For several years now I have followed some Apple sites just for curiosity sake. I do own an older iphone and I do like it, but nothing else Apple. Not because I don't want it, but because what I have works fine. When whatever I have needs replacing, I'll consider their products. I think it's...

Yes, me again! I'm TRYING to finish up a job here and I've hit a brick wall mentally. I printed some product from Illustrator to our dye sub printer. The color, when pressed, is exactly what the customer wanted. I just finished data merging a bunch of names and titles in Indesign. When I...

I've been a fan of it since it came out. Love all the references to the 70's in it. And how hot is "Sarah"??????? :flamey: Any fans of it out there? I see it's on life support for another season, so this might be the last season unless something changes. Man, they sure have some hot women...

I have a job on deck and I'm trying to understand how to do this. It's a data merge job, so I'm looking at InDesign. I tested that feature some time ago and I think I understand that, not too big an issue. However, I drew the items in Illustrator when I did samples for the job. It was easy to...

I haven't seen any updates on Arlo (Dave) in a while now. Anyone know how he is doing?

....and I still can't find this one. From the looks of their sign, my guess is someone did it in Word and it's a very common font. Unfortunately, we don't own Word! I could be wrong, it could be something else simple. Any help is greatly appreciated. Whatthefont craps out on it.

Anyone else see Brad Meltzer's show "Decoded" on D.B. Cooper last week (history channel)? I thought they did a really good job tracing down the D.B. Cooper story (in fact, they seemed to have solved it). The guy they believe that was D.B. Cooper(dead now) bought a house shortly after jumping...

I'm sure I didn't call them the right thing, but does anyone have a resource for these? If I was more educated in exactly what they are, I would search better. I'm hoping they ring a bell with someone here.

I know it's super simple, but I can't find a match. It'll probably end up being something like Arial (it's been one of THOSE days!). Thanks in advance!

Just thought I'd bring this up for conversation. I spent many years in manufacturing, many years working through the Japanese production system and eliminating waste, etc. During that time, I had come from the background that you need to track every thing. I had that background because we always...

I have a question regarding designs, and the ethics behind many of these posts. Here's what frequently happens- Member A : Here's my design, what do you think? (looking for suggestions to improve). Member B : Try this....(puts up a design of their own showing other options). Member A...

Barber on here was kind enough to give us his old HP Designjet 3500CP that had been in storage for some time. We brought it back, turned it on, and immediately noticed the belt was dry rotted and coming apart. So we got a new belt, and after disassembling a great deal of things, we managed to...

I'm looking for a supplier for a simple frame. I know I can find a shop and have one cut and welded, but I'm hoping to find someone that sells them for a living so I don't have to find a shop and go through all that, then getting it painted, etc. I'm talking about a simple, 2" or 3" square...

We took a pdf file for our plotter to Kinkos to have printed and bound. They provide the file in pdf format, no hard copies available. The guy at Kinko's opened the file and would not print it without my guy signing a "hold harmless" agreement. He didn't sign it because he didn't know enough...

Interesting article about apps in the WSJ on this. It shows some of the popular applications and what data they gather and SEND to other companies. Pay attention to those that are gathering your contacts, as well as those that are gathering your username and password and sending to other...

I have a job right now that the customer ordered. It's a several 24" x 18" panels, 1/2" thick. The backs are covered with VHB tape, the thin kind. Thought it would be a simple install. Just lay it out as discussed, stick them to the wall, and we'd be all done. However, once we got there, the...

I have a quote package I'm doing and I'm trying to do a much better job in presenting the package than I have in the past, so I thought I'd save it out of Illustrator as a PDF, each artboard being 1 page, 10 pages total. It's renderings of signs, 8" or so square. I drew them all full scale...

When you are in public and you take a bite from a sandwich and the bread gets stuck on the roof of your mouth and you can't get it unstuck with your tongue. I HATE that!

I'm just getting into dye sub work and I'm using some drop shadows on text to give them a little depth, using Illustrator for everything. However, if I make the drop shadow go down and to the right, if I mirror the graphic to print (needs to be pressed to show it the right way), then the...

Greeting all. I have a request for a blank sign to go into the face of a box that's backlit. The bulbs are burned out, so they have no light while the blank will be installed. I've done a couple of these for customers at this location, that had names on them, and I used white acrylic and painted...
