  1. Output size differs from file size!

    Shot in the dark here. This happened to me a few times. Really got my goat...somehow I had changed the percentage to like 94% instead of 100%. This is Flexi but maybe you have something similar...
  2. Anyone printing Note Cards? What printer are you using?

    You can send them to Signs365. They print on a large sheet of paper so you get 9 cards for $2.00. You can use a bleed, they cut them apart and you can still have the fun of folding at your leisure. I just ordered some glossy post card type handouts, they turned out really nice and the customer...
  3. Converting colors CMYK

    Thanks guys! I think instead of picking out a nice Pantone color from the guide they just start designing in CMYK and assume the print and screen colors are the same. Drives me nuts!
  4. Converting colors CMYK

    I'm trying to match ink colors for shirts. They send me a vector file with CMYK. The colors look weird. I convert it to RGB - they still look weird. She said it's purple and light blue. They look purple and teal. I asked if they had a Pantone color I could quick match to. She has her designer...
  5. Customer left large deposit, went MIA

    Kind of off subject but a customer came in yesterday and had been doing landscaping with an older man in his 80's. The old man was making odd comments to the young worker (in his 20's). The young man let it go. He came back again and the old man had his balls hanging out of his shorts and was...
  6. How to tell the difference in Vinyl's.

    I do the same as White Haus...my labels are very similar!!! I also have a few shelves and I keep one for cast and one for calendared.
  7. HArd Font To Find

    Maybe it's 2 different fonts? Try just the R then try the other letters when you search.
  8. Looking for Pesticide Signs 2-300 small with stakes

    This is perfect! Thank you!!!
  9. Looking for Pesticide Signs 2-300 small with stakes

    Never ordered these before so I'm looking for some ideas. Do most people do the UV gloss 2 sided paper with the little slide in stake? Or coroplast with a single stake - I can't find a wholesaler that cuts them small enough. Looking for probably 4"x4" or 5"x5" Something like this?
  10. What would you use?

    Everything looks bad with this sign. It's completely rusty, the screws are rusty - yuck. I would do ACM with IJ40 and Cast lam.
  11. Need Help Thriving Business For Sale

    I remember you talking about this. How old of a guy is it?
  12. Need Help Thriving Business For Sale

    I saw someone there last week. This guy in town who has a heating business has been buying small businesses and having other people run them. He has a girl there running it. A couple months ago she was emailing me asking what I charge for printed vinyl. I never responded. I haven't heard much...
  13. Need Help Thriving Business For Sale

    That's awesome! I would like to do the same thing at some in a few years. I would not sell my building but rather rent the space out that I'm in now and work from home. I don't feel like there's much money in selling a business except for the equipment/building. When the sign shop down the road...
  14. Rainbow Month support?

    If us beer drinkers drank bourbon as fast as we drink beer, we would be passed out pretty quickly LOL
  15. Multi color vinyl production

    I would also give two prices and hope they bite at the printed. What size vinyl roll are you using? 30"? Can't do 2 up on 24" - that sucks. Don't forget to account for all the wasted vinyl. I would try what the above person said, maybe try and do 3-4 at a time but cut a little registration mark...
  16. Rainbow Month support?

    My boys had a big landscaping job for a woman who has "Very, very....VERY, very large breasts and a beard." Being from a small town this might have been the first time they spoke with such a person. A couple days afte the job was done my youngest said..."At first it was weird but then I didn't...
  17. Air Quality By You

    Thats a great point. Can't verify where the record points are but I can verify that lettering a truck on asphalt is hotter than hell vs. standing on the grass.
  18. Air Quality By You

    Here in WI it's clear today but we had a couple days of haziness and there was an air quality alert. They said it was from the Canada wild fires.

    I really liked my rainbow golf umbrella!!!! I can't use it anymore because all my friends laugh at me and ask me which girl I'm taking home that night. Ugh...the good old days when rainbows were just something pretty to look at.

    Judging by the pride parade I saw on Twitter with a man whipping another man while driving down the street in the back of a pick-up truck, I'm guessing Hetro Pride Celebrations probably looks something like this...
