I should know this one, but i can't put my finger on it. It's the "Circleville Pumpkin Show" font.

Hey folks - I'm afraid that I may already know the answer to this question, but I'm gonna ask it anyways :thankyou: In photoshop, you can use the bevel effect to get really nice "prismatic" lettering. Is there a way to do this in Illy as well, without having to physically DRAW all of the...

OK. Just had one of the creepier experiences of my sign making career... Old guy walks in. Has to be at least 70. Looks like he should be driving a non-descript panel van. Says to me "Listen...I need a banner. I'm thinking a 2'x8'". I happen to have a 2'x8' up on the wall, so I point to it and...

OK - The other day I realized that it has been more than a month since I just picked up a sketchbook and a pencil, and drew something. That's ridiculous! So, I went and bought a new sketchbook and I will be filling at least one page/day from here on out. Thought I'd share the results here and...

Just finished installing a sign for a customer (PITA, BTW - the sign, not the customer). Sign is top to grade, 13'. It's a 5'x10' sign. The customer's old sign was a 2 piece with a 4'x8' flex change letter board. They didn't want to buy new lettering, so it came down to putting flex channels...

Hey everyone! Long time - no type :) Been away from the site for a while - just been too busy to devote much time here...Hopefully that will change soon. In any event, I'm hoping that you smart people can give me a solution - i want to make sure I'm doing this right. Long story short - i have...

OK - Here's my dilema - and I know there is probably an easy answer, however i've not ever tried this before with Polymetal/Dibond. I've got a sign completely made out of 6mm Polymetal. It is 3'x6', or at least the panel is. This panel has a full digital print piece laid down on it. I need to...

Trying to find someplace I can buy the template for a 2003 Lincoln Aviator without buying a $3k package. Anyone have a source, or one that they've made themselves that they are willing to sell?

Well, I thought it might be fun to do a blog about my stay at Sign World 2010. I'll put posts in this thread. Hope you enjoy!

Am I the only one? If not, is there some kind of Signs 101 get together planned? Gino? You've got the 'refreshments' covered, right?

Hey everyone! High School football season is finally over for us (just missed the playoffs), so life is starting to return to normal - which means that I have time for things OTHER than coaching, eating, sleeping, and frantically trying to keep up around the shop!!! I'll be hopping back into...

OK - here's the scoop. Dog grooming shop. Originally wanted to do a very cool dimensional piece for these people. They were stoked about it. Then, decided "nope - we can't spend the money". So, now we are down to 3'x8' polymetal panel sign with digital print. I've come up with a layout that I...

Hey all - this is an easy one and I'm totally stumped. Need the font used for "Implement Co."

Does anyone know if there is some type of plug-in for Adobe products that lets you "categorize" your fonts? I'd like to get away from the alphebeitcal listing of the 3000+ fonts on my system, and instead categorize them into different groups. That way i don't have to sift through hundreds of...

Been having this intermittently over the last couple of days. Moving the shop today and tomorrow, and figured this was a good time to get it fixed. Is this caused by a dirty encoder strip? If not, what is it caused by?

OK - let me preface this by saying that I am ONLY having this issue with gloss banner material. Not with any of my vinyls, or with matte banner. See the attached picture. The streaks (which look like head strikes, but that makes no sense) are running perpendicular to the platen. Any idea what...

First - ANY help would be appreciated :) I have decided that there can be no more waiting in revamping our website. After a lot of research and deciding what the goals for the site were, I decided that building the site on top of Wordpress was the right choice. After some more research, I...

OK all you painters....You've gotten a few of us fired up to start learning. I've ordered a couple of books, and am trying to find some old Speedball books as well. Now, here's the question - If you were putting together a beginners painting kit, what would need to be in it?

Anyone here fit the bill, or know someone you trust and would recommend? PM or call me at 740-420-9490.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a bulk/refillable ink solution for the 1304? I thought I had found one, but the company got off on the wrong foot with me in a big way - when you tell me something on my first order and then you don't do it - I get red flags.
