Watch the console box after you click Open to see if it imports the file or not. Sometimes if the file contains errors, you will see a brief error message there.

Your easiest solution is to deal with "cannot connect to the computer with the files". People think networks are voodoo, but they are not. When you cannot connect, it is because somewhere the permissions, passwords, domains (if any), etc. are not set correctly.

The installer we used to rely on for electric sign installs has gone out of business. I have a job to swap out some flex faces and possibly relamp with LED's vs. replace fluorescents. Anyone near me interested? We're at Lake of the Ozarks.

When the box costs more than the item going inside it...

Wait...you mean your franchisor didn't teach you stuff like this?

Of course, when you make your pattern, be sure to set the bottom of every letter on a baseline, even the round ones. That way your installation will match most of the ones I see around here, like inside Wal-Marts. ;)

It's Berthold City, the regular font, slanted. Perfect match, even the bad kerning.

I note that the OP has in their profile they haven't been in business very long. I would submit that he needs to practice his vinyl installing skills, as most newbies have pretty much limited themselves to wraps and wrap vinyl. When dealing with reflective graphics, or any cut vinyl graphics for...

The polycarbonate Grimco sells comes in coils, so it is available in any length you want. However they may be limiting it to 12' because of the length of the delivery truck. The 15' piece you want wouldn't be easy to rewind into a coil. You should try talking to your branch representative and...

It might be a png file that someone renamed as a jpg. Try copying it to a new name, with .png as the extension. Then see if it works in AI.

Can anyone identify the font used for the hashtag on this?

Are you sure the requirement is for it to be on the sign and not the building? Seems like somewhere the two are getting mixed up. We have requirements for the 911 address to be on the building, but not on business signs which are mounted on poles out in the yard.

We use the high tack for everything. If you're putting application tape on large prints rather than lettering, a low tack may be preferable.

Your sign supplier will have a "standard" inexpensive application tape. It will do OK for most jobs, especially in-house jobs. If you are making decals for customers to take or for you to take to installations, you may have better results with something like R-Tape's RLA-4075 which has "release...

I don't think that model has kiss cut.

I've never found font management software to be useful. Its original purpose was to keep your computer from crashing with too many fonts installed. That's from the days when RAM was measured in megabytes. As a categorization/browsing tool, I find it un-useful.

I have a couple of Wacom intuos 4's. I hardly use them because I just cannot get that comfortable with them. When I have to do freehand shape drawing (once in a blue moon) I pull it out. But I find it very cumbersome to do point to point vectorization with the pen and tablet. The mouse button...

We usually install aluminum composite panels with truss washer lath screws, which have a very low profile head. I find that with a predrilled 1/16" hole to start them, I can screw them right into cinderblock. The screw head isn't invisible or completely flush, but it's much smaller than the big...

Never heard of it before. I looked at their website. Odd that they put LSE adhesive on it, since the laminate doesn't go on the bike itself.

They might or might not have an issue with the font you chose for the business name. Making up a different web address will only work if you can also convince them to buy that domain and point it to their site. You can easily add a facebook icon (check the facebook rules on its use, and also to...
