All the best for a happy B-Day! Sounds like it was full of surprises :thumb: ...and good ones!

Just printed a "tint" on 2 mil matte laminate and it was installed yesterday. The image was 5' x 8' printed to match a 20% tint of a PMS spec color - similar to the wall color - and contour cut to a swirly floral shape. It was installed to accent an interior dimensional letter set and...

Figure out why they're moving in and what they want to sell. Someone did some research to pick that location - with help from the corporate office. Their core business is printing and copies - and more high quality color copies than printing nowadays. I would look first for schools and...

Porosity of the material and the somewhat weak cross-link molecular structure of the substrate, lead to the failure of the vinyl application to bare wood. The microns thin layer of adhesive found on typical vinyl manufactured for use in the sign industry is not thick enough to encapsulate and...

Not only that, but when you pull archived art to recreate/change/replace something that the shop made, there's convenient documentation on what materials were used. While it does have it’s presentation benefits, it’s my opinion that it’s mandatory for the shop to know what they “L” they’re doing...

Great spec sheet! Reading the details from your design thread, I could almost get there on the exuberant construction. I'd think the lighting is going to play a role in how well that works. ..It really looks like a planned fabrication and use of found material. I went through an...

8.5" x 11" document size fits my work flow. Like Pat, over the years I've gotten a "best guess" sensibility of stroke weights and point sizes working at that scale. It helps me to speed the process by using the numbers I'm familiar with, rather than trial and error of not working with a...

I'm not sure if this offers more than your existing software, but check out CADtools. There's a menu called CADTracker that will measure the perimeter and area of a vector image. It's an Illustrator plug-in. ...and not that I know anything about advanced Illustrator features, but I think that...

...she did the aluminum flashing thing? :doh: I prob'ly got the wrong mental image going on, huh? Looking forward to seeing it though. :thumb:

...sketched?:help:? whatdoyagot ...transformer fingers? ...dam-man, a sketch is a pen or pencil scrawl on a bar nap or the back of an envelope. If you cross terminology-ize sketch and concept drawing like that, you'll be raising the bar too high and put No. 2 Pencil manufacturers outta...

.....seriously??? . :banghead: I'm sorry. I will say a special prayer for you. .

Ask a math question involving fractions... to determine if they can read a tape measure --- or center something in the space available. Then watch how they figure it out.

:omg: Tom Bays?... Buy everything from him ...and pay more to do it! When I was doing screenprinting in AZ, I found him to be the the single best resource for all things screenprint. He's a tough guy to get to spend some time with --- because he's the hardest working vendor in the business...

What did your father ever do to deserve that kind of punishment from such a loving son? LOL - Promise to take some pics of him painting that! Not only would it be good fun for the Signs101 family to see the end result, it might make a great step-by step display for the museum where the...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! ...and the museum is quite a nice addition to Pontiac's Main Street. I'm quite impressed with the leadership and commitment the Diaz's have for their community and profession! :thumb:

:ROFLMAO: Sounds like you either have a general manager candidate, or you'll have some good stories about a guy that used to work there. .

oooooops. perhaps I should be excluded from this discussion. nnnnnahh... For interior signs, we've laminated an optically clear adhesive on the face of the printed white.... and then used the adhesive side of the printed white to bond to another sheet of acrylic. I dunno, but a concern to me...
