I notice that stuff too. I also notice a lot of graphics on tv for commercials of brand name products using basic, simple fonts. People talk about how important font selection is all the time, then you see a multi-million dollar (or even billion dollar) corporation using Arial in their...

Timely post on Mashable this morning. I'm sure these were designed by someone pretty high up in the design food chain..... http://mashable.com/2014/09/15/colombian-cycling-uniform/

Rest In Peace Roundman. Very sad news. My thoughts are with his family and friends. I'm sure he'll be greatly missed.

Sure, it's still on. Really, really sad to watch what's happening to Atlantic City. I'm hoping there's a number of greta investors sitting on the sidelines waiting for it to hit bottom so they can scoop up great properties for pennies on the dollars and get those places open again, employing...

Can't you add a new material group? I thought you could add material groups (i.e. Self-Adhesive, Self-Adhesive Hi Ink, Solvent Paper, etc.).

Paul, I've worked on many of those directories over the years. I've pulled them totally apart, rebuilt them, and changed the strip sizes in them. Nelson Harkins has different size strips, so you can replace the smaller ones with larger ones if they fit. If you need them to be longer to...

It's also my understanding that there's at least one major vendor (who's on this forum) who cuts down their own rolls. It might not always be 3M's issue, it might be an issue with your vendor. I also know this vendor doesn't like people to know that they do it (they are essentially buying the...

Ink limits is an option for that media when you profile it. I know where it is in Onyx, but not where it is in Wasatch.

You do realize we all get those same discounts too, right? It's called "Negotiating" and works on supplies and equipment really well.

We use rubber mask for stone, etc, and then use the photo resist masks for glass, etc, and I recently sold a plotter to a guy that was in the granite business and wanted to make masks for sandblasting granite. I told them that it wouldn't cut the rubber mask, took a piece of Oracal 651, stuck it...

I had a customer request for some white vinyl put on glass, they wanted it on the inside, reading from the outside. I told them up front that it wasn't going to be as bright of a white done that way and they were okay with it. I installed it, it looked exactly like I thought it would, kind of a...

I'd use the laminator if it were me.

I spent many years in manufacturing, studying eastern and western manufacturing techniques and process flow. I'm convinced that most anything will work if you use it. The problem where all processes fail is when people don't use them. Index cards work fine. If you use them. Software works fine...

PVC doesn't exactly have the smoothest edge. You're going to have to overcome that some how.

Churches tend to have a huge problem, in that they decide most everything by a committee. That means everything you do will have to be approved by a retired lady that worked as an admin in an insurance company, an engineer from a big company, some woman that is a CPA, or balanced a check book...

Thanks everyone. It's a personal project for an otherwise great customer, a customer that gives us the freedom to do what we want with his stuff. However, he wanted a temporary sign, lasting about 3 months, double sided, and he said he wanted to use "Plywood". I let him know plywood wasn't going...

Can you heat and make IJ-40 conform to rough surfaces at all? I know IJ-180 does good, but I haven't tried IJ-40. Anyone know if it will conform fairly decent when heated. I have a flat panel project on a customer supplied panel that's a lot rougher than I'd like it to be, and they are perfectly...

Just a FYI, this is a 2 year old thread before too much of it gets rehashed.

NBM was the WORST about that. They would sell your info to people. I got contacted by a load of people that weren't at the show we signed up for and people we had no contact with at all. Just suddenly got slammed with calls and junk email. So much so that I contacted the people at NBM and...
