Depends on the type of signs. We had a realtor supposedly get 10 double-sided corrugated yard signs stolen. Turns out it was the city. Just like political signs are required to be removed within a certain period of time too. I think some municipalities even invoke a fine if not complied with.

Fonts should be kept in a network folder here. If a coworker is missing the font, FontManager will offer to install it. Provided you have set up FontManager properly.

Yes, that's what I thought. Have one as is and a duplicate with fonts converted. Yes, notes too. Print profile used, specific material and/or substrate, matte or luster laminate etc.

What the what!? Why would you do that? 10years later when they want the same design "just change the text" Uh...I don't remember what the font was.

I know just what you're thinking and I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Often times i see posts with 50 views but no replies. I open the post and it's gibberish. Either too vague or using words no one understands. I'm not speaking of any language barrier either. "How do I make this?" -no example given, nothing! "Need help with this" -file won't open, no file...

Make sure the pinch rollers are all set either the same pressure or the outermost set to high and the inner 2 set to low.

Are you designing at full scale? If so, 300dpi is overkill. All your images should remain at whatever dpi they "stretch" out to be i.e. you may start with an image at 300dpi but when you physically change the dimensions of that image it will become something around 32dpi. Leave it alone. When...

I say you win! Sonoco vector logo

No need for duplicates(two layers). If you are working from a vector vehicle template just powerclip your design into the vehicle outline. Once it's finalized you can then create your panels. Also look at the resolution of any raster images. SHouldn't be anything over 72dpi. Crop any down close...
