  1. Illustrator equivilent of Helvetica

    Yep. SignLab calls it "Heavy". Just wondering if AI calls it something else.
  2. Illustrator equivilent of Helvetica

    Looking for Illustrator's equivilent of Helvetica...anybody know? After watching the movie "Helvetica"...I found a possible clue, perhaps. I'm going to take a wild guess and say "Switzerland". Thanks, Jim
  3. Helvetica Documentary

    Just dropped it in...looks good.
  4. what do you pay for electricity?

    I've been in the dark for years...it's still expensive. My home-based shop gets rolled into the same electric bill and usually runs $150.00. We do stone engraving and run a 5 HP air compressor daily (220V) and have an electric water heater. We heat 100% with wood.
  5. So... I guess I am getting into screen printing

    Congratulations.... Don't forget to fine-tune the business plan and marketing plan. I think this has been common place across the market...I've seen some stuff on ebay lately that stand testament to this...printers, cutters, and software. A buyer's market for sure.
  6. received a cold call from this guy...real crook

    Ever since I started scanning documents on the scanner, I pitched my fax machine and use the fax on the computer. No extra ink cartridges to buy, and no desk to clutter.
  7. received a cold call from this guy...real crook

    I say you should send them a nice fax. Whip up something in your design program...like FIFTY pages of nothing but solid black...and send it after hours.
  8. Cheesy Franchise?

    Wow...that is a cool franchise. But don't you think everybody looks a little too intense for this setting? After all, it's fondue...sloooow and eeeasy. They look like they've just gone a few rounds with a lobster tail. Something also tells me they're dipping into more than cheese and...
  9. New Problem, Double Cuts

    Double check if you have a "thick line attribute" setting clicked on. Sometimes your program "thinks" it has to cut on BOTH sides of a single line. Imported graphics are notorious for this kind of trouble.
  10. Cheesy Franchise?

    I drove by one of these today http://www.signsbytomorrow.com and since I am becoming educated by the "purists" here, a red flag went up in my mind. I stopped in and acted like a "customer" just so I could get a peek at what they had in the back room. Their window between the work area and...
  11. The great honeybee die-off: Mystery solved?

    I've been a beekeeper for the past 12 years, and for the past ten years, I've been keeping them un-medicated. My survival rates have been a little better than those who have been medicating their bees. Hopefully CCD will become a thing of the past.
  12. Possibly the sickest wrap...

    Ssssssssssweet! I REALLY like it!
  13. Unemployment & Older Workers

    Dang...never thought of that. Perhaps there should be a special AARP thread for those of us who don't care to divulge our competetive edge to the " up and commin' ".
  14. Unemployment & Older Workers

    I read several articles today about how unemployment is being especially hard on those 50 and over. Some reports even indicate that 40 is nearing the age of obsolescence. Obviously, those who were in a manufacturing sector have taken it on the chin (and in the gut)...big time. And it...
  15. Gerber GS15plus

    Yup...what he said. I have a very noisy GS15...I like to think of it as the sound of money being made.
  16. Just a little expression of gratitude.

    Thanks...times a dozen, and then some!
  17. Trailer Layout

    I wanna know why his web site doesn't jive with his business.
  18. SignLab File Save / Open Irritation

    Without doing anything, the file would be saved as "untitled1" or "untitled2", etc...and would be saved into the destination folder where the previous jobs were saved, not the source folder from which the file was opened the job. 99.9% of the time my files are saved under a new file name in...
  19. SignLab File Save / Open Irritation

    I’ve been working with SignLab for five years now and I have a major irritation with how files are opened and saved. Why doesn’t SignLab’s destination (save) folder automatically default to the same folder from which the original file was obtained? Let’s say I open a file, change the...
  20. Calling all Math Wizards....HELP!

    In the flat, the designs all work out perfectly. It's the 3-D world where things get a little funky here. I think I've got it on the run and will chime in later. Jim
