None of us that have a computer to use eat food that is climate friendly, our society won't run without oil not yet anyways.

And the typography is all over the place, not enough negative space, and I agree with unclebun about branding.

These jokes are as old as my grandpa's sheep skin condom!

I had a customer once came in to get a quote on a home business sign, two sided MDO, full colour print both sides, painted edges and we quoted him about $150 or so and it was about 15 years ago. He called us criminals and cursed us on the way out of the shop, he showed up two weeks later to...

This reminds me of an old boss I had whenI was working in a sign shop in a mountain tourist town 20 years ago. The town had specific sign instructions for all businesses, no lit signs and the design had to conform to the overall style of the town. The way this town works is only one business is...

you could in theory pull off the old laminate, it looks like it would come off easily, then clean and apply a new clear layer over that, but an all new sign would be the best.

I have dealt with this issue for years. I mostly do preventative measure up front, I ask for a PRINT READY vector based pdf, all transparencies and gradients converted to bitmap, all fonts converted to curves or outlines. Of course most people don't have a clue what I am talking about, but it...

And charge extra for an install like that with all the registration issues, that adds time.

I have been reading quite a bit about this recently and it seems that the hearts have been ripped out of most major cities, our own Vancouver included. It is projected here is Canada, and I believe in the States too, that 60% of restaurants will not survive the year. The major reasons to endure...

Yes the removal will cost more than a new wrap, don't be kind if you do quote. That will be hell removing that, my fingers are hurting just thinking about it!

Yes that is IJ40 for sure, I use it all the time for anything flat even vehicles and floor graphics. It lasts great and may be fine on the vehicle if installed well, but for sure get 3M involved they don't like their products misrepresented by anyone. Use Rapid Remove for any glue removal, I...

I use the Avery wrapping film for this fairly often, I did this #7 in two pieces with my 24" plotter, and I have used leftovers for smaller cut jobs as well. The trailer is now over three years old and no complaints from the owner yet and I do his companies vehicle decals currently so he has...

I think that may be from a tree. I had issues with a tree in front of my house, I would park the car near, but not under, a deciduous tree for a day or two. It was sunny weather with no rain or clouds at all, and I would have a slightly sticky film in a droplet pattern on the tree only side of...

I outsource posters, I have a supplier that will do as low a quantity of twenty five 12" by 18" posters for about $40 including shipping on 100lb gloss, one hundred 24" by 36" for under $5 each. The labour for trimming is about that.

We may be seeing more and more shortages coming up. The supply chain in any industry usually has 4 to 6 months worth of products/materials that can still make it to the end consumer. We are starting to see the effects of this, everything in your supply chain is going to get unpredictable over...

Hello from Canada, a whole bunch of stuff happened while you were in jail, just a heads up! Lol

I agree, become an expert in a product or service first, then offer it for sale, it keeps profit margins high!

Change it to Space Cowboy!

I am a little old school still on 15, but this should work. Make the change in a file to the 0% spacing, then go to "Tools" then "Save Settings as Default".

Pick the lifestyle you want then figure out how to slide into the local sign market. I started making sigsn because I wanted to ski, so I got a job on a ski hill making signs and skied for free for three seasons. I now work in a small market, a city of about 100,000 and my shop is in my garage...
