I agree with Andy, I have the same problem with flaking edges on cut. Agfa told me to crank the lamps up to high and use a specific brand of coro. It helped some, but not enough. Now I try to only do things that do not involve heavy ink coverage on the cut edges. In addition, I try to have time...

Thanks Great post Mark. Sorry you had to close down, but sharing your experience may save someone else from agony. It is applicable to any business, not just a sign shop. Good luck Ken

Sent you a PM PM sent earlier. I can help.

While kind of pricey, this is what we use for this type of display. http://www.agam.com/ The stuff looks nice, and if handled well, will last forever. Ken Miller

Sounds like factory to me as well. I had a roll brand new, got to the last three feet of it, never unrolled or touched, and low and behold, there was a child sized handprint, right in the middle. Ken Miller

If you are a freelance designer, the chances of having a "posted" policy is fairly slim, as you normally work out of your home office, and rarely, if ever actually have a client in. I freelanced for almost 15 years, and the last client who actually came to my office at home was probably in year...

Use the hollow arrow cursor, and hold down the option or alt (on PC, I think) key and drag a box around the area. Should be able to select just the area you want

Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery from here.

A number of years back, I had some vinyl cut for stencils to letter a railroad caboose. I had them cut in August for application in October, but weather never cooperated. So it was the following spring. The adhesive had gone bad on the stencils and they seemed to stick OK, but they did not seal...

I just wanted to say a thank you to all the folks who contribute here, whether in the area of what font is this, equipment knowledge, material knowledge, it is a tremendous resource to folks. I was having an issue last week of ink dripping on my work. Usually a static issue, but this was...

Thanks Brink! I activated the font, drew a box to match what is one the banner, and stretched it to fit, then measured some other dimensions and that works almost exact. I suspect that was the first time I've ever had Gothic 920 active on my computer. Best Ken

Indeed it is. I spent a good bit of time yesterday trying to find a "2" that matched. The curve on the bottom of the left hand part is what is really messing with me. Ken

I try to not ask for font ID unless I am totally in the blind. These are some large numbers on aisle banners. They are numbered 100-1800. They predate me at the company, which is over 10 years. I cannot find any art for them. I need to make 6 additional banners with new numbers so that they...

I'm just not quite fast enough on the trigger! I bow to J. Hill, the master of font ID! :)

Looks like Goudy Handtooled to me Ken

This was one from 2015: http://www.roanoke.com/news/local/roanoke/roanoke-tattoo-artist-files-copyright-infringement-suit-against-macado-s/article_fabf3556-42f6-5b65-95ff-0a5dbb7ad111.html I don't totally recall, but I think it was settled with a cash payment. Ken

Thanks for this Tim. I never knew it, but also never really thought of how it came about. I've never actually used them, but have several pounce patterns in my collection of passenger train logos from back in the 1940s. Interestingly enough, I also have a precut stencil pattern for one of the...

A big second on that. I just got a file from a bank to make a decal to stick over another logo on a sign. It came from their Marketing Manager, it was a low res JPEG.... I took and drew it because I can. But it still amazes me what folks who should know better, are clueless. I cannot believe...

Exactly what I'd say. Scam, don't let anyone into your system that you do not know. I have this error a lot at home, cable internet, and get the same thing through Apple mail. I was told it is on the server end, nothing to do with my side of the equation. That said, it still is irritating. And...
