$500 tool for imprecise measurements? seems legit. square-on photo, and a measurement reference, and I'm already more accurate than the +/- 3% phone app. No need to climb ladder in photo above, bricks are ground level and can be used for scale. And then use it to find dimension of the siding...

yeah, i hate these jobs but there's good money to be made if able to keep on top of it.... never fails, however, that verbiage in the contract will ALWAYS hang you with extras. never be the low bidder, its a trap.

yeah, the reflective material is diffusing/refracting the light to the sensor and confusing it.... i just apply a piece of tape over the registration marks and trace the marks on top with a black/blue solvent ink pen or fine tip sharpie. the bigger the piece of tape the better, as you'll need...

possible outgassing, as stated above, BUT could be as simple as too much tension on laminate feed....stretching the laminate as it applies, and then wants to curl-back when contour cut.

+1 to suggestions above, but figured I'd chime-in that themepark signs just screams Sawatzky's Imagination Corporation.

I'm curious why any student wouldn't also inquire ...why their professor isn't working as a designer :) pay well and you'll attract good employees, pay good employees well and you'll retain great employees, but don't tell me you're a good enough employee to pay well if you expect me to take...

capitalism has its perks. its your right to offer employment opportunities, his right to refuse your offer, but he'll soon learn how many jobs are available for kids with visual communication degrees and may reconsider if position is still available. colleges are to blame for inflating...

lol, click-bait'd. thanks for playing :) it would have to be one hell of a day for me to wanna come on a font forum to argue. pretty sure the sign community agrees: script < papyrus < comicsans < all other fonts

we use Indeed and our resources with the unions, although we have a couple employees that originated from a temp agency about a decade ago... but the dozen or so other employees we've hired from temp agencies over the years were either awful or noshows. Would not recommend temp agency route, as...

i stick to ~20sq.ft range, but will push it upwards to 4x8's in a pinch.... but anything greater than 20sqft I go with poly or flexface.

maybe the printers' onboard ethernet card is your bottleneck?

cat5 cable/ethernet card?

which direction do they appear? parallel the carriage axis or the feed axis? the former typically being ink starvation, and the latter an encoder strip/sensor issue. if its a gradient rendering/profile-thing, it could be confirmed by recreation of the issue when printing at rotation

bought our 3000 series MultiCam nearly 20yrs ago....still going strong. best deals on them are buying used, as I just bought a used 6'x12' one that came with blower for the vacuum hold-down for $32k, but you would have to know how to look under the hood to determine if someone is just unloading...

+1 Gino's advice. feels like a rabbit-hole of cleaning to make it look "right" dibond panels with graphics, big enough to cover existing stuff, and bolt it on. upsell it as a setup for future revisions that would only require new vinyl overlays, but at a fraction of the cost to restore &...

wow. dead nuts at 130% horizontal u da man!

Prove me wrong, and I would wholeheartedly agree. Any ideas?

son of a.... been wanting white ink option for ages but just got into a new 365 last summer! still eyeballin' the R-series but hot damn ida snatched up on the 700w in a heartbeat to replace my 26500

grimco's always been fast to credit claims. never had an issue with them, especially if you contact your sales rep directly.

plot the letter pattern and hand-mark the stud targets by placing letters with studs on paper. if you can get the letter aligned and simple press on it, the studs will dent the paper enough for you to highlight/draw with a pen
