I have a rush job on some aluminum letters. Typically we'd order from Gemini, but their turn around time has much to be desired. Anyway, I can get flat-cut letters from 1/4" "alloy mill finish aluminum" in a few days. My question is should we clear coat the letters for outdoor use? If so, what...

Help! Our plotter isn't working this morning... the carriage is stuck in the right-most position, we are unable to slide the carriage with the rollers up. When we try to reset, the plotter give us a "Y-Position Error." Yesterday we had a problem with deep cuts, I think because the teflon strip...

Can someone help me find a vendor for a similar bracket to the one attached? I'm sure my local welder can make one for me, but I was hoping someone knows of a great wholesaler. Thanks!

I have a client who requested we install "non-neon" along his store front. We have samples of this in our shop, and its a pretty cool product. The problem is he doesn't think the red is "red enough" for his facade, so he asked if we could get it in a different color red. Do you know of any...

the other part of their logo is another edited font, so I'm having a hard time coming up with this one assuming its not the original design.

I have a job where the client loves the look of Polished Stainless steel, but the price for fully fabricated letters is too high for him :( Can I cut the design out of both rigid gloss PVC and Polished stainless steel, and them glue them together for added dimension? Do you think it will...

I have a job where the client needs changeable panels on a stucco wall. I want to use those screw receiving insert thingys but I don't know what they are actually called and my google-fu is lacking today. Specifically, I'd like a 3/4" deep, stainless steel piece that I can drill a hole and...

I have a client who sent me a file. When I sent her back a jpg proof, she says "the color is too dark." :banghead::banghead::banghead: This person is a graphic designer / art director. I literally sent her back the file that she sent me, I just exported as a jpg. I don't know what to do. I...

I want to punch two different "wholesale to the trade" print companies near me in the FACE. Why? Because one of them claims to be "Wholesale Grand Format Digital Printing for the Trade" and they show their detailed pricing on their website... & I'm quite positive they will sell at those prices...

I need to make a temporary wall that includes a way to access the area behind the wall. The opening is 152"x94", and I can use whatever I want, as long as as economical. I was thinking of making a wall out of pipe fittings, and attach banners to it, but I'm not sure how we could include an...

I'd like to take a vector logo and superimpose it on a textured background... But instead of it looking like a solid vector, i'd like it to look more like it was originally painted on the textured surface. I tired using the transparency tool, but it didn't come out as well as I think it can...

I'm searching for a douchy font. Think Bleeding Cowboy, but I'd like to use it with cut vinyl. I need something that screams meat head / frat boy. This is obviously not my style or forte, but I do what I can to make my customers happy. thanks :)

That is what a competitor is charging a square foot for storefront window perf, INSTALLED. And it wasn't even a large area, it was two 52" square panels. Why do people do this to themselves and to us. :banghead:

A local town is requiring a stamped Engineer / Architect drawing before we can install a polymetal panel on the stucco facade of a building. I'm a little speechless about how brainless this is, particularly when the official noted "wind load" on the application. At the last trade show I went...

I have a client who needs to replace a bunch of banners that were sent to him from the parent company with a major misspelling... I don't have it in hand, but he sent me a picture of the back. Banner background is blue, and the front has mostly white graphics with a small bit that is red...

I'm looking for a referral for wholesale sidewalk barrier stands. & I would like something where I can make the sides/walls in-house. Thanks!

You know when you go to a colorful parts of town, there are often bodegas or delis with big menu boards featuring images of each of the item they sell... Like sandwiches, chicken wings, eggs, etc. Where do those images come from?!? I know I can search for them on sites like 123rf and...

I have Corel X5, and we always have problems importing or opening PDFs that were originally designed in Adobe InDesign CS5. I right-click on the downloaded file, and "open with CorelDraw." This particular file has editable fields and multiple pages. When I try to open the entire file, a...

Ugh. Help identify please. thank you!

I'm the first to admit that I'm not that skilled in Photoshop. I only know PS basics because we use always use CorelDraw for layouts and design. A client had their "designer" send me a photoshop file of the artwork they want printed. Of course its not proportionately scaled, so I have to...
