  1. Recommendation Needed

    Google is your best friend for finding the layout packs to buy ... as for square footage ... height times width minus the window space (which incedentally is height times width as well) will give you square footage.
  2. Cutting Master cutting twice?

    The times I've encountered this has always been an import where I left a hairline stroke and the import created it as a second shape. If no hairline is present and is only a single shape , like others have said ... a cut contour feature might be present.
  3. Wind Damage

    Alumacor is primarily a plastic corragation under metal. Decent stuff ... though .. had some delaminate from the plastic about a year in on a sign ... bracket still held it up ... but the plastic was d.e.d dead. our supplier warrantied it.
  4. i was thinking..

    I wish. I worked less hours for myself before I starting city hopping for the wife's carrier. Now I'm working 60 hour weeks (sometimes more) working for someone else ... I get time and a half now ... but not the profit margins that make working for yourself worth it. Pretty much every sign...
  5. Please join us as we welcome our newest graphic designer!

    Congrats on the larval unit!
  6. Like MC Hammer Says- "You Can't Paint This!"

    I think the photo looks good. If it's a piece of local scenery that is well known ... well all the better. I don't think a vehicle needs to be in it ... besides ... with that sort of wall treatment ... can't the OP just suggest a digital print of one on something like cintra that can be...
  7. Questions for businesses involved in digital

    If you're looking for people to just dump all their shop information and choice of preferences on one page, I would suggest you participate a little. Participation goes a long way to ensure you just aren't here to waste their time. And like others have said, being a merchant member might help...
  8. pick apart please... i'm stuck

    I would take the 4 square background in the circle and part and make it a single solid (maybe with a gradient fade from dark around the edges to bright in the center) Your metal "reflections" don't match their shapes ... throw a stroke the same width as the crown around that little bar (which...
  9. Save your scrap

    +1 to that. My predecessor left me with such a huge stack of scrapes (2 rubber maid bins of small flat pieces, 4 boxes all tightly rolled .. and unusable, and this shelf that was about 9" or 10" deep.) ... needless to say I was shocked. Spent the time and sorted out highly used colors one day...
  10. Some people just dont get it.

    This guy is a winner. I had one yesterday come in and tell me how to use my tape measure. As if I don't know how to put lettering the same spot on both sides of his p.o.s. 85 econo van that had more spots where the paint flaked off leaving only primer and/or rust ... should have told him how...
  11. Best way to remove vinyl from a banner...

    Nice, never thought of it that way.
  12. what do I do with this guy?

    +1 ... I don't cut other peoples materials for just the reason above. Had a guy that brought in that confetti vinyl one time and I broke down to cut it because he was a "decent" customer (bit too much of a penny pincher in the wrong areas I'm afraid) ... his "vinyl" started tunnelling while...
  13. Save your scrap

    The only ones I try to save are the ends of the roll. Rarely do I cut to the nearest 5" or so to the roll as the graphics I do are rather large ... but on occasion that foot or so comes in handy on small things that come through the shop or a single spot color.
  14. Best way to remove vinyl from a banner...

    The best way to remove old vinyl from a banner is to just throw it in the fire, charge them for removal and order new ones. Never had a good time salvaging banners ... especially if they are over a year old ... 9 times out of 10 they are so brittle you will tear the banner (or atleast mar it...
  15. Frogs!!!!!

    +1 to that! ... fried eggs and frog legs are great in the morning.
  16. Wonder how legal this is?

    I keep envisioning the end of oceans thirteen.
  17. Duck tape has come a long way from the silver stuff.

    I saw those the other day at the local craft store .. it was with the cricut supplies. I almost peed my pants laughing.
  18. Hand Drawn Sign?

    Nice!:rock-n-roll:
  19. What am I doing wrong with Coreldraw X5? Please help!

    it's almost always a crap shoot. I don't think there has been one time that I have successfully imported a cdr into anything that didn't require massive fixing ... I almost always just resort to eps so I can import into adobe as well ... cdx is about the same results with adobe as cdr is with...
  20. Newbie Help. Is this possible?

    it can be screened ... not with that much detail, but it can be done.
