  1. Ever experience this before?

    I've heard it's a good idea to put it in your shopping cart and then don't buy it. Come back the next day and it'll be cheaper.
  2. PVC For Outside

    I talked to the factory rep once about it and he said very specifically not to use Komatex outside. He explained why but I couldn't accurately tell you why. It had to do with the cellular structure and make up of the PVC. He said the Komacell was engineered to withstand UV, but UV would break...
  3. PVC For Outside

    I believe the manufacture says Komatex isn't an outdoor product. Their outdoor product is Komacell. Komacell has a really slick face, where Komatex has a slight texture, if I remember right.
  4. Heads up Memorial Day deal.

    Most of the stuff on there is vector.
  5. Heads up Memorial Day deal.

    Just a reminder for those that signed up for the 7 day trial that once your trial is up, they bill you for $50 a month without giving you any reminder emails. Today was my 7th day, I didn't want to keep the subscription and I logged into my account only to notice they had already invoiced me...
  6. Every time I plan something outside of work, people place orders?

    I wish more Dad's taught kids those values. We're a service business. We have to react to things, whether it's poor planning or not. If you can't service your potential customers needs, then they'll get them done, it will just be by your competition. I'd rather work a little longer and stop them...
  7. What do you guys think??

    Well, not that I supported this thread in the first place, but now I know I have nothing to add.
  8. What do you guys think??

    "Here you get to describe a little about your bushiness," That's a little personal, isn't it?
  9. Just riding my bike man, nothing to see here....

    Perfect timing, this just arrived in my inbox : http://editor.des09.com/vo/?FileID=4403a735-8f47-48c3-972d-c5a69dfd466b&m=befca184-b027-40f9-b227-8215f166fe94&MailID=28457440&listid=80083 Looks like the exact thing.

    Tools, options, workplace, toolbox, zoom, pick the center zoom on mouse box.
  12. Copying this Effect

    In Illustrator, select the text, pick Effects, Blur, Radial Blur, then amount about 25 or so, Blur Method Zoom, Quality wherever you need it.
  13. Postershop not letting me rotate files

    Can you check the permissions on your folders, or folders that contain a file that's giving you an issue? Sounds like one of the folders has the wrong permissions. We store things on a network drive too and not long ago I had issues where any folder created on one computer would cause permission...
  14. Illustrator CC in OSX Mavericks

    I don't do a lot of drop shadows in Illustrator, but I just tried it on on a 2.8GHz i7 running 16 GB of RAM. I made 12" tall text and applied a .25" drop shadow to it and it rendered pretty quickly. Running Mavericks as well. It's not instant, but it was maybe 2 seconds for 8 letters 12" tall...
  15. Media Profiles for HP L260 (ONYX RIP)

    Here's a couple places to start : The HP website loads really slow, so be patient.... https://ssl.www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/2013/ga/MediaLocator/home.html http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Graphics/3Mgraphics/ToolsAndSupport/ColorProfileSelector/...
  16. Too much in receivables

    We did signs for an existing customer for a new building. They were contracted by the builder to do the interior signs and we made 100's of signs for them. They stopped short of paying us in full with no explanation. There were no issues with the signs or the quality and all signs we made were...
  17. Mural Outside Sign 4 X 8, Material, Process, Help Please.

    Printing it wouldn't be that expensive, no. I've never painted a themed/artwork panel, so yes, it's different to me than painting a solid color. A solid color can be painted in minutes. I imagine your hand painted artwork is going to take longer than that. You have a lot of options here. Have...
  18. Problem to install Onyx Production House

    From this link : http://www.kb.lesolson.com/InstantKB20/KnowledgebaseArticle50473.aspx it looks like that's a media file and you need to have that loaded. See if that link makes any sense to you. I already have it installed, and I don't recall it asking that, so maybe you are missing the media...
  19. Mural Outside Sign 4 X 8, Material, Process, Help Please.

    Seems like that's exactly what I said. No need to seal it afterwards. But you do need to be aware that if it's sitting on the ground and getting dragged around, it's going to scuff the paint and primer off the bottom edge, which will allow water to wick up into it and cause it to fail over...
  20. Mural Outside Sign 4 X 8, Material, Process, Help Please.

    Thank you for your service! I wouldn't put a kids faces through aluminum sheet metal. There are a number of products. If you want to use plywood, get a marine grade plywood (it has no voids in the layers for water to get in and freeze), prime and paint it and you'll be fine for what it is. You...
