  1. Intimidated by new competition

    So in effect, you're saying it's a graphically striking building but the business it represents is illegible, making it ineffective. That would put it on par with most of the vehicle wraps I see. Lots of flash and bells and whistles, but 5 seconds after the vehicle is gone nobody can remember...
  2. matching color from a photo

    The other issue, once you start sampling the color in RGB, will be that the color in the photo is not one uniform color but a blend of lots of colors that are close. They'll vary because of lighting over the object's contours. So if you sample one pixel you'll get one color, while the...
  3. Check the Price of ACM before you bid

    Another plant nearby is the US Steel mill in Granite City, IL that reopened this year.

That is the conclusion that...
  5. Check the Price of ACM before you bid

    The argument is actually valid. The suppliers use the tariff as an excuse to jump their prices by far more than the price increase of the raw material.
  6. Intimidated by new competition

    Must be a franchise? Their website says they are a screenprinter in Orlando, FL that also does wraps and signs. Quote from their "About Us": Custom Signs: Although we do not advertise as a sign company, Hittn’ Skins has the capability to produce all types of signsfor both indoor & outdoor use...
  7. Warehouse Sign - How should I make it?

    If their current sign lasted 10 years, it most likely wasn't printed. So if color gradients or photos are not part of the design, and the customer is expecting 10 year life, don't print it. Use cast cut vinyl. As to how the current sign is made, get on a ladder or a lift and go see. That's the...
  8. Need Help Cleanroom Signs

    If you do a google search for cleanroom signs, it looks like the vast majority out there are screenprinted polystyrene .010" or .015", selling for about $7. Some are vinyl decals to stick on glass or walls.
  9. Deco font

    Thanks. Absolutely none of the search sites got that one.
  10. Deco font

    Cannot get any font matcher to identify this one. Anyone?
  11. Need Help Source for blank plaques

    Thanks. Already tried jds. Gravostore doesn't have it on their website but I emailed them.
  12. CorelDRAW 2018 - Thoughts?

    Pretty sure all the fills are there, under the fill tool. You may have to do some searching for specific fills, or even copy them from your X6 disk to a folder in the computer to use them.
  13. Need Help Source for blank plaques

    Anyone know of a source for the oval blanks for this plaque? It's small, 3½" x 4½" x ⅜". The plate with the raised number and braille is separate and stuck on top. We just need to find a source for the base plaque. We can do custom routing, but a manufactured piece might be cheaper if it's...
  14. Font ID?

    Both are Impact.
  15. best material for full colour print on white plexi?

    If your translucent vinyl is off-white in color, try a different brand. We use Avery translucent white and it is very white. For the best color both daytime and when lit from behind, print the sign on clear and on the translucent, and mount the clear to the face first, then the translucent...
  16. Billboard/banner markup

    Even at 4 times that supplier cost, the billboard is grossly underpriced. When we painted billboards we charged more than that and the result was nowhere near as pictorially perfect. You're talking about an advertising message that is placed in a high traffic area and broadcasts the advertising...
  17. Font ID please

    It's Blippo Bold, using some of the letter variants.
  18. LED Box Sign Hot Spots - Diffuser Ideas?

    Around here I lose bids all the time because I bid pan faces for a sign made for them. The winner invariably puts in flat. Love being able to count the number of fluorescent bulbs still working without opening the cabinet though...:p
  19. Software Help CorelDraw x4 reinstall?

    You can't reinstall it until you've uninstalled it. If "repair" was available as an option, it hadn't been uninstalled yet.
  20. CorelDraw: Back of Layer Question

    I just tried doing what you are asking about. I can do the move up/down both by right clicking in Object Manager and using the mouse to click on the up/down or by selecting the object in Object Manager and just using the keyboard shortcut to do what I want.
