If you want to get into installing wraps I'd suggest you take a course. Avery and 3m both offer wrapping courses. I haven't been to the 3m course but I know that Avery has hands-on training as well as a classroom type-setup where they go through the design process and how to set up your design...

I need to clean it up and make it look like a real font again and also use the font for other purposes. I will vectorize it myself if it comes to that. Thanks!

This one looks like it's been converted to vector from a pixelated raster file a few times over... Any help would be great!

I am fully aware of why standardized color swatches exist in general. I didn't see that as necessary to explain. As for sending customers swatches so they can visually choose a color and you can maintain that color throughout all their jobs - you could do that with a simple CMYK printed...

So the Roland spot colors don't yield brighter colors than straight CMYK? The spot color do in fact use more ink in order to create more vibrant colors. And you're telling me you've never used a Roland spot color in order to match to a Pantone color a customer requested? Because that happens to...

Exo is correct. If you go into the glyphs list for that font there are alternates to some of the letters...including the e, f,d etc..

Wow...you know you have some good points. I removed my comment about trustworthy because as a Graphic Designer I have a tendency to judge things like that a bit harshly and realized that implying that it reflects the actual work of the company was rude on my part and I know first-hand that it's...

Whoa...that Ad.:noway: What's the deal with her not wearing shoes?

I'm not sure if that is even an option but here's why it wouldn't make sense to do that... The whole reason that the spot colors exist is to produce more saturated and vibrant colors than what CMYK can typically yield. Also for color matching more easily to Pantone Swatches. The only way to...

There are larger high-output LED's specifically made for the purpose I'm describing. Here's one from Grimco.http://www.grimco.com/Products.aspx?cid=5113&pid=80017 Our sales rep came and did a demo for Hanley and had a smaller cabinet with the edge lighting installed. I haven't seen it used in a...

Yes, that is kind of obvious. I'm probably using the wrong term to describe what I mean. The box is the same size and style as several others on site. When we got the order the customer informed us that they needed another flex face sign cabinet in the same style as their others. They supplied...

Thank you everyone for the tips and information. I'll be ensuring the standards get applied from now on. We will probably be converting it to LED lighting in which case we may just do perimeter lighting.

I'm sorry I can't tell if you're joking. Please let this be true!

Simple as that eh? just too close to the face? Yeah the 1 daylight lamp is a whole other WTF issue in itself...Not to badmouth the shop crew but some days I wonder how some of them survived this long. The screw-up stories could fill a bookshelf. Off topic but for instance: a few years ago the...

Can anyone suggest might be the cause and solution to the streaky lighting on this backlit box? The cabinet itself is 6" deep and came empty. We installed the guts, including the fluorescent bulbs you can clearly see. The graphic is printed 15oz flex face material. Our shop foreman quit a...

Every customer is different so I wouldn't say there's a proper formula to follow every time. Some have a better idea of what they want and can afford...some have very little knowledge of the value of anything sign related so they need a bit more guidance. I'd say play it by ear and don't worry...

I would start with bottom middle. If only for the simplicity and reproducibility in single color applications. Some of the text is a little cramped and lines are a bit thin so it can bleed and blob at smaller sizes. As for concept I don't get much from any of them. I agree you should stay...

Thanks. I'll try this first if the issue ever comes up again. Much easier to just change that setting in VersaWorks vs editing the file and reloading.

:covereyes:Soooo....it turns out my issue was, in fact, that I was mixing color spaces among the objects in my file. In my defense Illustrator lied to me! (See attached video and jpg because I swear I can't make up the glitches I get in Illy CS5 but I sure can prove they exist!) The .png of...
