  8. garbage rant!!!

    So last night I went out there and emptied all the romaine into the bin so I could get the boxes out as they were just thrown in and eating up way to much space. I brought the boxes inside and will cut them down and then jam them back in. This morning I open the bin and find 2 more boxes...
  9. Am I the only one?

    I always see trucks driving around town and I really hate Arial and figure so many people use it because it is probably the first San Serif font that pops up in whatever software they design in. What I really dislike about the font are the numbers. No matter what the kerning of the number 1 is...
  10. garbage rant!!!

    I am not sure in the US how your garbage rates are but up here I think they are way too high. I have a 4 yard container and pay $55.00 a dump. Considering what we throw away and how fast it can fill up that seems to be a lot of $$$$. The rant is this weekend I came in on Saturday morning...

    Can you run a system restore and go back after the program was installed?
  12. a simple question...about borders on signs going into frames...

    I put a blank in the frame to see and as I thought the frame does not cover the blank evenly and that now makes me wonder if they differ frame by frame... I sent her a quick mock up showing the frame covering the thick border..... as I said it really is a non issue, but borders in steel frames...

    yea I know, but that would require math!!! lol
  14. a simple question...about borders on signs going into frames...

    I know this is a pretty lame question considering I have been in business for over 25 years, but I don't think I have come across this in all that time. So I have some interior designer who ordered 20 - 2 post frame signs... I now get the artwork and it has a 1" orange border around the...

    I use UHMW 1/4" sheets. The stuff lasts a long time and then you can flip it. Not cheap but well worth it.
  16. Magnet Material- Gloss Or Matte?

    I was thinking the same thing as I am sure the vinyl used on magnetics is anything but cast...Maybe a premium calendered is the best to use.

    Got it working on the 2nd try. Now I know it seems to have something to do with those wire connections with the tabs that connect to the boards...not sure what they are called. is there a spray I can use that would help the connections?
  18. edge le acting up again

    Every couple of months my Edge LE, if let sitting turned on, but idle will start beeping. I generally set it on the side and open the panel and push the boards in and tinker around with any connection I can find. 1, 2 or 3 tries and it eventually behaves and gets back to work. I now notice...
  19. Best Etched Vinyl

    I find that 3M has done a great job of making their etched vinyl a spec item by architects..... how do you break the spec when they expect 3m? I have no idea why you would be getting bubbling but that is disturbing since I have a rather large job coming up that needs to be that particular brand....
  20. why does Signlab 8 do this?

    I know that with Signlab 8 when you import an eps file a dialogue box opens and gives you options on how to open the file. In the beginning since I was opening an eps file I naturally clicked EPS option and those symbols showed up...I originally thought it was part of the file and asked...
