the feature because it was "too dated" There is also a serious glitch with the braille in Flexi 24 - if you ask a rep they will give you a copy of 22 to use until...

*I still don't know how to actually delete comments woops*

Most of the time no, they can request a specific material and we'll try to get it even if it is outside of our usual stock but for vinyl I don't think we've ever let someone bring in media aside from our contract installers who know what they need to bring. The rare times we do accept it from...

We have a different mimaki so I'm not positive if yours will let you do this, but what you are trying to do is "composite printing". If you save multiple copies of your file (one with all the colors, then one with just the orange) you can composite the files together into one print within...

I'd say the business name is the highest priority, even with "Count on Us!" the majority are just going to look up it up online, not call directly - millennial (don't worry though, we'll never be able to afford houses either)

Could also be the print itself. we've had this issue on hardhat decals before (lots of little circles tiled up on a sheet) take a ruler and measure the exact distance between the registration marks on your print, then compare to the file. Sometimes the printer will skew/stretch the print and...

reflective vinyl can mess with the way the sensor reads registration marks, if it is only happening on that material it might be worth printing some extra reg marks on plain white stock and applying them to your print before trying to register it.
