  1. Font ID Anyone?

    When I load this .pdf into Illy, it says "The Font Hamlet is missing..." but everything I've seen on the net about Hamlet doesn't look a thing like what Adobe PDF viewer opens...anybody know about this typeface? Much thanks, Ben
  2. Little League, Logos and Life Imprisonment

    I was wondering the same thing...but only for banners...
  3. Jarhead on gatorfoam...

    I have some free Jarhead and I've printed a few things and mounted it on gatorfoam...so far so good, does anyone see an issue with longevity with it? I haven't had anybody come back saying it has come up off the foam, yet, but I'm wondering what kind of risk would be associated with that. Any...
  4. How can I recreate the starbust like gradient on this...

    A little more clarity from me and much thanks... I probably should have clarified a bit that I was just trying to come close, but thank you so much for the direction you all gave me. What I ended up doing, I did in Illy. I took the original graphic and outlined a rough shape of the burst. I...
  5. How can I recreate the starbust like gradient on this...

    How do you describe the effect? What would you even call this visually? All I can think off is like a gradient starburst type thingy. If I can dig around for it, I might have some luck finding a tutorial, but I wouldn't even know what to call it.
  6. How can I recreate the starbust like gradient on this...

    Any other suggestions? Any other suggestions on how to get started on this? Thanks
  7. How can I recreate the starbust like gradient on this...

    I wouldn't even know what to search for in the tutorials...I would have figured Illy'd be the ticket for this...
  8. How can I recreate the starbust like gradient on this...

    Got this PPT slide from a client and he wants a poster of it. Any thoughts on how to create that starbust like gradient? I am not an illustrator pro, but can hold my own...just need a little guidance from time to time. Thanks, Ben
  9. Trouble getting this pdf or eps into flexi or corel

    You still should get Illustrator...CS4 users don't seem to be having much of an issue and it sounds like some CS3 peeps are doing okay, too. You won't be sorry when you get Illy. It's "da bomb"!
  10. Trouble getting this pdf or eps into flexi or corel

    Get Illustrator.
  11. Forward Wound 26 in solvent printable banner material, HELP!

    Too pricey...twice as much as I can get the freedom reverse wound. I wonder if I can special order Peak in a 26 inch wide roll, but then again anything special ordered would probably be too price as well. Thanks for the quick reply, though.
  12. Forward Wound 26 in solvent printable banner material, HELP!

    Hey everybody! I'm looking for forward wound 26" wide solvent printable banner material. Anybody know of a supplier with a good price? We are currently using Freedom from signwarehouse, but it is reverse wound and my 1614 can't always pull it through without it buckling. I just want...
  13. Font ID Anyone?

    Thanks, after further examination, it looks like Compacta fits the bill.
  14. Font ID Anyone?

    Hey Everybody... I can't quite seem to pinpoint this one. I know I'm gonna say "duh" as soon as someone IDs it correctly. Eyes too tired from looking at too many fonts today. Thanks, Ben
  15. Sorry for all the requests for stand help, but here is another...

    I had never seen that size in any catalog or warehouse around here either.
  16. Sorry for all the requests for stand help, but here is another...

    I guess this reece and nichols size is just quirky...i can't get 18x28 oriented vertically (that size at all, for that matter) and it doesn't appear that Oakley sells blanks.
  17. Sorry for all the requests for stand help, but here is another...

    Okay, I'm here once again with a stand question, and also an aluminum blank question. I usually sell real estate signs using blanks from NGlantz that are the standard 18"x24" aluminum sign blanks and the standard real estate sign frames. Got a client who sells for Reece and Nichols and I guess...
  18. Cutting gatorfoam...

    Success! Thanks for all the tips...applied vinyl (egg shape about 22 inches wide through the middle and 30 inches tall through the middle) then cut roughly 1/8" - 1/16" around image with a bandsaw using a pretty general woodworking blade. We were going to sand it down to the image, but the...
  19. Cutting gatorfoam...

    Hey Everybody... I have a customer who wants a foam sign with printed vinyl cut in the shape of an egg. Roughly 2ftx3ft. I've only cut gatorfoam in straight lines with a razor knife. Should apply the vinyl and then cut the shape with the vinyl adhered to it, or cut the gatorfoam to the shape...
  20. A sign stand for foam board like this...

    Anybody? I can get the standard stuff at good prices, but can't find something like this anywhere. Black finish would be preferred. Customer requested this size. Sign stands seem to be the hardest thing to find custom. Thanks for any info... Not to scale, BTW :)
