  1. Questions about printing backlit sign

    We don't have a lot of call for backlit sign faces, but we have an order for one now. The face will have to be a full print. We have an Epson GS6000. So... are the inks translucent? I guess we'll need translucent white vinyl? What about printing it on clear and applying it to translucent white...

  3. How to create a multipage .pdf from .jpgs?

    I have about 10 .jpg images that I want to put into a multipage .pdf file. I've googled how to do it and I can't seem to find an answer. I've read that it can be done in Photoshop, but not in either version that I have. How do I do it? Thanks!
  4. Need some safety images

    I have searched and searched and cannot find the standard safety image of the guy falling off of a ladder or the one for "safety tie-off" (if there even is one). Does anyone know where to find them? Thanks!
  5. .eps file not an .eps?

    I went to a customer's website to download the .eps version of their logo. It says, "Click here to download .eps version". I click it and it the format is .ps. That's a Photoshop file, right? It's definitely NOT an .eps, unless I'm doing something wrong. Am I? Why do they offer it as an .eps...

  9. Setting defaults: stroke weight and black

    Is it possible to change the default of the stroke weight? The default is 1 point but I would like it to be .25. Also, I would like to change my default black from 0,0,0,100 to 30,30,30,100. Everytime I click black I have to change it. Help anyone? Thanks! oh - I have Illy CS4.
  10. Edge print these? Durability?

    I have a customer wanting some 3.5" x 5" decals and she wants to know the outdoor life, if they're chemically resistant and the maximum temp. She found the ones she wants in online and it lists those specs but she would rather deal with us since we are set up as one of their vendors. Since...

    Is it ok to delete all the .prm files?
  12. Is this a font?

    A customer wants us to recreate this. I immediately thought, "I know that font from somewhere..." and she said she created it herself about 25 years ago. Well, I'm pretty darn sure that there is a font that is at least similar to it. Any thoughts? Thanks!

  15. Ready 2 Print pre-grommeted banners

    I found a thread about this material from 2008 and at that time, most people were against trying it. Well, we got a sample in so I'm going to see how it does. The company has a GUARANTEE that it will not damage print heads, but if it does, they will replace them. Gotta read more about that. So...
  16. Advice wanted on creating design portfolio

    I want to create a design portfolio that I can put on a CD to hand out to potential customers. More for graphic design than for signs. The thing is, I don't have a clue what a professional one looks like or how to create one! I know that I need to show samples of designs, but what about the look...
  17. What happened to this banner?

    I've been in the sign biz for about 20 years and have never seen this happen under the circumstances which it did. These pics are of a banner we made about 3 weeks ago. It's about 2'x6', single sided, printed on the Epson GS6000, hemmed top and bottom, grommets. The banner material brand is...
  18. Explosive Ordnance Disposal logo?

    Does anyone know where to find this logo? Preferrably in vector. I've searched all of the military clipart sites I have. I've tried the "filetype:pdf" search. Tried BOTW. I've already spent too much time looking for it. It's going on an "In Memory Of" decal. She wants it just black and white but...
  19. Perforated Vinyl Profile/Environment?

    I need to print on perforated vinyl, the Solvex 10950 from Fellers. We just got an Epson GS6000 about 3 months ago and I haven't printed on this type of vinyl before. There is no preset environment for perf. Any suggestion on the profile/environment I should use? I did a search here and read...
  20. Anyone heard of Nineblock software?

    http://www.nineblock.com/ Heard of it? I believe it's a plugin for Illy 10 - CS4. It has better handles for node editing. I also think the snap measure thing looks cool. I've never heard of it so I was hoping to get some feedback before I downloaded. Thanks!
