Was asked to create a 4'x8 sign by a friend at a Christmas party the other day. His kids have a business and he wants to make a gift of it to them this holiday. He handed me a card that they use and said it should look like that. I took a bit of artisitic license and improved it...

Looking thru some marketing materials today and saw this ad from Summa. Seems like the folks at Guitar Hero might taka a dim view of this. What are your thoughts? Does it cross the line? (apologies if this has been discussed before)

When I copy and paste a photo (a simple .jpg) into a new document in PhotoShop (CS5) it pastes it in as a black and white. What's happening to my color?

Is anyone else having this particular glitch? Certain times text won't ungroup. When you go to Smart Edit, the options are greyed out. As if Smart Edit has already been removed. But when you double click on the text, sure enough, you go back to the text entry dialog box, no problem. My problem...

Just the Jack L. Dulley

Ok, running Omega 4.0 on Win7 64 bit. Nothing chinzy about my machine either, 3 gig processor, 16 meg ram, super fast graphics card. (gForce GTX 400) etc. First class all the way thru. But tearing my hair out regarding what should be a simple process, ie: exporting as an .eps file, a raster...

Free to a good home. Must pick up. Probably every issue there. Need to make room for some exciting changes coming. Intermittent issues of Sign Builder in the collection, too. Flame? Rep? Anyone in the region?

Does anyone recognize this one? (the Exodus one)

At launch today Versaworks asked to download the latest upgrade. Now all .tif files sent to it for print are displaying really wierd. All lines and mishapen. Eps files display and print fine. What has happened? I've re-started the computer. I've restarted Versaworks both to no avail. Ideas?

We're wrapping two Smart cars for a property management firm. (the layout is attached). But the client has asked me to put something "funny" on the roof. Something that would seem funny to a guy who's tall enough to be looking down on it. I have no ideas. It would really be great if it...

We've got the job to wrap two smart cars for a property management firm. We developed the little "logo" (which they like) from clip art and text. They don't want a lot of stuff on there other than the "equal housing" logo and their slogan "where good renters find great homes". One vehicle is...

Does anyone know how much of my current software I'll have to upgrade to make everything compatible? VersaWorks 3.0 Omega Composer 2.61 - I already know must be upgraded to 4.0 I believe. CorelDraw 9.0? PhotoShop 7.0? (I know, I know it's ancient)

Ok, about to have a new machine built with these specs. Is there something I'm missing, over-killing, or a better route? We run a single digital printer off this particular workstation. We are a general commercial sign shop wrapping only about one vehicle a month. (but those files are often...

...in addition to running a sign shop? We have an opportunity before us to buy out an existing shop. Lock, stock and barrel. And operate it under one roof with our sign shop. Seems like it'd be a good fit? Yes? Anyone else doing this? Charles

Grrr....Tearing out my hair on this one. Printing clear static cling. Two color. Foil Gold and Black. (see attached) Can't get the black to completely overprint the gold. I've downloaded all 14 pages on this topic. (and read them) Seems like it should be a simple thing. Don't want the...

Here's one. It's familiar, but check out the six. It looks different.

This is from a menu board and the client wants to begin using our shop for changes. Anyone recognize it offhand?

Love to hear some commentary on what others believe is the near future (next 5-10 years) of the industry. More specifically: Regarding the public perception of "a sign shop" versus "a copy center". You know, the notion that a person is coming to see "a professional" versus going to some...

Ok, was making some changes to a file in Omega Composer. Went to "save" it and Composer blew out mid-save. Now when I re-open that file (after re-launching Composer) it says that the "file appears empty, no shapes found" something like that. Is there any way to recover that file? It was a...

Some of you may remember my post about my daughter's vehicle being stolen. About 12 weeks ago or so. Well, we've got it back. The Vancouver (WA.) PD impounded it. It was abandoned at a gas pump at a 7-11. We paid the impound fees and towing fees and now she's got it. Story has ended well.
