  1. I'm not a magician

    I guess all you can say is THIS WILL COST YOU! Its bad enough when a customer of ours sends in something like that, but when you get it from someone who works in the graphic field, they should have to pay for their stupidity or their customer's.
  2. Employee Medical Insurance

    Our company pays about 60% but it is still expensive for the employee and it goes up every year. If you have an employee or spouse with a serious situation, the cost goes up very quickly. At my age though, I can't be without it.
  3. Purchase supplies local or have them shipped?

    We're in the sticks There are no suppliers within 60 - 70 miles. We get all our supplies either online or by phone orders. We are large enough that most all of our orders come freight paid by the suppliers. Most of our vinyls come from Fellers or Grimco and usually in one or two days tops...
  4. Formata

    Quarkers Gino, Have them export the Quark files as an EPS file. If they have Illustrator or another design package, they should be able to import and then convert the text to outlines. Otherwise, I agree, they should send you the font for use on their projects. We have several customers who do...

  7. Buh-bye Freehand.....

    We have been hearing rumors of its demise for years. Looks like it will finally happen. I haven't used it in several years, haven't needed to. We use Flexi and Illustrator for the most part. Freehand did have some elegance to it sometimes but I have not received a freehand file from a customer...
  8. Describe your "Dream Shop"

    I hope this answers your question Wannabe. Sometimes we just take a different meaning here. By the way, our shop kind of looked like that last summer except the average age was 15 years older.
  9. Help with Combine?? Effect

    Occasionally, I have found going to path direction and selecting automatic will allow you to weld or whatever. Also, sometimes the object will weld still leaving the overlaps showing. Most times, these will be separate objects and can be deleted leaving the image just as you want it. Perhaps...
  10. Ohio signmakers?

    South of Findlay here. Seems I spend a lot of time there(family). Old Paint - I think I have heard the name Merle Strope mentioned before when I have been in town. Just goes to show you the need to be careful. It always gets back to someone you know. Crabby
  11. Just to say hello

    I'm obviously new to the group but not the business. I have been in computer graphics since the old Gerber consoles. Presently we use Flexi Pro and the usual design packages from Adobe. I have been in screen printing since 1976. Seen a lot but there is always something new around the corner...
